First US large demonstration-scale injection of CO2 from a biofuel facility begins

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. The Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC) has begun injecting carbon dioxide (CO₂) for the first million-tonne demonstration of carbon sequestration in the U.S. The CO₂ will be stored permanently in the Mt. Simon Sandstone more than a mile beneath the Illinois surface at Decatur. The MGSC is led by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), part of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois.

"Establishing long-term, environmentally safe and secure underground CO₂ storage is a critical component in achieving successful commercial deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology," said Chuck McConnell, Chief Operating Officer for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE). "This injection test project by MGSC, as well as those undertaken by other FE regional partnerships, are helping confirm the great potential and viability of permanent geologic storage as an important option in climate change mitigation strategies."

MGSC is one of seven regional partnerships created by the DOE to advance technologies nationwide for capturing and permanently storing greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.

"I want to congratulate the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium, the Prairie Research Institute, ADM, and the other partners on this leading-edge demonstration project that has brought the future of clean energy research and technology to the state of Illinois today," said Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. "We are poised to reap the economic and environmental benefits that this public-private partnership has produced. This successful project gives Illinois a competitive advantage to attract green businesses and address our climate change responsibilities."

"We are enthusiastic as we reach the operational stage of our project. The analysis of data collected beginning in 2003 indicates that the lower Mt. Simon Sandstone has the necessary geological characteristics to be an excellent injection target for safe and effective storage of CO₂," said Robert J. Finley, PhD, director and leader of ISGS's sequestration team. The $96 million Illinois Basin Decatur Project was funded in 2007 and now marks the beginning of the injection of 1 million metric tonnes of CO₂ over the next three years.

"Reaching the injection phase of this project is a major milestone in sequestration technology world-wide and for the State of Illinois," said Prairie Research Institute Executive Director, William W. Shilts, PhD. "Four years of effort are coming to fruition at a site with unique capabilities, some of them first-in-the-world with respect to the extensive subsurface monitoring system. It's a strategic investment in Illinois' future." Visitors from Australia, China, Norway, Spain, and Japan have already visited the Illinois Basin Decatur Project and they expect to welcome more of the international sequestration research community over the next several years, Shilts noted.

The CO₂ is being captured from the fermentation process used to produce ethanol at Archer Daniels Midland Company's (ADM) corn processing complex. It is compressed into a dense-liquid to facilitate the injection process and permanent storage at a depth of 7,000 feet, according to Finley. The Mt. Simon Sandstone is the thickest and most widespread saline reservoir in the Illinois Basin, which covers two-thirds of Illinois and reaches into western Indiana and western Kentucky. The estimated CO₂ storage capacity of the Mt. Simon is 11 to 151 billion metric tonnes, and it is below several layers of shale that serve as an impermeable cap rock to hold the CO₂ in place, Finley added.

This demonstration project is part of the Development Phase of the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships program, a DOE Office of Fossil Energy initiative launched in 2003 to determine the best approaches for capturing and permanently storing greenhouse gases that can contribute to global climate change.

The Illinois State Geological Survey manages the MGSC project. ISGS characterized the regional geology that led to selection of the Decatur site and is investigating the characteristics of the Mt. Simon reservoir and the overlying shale seal that retains the CO₂. The Survey is conducting one of the most extensive environmental monitoring programs of any sequestration site in the world. The project is permitted under requirements of both the Illinois and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencies as the first large demonstration-scale injection of CO₂ from a biofuel production facility anywhere in the U.S.

Schlumberger Carbon Services is providing full project management for the design and construction of all wells associated with the storage and deep monitoring parts of the project. Drilling of the injection well in 2009 confirmed suitability of the site and was followed by a seismic survey, a geophysical monitoring well, and a pressure and fluid sampling (verification) well, all in 2010. Completion of the verification well was followed by two rounds of initial fluid sampling to thoroughly document pre-injection reservoir conditions.

Group files war-crimes complaint against Calderon (AP)

MEXICO CITY ? Mexican activists lodged a war-crimes complaint Friday against President Felipe Calderon at the International Criminal Court, claiming his offensive against drug cartels has involved about 470 cases of human rights violations by the army or police.

Netzai Sandoval, a lawyer for the coalition behind the complaint, said Mexican drug lords have also committed crimes against humanity during the conflict, which has cost 35,000 to 40,000 lives since late 2006.

The complaint filed Friday at the court in the Netherlands also names Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Calderon's administration has denied the accusations, saying it's an elected, democratic government fighting criminals and has established mechanisms to protect human rights.

On Friday, Mexico's Interior Department issued a statement saying "the public safety policy that has been implemented by no means constitutes an international crime." It said the government's actions "are aimed at stopping criminal organizations and protecting all citizens."

"The Mexican government is not at war, and there is no generalized or systematic attack against civilians, nor any government policy in that direction," the statement said.

Iran's parliament says to reduce ties with Britain (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? Iran's parliament has approved a bill to reduce Tehran's diplomatic relations with London and withdraw the country's ambassador to Britain.

In a session of parliament broadcast on state radio, lawmakers voted Sunday to require Iran's foreign ministry to reduce diplomatic relations to the level of charge d'affaires within two weeks. The bill needs ratification by a constitutional watchdog to become a law.

The decision is seen as a reaction to support offered by London last week to new American efforts to pressure Tehran to halt its alleged nuclear weapons program.

Iran says its nuclear activities have aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation.

International community makes last-ditch attempt to save Russian space probe

Officials from NASA and the European Space Agency have pitched in to help save the Russian Phobos-Grunt probe, which was supposed to fly to a Martian moon to collect soil samples but is instead stuck in orbit around Earth.?

An international effort is under way to save Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission to Mars, but time is quickly running out on propelling the probe toward the Red Planet.

Skip to next paragraph

The interplanetary undertaking is designed to visit Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, and return samples to Earth by 2014.

But?Phobos-Grunt's deadline?only chance for departure from Earth orbit is projected to be Nov. 24, due to the alignment of Earth and Mars as well as the spacecraft's fuel status to attain the outward-bound oomph required.

Using powerful radio dishes to monitor the vehicle, officials from the European Space Agency, NASA and Russia have been engaged in a global endeavor to rescue the spacecraft, which has been stranded in low-Earth orbit since its Nov. 8 launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After the?Phobos-Grunt probe?separated from its Zenit booster, the probe failed to perform a critical maneuver needed to begin the trek toward Mars. [Photos: Russia's Mars Moon Mission]

"We are trying to help them out of trouble," said Wolfgang Hell, the service manager who is overseeing the European Space Agency's support to Russia's NPO Lavochkin, the main contractor on the Phobos-Grunt project. Hell is based at the European Space Operations Center in Darmstadt, Germany.

"Normally, we were supposed to step in, so to speak, and provide tracking services with our ground station network once the spacecraft was on an escape trajectory to Mars," Hell told SPACE.com. "It was never planned that we would support the spacecraft while in the near-Earth phase."

Hell said that his Russian colleagues have gained a better understanding of what ails the spacecraft. "They reached the conclusion that they have some kind of power problem onboard. So they have become more specific in terms of what we should be doing to help them."

But that help embraces a number of challenges, Hell said.

For instance, the spacecraft risks running out of electrical power each time the probe is eclipsed as it spins around Earth. Commanding?Phobos-Grunt?, therefore, is possible only while it's facing the sun.

Also, due to a lack of downlink from the craft's onboard transponder, ground trackers must rely on imprecise radar-tracking data. Not knowing exactly where the spacecraft is makes pointing ground transmitting antennas correctly a challenge.

"It takes a lot of luck to really hit the spacecraft with a main beam," Hell said. "Because it's in such a low-Earth orbit ? we have so little time, something like six to eight minutes, to get the command up."

St Maarten finds local lionfish tainted with toxin (AP)

KINGSTON, Jamaica ? Conservationists in St. Maarten are warning islanders not to eat lionfish after tests found a naturally occurring toxin in the flesh of the candy-striped invasive species, officials said Thursday.

The findings have dealt a blow to the tiny Dutch territory's efforts to contain the spread of the venomous predator, a native of the Indian and Pacific oceans that has colonized large swaths of the region after a few apparently escaped a Florida fish tank in 1992.

Following the lead of other Caribbean islands, St. Maarten had hoped to promote the species as batter-fried or grilled delectables to slow their spread. They were found in the Dutch territory's waters in July 2010 and have been multiplying and gobbling up native fish and crustaceans ever since. Lionfish were first detected in the Bahamas in 2004 and rapidly spread south into the warm waters of the Caribbean.

But Tadzio Bervoets, chief of St. Maarten's Nature Foundation, said nearly half of the football-sized lionfish captured in local waters were found to have a biotoxin that can lead to ciguatera poisoning, a rarely fatal but growing menace that has long been known in the Caribbean, South Pacific, and warmer areas of the Indian Ocean.

Ciguatera poisoning is caused by eating some subtropical and tropical fish predators, including grouper, snapper and barracuda, which live by reefs and accumulate toxins through their diet. They accumulate the toxin in their flesh from eating smaller fish that graze on poisonous algae.

People who have eaten infected fish can experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tingling and numbness. Most patients recover in a few days. In rare, worst cases there is paralysis and even death.

No one has gotten sick from eating lionfish in St. Maarten, but the territory typically has more than a dozen cases of ciguatera poisoning each year from people eating barracuda and jacks.

St. Maarten's waters have long suffered from high levels of ciguatoxin, so Bervoets said the test results on lionfish were not a complete surprise.

Nonetheless, he added that island officials "were very much hoping that the results were negative."

"This means that we cannot safely promote lionfish as an edible species" in St. Maarten as officials are doing elsewhere, he said.

Across the Caribbean, governments and conservation groups have been sponsoring fishing tournaments, encouraging anglers to go after slow-swimming lionfish and marketing it to restaurants and diners, hoping to stave off an already severe crisis.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration have had no official reports of illness associated with the consumption of lionfish filets.

"But in endemic areas of ciguatera, toxins have been detected at levels exceeding FDA guidance and therefore could cause illness if consumed," said FDA spokesman Douglas Karas. "The Virgin Islands is one of those areas."

In recent months, the U.S. agency has collected more than 186 lionfish from the waters around the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Of these, scientists have tested 74 fish to date, with 26 percent confirmed to contain ciguatoxins at levels exceeding FDA guidance, according to Karas.

William Coles, chief of environmental education with the U.S. Virgin Islands Division of Fish and Wildlife, said the U.S. territory's fishermen know well where ciguatoxins accumulate and avoid catching fish in those endemic areas.

"So we have about the same level of concern with lionfish that we do with any other fish. But it's still a major concern," Coles said.

Across the region, it remains to be seen exactly how much impact fishing and marketing of lionfish can have. For now, it's the only hope in sight.

Scientists are still researching what keeps lionfish in check back home in their native range even as they're going gangbusters in the Caribbean, mostly untouched by the local sharks, moray eels and grouper.

Lionfish, which carry venom in a flowing mane of spines and can deliver painful stings, have also colonized swaths of the Eastern Seaboard.

Bervoets said he and his staff spend much of their free time hunting lionfish and encourage others to "hunt them and eradicate them in any which way they can."

"They are definitely multiplying. That's why it's such a shame we can't eat them here," he said Thursday in a telephone interview from St. Maarten.

Stocks suffer worst week in 2 months on Europe woes (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) ? Stocks posted seven straight sessions of losses on Friday, ending the worst week in two months, as the lack of a credible solution to Europe's debt crisis kept investors away from risky assets.

Wall Street traded higher for most of the abbreviated session on hopes that "Black Friday," the traditional start of the U.S. holiday shopping season, would support major retailers. But gains were quickly offset by headlines out of Europe that further dented market sentiment. With less than 20 minutes before the close, all three stock indexes had turned negative.

Yields on Italy's debt approached recent highs that sparked a sell-off in world markets. Italy paid a record 6.5 percent to borrow money over six months on Friday, and its longer-term funding costs soared far above levels seen as sustainable for public finances.

High debt yields from major economies in Europe such as Spain, France and Germany suggest investing in the region is seen as being more risky.

"Trading remains cautious (since) the poor auction of German bonds mid-week raised concerns the debt crisis is spreading to Europe's core," said WhatsTrading.com options strategist Frederick Ruffy.

Adding to concerns, Standard & Poor's downgraded Belgium's credit rating to double-A from double-A-plus, citing concerns about funding and market pressures.

The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) slipped 25.77 points, or 0.23 percent, to 11,231.78 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) declined 3.12 points, or 0.27 percent, to 1,158.67. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) shed 18.57 points, or 0.75 percent, to 2,441.51.

For the week, the S&P 500 fell 4.7 percent, giving back almost two-thirds of its gains in October, the market's best month in 20 years. The Dow was off 4.8 percent for the week and the Nasdaq fell 5.1 percent.

Pressuring the Nasdaq, shares of Netflix (NFLX.O) fell 6.8 percent to $63.86.

Entertainment companies with major consumer product units ranked among the gainers. U.S.-listed shares of Sony Corp (SNE.N) rose 4.2 percent to $16.96. Disney (DIS.N) shares rose 0.3 percent to $33.51.

Trading volume was thin, as expected, with just 3 billion shares changing hands on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq as the stock market closed at 1 p.m. The day after Thanksgiving is typically one of the lightest trading volume days of the year.

Microsoft signs agreement to scrutinize Yahoo (AP)

SAN FRANCISCO ? It looks as if Microsoft wants a seat at the negotiating table if Yahoo decides to sell part or all of its business.

To gain better access, Microsoft Corp. has signed a nondisclosure agreement with Yahoo Inc., according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because the agreement hasn't been formally announced.

The DealReporter and The New York Times earlier reported the arrangement between Microsoft and Yahoo.

Yahoo's board has been mulling the company's options since firing CEO Carol Bartz in early September. The alternatives include selling Yahoo's Asian assets, such as the Alibaba Group in China, and auctioning off the company in its entirety instead of hiring a new CEO. Tim Morse, Yahoo's chief financial officer, has been interim CEO since Bartz's ouster.

The DealReporter said that Yahoo's board is scheduled to meet next week to discuss its next step.

Microsoft unsuccessfully tried to buy Yahoo in 2008 for as much as $47.5 billion before walking away in frustration. Yahoo's stock is worth less than half of Microsoft's last offer of $33 per share.

Yahoo shares fell 3 cents Wednesday to close at $14.94. Microsoft's stock price dropped 32 cents to close at $24.47.

The New York Times reported that Microsoft is primarily interested in protecting its Internet search advertising alliance with Yahoo if its partner pursues a sale or a dramatic reorganization. Microsoft currently provides most of the search technology on Yahoo's website in return for 12 percent of the ad revenue generated from the results.

To preserve its business relationship with Yahoo, Microsoft already had explored contributing to a joint bid for Yahoo's U.S. assets with some of the buyout firms that have been considering making offers. That list includes Silver Lake Partners, Providence Equity Partners and the Texas Pacific Group.

Alibaba CEO Jack Ma has publicly acknowledged that his company would like to buy Yahoo, but that could be difficult because of U.S. government concerns about a Chinese business owning a U.S. company that handles email and other electronic communications.

North Korean defectors aim to cook up new lives (Reuters)

SEOUL (Reuters) ? Broke and alone in South Korea, North Korean defector Choi Hyun-ok is learning to cook and promote dishes from her homeland, hoping new skills will ease her way into life in a country where she has found refuge but has also been shunned.

The tired-looking 40-year-old, who declined to give her real name for fear of reprisals against her family still in the North, was a construction worker before fleeing a year ago.

But after three months in a government facility to help her adapt to life in the South, she got work in a restaurant only to find she was treated with suspicion because of her accent.

"I was physically exhausted from my battle between life and death and fear of getting caught by the Chinese police before sneaking into the South Korean embassy in Beijing," she said.

"After coming to the South, I was financially strapped after paying millions of won (thousands of dollars) to a broker who helped me escape."

But now she is part of a program that on the face of it trains North Korean defectors like her to be ambassadors for the food of the North, to find them jobs -- and whose long-term goal is to train people who can help bridge cultural gaps between the two uneasy neighbors in the event that they one day reunite.

Over the last few decades, more than 20,000 North Koreans have fled from the world's most reclusive state for their southern neighbor. But as more have arrived in South Korea, there have been fewer job openings.

According to the North Korean Refugees Foundation, in 2010 nine percent of North Korean defectors in the South were jobless compared with just three percent of the wider population. About 63 percent of defectors stayed no longer than a year at one workplace, in some cases due to trouble adjusting.

The free program combines cooking lessons with practical support such as speech classes to help newcomers lose their accents, along with advice on negotiating life in the thoroughly modern South, where defectors have to grapple with mysteries such as cash machines, along with earning a living.

"It's not just learning to cook, it's learning to stand up in front of other people," said Han Hyun-sook, another woman defector from the North getting the training.

"DESPERATE SEPARATION"

For several months, Choi and 19 classmates have been learning how to make dishes such as Haeju-style bibimbap, a rice dish topped with vegetables. Northern food is less sweet than that of the south, and has more pickled items.

The mood in the class is light-hearted. When the students introduce themselves in speech class, they joke that they are still more comfortable with the bombastic style of speaking used on North Korean propaganda broadcasts.

"South Korean people don't fully understand what we've been through, such as the desperate separation from our families, and insomnia," Choi said.

Lee Ae-ran, the program organizer and a professor of nutrition at Kyungin Women's College, who herself was a defector, said that the training course had several goals.

Getting work is only the most obvious. If and when the two Koreas are eventually reunited, defectors may have a key role to play in bridging cultural gaps, she said.

"Many people have only some narrow, unbalanced thoughts about North Korea -- that it is poor and its people are starving to death," said Lee, who defected to the South in 1997 and won the 2010 International Women of Courage award.

Experts said Lee's course was a good idea but even with the training, things would be tough for the new arrivals.

"North Korean food is not that popular here now and many North Korean restaurants have already closed or are struggling," said Park Jung-ran, at the Unification Institute of Seoul National University.

"They will need more financial support to back them up."

But the trainees are thankful and upbeat about their new lives.

"Unlike the people in the North, who are deprived of education and job opportunities, this class has helped me change my thinking. It gives me a chance to succeed," said Choi.

91% The Descendants

All Critics (136) | Top Critics (41) | Fresh (124) | Rotten (12)

One of the year's best films, a bubbly meditation on family and responsibility that weighs just enough to matter.

With so many balls in the air the temptation is to rush from one plot strand to another, but Payne takes the opposite approach. He also captures the complexity of emotional reactions that grief stirs.

It's a lovely, heartfelt character study of common, everyday people trapped on the horns of an uncommon but not unheard-of dilemma.

The latest exhibit in Payne's careful dissection of the beached male, which runs from Matthew Broderick's character in "Election" to Jack Nicholson's in "About Schmidt" and Paul Giamatti's in "Sideways."

This mature, well-acted dramatic comedy is deeply satisfying, maybe even cathartic.

A tough, tender, observant, exquisitely nuanced portrait of mixed emotions at their most confounding and profound -- all at play within a deliciously damp, un-touristy Hawaii that's at once lush and lovely to look at.

It's smart, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming, wise, and, despite some sad moments, genuinely optimistic. I experienced more feelings watching it than I usually get from ten movies.

Well-acted and touching with a mild eye for human foibles, this is one of the better-written films of the year.

What's so special about Payne's approach in The Descendants is how acutely observed and subtle the movie is, especially since the previews are selling it as a broader, more absurd comedy.

If you see The Descendants, see it for Clooney (and Woodley), but don't believe the hype that it's one for the ages.

A lot of The Descendants is affecting, but its mushier tone is often less emotionally resonant than the bitter sarcasm of Payne's earlier work.

This unforgettable movie succeeds by making audiences feel like a part of the family. Clooney knocks it out of the park with a marvelous performance. Woodley makes a strong bid for a supporting actress nomination. The supporting players are all given...

Here's where I am right now: The Descendants is the best movie of 2011. It is the movie of the year, in many ways beyond its simple superlative overall excellence.

(Clooney) is at the top of his game in his scenes alone with the comatose Elizabeth. Asking questions that are unable to be answered, his pain at his loss and her betrayal is heartbreaking.

Audiences will argue about whether it's a comedy or a drama, but they'll agree they saw a wonderful film.

The Descendants finds Payne, now 50, having arrived in midlife with a new maturity, eschewing solipsism and snickers for a deeper engagement with the world.

Clooney has never been better, displaying more range and less actor-ego than ever before... The Descendants would still be a splendid movie without him; with Clooney, it's one of 2011's very best.

It's good, but far less than you'd expect from the guy who started his career with the gleefully provocative Citizen Ruth and Election.

In the hands of writer-director Alexander Payne, Clooney has rarely seemed so much at home.

There are ample opportunities for the film to soak in pathos, righteousness, farce, or pictorialism, and Payne manages to nod at those pitfalls without falling into them.

An emotionally ennobling film that wears its compassion on the sleeve of its ugly Hawaiian print shirts.

Payne displays a knack for both perfect casting and using his lead actor in sometimes unconventional, unexpected ways

Director Alexander Payne prefers to start a movie with one strike against him. He always picks a dislikable protagonist... Then, as he slowly gives characters self-awareness, he gives us reasons to watch and care about them.

In playing an everyman stranded between anger and duty, Clooney earns an emotional payoff that a lesser actor would simply demand.

Turkey tells Syria's Assad: Step down! (Reuters)

ANKARA (Reuters) ? Turkey bluntly told Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down for the sake of his people, tightening regional pressure on Damascus while the wider world condemned Syria's violent crackdown on protests in a vote at the United Nations.

Activists said Syrian forces killed 21 civilians and five army deserters on Tuesday. Among those killed were four children shot dead by troops near a school in the central region of Houla and a 12-year-old killed at a protest in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

It was not possible to independently confirm the killings as Syrian authorities, who blame the unrest on "armed terrorist groups," have barred most independent media from the country.

The United Nations says 3,500 people have been killed since the protests erupted in March, triggered by Arab uprisings which toppled the leaders of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

"Without spilling any more blood, without causing any more injustice, for the sake of peace for the people, the country and the region, finally step down," Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, in his first direct call for Assad to go.

In a further sign that Turkey was stepping up pressure on Syria, Turkish media reported that Turkeys' land commander inspected troops near the border.

"Bashar al-Assad comes out and says 'I will fight to the death'. For the love of God, who are you fighting with?" asked Erdogan. "Fighting your own people until the death is not heroism. It's cowardice. If you want to see someone who fights his people to the death, look at Nazi Germany, look at Hitler, look at Mussolini," he told his ruling AK party.

"If you cannot learn a lesson from them, look at the killed Libyan leader who turned his guns on his own people and only 32 days ago used the same expressions as you."

But, echoing the stance of Arab League foreign ministers who suspended Damascus and have threatened economic and political sanctions, he said his criticism did not mean Turkey was calling for international military action.

"We do not have eyes on any country's land, we have no desire to interfere in any country's internal affairs," Erdogan said.

"SYSTEMATIC VIOLATIONS"

Highlighting Syria's growing isolation, 122 countries voted for a resolution at the U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee condemning the government crackdown. Only 13 countries voted against and 41 abstained.

The resolution says the committee "strongly condemns the continued grave and systematic human rights violations by the Syrian authorities, such as arbitrary executions, excessive use of force and the persecution and killing of protesters and human rights defenders."

It also demands an immediate end to "arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, torture and ill treatment of detainees, including children" in Syria.

Russia and China, which vetoed a European-drafted U.N. Security Council resolution last month that would have condemned Syria and threatened possible future sanctions, abstained according to an official U.N. tally, which diplomats said could indicate a shift in their positions.

Countries that voted against the resolution included Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Vietnam. Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari said the resolution, drafted by Britain, France and Germany, had no meaning for Damascus.

"Although the draft resolution is submitted primarily from three European countries it is not a secret that the United States of America is the mastermind and main instigator of the political campaign against my country," Ja'afari said.

"This draft resolution definitely has nothing to do with human rights; it is only a part of the typically hostile policy by the United States against Syria," he said.

Ja'afari held up for delegates what he said were documents naming terrorists arrested while smuggling arms into Syria. He said the documents offered clear proof of a U.S.-led plot to topple Assad.

German Ambassador Peter Wittig said it was time to move the issue back to the 15-nation Security Council, which has been deadlocked on Syria due to Russian and Chinese opposition.

"The Security Council cannot fall behind the region," he said, referring to the Arab League suspension of Syria. "We would encourage the ... council to come back to this issue."

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement that the resolution "sends a signal of united condemnation of the Syrian regime's systematic human rights abuses."

"As long as the crisis in Syria continues the international pressure on the Assad regime will only intensify," he said.

U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice also welcomed the committee's adoption of the resolution, which will be confirmed by a new vote in a plenary meeting of the General Assembly next month.

"By overwhelmingly adopting its first-ever resolution on Syria's human rights abuses, the ... Third Committee has sent a clear message that it does not accept abuse and death as a legitimate path to retaining power," she said in a statement.

10 gifts your mobile device fanatic will love

Smartphones and tablets are surely going to be the hot gifts this holiday, and if you know someone who is a mobile gadget fanatic, these unique gifts will help to round out your shopping list. Don't feel guilty about enabling their addiction, it's too late for them anyway. Save yourself.

Cursor stylus

My wife got her first smartphone last week and I caught her holding the phone with one hand and making broad swiping gestures with the other in a motion that was reminiscent of a conductor in front of an orchestra. For some, the transitional road from PCs to touchscreen devices is a bumpy one, which is where the Big Cursor Stylus comes in. It helps ease the transition with familiar arrow and finger cursor designs while allowing for precise movements and a clean, smudge-free screen. $12.99 - Big Cursor via CubicleBot

Powerbag

As someone who works from home but frequently travels to coffee shops and bookstores to get things done, I can tell you from experience that having one of these Powerbags comes in really handy. Basically, it's a backpack or messenger bag that features a built-in charging system for your tablets and smartphones. It features a 3000 mAh or 6000 mAh internal battery along with a micro connector, mini connector, Apple connector and USB port. The 3000 mAh battery is enough to charge many smartphones two times over, which means I can loiter twice as long. $139.99 to $249.99 - Powerbag

Compubody sock

I'm one of those people who really appreciates when someone takes the time and effort to make a gift themselves ? even when the gift that they create is completely ridiculous. Take this Compubody sock for example. It's a hand-knitted hoodie that fits over your head and a tablet, laptop or smartphone for both warmth and privacy in public spaces. It's kind of like the 21st-century equivalent of the bunny pajamas Ralphie got from Aunt Clara in "A Christmas Story." - Instructables via CubicleBot

iHelicopter

If you've ever played with a remote-controlled helicopter, you know how fun they can be. The difference is that the iHelicopter can be controlled with your iPhone or select Android devices, so it would be a really fun gift for your smartphone fanatic. Just plug the included IR transmitter into your phone, download the Copter Controller app and start flying. Or, in my case, violently crashing into the furniture and terrifying your pets. $46 - ParamountZone

Grab-It gadget holster

Picture a "lock and load" montage with a nerd stuffing his smartphone, keys, wallet and inhaler into this Grab-It Pack leg-mounted gadget holster. It's kindof like being a commando, right? Now load some fresh batteries into your TV remote and pretend you're loading a gun clip. You are a one-man army, my friend. The Grab-It Pack was developed by a stuntman to help keep all of his gadgets and tools at the ready. It's made of water-resistant nylon for extra toughness and it was designed to be ergonomic and comfortable to wear. It's actually a great gift for photographers, cyclists, handymen the like. $24.95 to $44.95 - Grab-It Pack via Fashionably Geek

Angry Birds speakers

Can't get enough Angry Birds? I would have thought the backlash would have begun by now, but you can still find it at or near the top of the paid apps in the App Store. If you know someone who's constantly wasting time on their iPhone or tablet playing the game, you might consider picking up one of these Angry Birds speakers. Despite the red bird having a reputation for being useless, the speaker is actually quite functional. Both the red bird and bomber bird versions have the ability to connect to a mobile device with an auxiliary cable. It also comes with a separate iPhone/iPod/iPad dock. The green pig version, on the other hand, has a built-in helmet dock for the iPod/iPhone. $79.99 to $99.99 - Gear4 via Nerd Approved

Umbrella messenger bag

When it's wet outside, the Umbrella messenger bag helps keep an umbrella over your head and your hands free for making phone calls, surfing the web on your tablet, holding a coffee or juggling. Plus it features four compartments and a cellphone pocket to carry around all of your portable gadgets. $19.99 - Amazon via Fashionably Geek

iCade

So someone you know has a state-of-the-art iPad tablet with thousands of console-quality games to choose from. Now let's dial all of that progress back 30 years or so with the iCade. It turns the iPad into a desktop-sized arcade cabinet that can be used to play over 100 of Atari's greatest retro hits and a growing list of third-party games. It's an excellent gift for nostalgic nerds. $79.99 - ThinkGeek via Nerd Approved

SLR lens iPhone mount

The new iPhone 4S and the latest Android phones have pretty formidable cameras nowadays ? certainly on par with many point-and-shoots. However, if you know a photographer who scoffs at smartphone cameras, this SLR lens mount for the iPhone could make for a really neat gift. It allows the user to mount Canon EOS or Nikon SLR lenses to an iPhone to give the phone "powerful depth of field and manual focus." Sure, mounting a $3,000 lens on an iPhone doesn't make any sense, but it's all about prestige. This is an all-in-one solution for both smartphone and camera snobs. $249 - Photojojo via Nerd Approved

Wipe T-shirt

You know you're not supposed to wipe your smudgy smartphone screen on your shirt, but you do it anyway. No need to search for a support group ? we all do it. That having been said, what the Wipe Shirt lacks in style it more than makes up for in functionality. That's because the strips are actually microfiber cloths that are great for wiping off your touchscreens and/or glasses. $89 - Generate via Fashionably Geek
