Authorities are treating the two-week-old disappearance of a Palmyra woman as a possible abduction, abc27 News has learned.
According to the first page of a search warrant issued in the case last week, "kidnapping" and "unlawful restraint" are the violations under which investigators looked through Kortne Stouffer's apartment and car.
The remainder of the search warrant has been sealed.
Lebanon County District Attorney Dave Arnold told abc27 News the case is being investigated as a kidnapping due to the "suspicious" circumstances surrounding the case.
"Without getting into the details of it, I think it's fair to say we
still view it as being suspicious and we're investigating this case as
if a crime has occurred, even though we don't know for sure yet
exactly what happened," Arnold said.
Investigators are tight-lipped about any progress in the case and what, if anything, they found during the search.
"I prefer not to get into details, publicly," Arnold said. "I don't think that's beneficial to any investigation."
But authorities said they're pulling out all the stops to bring Stouffer home.
"The FBI is aware of what's going on," Arnold said. "We'll see what that leads to, but they are definitely involved."
No one seems to know why someone would want to take Kortne.
"In this line of work, we don't try to speculate," Arnold said. "We try to work based off of facts."
"What motivates the mind of someone who thinks that way?" Stouffer's father, Scott Stouffer, said. "She's a
beautiful girl. She's very charismatic. She loves people to death. She's
very strong-willed. We seriously want her back, soon."
Stouffer was last seen at the apartment during the early hours of July 29. According to her parents, police investigated two disturbance calls just before the 21-year-old went missing.
Stouffer's parents told abc27 News last week that a friend stayed at the apartment after Stouffer and others returned from a night of dancing in Harrisburg.
Police had initially reported that the last person to see Stouffer was a neighbor, but her parents said she and a male friend came back to the apartment shortly after 3 a.m.
Neighbors called police twice that morning, according to Stouffer's parents. The first complaint was over Stouffer's dog. Police spoke with Stouffer and left, but returned later for a complaint of "banging and stomping." During the second visit, Stouffer's parents said the officers left after no one answered the door.
Stouffer's father says he spoke with the male friend, who claims he and Stouffer went to sleep and he awoke in the morning to find Stouffer gone; leaving behind her car keys, cell phone, and her shoes.
Her parents say they know the friend well and are on good terms. Their daughter has known the man for about two years and her mother and father are aware of no problems between the two.
Arnold said investigators have questioned the man, but declined comment when asked if there are
any suspects.
The Stouffers are offering a reward that is now more than $25,000.
There is also a fundraiser to raise more money for the reward. Tie-dyed
shirts, Kortne's favorite, will be sold for $10 each at the Winner's Circle in the Grantville Holiday Inn beginning Wednesday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Palmyra police at 838-8188.
3235 Hoffman Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110

QD Vision's Color IQ™ optics produce brilliant, vibrant color for LCD TVs, LCD monitors and mobile device displays. Employing a new class of nanomaterials called quantum dots, Color IQ™ delivers unparalleled color performance at a superior value. While most LCD TVs and displays offer color quality that meets only 60-70 percent of the NTSC standard, products using Color IQ™ optics can achieve 100 percent of the standard. The result – the most radiant reds, brilliant blues and gorgeous greens you will ever see. More>>
With Color IQ (Simulation)
QD Vision's Color IQ™ is an innovative semiconductor nanocrystal technology that precisely emits light to produce a far more natural and vivid viewing experience.
Without Color IQ (Simulation)
Prior to Color IQ™, LCD TV designs have had to sacrifice color quality typically only delivering 60-70% of the NTSC color standard. The result – duller images and less color.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- An annual Cincinnati music festival that has drawn performers including Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston turns 50 on Friday.
Macy's Music Festival began in 1962 as the Jazz Festival and was held at the county fairgrounds 10 miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati. Its first performers included Duke Ellington and Miles Davis.
This weekend's festival will be held at Paul Brown Stadium in downtown, and is expected to attract about 50,000 attendees altogether.
Event organizers say between 60 and 70 percent of visitors are coming from outside of Cincinnati, including mostly Detroit and Chicago.
Mayor Mark Mallory says he's proud the festival has lasted 50 years in the Queen City and urges residents to turn out, saying, "you don't have a 50th anniversary twice."

It's been ten years since Urbana attorney Erika Harold was Miss America and now she seeks to add another and more substantial title to her resume.
Harold has announced that she will seek the Republican nomination to the United States' Congress in Illinois' 13th District.
The 33-year old Harold is challenging incumbent Rodney Davis for the GOP nomination for Congress.
Harold previously sought the congressional nomination last year, when GOP County Chairmen chose Davis for the job.

Victoria will be debuting imminently using the name Lisa Marie Varon. Also returning for TV tomorrow are Shane Douglas and Raven as the two former world champions.
Kiyoshi vs. Amazing Red opens the show
Good opener won by Red with a standing shooting star. They didn't rush them and crowd was very hot for the match.
Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley & Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Jay Lethal & Consequences Creed & Eric Young
A million big moves and the crowd this time was big into it with "That was awesome" loud chants. Las few minutes of this match were great. Lethal pinned Bashir with a sunset flip when ref Andrew Thomas kicked Bashir's hands as he was holding the ropes. After the match, they teased the idea that Young wasn't happy that he didn't score the pin.
Taylor Wilde vs. Daffney managed by Abyss in a Monsters Brawl
Match was short. They traded weapons shots with Wilde winning with a Death Valley driver onto a garbage can lid. The post-match was really the story. Dr. Stevie opened up several bags of thumb tacks and ordered Abyss to put Wilde into the thumbs tacks. He was about to do it until Lauren ran in to stop him. Dr. Stevie attacked Abyss and Abyss was about to throw Wilde into the thumb tacks again, but Stevie threw down Lauren and threatened to hit her with his belt. This caused Abyss to go crazy and he choke slammed Dr. Stevie on the thumb tacks. It appeared Richards' back was opened up by the thumb tacks as he was bleeding under his shirt.
Suicide vs. Daniels for the X title
This was a weird one. The most entertaining this was Don West explaning that the match was a work and that in the end, it's planned for Suicide to lose to Daniels since Daniels is Suicide and put a stooge under the mask. West kept talking about how well they were working together. Then Sabin & Shelley came out and Shelley gave Suicide the codebreaker and Daniels won, and West talked about how he called it. But then Daniels watched the replay on the big screen and saw that Shelley had interfered so he refused the title and asked for five more minutes. Rudy Charles asked Suicide if he wouild give him five more minutes and he agreed. They traded big moves with time running out. They announced that Suicide retained the title. Crowd didn't seem to understand this. Don West then explained, since Daniels didn't win the title, that Suicide double-crossed Daniels. However, then Daniels and Suicide shook hands.
Angelina Love vs. Awesome Kong for the Knockouts title
Love mostly ran away and was looking to leave and lose via count out. Raisha Saeed blocked the aisle and Kong got her in. Love got the spray but Saeed tried to get it from her. Kong went to bodyblock Love, who moved, and she knocked Saeed off the apron. As ref Slick Johnson was distracted by Saeed taking the bump, Love sprayed Kong. Nothing from the spray came out to make it even funnier and Love won with a schoolgirl. After the match, Kong laid out Love with two implant busters.
Funniest thing earlier in the show was they showed Sting coming in and all the young guys were shaking his hand. Wasn't the whole reason Sting was in the Mafia was because all the young guys didn't respect him.
Kevin Nash vs. Samoa Joe
Joe won with the choke. Nash bled for him and actually put him over. Nash got rope breaks when Joe had the choke on him earlier in the match. After the match Joe laid out Nash with elbows and then beat up security as well. The last two matches weren't too good.
British Invasion vs. Beer Money in the tag team tournament finals.
Beer Money won the tournament in a very good match. Beer Money was by far the most over act on the show up to this point in time with their babyface turn. Doug Williams did a great job in making them look good and Brutus Magnus has improved a lot. Beer Money has a lot of trademark spots that were over big. They did what should be a finisher, but wasn't, which was Storm doing a Frankensteiner off the top on Magnus and then Roode followed with a frog splash. But Rob Terry pulled ref Earl Hebner out of the ring. Hebner kicked Terry out. Williams brought in one of the briefcases, but Roode took it from him before he could hit Storm. Finish saw Storm superkicking Williams and then Roode hit Williams with the briefcase and pinned him. Team 3-D went into the ring after with Beer Money and all four raised each others' hands.
A.J. Styles vs. Booker T for the Legends title in an I Quit match
Another real good match. The show is overachieving up to this point. One of Booker's best efforts since coming here. The finish saw Sharmell come out. Booker collided with Sharmell by accident and then Styles used a flying armbar. Booker refused to submit and then Jenna Morasca came out and threw in the towel for him. Booker and Sharmell were mad at her for doing so.
Mick Foley vs. Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett for the TNA title
Sting pinned Angle to win the match. However, since Foley wasn't pinned, he didn't lose the title. So it means Sting is the head of the Mafia. They did a ton of near falls and had a good match. At times they lost the crowd but everyone did their big moves time after time. Foley took a few suplexes on the floor. Sting took a piledriver on the ramp. Angle did a running dive over the announcers table onto Foley who was taking a breather in the middle of the match and announcing. The finishing sequence saw Sting suplex Foley on the floor while Jarrett gave Angle a stroke off the middle rope onto a chair in the ring. But Sting jumped in and pinned Angle, stealing the pin from Jarrett.
For those of you who are fans of multiple man main events, the title is up at Slammiversary in a seven-man King of the Mountain match.

KCU Avenges Loss
In the first home game of the season the Lady Knights lost to rival Cincinnati Christian University. The team knew that they were capable of playing better and beating CCU if they played to their potential. KCU played to their potential beating the Golden Eagles 3 sets to 2.
The fans definitely got what they paid for with the game tonight. All five sets were hard fought and close. The Lady Knights didn't have a most valuable player for the game because every player showed up, played hard and smart, when your entire team is clicking it is hard to lose.
Cincinnati took the first set 25-22. Kentucky Christian fought back and won the second and third sets 25-18 and 25-21. The fourth set was the closest set, with the two teams trading points to 23-23 but CCU was able to get the final two points to even up the game at two sets a piece. The Lady Knights came to win and proved it in the fifth set when they took the early lead and did not let go, winning 15-12.
Coach Dixon was happy with his team and the victory, "Very, very proud of the effort that we played with tonight. We came into a very hostile environment and played with a maturity that was beyond what our years. Had ample opportunity to give up when they made runs but did not give into it."
This weekend is another tough set of Mid-East region games when they host The Crown College Friday at 6pm and Johnson University at 1pm Saturday. Before the game on Friday evening Coach Dixon will be honoring former Lady Knight April Hershauer and her accomplishments on the court while at Kentucky Christian by retiring her jersey.

Gulf Coast Seafood Stew
Howard L. Puckett
Using minimum seasonings lets the fresh, light taste of the seafood shine. Jane praises fresh garlic. You can tell it's fresh if it does not have a growing green germ in the center. If you see the beginning of a sprout, pull it out and discard.
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted unbleached all-purpose flour*
- 1 1/2 cups sliced green onion
- 3 cups coarsely chopped celery
- 1 pound fresh or frozen okra, cut into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
- 2 1/2 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
- 5 cups chicken, fish, or vegetable stock, heated
- 1 3/4 pounds medium-size shrimp, peeled
- 1 (16-ounce) container fresh oysters
- 8 ounces fresh crabmeat, drained and picked
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Heat the oil in a large stainless-steel or enamel-coated pot over medium heat. Stir in toasted flour, blending well. Stir in green onions. (The flour will stick to the vegetables.) Continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until onions wilt. Add the celery, okra, tomatoes, and heated stock, stirring until well blended. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Stir in shrimp, oysters, and crabmeat. Cook 3 minutes or until shrimp turns pink and oysters begin to curl. Stir in the garlic. Let stand 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- *To make toasted flour, spread 3/4 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, or until flour is light beige (it will darken when mixed with fat). Cool; process in a blender or food processor to remove any lumps. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container until ready to use.

Performance-Monitoring Counters Library, for Intel/AMD Processors and Linux
This example introduces rabbit command-line option -mhz n Return to Main Menu
Command-Line Options -mhz n n million cycles/sec, default 800 (or as configured during installation)
Example 'rabbit -mhz 0' will make a runtime determination of the MHz rating for the current system; this takes about 5 seconds, and uses a list of known (and probable future) Intel processor speeds. For positive n, the case 'rabbit -mhz -n' will take the same action in about n seconds, while 'rabbit -mhz n' is accepted blindly.
Notes The correct MHz rating is required to translate processor cycles to seconds. The default value is reported by 'rabbit -I | grep mhz'. We assume you are not overclocking your system at some strange rate.

The population genetics of red squirrels in a fragmented habitat
Todd, Rebecca (2000) The population genetics of red squirrels in a fragmented habitat. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
The genetics of eight small red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris L. ) populations in northern Belgium is investigated by analysing variation in a section of the mitochondrial control region and five microsatellite loci. The full sequence of the mitochondrial control region in red squirrels is determined and is compared to that of other mammals. The isolation of microsatellite loci is also described.

"Global Transaction Banking is the fastest growing unit in Société Générale," says Christian Behaghel, head of GTB at Societe Generale. "It is a very stable business, and while we generate something like 6% of the total revenue of the bank, we are experiencing growth of our revenue of 10-15% a year." This compares, he says to some areas of retail banking that have 0-2% growth a year.

Since the launch of the Bank Payment Obligation (BPO), and the publication last year of the Uniform Rules for Bank Payment Obligation (URBPO) by the International Chamber of Commerce, adoption of the new instrument has been gradual—but across the industry there is increasing focus on how technology can be deployed in an area traditionally dominated by paper.

PassMark's technology employs user-selected watermarks to distinguish legitimate Web pages from phishing scams, plus back-end anti-fraud analytics that spot suspicious log-in attempts. RSA calls this multipronged effort "adaptive authentication," but it is more commonly known as "risk-based authentication."
"It's the concept of different types of authentication based on context," RSA's Young says. "Who are you? Where are you in the session? What's your typical account behavior?"
Among the factors that anti-fraud vendors consider are time of day, the IP address and kind of computer used, and geographic location. Although these measurements aren't foolproof, they're highly accurate in identifying most users, experts say.
"My wife always banks online at home," says Nico Popp, vice president of authentication services at VeriSign, which bought fraud detection company Snapcentric in February. "She's going to have a very stable cluster of behaviors: the same kind of browser, the same ISP, and she always banks on Saturday morning. It's a very clear pattern."
If Mrs. Popp tries to log in from Korea on a different machine with non-English-language settings, it should set off alarms, Popp says. On the other hand, Popp himself is more of a globetrotter; for his profile the geo-location information is less reliable. But he does always connect from the same laptop, so the device settings and session information is just as powerful, he says.
Proceed with confidence
The combination of fraud detection and risk-based authentication is powerful, Popp says, because it is invisible to users under normal circumstances but springs to life when the risk associated with user behavior increases, as in the case of money transfers or sudden account changes.
But risk-based authentication is no silver bullet for enterprises, notes Stu Vaeth, chief security officer of Diversinet, a supplier of token-based strong authentication solutions. Anti-fraud and risk-based authentication are great at weeding out phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks, he says, but they aren't as secure as traditional two-factor authentication.
RSA's Young concurs. "It's kind of like saying that alarm systems will make door locks go away," he says. "What this will do is allow millions of consumers or enterprise users who are not using credentials like SecurID to open up their protection options."
That kind of thinking represents a major shift in the authentication market. Whereas at one time merely granting permission was seen as the essence of authentication, today's solutions are moving instead toward an idea of "confidence," IBM's Blakley says.
"People think of authentication as something to do at the beginning of a session and never do again, but authentication is a confidence building thing — you have to have confidence in the identity of your transaction partner, and that confidence can erode over time," Blakley says. For example, getting through the identity check at the front gate of NSA headquarters in Fort George Meade, Md., doesn't necessarily give a visitor access to every room in the building, he adds.
At security vendor Cydelity, the idea is to monitor users' behavior after they're logged on and flag what's risky, according to CEO Bob Ciccone. "Enterprises have typically deployed layered defenses, but there's not a layer where they're watching what users do once they're in," he says.

O Pioneers!
Nick Pinkerton on The Big Trail
"Westward Ho" is branded on the American consciousness, and every generation gets its own account of the opening of the frontier as filtered through the era's pop-culture. For some it's a dog-eared copy of Allan W. Eckert's The Frontiersman or a childhood coonskin cap like Fess Parker's TV incarnation of Davy Crockett. For my contemporaries, the associations are purely pixelated, tied to playing wagon master in Oregon Trail for Apple IIe: "Should we ford the river?" and "So-and-so has dysentery" and all of that en route to the Willamette Valley. None of this, however, has quite the heft and authority of 1930's The Big Trail.
Studio head William Fox bet the farm on The Big Trail. It was one of only a handful of features shot on 70mm Grandeur film, a.k.a. Fox Grandeur, an early widescreen process which had only been in use for about a year when director Raoul Walsh began rolling on The Big Trail, a production intended to far outstrip anything that had come before. In order to show films in Fox Grandeur, theater owners, who were still smarting from the cost of sound-on-film conversion, would now need to pony up for an entirely new projection system—thus far only Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles and the Roxy in New York City were so equipped. The idea with The Big Trail was to give audiences an incontrovertibly next-level spectacle, something that would dwarf previous Western epics like John Ford's transcontinental railroad tale The Iron Horse (1924) or James Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923), so that the popular pressure for exhibitors to upgrade would be overwhelming.
Walsh, who would average around three films a year through the decade to come, was tied up all through 1930 bringing The Big Trail home. Shooting began in April and finished in August, a four-month-long production which racked up a then astronomical $2.5 million tab. Here is the film historian Michael Henry Wilson, from a supplement on The Big Trail's DVD release, summarizing what that money bought: "There were 20,000 extras involved, 1,800 heads of cattle, 1,400 horses, 500 buffalo, 725 Indians belonging to five tribes—Cheyenne, Crow, Shoshone, Blackfeet and Arapahos—185 wagons, 93 principles, a production staff of 200, 22 cameramen. The company traveled 4,300 miles in seven states—Arizona, California, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Oregon. They also had 12 Indian guides and 123 baggage trains, 700 chickens, pigs, and dogs.
There was also a 23-year-old actor trying on form-fitting buckskin, his first leading role, and a new name: "John Wayne." Read the rest of this article on Moving Image Source.

Saturday 6:02 AM, 02/02/2013
Penelope Cruz is about to be a proud mother of two! She and husband Javier Bardem are already parents to Leo Encinas Bardem, and the actress is rumored to be pregnant again. Back in 2011, when her son was born, she spoke about her experience as a first-time mom: "From the first second, you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience," she said. "That's the best way I can describe it. It transforms you completely, in a second. Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment, when you see that face, you are transformed forever."
