O.C. Register to buy Riverside Press-Enterprise
Wolf, who was Miss California Teen USA before winning the Miss Teen USA pageant in August at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas, said in media interviews that she received an anonymous email from someone claiming to have nude photos of her taken via the webcam on her computer. Wolf also said the email's author tried to extort her to ensure that the photos were not made public. According to the affidavit, which does not name the victims, the FBI has been investigating Abrahams since March, when authorities learned he allegedly compromised victims computers to obtain nude photographs -- and in some cases, videos --- of the victims by remotely operating the victims web-enabled cameras. He would then allegedly contact the victims using two AOL accounts he had taken over and send the victims nude photos to show what he had obtained. Abrahams, investigators allege, threatened to disclose the images and videos unless they did one of three things: send nude photos, send a nude video, or log onto Skype and did what he said for five minutes. In one instance, a special agent alleges Abrahams threatened to transform one victim's dream of being a model ... into [the victim being] a porn star if the victim did not comply with his demands. FBI agents raided Abrahams' Temecula Attorney home in June and seized computers and hardware, cellphones and hacking software, court records show. The incident is the latest in a string of "sextortion" cases involving individuals who have used email accounts, social media or a computer's own hardware to glean compromising information or images of its user.

Temecula approves mosque after contentious 8-hour hearing
Kushner has expressed interest in acquiring The Times from Tribune. The Press-Enterprise deal comes at a difficult time for the newspaper, which has reduced staff and coverage amid an industry-wide downturn in advertising. The paper's revenue fell 17% during the first six months of this year, A.H. Belo said in a regulatory filing. Mel Opotowsky, who retired as the Press-Enterprise's managing editor in 1999 and lives in Riverside, was among those who welcomed the sale. "At least it portends that the trend will change, the cutbacks will slow down or stop, and the coverage will increase," he said. "And one can hope that it will stick." Opotowsky, 82, said it has been "very painful" to watch the newspaper at which he worked for 26 years shrink coverage amid the advertising slump. Palm Springs resident Rick Purnell, who owns a public relations firm, said he hopes Kushner devotes resources to the Press-Enterprise the same way he has at the Register.

At Wilson Creek, the winery, restaurant, wedding and concert venue credited with popularizing the stuff, it sells so well that at least a half-dozen other valley wineries have developed their own versions. But Wilson Creek supplies only a tiny fraction of the fruit used for its cuvee. In fact Wilson Creek doesn't even make the wine; it's made in Lodi, 450 miles away. To most of the 500,000 or so annual winery visitors, none of this matters. Rather than a wine destination, the Temecula Attorney Valley has become something of a wine playground, where play wines upstage real wines, where "wine country" is a carefully cultivated affair that has less to do with what vineyards produce than with how they look all in the service of a tourist trade run slightly amok. On any given weekend, stretch limos and party vans stream down Rancho California Road filled with partygoers. Cruise ship patrons, on dry land for a few days in San Diego, are carted in by the busload.

Bella Notte: A beautiful night at Europa Village Winery (Photos)
The Il Contorno course featured a Triple A salad of apple, almonds and arugula, accented by sea salt and roasted fig with ricotta. We enjoyed this course with Europas light but flavorful Vienza 2012 Vermentino, which was crispy with nice minerality. The Il Secondo course featured rich and delicious pork and spinach cannelloni served with a fennel sauce, pesto ricotta, roasted zucchini and baby heirloom tomatoes. The accompanying clear red Vienza 2011 Barbera perfectly complemented this course with bold tastes of cherries, strawberries, nutmeg and vanilla. The finale of the evening was the Il Dolce course, a delectable apricot and thyme semifreddo, a frozen mousse-like dessert served with preserved balsamic rhubarb that had been simmered in Europa wine (of course). We learned from Stefano that when you pair a wine with a dessert it should be at least as sweet as the dessert and this was the case with the newly released Vienza 2012 Vanita, a blend of Muscat, Canelli, Viognier, and Vermentino, which enhanced the dessert with its sweet floral notes. These dinners are particularly special because of the talented singers from Temecula Attorneys Fine Arts Ballet Theatre, founded by Bev Stephenson, who with her husband, Dan, is a founder of Europa Village Winery. This evenings singers were John Campbell, Katie Pavao and Josh Pudleiner.

10 Reasons to Fly South for the Winter to Temecula Attorney Valley Southern California Wine Country
The vote came at 3:34 a.m. after the council sat patiently into the wee morning hours listening to testimony from residents, largely a replay of the months of debate over the mosque. More than 110 people signed up to testify, though some drifted away after sitting through six hours of speakers. This was a democratic republic at its best," said Councilwoman Maryann Edwards. Plans by the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley to build a 24,943-square-foot mosque on a vacant 4-acre plot in northeastern Temecula Attorney, next to a Baptist church, have been attacked by opponents who have said the mosque will attract Islamic extremists and overwhelm the neighborhood with traffic congestion and noise. The citys Planning Commission unanimously approved the project in early December, and opponents appealed that ruling to the City Council, which held a packed public hearing on the project starting about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night. This is a great day for all of Temecula Attorney, really," said Imam Mohamoud Harmoush of the Islamic Center. Now I think we must again devote ourselves to reaching out to the community." Dozens of residents, and speakers from as far away as Los Angeles and Hesperia, voiced their opposition to the center.
