Egypt pulls TV ads warning foreigners may be spies

CAIRO (AP) ? An Egyptian media official says authorities have pulled TV advertisements that warned against talking to foreigners who may be spies after criticism that they fueled xenophobia.

The official said Sunday that the ads were aired on state TV and private networks for a few days before Minister of Information Ahmed Anis ordered them off the air and asked "media experts" to examine the content to decide whether to ban them. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Buying Cabins and Remote Land in Alaska - RealEstate.com

Whether purchasing property to use as your primary residence, a vacation home or investment property, Alaska real estate has much to offer. From its vast and unaltered landscape to its quaint villages and sea ports, Alaska is a nature lover?s paradise. What?s more, it?s a buyer?s market, and those looking at Alaska land and cabins for sale can expect to negotiate a fair purchase price.

If you?re considering buying cabins or remote property in Alaska, here are a few things to consider:

alaska land and cabins for saleChoosing a Property to Buy

The first step in your property search is to determine which property type will fit your needs. Are you looking for undeveloped land or a property with a cabin or other existing structure? Will the property be a primary residence, a second home or an investment? If it?s a vacation home, how far are you willing to travel to access it? Would you prefer a remote Alaska property or something closer to town?

Identifying your wish list and being as specific as possible with your real estate agent will help him or her to match properties that best suit your needs.

Viewing Remote Land in Alaska

After you?ve settled on the type of property you?re looking for, your real estate agent will arrange a viewing of property listings that match your wish list. When it comes to viewing remote Alaska properties, you can never be too prepared. Debra Leisek of Broker Bay Realty offers buyers the following advice when viewing remote property for sale in Alaska:

  • Get the right help. Choose a real estate agent who knows the area and property, including any seasonal restrictions for accessing the property.
  • Map the location. Arial and other maps, compass, and knowledge of the location are all important to have on hand when looking at a remote property.
  • Have a travel plan. Make smart choices in how you are going to see the property. Make sure vehicles can handle the terrain and are in proper working order with enough fuel to get there and get back.
  • Be prepared. Check ahead for weather factors and possible problems. Wear proper clothing and bring seasonal survival gear, food, water and first aid.
  • Watch for wildlife. Know what to do in case you come across a bear or moose on the property, and make sure the agent or home seller is prepared to handle this kind of situation.

Loan Considerations & Owner Financing

Another consideration when buying remote property in Alaska is which type of financing you are eligible for. If purchasing undeveloped land, you may find that your loan options are more limited than if you were buying an existing structure. Mortgage lenders often shy away from offering full financing for undeveloped land or unfinished cabins as there is no collateral and greater risk to the lender. In these cases, you may find you need a larger down payment or settle for a higher interest rate on your loan. You could also look for a remote property for sale with owner financing. While owner financing is less common than using a traditional bank loan, it could be an attractive option for both buyers and sellers in some cases.

Whichever property or loan type you choose, the right amount of research and preparation can make buying a remote property or cabin in Alaska an enjoyable experience and a rare opportunity to enjoy the best that nature has to offer.

Rose Parade hits patriotic notes

The official calendar might not agree, but summer has arrived in Roselle.

Residents spent the weekend welcoming the season during the Roselle Lions Club Rose Fest, which is considered the community?s summer kickoff event. The event concluded Sunday with the 53rd annual Rose Parade.

The parade, a joint effort by the village and the Roselle Chamber of Commerce and Industry, marched down Roselle Road under sunny skies Sunday. The event had a patriotic theme this year. Members of local American Legion Post 1084 led things off, eliciting enthusiastic applause from the crowd. The chamber?s float was a red, white and blue tribute to those who?ve served our country in the armed forces.

The parade contained other elements, as well ? the traditional fleet of police and fire vehicles; a visit from the village?s founder, Rosell Hough (who spells his name without an ?e? on the end); the haunting sounds of the bagpipers from the Chicago Highlanders; and, of course, an appearance by 2012 Rose Queen Katie Ruby and her court.

The grand marshal of Sunday?s parade was Kristen Langner, the chamber?s 2011 Business Person of the Year. Langner, an optometrist, owns Langner Eye Care in town.

Families started setting up camp along Roselle Road well before the parade?s 2 p.m. start time, all so children would have excellent position to scoop up the many handfuls of candy thrown their way.

?The kids love it,? said resident Kevin Nowicki, who brought his two daughters, ages 6 and 8, to the parade. ?They like the floats and everything, but I think the candy is the main attraction.?

Maureen Anderson said she likes the small-town feeling that the Rose Parade creates.

?It?s kind of a throwback, in a lot of ways,? she said. ?We?re all busy with our very modern lives, but then we set aside time to have a community parade together. I like that.?

Rose Fest got under way Thursday, and it featured a carnival, live music, food vendors and games.

As always, the Lions Club plans to put the proceeds from the event toward the group?s charitable work.

TOM LASORDA - Automotive News


Automotive News -- June 3, 2012 - 12:01 am ET
CEO, Fisker Automotive Inc.

CEO, Fisker Automotive Inc.

Chosen because: Just a few weeks after Tom LaSorda took over as CEO of Fisker in February, the maker of plug-in hybrids hit a rough patch when a Karma driven by Consumer Reports stopped working. LaSorda, 57, issued an open letter reassuring customers he was taking care of the problem.

Taking care of problems is a LaSorda specialty. As co-president of Chrysler in 2009, he helped arrange for Fiat to buy the troubled automaker. LaSorda also helped find private funding for Fisker after the U.S. Department of Energy blocked funds from a government loan because of missed production milestones. LaSorda's manufacturing background could come in handy if Fisker needs to look for a plant -- some of the the DOE loan money was going to be used to refurbish a former General Motors plant in Delaware.

Quote: "We're going to build the car. We're going to launch it with or without the DOE funding."

Martin Solveig's Movie Awards Set 'Full Of Surprises'

UNIVERSAL CITY, California — DJ Martin Solveig is bringing the party to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards. Solveig will serve as the house DJ for the awards show, putting his own spin on the big event.

MTV News caught up with Solveig after his rehearsals at the home to the Movie Awards, the Gibson Amphitheatre, and he told us DJing this event is much different than any other performance he has ever done.

"It's very fun, very different," Solveig said. "I like new things, and this is a new thing."

And Solveig is definitely bringing a new thing to the awards show: The French DJ has decided to remix theme songs from some of the most iconic films of all time. "The idea basically of doing something a little bit extra specific for the Movie Awards and for the movie atmosphere of the ceremony, so I've remixed some movie scores," Solveig said. "Done some sort of remixes that will be good for everyone, for the party, for the show."

Some of those iconic theme songs include "Jaws," "Star Wars" and "Superman," movie scores Solveig thought would be easily recognizable to the audience.

"We had to choose things that we were sure that within five seconds you would immediately know what movie it's related to, because it's TV; it has to be fast," Solveig said. "So we went for very obvious movie scores, but then it's also a little bit of fun and we were lucky that the studios let us do that, because it's touching the grail, like big pieces of music, so we were really lucky they accepted that I mess a little bit with that music."

In addition to being a producer and DJ, Solveig has become well-known for his fun and quirky music videos, so will he bring any of that to the big show?

"We've worked on the all-new set of visuals just for the show," Solveig admitted. "It's full of surprises; you have to see the show."

Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to cast your vote for Best Hero and Best Movie now! The "Movie Awards Punk'd Pre-Party" starts at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards live tonight at 9 p.m. ET!
