http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=212048


NO misprint.

NY and DC were already at Orange. Rest of Country is at Yellow. Been this way for many weeks.

I don't remember seeing this anywhere. This would shake things up a tad:

Israel-Arab business deal

Israeli millionaire to purchase 50% of Al-Jazeera shares

Israeli businessman Haim Shiban intends to acquire 50% of shares of Qatar-based satellite TV channel Al-Jazeera. The channel has gained reputation after the September 11 attack in the US; it has become one of the world's leading channels providing coverage of the latest news of the Arab world. The information has been reported Saturday by a Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustakbal with reference to Israeli sources.

According to the Lebanese newspaper, for the last several months, the Israeli businessman has been having talks with the channel's owner Sheikh Khamad ben Khalifa al Tani regarding this matter.

The offer has first been made to emir about six months ago during his visit to Qatar along with American ex-president Bill Clinton. The newspaper reports that emir took the offer seriously. Both men began negotiating. However, their talks ended after emir decided to audit the channel.

According to the newspaper, Shiban has purchased a portion of American company Fox for $1.5 billion USD. In addition, last year he's become a shareholder of a German company Bru Sat 1 for 225 million Euro. He also owns 23% of shares of second Israel's channel, reports RIA "Novosti".

I missed the part where they referred to the specific regions under orange alert. I thought they were saying the nation was under orange alert.

In my humble opinion ... US need to go on orange until after the election.

I heard an AP report on the radio that said DHS was going to leave the level at Orange for the nation. So somewhere they got their colors wrong.

The only color change I am hoping for is enough red states to counter Kerry's blue states and keeping GWB in the Whitehouse.
