The present invention is related to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/041,868, filed Apr. 8, 1997, entitled Water Resistant Speaker Port For Automated External Defibrillators, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference, and priority to which is claimed according to 35 U.S.C. � 119(e).
The present invention is an automated external defibrillator (AED) having a water resistant speaker port. In particular, the present invention provides a water resistant fabric attached underneath a speaker port to prevent water from ingressing into the interior of an AED. Another feature of the present invention is the positioning of a microphone adjacent to the speaker port to eliminate the need for an additional cavity in the housing where water could ingress.
Cardiac arrest, exposure to high voltage power lines, and other trauma to the body can result in heart fibrillation which is the rapid and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle. The use of external defibrillators to restore the heartbeat to its normal pace through the application of an electrical shock is a well recognized and important tool for resuscitating patients. External defibrillation is typically used in emergency settings in which the patient is unconscious.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are used by first-responders, emergency medical technicians and other trained personnel to resuscitate patients in cardiac fibrillation. The American Heart Association has identified early defibrillation as the key link in the Chain of Survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Therefore, it is important that AEDs be ready for use on a moment's notice and that they be simple to use.
To help ensure a high level of confidence that they will be operational when needed, AEDs perform self tests to check for the presence and connection of defibrillator electrodes, battery charger state, the function of the high voltage circuit, and the function of the digital control system. If maintenance is needed, audio alarms and visual signals are given. To ensure the AED is fast and easy to use, it gives voice prompts to guide the user through the approved cardiac resuscitation process step by step. AEDs use built-in speakers to sound these audible alarms and voice prompts.
AEDs are used anywhere an emergency occurs, therefore, indoor and outdoor operation is important. Outdoor use requires that openings in the AED housing be substantially water resistant to prevent damage to internal electrical components due to water contact. However, current methods for weatherproofing speaker openings in AEDs may reduce speaker output quality, which in turn makes current AEDs sound like computers. This is undesirable in the high stress atmosphere of a cardiac arrest rescue, where a human-like voice giving instructions would be more clear, understandable, soothing, and calming to the person performing the intense life saving procedure.
Data collected on response time and activities at the emergency scene can be useful for analyzing a number of critical aspects of patient resuscitation. These include evaluating response procedures, training responders using real-life scenarios, and evaluating patient response to known treatment. It would be desirable to provide an AED capable of recording activities at the emergency scene for later use. Furthermore, it would be desirable to provide an AED that would clearly record ambient activities in all environmental conditions.
In accordance with the present invention, an automated external defibrillator (AED) having a water resistant speaker port is provided that overcomes the disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art. Specifically, an AED is provided having a housing and an openable lid. A speaker port is formed in the housing below the openable lid. A water resistant fabric is attached underneath the speaker port to resist water passing into the interior of the AED while allowing clear sound output from the speaker positioned below the speaker port.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a microphone is provided for recording emergency scene ambient activities. More specifically, the microphone is positioned adjacent to the speaker port. This position uses the existing water resistant speaker port thereby taking advantage of the good sound transmitting properties of the opening for recording purposes and at the same time eliminating the need for an additional cavity in the housing where water could ingress. Positioning the microphone near the speaker also eliminates the need for an additional wiring harness.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automated external defibrillator (AED) having a top and bottom half and a lid opened.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electrical system of the AED shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cut away of the AED of FIG. 1 illustrating the underside of the top half of the housing with a water resistant fabric according to the present invention attached.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the underside of the top half of the AED housing of FIG. 3 with a speaker attached.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the underside of the top half of the AED of FIG. 3 illustrating the positioning of a microphone adjacent the speaker.
The present invention is a water resistant speaker port for automated external defibrillators (AEDs). An AED 10 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated generally in FIG. 1. As shown, AED 10 includes a housing 12 with upper and lower portions 14 and 16, respectively. An openable lid 28 is also provided and is illustrated in an open position. Underneath openable lid 28 is an electrode connector port 20, a diagnostic panel 22 and a speaker port 24. As can be seen, speaker port 24 is comprised of a series of slots 26 which allow gas, liquid, and sound to pass through housing 12. It is very important that water be kept out of housing 12. If water were to get into housing 12, the electrical components inside of AED 10 could be shorted out.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electrical system 70 of AED 10. The overall operation of AED 10 is controlled by a digital microprocessor-based control system 72 which includes a processor 74 interfaced to program memory 76, data memory 77, event memory 78 and real time clock 79. The operating program executed by processor 74 is stored in program memory 76. Data memory 77 is used by processor 74 as a scratch pad memory during the execution of the operating program. Electrical power is preferably provided by a plurality of lithium sulfur dioxide battery cells 80 provide primary voltages of 11.6 volts (+12V) and 5.4 volts (+5V), and which are removably positioned within the battery compartment and connected to power generation circuit 84.
Power generation circuit 84 is also connected to power control circuit 88 and processor 74. Power control circuit 88 is connected to lid switch 90, watch dog timer 92, real time clock 79 and processor 74. Lid switch 90 is a preferably a hall effect switch and provides signals to processor 74 indicating whether lid 28 is open or closed. It should be noted that other switches, such as magnetic reed relay switches may also be used. Rescue/resume switch 18, maintenance indicator 21, rescue light 19, resume light 23, indicator lights on diagnostic display panel 22, voice circuit 94 and piezoelectric audible alarm 96 are also connected to processor 74. Voice circuit 94 is connected to the speaker 30. In response to voice prompt control signals from processor 74, circuit 94 and speaker 30 generate the audible voice prompts described below.
High voltage generation circuit 86 is also connected to and controlled by processor 74. In response to charge control signals provided by processor 74, high voltage generation circuit 86 is operated in a charge mode during which one set of semiconductor switches (not separately shown) cause a plurality of capacitors (also not shown), to be charged in parallel with the 12V potential supplied by power generation circuit 84. Once charged, and in response to discharge control signals provided by processor 74, high voltage generation circuit 86 is operated in a discharge mode during which the capacitors are discharged in series by another set of semiconductor switches (not separately shown) to produce the high voltage defibrillation pulses. The defibrillation pulses are applied to the patient through electrode connector 32 which is connected to the high voltage generation circuit 86.
AED 10 also includes electrocardiogram (EKG) filter and amplifier 104 which is connected between electrode connector 32 and A/D converter 102. The EKG or cardiac rhythm of the patient is processed by filter and amplifier 104 in a conventional manner, and digitized by A/D converter 102 before being coupled to processor 74.
The rescue mode operation of AED 10 is initiated when an operator opens lid 28 to access a packaged pair (not shown) of electrodes 50. The opening of the lid 28 is detected by lid switch 90, which effectively functions as an on/off switch. In response to this action, power control circuit 88 activates power generation circuit 84 and initiates rescue mode operation of processor 74. Processor 74 then begins its rescue mode operation by switching maintenance indicator 21 to a maintenance required state (e.g., a red visual display in one embodiment), flashing rescue light 19 and the indicator lights on diagnostic display panel 22, and performing a lid opened self-test.
During the lid opened self-test, processor 74 checks: 1) the charge state of battery 80; 2) the interconnection and operability of electrodes 50; 3) the state of event memory 78; 4) the functionality of real time clock 79; and 5) the functionality of A/D converter 102. Processor 74 accesses the event memory 78 to determine whether data from a previous rescue is still stored in the memory. If so, processor 74 causes light 49 on diagnostic panel 22 to be illuminated, and initiates the generation of a "Press resume button to clear memory and continue." voice prompt. If rescue/resume switch 18 is pressed by the operator following the activation of these indicators, processor 74 clears event memory 78 and proceeds with its rescue mode operation. The "service" light on diagnostic display panel 22 is illuminated by processor 74 if faults are identified in either of real time clock 79 or converter 102.
If the lid opened self-test is successfully completed, processor 74 switches maintenance indicator 21 to an operational state (e.g., a green color in one embodiment), and initiates the generation of an audible "Place electrodes." voice prompt. While the user places the electrodes, processor 74 monitors the impedance signals received through A/D converter 102 to determine whether the impedance across the electrodes indicates that they have been properly positioned on the patient. If the correct impedance is not measured, processor 74 initiates the generation of a "Check electrodes." voice prompt.
After detecting an impedance indicating the proper placement of electrodes 50, and without further action by the operator (i.e., automatically), processor 74 begins a first analyze sequence by initiating the generation of a "Do not touch patient. Analyzing rhythm." voice prompt, and analyzing the patient's cardiac rhythm. If processor 74 determines that the patient has a non-shockable cardiac rhythm that is not susceptible to treatment by defibrillation pulses (e.g., no pulse rather than a fibrillating rhythm), it initiates the generation of a "Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR." voice prompt. One minute after this voice prompt, processor 74 repeats the initiation of the "Do not touch patient. Analyzing rhythm." voice prompt and the associated cardiac rhythm analysis.
When a shockable cardiac rhythm is detected, processor 74 begins a first charge sequence by initiating the generation of a "Charging." voice prompt, and causes high voltage generation circuit 86 to operate in the charge mode. When high voltage generation circuit 86 is charged, processor 74 begins a first shock sequence by initiating the generation of a "Stand clear. Push flashing button to rescue." voice prompt, and the flashing illumination of rescue light 19. The operator actuation of rescue/resume switch 18 will then cause processor 74 to operate high voltage generation circuit 86 in the discharge mode, and results in the application of a defibrillation pulse to the patient to complete the first series of analyze/charge/shock sequences.
Following the first series of analyze/charge/shock sequences, processor 74 times out a short pause of about five seconds to allow the heart to reestablish its cardiac rhythm before beginning a second series of analyze/charge/shock sequences. The second series of analyze/charge/shock sequences is identical to the first series described above, except the energy content of the defibrillation pulse can be different. If the second series of analyze/charge/shock sequences ends with the delivery of a defibrillation pulse, processor 74 again times out a short pause of about five seconds before beginning a third analyze/charge/shock sequence. The third series is also identical to the first series, but processor 74 controls high voltage generation circuit 86 in such a manner as to cause the defibrillation pulse delivered upon the actuation of rescue/resume switch 18 to have a larger energy content.
Following the delivery of a defibrillation pulse at the end of the third series of analyze/charge/shock sequences, or after identifying a non-shockable cardiac rhythm, processor 74 initiates the generation of a "Check Pulse. If no pulse, give CPR." voice prompt. Processor 74 then times a one minute CPR period to complete a first set of three series of analyze/charge/shock sequences. Rescue mode operation then continues with additional sets of three series of analyze/charge/shock sequences of the type described above. Processor 74 ends rescue mode operation of AED 10 when a preset number of analyze/charge/shock sequences have been performed, or lid 28 is closed. The maximum number of shocks per rescue can be set to any value between 6 and 255.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cut away of AED 10 showing the underside of upper portion 14 of housing 12. As can be seen in FIG. 3, a water resistant material 27 is provided covering speaker port 24. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water resistant material is made from microporous polytetrafluoroethylene. A common brand of this material is Goretex� made by W. L. Gore and Associates. This material allows diffusion of air and water vapor but prevents liquid ingress. The material also transmits sound with insignificant distortion. It should be noted that other water resistant materials could also be used without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Another such material is fabric made from non-woven polyester fibers and treated to resist water. This material is commercially available from W. L. Gore & Associates (Model #GAWV-7).
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the cut away of FIG. 3 with speaker 30 mounted to the underside of speaker port 24. FIGS. 4 and 5 also illustrate a microphone 31 positioned adjacent to speaker 30 on a circuitboard 34. Not only does speaker 30 amplify sound, it also allows sound to pass through it with little distortion to reach microphone 31. Microphone 31 is provided to record sound in the vicinity of the rescue. The information recorded from the rescue scene can be used to analyze many aspects of patient resuscitation, including response procedures, response personnel training, response timing, treatment methods, and patient reaction. In AED 10, up to 20 minutes of sound may be recorded.
By placing microphone 31 on circuitboard 34 adjacent to speaker 30, the need for an additional hole in housing 12 is eliminated, thereby eliminating another potential liquid ingress point. This location provides good sound quality also because water resistant material 27 and speaker 30 allow sound to pass with insignificant distortion. Also, because microphone 31 is mounted directly to circuitboard 34, there is no need for an additional wiring harness. Direct mounting reduces material costs, avoids additional assembly steps, and makes the microphone more reliable since there are fewer moving parts subject to failure due to wear.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

NBA Summer League in Las Vegas: Day 1 Recap
The Samsung NBA Summer League in Las Vegas will put dozens of NBA D-League alums on display, from blossoming young NBA talents like Archie Goodwin and Nemanja Nedovic to the minor league's Top Prospects -- Lorenzo Brown, Seth Curry and Kevin Murphy, to name a few.
To sort through the nonstop hoops action that will take place at the 11-day event, NBADLeague.com will offer a daily look at the stars, images and highlights of #NBASummer 2014.
Here's what went down on Day 1 in Vegas:
The 23-year-old Serbian once again resembled the player who debuted with a machine-like 31 points on 9-for-12 shooting back in November, not the one whose jumper went awry as the season dragged on. Being back at 100 percent after dealing with injuries certainly helps. When Nedovic's jumper is falling and the game slows down for him, he looks like he could develop into another late-first-round gem.
The Knicks' offseason trade acquisition was the quickest player on the floor in leading them to a double-digit win over Dallas. He penetrated at will on the offensive end, notched four steals and most importantly turned it over just twice in 30 minutes.
On a Hornets team that couldn't break the ice over the net, McConnell showed command of the offense and aggressiveness in finding his own shot. The former St. Mary's standout is never flashy but is one of the more heady, reliable prospects the NBA D-League has.
On a day filled with nasty slams, NBA D-League highlight machine Ra'shad James unleashed some of his Dunk Contest material while warming up for the Sacramento Kings:
I think @REALRICKLEDO1 is going to have the biggest impact for the Mavs in Vegas! Vote #ledoSL14 here: http://t.co/DRtPsOs2lC Mark Cuban (@mcuban) July 12, 2014

At least Broner is going after the best lightweights. First DeMarco and now Burns.

Burns wants the fight but he already said he's not gonna do it in February. He said the earliest would be March, most likely April.
Hopefully more money can entice him to fight in Feb.

Megyn kelly on FOX just said that he has made explosive comments
er where, he said what the majority think.
Must be nice to live in la la land with all the elitists never really thinking what these people do to each other in order to get off and then say they should be treated as a normal couple.
I guarantee that many who say they have homosexual friends and they are nice would not say that when they see their so called friends doing it at a parade dressed in some perverted way in public.
As for the schools, well most in the country think it should not be in the schools.

B: Purely Refined: elegant, tailored, understated. True luxury doesn't shout its presence with glitz, glamour and bling. It whispers, revealing its pedigree through clean, classic lines, exquisite tailoring and handcrafted heirloom quality.
A. Gentle Medley: fresh, airy, innocent. Hard times call for soft colors.
C. Bold Invention: experimental, artsy, expressive. The city never sleeps. Neither do its colors. From a quick review of the answers posted yesterday, both the Sherwin Williams copywriters and the Apartment Therapy design minds are VERY good - lots of correct sequences posted. Did you guess 1D, 2B, 3A, 4C?

Talk of Christie's impeachment is ridiculous
The media buzz about the possibility of Governor Chris Christie being impeached is nothing more than click bait. It's not going to happen. The people writing that it could or should happen either know it won't happen, don't know what they are talking about or are trying to ensure that Christie has no political future.
The buzz got started when both the prosecution and the defense attorneys in the Bridgegate trial claimed that Christie knew that the George Washington Bridge lane closures in September of 2013 were political retribution against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich while the lanes were closed and not a part of a traffic study. Christie has already been convicted of that in the court of public opinion.Art Gallagher | Filed under: Chris Christie, New Jersey, Opinion | Tags: Bridgegate, Bridgegate trial, Chris Christie, Impeachment, New Jersey, Opinion | 6 Comments »

sera pH/KH-minus
Soft water – but safely
- Lowers pH and KH
- Adjusts the carbonate hardness
- Regulates the pH value
- For appropriate soft and slightly acidic water
Some fish species (e.g. discus and angelfish) are adapted to very soft water and require these conditions in particular for reproducing. However, the water can provide too high carbonate hardness (KH), or the pH may have risen too strongly due to natural metabolism processes, also when keeping other fish species. In these cases, sera pH/KH-minus provides reliable and quick support. The pH value and the KH are immediately and precisely lowered and regulated. This creates appropriate keeping conditions that considerably contribute to the vitality and the fish doing well.
Tip: Adjust the KH to 4°dKH with sera pH/KH-minus and subsequently place sera super peat in the filter for permanently maintaining tropical softwater conditions.

Angelo and Maxie's Steakhouse
Just when it looked as if all the really good meal deals were happening in Miami-Dade County, Angelo and Maxie's Steakhouse (CityPlace, 651 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach, 561-833-6550) weighs in on the subject. A new prix fixe menu offers three courses, starting with soup or caesar salad and ending with cheesecake or ice cream for $20.99. The price is especially reasonable if you consider that entrées include the choice of an eight-ounce filet mignon, an eleven-ounce New York strip, or a two-pound chicken breast. Of course, there's a catch, and that's not referring to catch of the day. The $20.99 deal is good only on weekdays from noon till 3 p.m. or during early-bird suppertime from 5 till 6:30 p.m. But while the latter time may sound inconvenient, it's also a plus: Two pounds of poultry sure beats two hours of sitting in rush-hour traffic.

A communal partnership in support of young adults with moderate learning difficulties has been formally opened in Edgware.
Previously known as the Quadrant, Maccabi House is the latest Langdon educational and social project in north London and Manchester.
A recruitment consultant whose father died suddenly from cancer last year has put money into a counselling group helping young Jews to deal with the loss of a parent.
Assisting those aged 18-to-30, Aftershock recently held its first gathering and will meet monthly at Jewish Care's Martin B Cohen Centre in Edgware.
To help meet the shortfall on its £5 million rebuilding project, Edgware's Beit Shvidler Primary School attracted 435 supporters to a fundraising dinner in London's West End on Monday night. They heard London mayor Boris Johnson thank the school's leadership for improving education in the capital and cite the recent protest in the grounds of St Paul's cathedral:
Pupils of Beit Shvidler Primary School (formerly Edgware Jewish Primary) saw their modern premises for the first time on Monday following a £5 million rebuilding project.
The renaming is in recognition of the generosity of Eugene Shvidler, a Russian oil billionaire who is a close associate of Roman Abramovich.
Governors' chair Eddy Breuer-Weil observed that "Beit Shvidler is a part of the J
Ken Livingstone was among the speakers at what is thought to be the largest fundraising event staged by the Stamford Hill community.
Seven-hundred guests at a central London dinner raised £500,000-plus for the Side by Side integrated nursery and special needs school.
A gang, shouting "we will kill all you Jews", smashed the windows of a Jewish estate agents in Edgware, witnesses claim.
They say that three burly men entered the Melvin Jacobs agency in Manor Park Crescent around Tuesday lunch-time, being joined shortly afterwards by a teenager and a woman. The antisemitic threats were directed at three staff members.
Kedassia, the kashrut arm of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, is to cut the cost of poultry by 50p a kilo in the four weeks before Pesach.
"We want to relieve the heavy financial burden on families," said UOHC executive co-ordinator Chanoch Kesselman. "The bills run up as families buy in more.
A gang has attacked the premises of a Jewish estate agent, shouting antisemitic obscenities and smashing windows of the Edgware business, witnesses reported.
Police have arrested one member of the gang, who are alleged to have shouted "we will kill all you Jews" at staff of the estate agent Melvin Jacobs, on Manor Park Crescent, around lunchtime today .
Manchester-born Yossi Schwarz is to take up the post of chazan at Edgware Synagogue.
Mr Schwarz studied for two years at yeshiva in Israel and now lives in Edgware with his wife Miri and three children.

To the Editor.—
In a recent letter, Kumar (239:25, 1978) noted nausea and vomiting 24 to 48 hours after the abrupt withdrawal of thioridazine therapy. Nausea and vomiting are among the most common of the phenothiazine withdrawal symptoms and may especially be a problem for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcers. Although these symptoms can occur after abrupt withdrawal of therapy with perhaps any closely related agent, it appears that neuroleptics with more autonomic-type effects are most strongly implicated.1 Also, the symptoms may be aggravated if therapy with antiparkinsonian agents is concomitantly and abruptly withdrawn.It is a likely time that these effects are noted in the appropriate manufacturers' literature; this is currently being done for at least Thorazine, a trademark of chlorpromazine.

One by one it seems, journalists and political figures are discovering to their shock and horror the intellectual backdrop of America 's invasion of Iraq. Neoconservatism, as it calls itself, still finds its most poignant articulation at the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a behind-the-scenes think tank that has been affiliated with Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and at least a dozen other administration figures. Reading through the materials on their site paints an ugly picture of an invasion planned for almost purely strategic purposes, rationalized by a dubiously sincere belief that Iraqis would welcome the US with open arms.
When one first comprehends that serious American imperialism might not be nearly as abstract or fantastic as it might have seemed, many things begin to fall into place. Securing Iraq 's oil, forcing open Iraq 's markets, and establishing a military stronghold in the Middle East seem much more tenable as motivations for the severe risks that the US administration has run for its own reelection (the 2004 election is of course the only real check on the administration 's power). Looking back on the run-up to war through the neoconservative lens, it also becomes clear that what was portrayed as bungling diplomacy was in fact a rather carefully enacted sabotage of negotiations by figures such as Rumsfeld (who helped marginalize the opinions of opponents with phrases like "Old Europe "), Cheney (who favored bypassing the UN altogether), and Perle (who wrote an op-ed afterwards entitled "Thank God for the Death of the UN "). George W. Bush 's blustering arrogance (including the constant reiteration of the irrelevance of the UN 's judgment) was undoubtedly projected at the suggestion of these same advisors. After all, if there had been a strong coalition on par with the first Gulf War, Halliburton would not have gotten a no-bid contract to put its tentacles in Iraq 's oil, establishing a long-term military presence would have been considerably more difficult if not impossible, and in general the emptying of the US treasury into the enormous corporate pockets with which the neocons are inextricably entwined would have been prevented. These motivations have since been exposed for all to see by the administration 's stubborn refusal to share authority in Iraq despite obvious and massive costs in both dollars and American lives.
The most staggering single fact for most journalists though is the overwhelming evidence that the invasion of Iraq was planned long before 9/11, the ostensible catalyst given to the American public and the world by the US administration. And indeed, as Robert Dreyfuss convincingly demonstrated some time ago, the plans for military domination of the Middle East have their origins in the era of the OPEC embargo of the early 1970 's and come from the Kissinger clique, quite possibly from Kissinger himself. But to say that 9/11 was nothing more than a smokescreen for a plan that had nothing to do with those events is a dramatic mistake. Imagining what 9/11 must have meant to a neoconservative ideologue believing in US power as the measure of all things reveals that the invasion of Iraq, including the risk of the presidency itself, was at least in part motivated by a potentially very real threat- just not from Iraq.
While distinctions are made by political scientists, the neoconservatives are essentially political realists, believing not only that power politics dictate international relations, but that as lone superpower, America has a vested interest in keeping it so. 9/11 was a piercing blow to this paradigm, which is premised on the assumption that whomever has the most powerful military will always win. The "New American Century " as conceived by the neocons rested solidly on the preposition that America would be able to dictate terms to the rest of the world without fear of repercussions, since no army would dare stand up to US military might. Terrorism on the scale of 9/11 bursts this bubble, because it threatens to deal blows that far exceed what American voters might regard as acceptable, and therefore might serve as a successful deterrent to the uninhibited expression of American power. This realization serves as a far greater motivation than any other to establish a military stronghold in the Middle East, and to invoke Sharon 's madman theory of deterrence (making one 's enemies believe that there is no limit to what one will do).
But the most striking aspect of the 9/11 attacks was successfully ignored and downplayed in what has evolved into perhaps the most comprehensive cover up in US history, namely that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. While this fact is well known, hardly anybody has granted it the momentous importance it deserves. For the neoconservatives, though, it must have been a wake up call of epic proportions. The ragtag, troublesome network of undemocratic regimes in the Middle East, which the US had supported for decades as the surest way to create a stable environment for oil exportation and exploitation, had finally begun to crumble as a reliable system. Saudi Arabia, by far the most important player, had spawned a massive attack on the US, and there seemed to be very little the US could do to prevent further attacks in the future.
To understand the bind in which the administration found itself, it is necessary to understand how perilous the rule of the House of Saud has become. The well-documented payoffs from the Saudi royal family to fundamentalist, terrorist-inclined groups reflect not so much a subversive aggression towards the US as they do a desperate clinging to power. In Saudi Arabia, where Wahabi fundamentalism thrives in numbers and intensity not found anywhere else in the world, religious figures already hold at least as much power as the state itself. The pay-offs have been nothing more than attempts to keep a full-scale revolution at bay. Robert Baer, an ex-CIA analyst in the Middle East, argues in his recently released book Sleeping with the Devil, that the Saudi royal family is doomed within a decade, and probably before. With the pincers closing in of escalating fundamentalism on the one hand, and the lingering threat of US pressure to crack down on the other, Baer 's claim is not difficult to believe.
The implications of the fall of the House of Saud cannot be overstated. Whether it is a result of revolution or democratic reform, something approaching 35% of the world 's oil would fall directly into the hands of America 's declared enemies. Polls indicate that favorable views of the United States hover between two and three percent amongst Saudi citizens, and the ascent of a staunch anti-Western, anti-American fundamentalist would be a virtual certainty.
Baer further argues that explosions at only a few central points in the Saudi oil infrastructure could cause a shortage "roughly equal to what all of the OPEC partners were able to effect during their 1973 embargo ". Such a threat would arguably have the deterrent power of a nuclear bomb, particularly for an administration holding and representing energy and corporate interests. If Saudi oil fell into Wahabi hands, it would bring a prompt end to the current US policy of domination without concession, and would place fundamentalists at the helm of what would arguably be a considerable world power (the current regime has lost much of its power due to a crippling and corrput addiction to US petro-dollars). The fact that the oil could be held hostage also means that for the US to wait until the Saudi royals fall would be too late; if ever they conceived of a threat necessitating preemption, this is the one.
And although the administration has done a sensational job of keeping Saudi Arabia out of the public consciousness, there have been a handful of crucial leaks. The 28 redacted pages regarding Saudi Arabia in the recent 9/11 report have gathered the most media attention, but they constitute only one of several damning pieces of evidence. Documents recently dragged out of Cheney 's office regarding his (pre-9/11) energy task force, following a suit by the conservative group Judicial Watch, include maps of not only Iraqi oil fields, but Saudi fields as well.
Most disturbing though, was a private Defense Policy Board briefing given by Laurent Murawiec of RAND Corporation at the request of Richard Perle. According to the Washington Post (August 6, 2002), the briefing "recommended that U.S. officials give [Saudi Arabia] an ultimatum to stop backing terrorism or face seizure of its oil fields and its financial assets invested in the United States ". Murawiec described Saudi Arabia as "the kernel of evil, the prime mover, the most dangerous opponent " in the Middle East.
"I think it is a mistake to consider Saudi Arabia a friendly country, " added Kenneth Adelman, a steady neocon and former aide to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. The briefing was also held around the same time that The Weekly Standard, financed by Rupert Murdoch and edited by William Kristol (chairman of PNAC), published a piece entitled "The Coming Saudi Showdown."
There is good reason to believe that the idea of military action against Saudi Arabia is so grand and risky that even the neocons would go knock-kneed at the prospect. The perilous state of Iraq at the moment would serve only as a microcosm of the disaster waiting should the US military attempt to occupy Saudi Arabia. But the administration 's bogus line about Iraq, that "the risks of action are less than the risks of inaction " may actually apply to Saudi Arabia. It is debatable to what degree various members of the administration actually believe that the Iraq project will eventually turn the entire Middle East into loyal followers of the United States, but there is absolutely no certainty that even if that does happen, it will happen before the fall of the Saudi royals. And while the occupation of the entire country might be impossible, some may believe that occupation limited to the oil fields could be fortified well enough to survive.
For now, though, it is clear that the administration will go to great lengths to keep the royals in power. The embarrassment of the redacted pages was a significant political hit for an administration that former speechwriter David Frum described as "dominated by the political wing ". But an even greater sign of the centrality of Saudi Arabia to the administration 's thinking came when Paul Wolfowitz admitted that amongst many reasons for invading Iraq, removing troops from Saudi territory (and thereby easing Islamist tensions) was "a big one ". It is also noteworthy that only months earlier, some in the Saudi royal family had proposed instituting democratic reforms in exchange for this exact concession, but in the end, the US apparently declined and gave them their wish free of charge. This should give pause to those who insist that the neocons ' only real secret is that they want to spread democracy in the Middle East. In any case, propping up the corrupt House of Saud has played no small part in incurring the hatred of Saudi citizens, and even this temporary relief brings confrontation closer.
With all of this in mind, one gets a vivid picture of the neocon perspective on 9/11. Here was an attack by a well-funded, powerful terrorist group with fertile ground for recruitment and operation not only in Afghanistan, but throughout the Middle East and especially in Saudi Arabia. And as much as one might want to crack down on the Saudi royal family, to do so would put their rule in peril, with only fundamentalists waiting to take the reins. The Bush administration includes 41 members with ties to big oil, which indicates if nothing else that oil is a top political priority, and that they are well aware that oil is America 's Achilles heel. And so now America 's two greatest percieved threats lay in the same region, and to be honest, the same country. The administration was faced with two basic choices: begin serious negotiations and make a serious attempt at winning over the "hearts and minds " of the Middle East, or begin a brutal policy of domination, invading Iraq to secure potentially 20% of the world 's oil in friendly hands dependent on US infrastructure, and establishing a fierce military presence in the heart of the region ready to deal with whatever problems might arise. The neoconservative ideology dictated that the administration choose the latter, which they may have well known was a collision course with Saudi Arabia. But as the bulk of the great American army remains bogged down in an occupation which is still too chaotic for Halliburton or anyone else to consider business there, the theoretical sophistry of the neocons is crumbling before their eyes. The only question remaining is whether it is too late to change paths.

Let's see if we'll get away with this. 150K newly employed, kind of cruddy, and nobody will remember the Bernank said in 2009, the uptick in jobs growth will auger people coming back to the work force who just gave up, so that overhang needs explaining, so, uh, hmmmmm--we had some tepid growth and sure enough the unemployment ticked up to 7.9--what do we do, what do we do. Can't revise the % of unemployed, I think we did that last time, or was it the job number?
I got an idea, I got an idea!!! to keep the party going, see, what we'll say is unemployment for Last couple months was SHY 130,000 bodies, yeah YEAH, we were wrong!! The economy is actually ticking upward with 200K job growth!
That will fool the market, that will fool industry into thinking somebody is hiring to get a jump on the recovery, and may actually make a few businesses "catch up" with the newly employed who are potential customers!!! YEAH! YEAH!! We save the stock market and fool the rest of industry into thinking they are months BEHIND hiring, so let's see if they spring for some new jobs next time.
After all, it's a virtual world out there, and money is made out of paper.
They'll believe anything out there.

The New START nukes treaty is at a critical make it or break it moment. The administration and Majority Leader Reid are determined to ratify this important disarmament agreement. Senator Reid is going to make the vote happen. Will the right number of Senators acknowledge their responsibilities to keep this country safer and vote for the treaty?
Senator Kyl (R-Ariz.) stated last Tuesday that he didn't think there was enough time for the Senate to consider New START in the post-election session. Many people reacted by concluding that this was the end of the road for New START. As the logic goes, Senator Kyl is key to unlocking the right number of Republican votes to make the treaty happen. But this gives too much credit to Senator Kyl and fails to recognize that many other Republicans have yet to state their views on the treaty. It presumes that Republican Senators are willing to vote against national security in order to follow the Party's lead.
Senator Kyl's statement has triggered the biggest foreign policy battle between the administration and the Republican Party yet. It's not clear that Senator Kyl knew what he was getting into when he irked the administration by turning up his nose at months of negotiations around higher funding levels modernization efforts. The administration went to great lengths -- a total of 29 meetings and phone calls -- to make Senator Kyl an offer of billions more. Pushing back against Senator Kyl, the administration is publicly committed to moving full speed ahead on getting New START ratified. President Obama has made multiple public statements insisting that the treaty will be wrapped up before the end of the year. Vice President Biden convened a formidable group of the most respected foreign policy experts from both sides of the aisle to bring the issue greater profile.
The international profile of the issue has risen dramatically. Several EU foreign ministers have voluntarily taken on the issue, with one minister remarking,
"I'm also the chairman of the Conservative Party in Denmark, which is the sister party of the Republican Party," she said. "So nobody will ever accuse me of being soft on security."
This is all above and beyond the support of the U.S. military leadership and the 20 hearings and hundreds of statements, letters, editorials, and articles outlining how ratifying New START is critical to U.S. national security.
That this outreach to Senator Kyl fell short proves one thing: He's more concerned about obstructing an Obama victory than protecting U.S. national security interests. There is a low likelihood that next year's Congress will say yes to both the treaty and the funds for the nuclear weapons complex and modernization. New START's biggest Republican supporter, Senator Lugar (R-IN), reacted loudly against his own party, by saying that "We're unlikely to have the treaty or modernization unless we get real." Getting real is voting for the treaty before the year's end.
Senator Kyl has misjudged the gravity of not passing the treaty out of the Senate this year. It is the cornerstone of the "reset" with Russia that the administration is pursuing. The symbolic importance of the treaty can't be underestimated, and the political implications of New START in Russia are huge.
President Medvedev has already paid some internal political costs for cooperating with the U.S. on urging Iran to scale back its nuclear weapons ambitions. He's been Russia's champion of this treaty, and rejecting it will make it harder to operate the war in Afghanistan, which requires a high degree of Russian cooperation. Most importantly, failing to ratify the treaty will make U.S. dealings with the Iranian nuclear situation increasingly difficult and dangerous. Damage to either of these important foreign policy areas is not desirable for either party.
Traditionally the two parties converge around issues that are essential to our national security. When a critical mass of national security advisers from both parties say to do something, Congress should embrace it and make it happen. But emboldened Republicans like Senator Kyl are willing to say that national security can wait. He is willing to buck the opinion of the U.S. military leadership, leaving a gap that has never really existed before between Republicans and military leaders. Senator Kyl and others are in effect holding national security hostage to political games that follow rules laid out by Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY), whose main stated goal over the next two years is to prevent President Obama re-election by striking blows to his key initiatives.
Majority Leader Reid must now continue on the path to ratification. Let those who vote against our nation's and the world's security pay the consequences. The hearings have been held. Policy experts have weighed in. The time to vote is now.
