State environmental conservation police have been alerted to the possible presence of one or more hybrid wolf-dogs in the Long Pond area in North Stonington and Ledyard that have recently attacked at least two horses, bitten a bicyclist and threatened a resident who shot and killed one of the animals.
Wolf-dog hybrids are considered dangerous, and ownership is illegal in Connecticut, said Rick Jacobson, director of DEEP's wildlife division, on Monday.
The man who shot the animal said that three large, white canines without collars surrounded him while he was outside his horse barn one morning last month and did not back away when he yelled at them. They circled him as if preparing to attack, he said. He called his neighbor, who brought a shotgun. Another of his neighbors, who is trained in animal science, took samples of the dead animal's tongue, cheek and fur and sent it to the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California, Davis. Last week they received a report from the lab stating that the animal was a "dog-wolf hybrid."
A copy of the report, along with photos of the dead animal and another of the three canines on his property, was provided to The Day. The man asked that his name not be used, saying he and his neighbors fear retribution by the person who they believe owns up to six of the animals. He said he learned during a meeting with his neighbors this weekend that two horses and a bicyclist had been bitten by the animals in recent weeks.
"But regardless of whether these are wolf-dog hybrids," the man said, "this behavior is unacceptable. It's against the law, and I want something done."
He added that three of the white dogs returned this past Saturday. He spotted them at the bottom of his driveway, but they did not come closer. He estimated they weigh about 80 pounds each and said they have large paws and "bulky, strong" bodies.
"They came trotting by again, making their rounds," he said.
The area where the animals have been seen is near the state boat launch and the Eastern Pequot Reservation on Long Pond and not far from popular hiking areas in Ledyard and at Lantern Hill in North Stonington.
The man was contacted Monday by state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Environmental Conservation officers, who have begun an investigation. They have the authority under state law to confiscate any wolf-dog hybrids.
"This seems to raise issues of concern, and of course timeliness is important," said Dennis Schain, spokesman for DEEP. "The EnCon officers will take any appropriate actions."
State Veterinarian Mary Jane Lis said one of the dangers with wolf-dog hybrids is that they cannot be vaccinated against rabies, because no rabies vaccine has been tested for effectiveness in these animals.
There has been at least one other case of a wolf-dog hybrid in Connecticut, Jacobson said. The animal was taken from the owner and brought to a wolf-dog rescue facility. The state also uses the University of California, Davis lab to confirm the genetics of suspected wolf-dogs, he said.
Becky Ewall-Evans, head of parentage and diagnostic testing at the lab, said the wolf hybridization test is believed to be "highly accurate within three generations." The DNA sample from the specimen is compared against DNA from populations of the purebreds most frequently bred with wolves, including German shepherds, Malamutes and Samoyeds, as well as purebred wolves and known wolf-dog hybrids. The lab performs about five of these tests each month, she said, often for rescue organizations that want to know the genetics of an animal so it can be placed in a suitable home.
Many dog and wolf experts warn against owning or breeding wolf-dog hybrids. While dogs and wolves share much of the same genetic makeup, the small differences between the two that have emerged since the two species diverged some 14,000 years ago are very significant, experts say. They are known to have none of the natural fear or shyness around humans that wild wolves have, yet retain wolves' powerful prey drive and do not respond to training. They also have strong territorial instincts that range for miles beyond their owners' homes and are adept at climbing over or digging out of enclosures unless fences are 8 feet tall, have inleaning overhangs and concrete trenches around the perimeter.
"To mix a wild animal with a domestic animal doesn't help either," said Kent Weber, founder and director of Mission Wolf, a rescue organization in Colorado. "These end up being very confused animals, and most of them end up dead."
He estimated there are about 250,000 wolf-dog hybrids in the United States. Though they are illegal in most states, an Internet search for "wolf dog" shows several sites advertising wolf-dog puppies and breeders.
In Kentucky last year, a woman who owned dozens of wolf-dogs was apparently eaten by her animals. Authorities found a human skull and jawbone on her property after neighbors reported that she hadn't been seen for several days.
When the dogs and wolves are bred, the offspring are often larger than either parent, apparently the result of the phenomenon of heterosis, or hybrid vigor. Despite - or perhaps because of - the dangerous animals that can result, people have been cross-breeding dogs and wolves for hundreds of years. In the 1760s in south-central France, the "Beast of Gevaudan" killed more than 100 people and injured several dozen others until finally being killed by bounty hunters. Historians believe the beast was actually one or more mastiff-wolf hybrids.

I was running Windows XP SP3 and had downloaded and was using Windows Live Mail. I had already converted to it from Outlook Express.
Now I have a new computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have used a USB to IDE cable to copy all of the data from the C: drive on the old computer to the new one on it's D: drive.
How can I get my accounts and emails into my new Live Mail setup? I cannot get into the old computer to run the export, but like I said, it has already been converted. I would think that I can just copy and re-attach some things, but cannot find any documentation on this specific issue.

Stress Fracture
By D.P. Lyle
Medallion Press, Inc.Copyright © 2010 D.P. Lyle
All right reserved.
Chapter OneSunday 11:36 p.m.
He relished the moments before the kill.
When his heart thumped against his chest. When sweat slicked his skin and stung his eyes, his breathing coarse and raspy. When the muscles of his shoulders tightened and his hands tingled as if awakening. He closed his eyes and took several breaths, the night air warm and sweet. No hurry. He had time. Time to enjoy the anticipation.
Squatting behind a thick, five-foot row of hydrangeas, Brian Kurtz leaned against the cool brick wall. Its roughness tugged at his T-shirt. Inside, his victim slept. The deep, peaceful sleep of someone who thought the future held many such restful nights. Not so, Mr. Michael Savage.
Savage. He liked that name. It possessed power and passion and violence and rage. It conjured images of the old man at the Russel Erskine and the little fag over in Madison. Savage. They had learned the meaning of the word. Tonight the man beyond the wall would, too.
"Very soon, Mr. Savage," he murmured.
He often talked aloud to himself, though at these times his voice sounded foreign. Tinny, flat, muffled. His pulse hammered in his ears, and the familiar rage-fueled knot expanded in his stomach. The anger wanted out. Not yet.
God, he loved this feeling.
He shifted his weight. The marble-sized gravel beneath the shrubs crunched softly. His shoulder shook loose a few petals from one of the ball-shaped flowers. They floated to the ground, joining others that had already taken the fall.
His plan looped through his mind for the hundredth time. Every step a crisp picture. Jump the fence into the backyard. Through the side garage door, the kitchen, and down the hall to where Savage sprawled on his bed, easy prey. The gun, the soft pop, the recoil. Then, Savage was his. The images kicked his pulse up a notch. Sweat collected on his face, and he swiped it away with the front of his shirt.
It was time.

This book kept me engaged throught out the story. I would recommend this book to all who love police and detective suspense books.
This book is a superb book. I am a slow reader and I red the book in 11 days. I'm not much of a reader but this book is something I couldn't put down. I'm so excited for the second book of the series to come out. I'm 21 and I would recommend this book to anyone. I give this book very high praises and hope that many people read this and love it like I did.
This story is a real page turner. Almost hard to belive it's fictional!
A free book purchase and well worth the read. It kept met interested and guessing the who, why, how as a good mystery thriller should.
4 and 5 stars? The book was average at best. The main character is boring! He's not tough, or extraordinarily smart, doesn't possess any impressive skills....nothing!!! His ex wife the reporter adds nothing to the story except as a love interest. The other detective T Tom (why???) is just there so that Dub has someone to talk to. He doesn't compliment Dub or add anything to their relationship i.e. he's not the muscles or the brains. The bad guys don't inspire any feelings towards them at all. The book repeats the same type of crime over and over again. You would think that each new crime would further the bad guys agenda but youwould be wrong. So, ina nut shell. Terrible characters, bad story line, and a disappointing ending make this book a forgettable reading experience. KMS
If there were an award for the Best Chapter Endings, D.P. Lyle would be the hands down winner. A master in the art of tethering readers to each and every crisp, deftly written word, his bold imagery snakes through the pages of his latest action packed thriller "Stress Fracture," making it physically painful to put down. Dub Walker-an expert consultant in crime scene investigation-is shaken to the core by the butchery as he lingers in the home and now crime scene of his friend and former Huntsville Sheriff Mike Savage. Rage and unrelenting anger are the only clues that seep from the scene, linking the brutality to two previous murders. This senseless act upon a fellow officer and much loved member of society makes the hunt for this particular brand of killer personal for all involved. But it just doesn't add up as Dub receives the first of many phone calls from the killer. He is perfectly calm, intelligent and not easily goaded, which is at odds with the viciousness found onsite. As Dub continues to push, he never gives thought to the danger he may be helping to set in motion. If you are already a fan or are at all aware of Lyle's work, then you've probably figured out this man doesn't seem to know how to fail. "Stress Fracture" gives you a ringside seat for the action, making you feel like an active participant in the drama. Reviewed by Shannon Raab with Suspense Magazine www.suspensemagazine.com
Highly recommended
Good story line.
Fast,exciting read. Felt like you were there like a fly on the wall.
I love this book....can hardly put it down.............can't wait to see how it ends! Can't wait to finish, I would love to read more by this author.
Would recommend
Great storyline and hard to put down, very well written.
I found the writting awkward but enjoyed the story.
I have 50 pages left . I'm enjoying the book. Can't wait to see what happen next. Very nice flow to the book It's hard to put down.
I am not your typical mystery reader but I figured I would give this one a shot. It kept me turning the pages until I got done. I thought I had it figured out, then there was a twist to it. The author made it seem like you are there looking at the crime scene so that is what kept me hooked. I can't wait for another book to come out and hope it is a good as this first one is.
Story is really great but at times little boring description or talk. Other than that really good book. Worth reading who likes criminal stories
My only criticism--it's a little too slick. Character reminds me of "Criminal Minds," Jack Reacher, Lucas Davenport, and a few others.
A good read, a lot of clues to follow
Good read!
3.5 stars This book had a great plot, and I like the twists. What lacked for me was character development. This could have been a phenomenal book if I was able to really connect with the characters.
Dub Walker is a great character

These grilled clams, which are simplicity itself, were the first food I ever ate at The Place, in Guilford, Connecticut. and I was immediately hooked. They use a good-quality bottled cocktail sauce at The Place, but if you want to make your own, so much the better. You might try the Land Ho! Cocktail Sauce.
1. Prepare a moderately hot hardwood or charcoal fire, or preheat a gas grill.
2. Place the unopened clams on the grill, cover, and cook just until the shells begin to pop open, 5 to 10 minutes. Pry off the top shells, daub the clams with cocktail sauce, and top each clam with a small piece (about 1/2 teaspoon) of butter.
3. Continue to cook on the grill until the clams are hot and the tops are lightly glazed with sauce and melted butter, about 5 minutes longer.
4. Serve with lemon wedges and a small bowl of cocktail sauce for dipping, if desired.

Patient financial engagement is more challenging than ever – and more critical. With patient responsibility as a percentage of revenue on the rise, providers have seen their billing-related costs and accounts receivable levels increase. If increasing collection yield and reducing costs are a priority for your organization, the metrics outlined in this presentation will provide the framework you need to understand what's working and what's not, in order to guide your overall patient financial engagement initiatives and optimize results.
No two patients are the same. Each has a very personal healthcare experience, and each has distinct financial needs and preferences that have an impact on how, when and if they chose to pay their healthcare bill. It's no longer effective to apply static billing techniques to solve the complex challenge of collecting balances from patients. The need to tailor financial conversations and payment options to individual needs and preferences is critical. This presentation provides 10 recommendations that will not only help you improve payment performance through a more tailored approach, but take control of rising collection costs.
This white paper, written by Apex Vice President of Solutions and Services, Carrie Romandine, discusses the importance of patient segmentation and messaging specifically related to the patient revenue cycle. Applying strategic messaging that is tailored to each patient type will not only better educate consumers on payment options specific to their billing needs, but it will maximize the amount collected before sending to collections. Further, targeted messaging should be applied across all points of patient interaction (i.e. point of service, customer service, patient statements) and analyzed regularly for maximized results.
This white paper, written by Apex President Patrick Maurer, discusses methods to increase patient adoption of online payments. Providers are now seeking ways to incrementally collect more payments due from patients as well as speeding up the rate of collections. This white paper shows why patient-centric approaches to online payment portals are important complements to traditional provider-centric approaches.
Increased electronic engagement between healthcare providers and patients provides significant opportunities for improving revenue cycle metrics and encouraging patients to access EHRs. This article, written by Apex Founder and CEO Brian Kueppers, explores a number of strategies to create synergy between patient billing, online payment portals and electronic health record (EHR) software to realize a high ROI in speed to payment, patient satisfaction and portal adoption for meaningful use.
Faced with a rising tide of bad debt, a large Southeastern healthcare system was seeing a sharp decline in net patient revenues. The need to improve collections was dire. By integrating critical tools and processes, the health system was able to increase online payments and improve its financial position. Taking a holistic approach increased overall collection yield by 10% while costs came down because the number of statements sent to patients fell by 10%, which equated to a $1.3M annualized improvement in patient cash over a six-month period. This case study explains how.
With the ICD10 deadline quickly approaching and daily responsibilities not slowing down, final preparations for October 1 require strategic prioritization and laser focus.
Read how Gwinnett Medical Center provides clear connections to financial information, offers multiple payment options for patients, and gives onsite staff the ability to collect payments at multiple points throughout the care process.
Read how Orlando Health was able to perform deeper dives into claims data to help the health system see claim rejections more quickly–even on the front end–and reduce A/R days.
To maintain fiscal fitness and boost patient satisfaction and loyalty, healthcare providers need visibility into when and how much they will be paid–by whom–and the ability to better navigate obstacles to payment. They need payment clarity. This whitepaper illuminates this concept that is winning fans at forward-thinking hospitals.
Financial services staff are always looking for ways to improve the verification, billing and collections processes, and Munson Healthcare is no different. Read about how they streamlined the billing process to produce cleaner bills on the front end and helped financial services staff collect more than $1 million in additional upfront annual revenue in one year.
Effective revenue cycle management can be a challenge for any hospital, but for smaller providers it is even tougher. Read how Wallace Thomson identified unreimbursed procedures, streamlined claims management, and improved its ability to determine charity eligibility.
Before launching an energy-efficiency initiative, it's important to build a solid business case and understand the funding options and potential incentives that are available. Healthcare leaders should consider taking the steps outlined in the whitepaper to ease the process of gaining approval, piloting, implementing, and supporting sustainability projects. You will find that investing in sustainability and energy efficiency helps hospitals add cash to their bottom line. Discover how hospitals and health systems have various options for funding energy-efficient and renewable-energy initiatives, depending on their current financial structure and strategy.
Health care is a dynamic mergers and acquisitions market with numerous hospitals and health systems contemplating or pursuing formal arrangements with other entities. These relationships often pose a strategic benefit, such as enhancing competencies across the continuum, facilitating economies of scale, or giving the participants a competitive advantage in a crowded market. Underpinning any profitable acquisition is a robust capital planning strategy that ensures an organization reserves sufficient funds and efficiently onboards partners that advance the enterprise mission and values.
The success of healthcare mergers, acquisitions, and other affiliations is predicated in part on available capital, and the need for and sources of funding are considerations present throughout the partnering process, from choosing a partner to evaluating an arrangement's capital needs to selecting an integration model to finding the right money source to finance the deal. This whitepaper offers several strategies that health system leaders have used to assess and manage capital needs for their growing networks.
Announcements from several commercial payers and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) early in 2015 around increased efforts to form value-based contracts with providers seemed to point to an impending rise in risk-based contracting. Rather than wait for disruption from the outside in, health care providers are now making inroads on collaborating with payers on various risk-based contracting models to increase the value of health care from within.
Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) is a not-for-profit hospital serving a population of roughly 200,000 in Yuma and the surrounding communities.
Before becoming a ZirMed client, Yuma was attempting to manually monitor hundreds of thousands of charges which led to significant charge capture leakage. Learn how Yuma & ZirMed worked together to address underlying collections issues at the front end, thus increasing Yuma's overall bottom line.

Speedier cash flow starts with better CDI and coding. This 5-Minute White Paper Briefing explains how providers can improve vital measures of technical and business performance to accelerate cash flow.
Qualified coders are getting harder to come by, and even the most seasoned professional can struggle with the complexity of ICD-10. This 5-Minute White Paper Briefing explains how partnerships can help improve coding and other key RCM operations potentially at a cost savings.
The point of managing your revenue cycle isn't just to improve revenue and cash flow. It's to do those things effectively by consistently following best practices— while spending as little time, money, and energy on them as possible.
How Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford increased payments received within 45 days by 20% and reduced paper submission claims by 70% by using ZirMed solutions.
The reasons claims are denied are so varied that managing denials can feel like chasing a thousand different tails. This situation is not surprising given that a hypothetical denial rate of just 5 percent translates to tens of thousands of denied claims per year for large hospitals—where real‐world denial rates often range from 12 to 22 percent. Read about how predictive modeling can detect meaningful correlations across claims denials data.
Emergency Mobile Health Care (EMHC) was founded to be and remains an exclusively locally owned and operated emergency medical service organization; today EMHC serves a population of more than a million people in and around Memphis, answering 75,000 calls each year.
Since the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) introduction, CMS has paid more than $100 million in bonus payments to participants. However, these bonuses ended in 2015; providers who successfully meet the reporting requirements in 2016 will avoid the 2% negative payment adjustment in 2018, so now is the time to act! Included in this whitepaper are implications of increasing patient responsibility, collections best practices, and collections and internal control solutions.
Getting paid what your physician deserves—that's the goal of every biller. Yet even for the best billers, achieving that success can be elusive when denials stand in the way of success, presenting challenges at every turn. Denials aren't going away, but you can learn techniques to manage and even prevent them.Join practice management expert Elizabeth W. Woodcock, MBA, FACMPE, CPC, to: Discover methods to translate denial data into business intelligence to improve your bottom line, determine staff productivity benchmarks for billers, and recognize common mistakes in denial management.
Physician practices must improve organizational efficiency to compete in this era of reduced reimbursement and escalating administrative costs.
Many healthcare organizations are pursuing next-generation health information systems solutions. Learn more about Navigant's work with University of Michigan Health System.
The proper implementation of healthcare information technology systems is crucial to an organization's financial health.
As value-based payment models evolve, providers are challenged to maintain superior clinical outcomes while controlling costs.
Read more about factors contributing to the changes in the post-acute marketplace and what it means for manufacturers, physicians, clinicians, patients, and post-acute facilities as they anticipate the transition to the second curve.
HSG helped the physicians and executives of St. Claire Regional in Morehead, Kentucky, define their shared vision for how the group would evolve over the next decade. As well as, develop the strategic and operational priorities which refocused and accelerated the group's evolution.
The client was a nine-hospital health system with 14 clinics serving communities in a multi-state market with very limited access to care, poor economic conditions, high unemployment, and a heavy Medicare/Medicaid/uninsured payer mix. In most of these communities, the system was the sole source of care.
Though the clinics were of substantial size (they employed 98 physicians) and comprised of multiple specialists, the physicians functioned as individuals and the practices lacked any real group culture.
Clinical integration can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be, as this four-step road map for developing a CIN proves. Does it have to cost millions to initiate a clinical integration strategy?
Contrary to popular belief, we have clients who have generated substantial shared savings and a significant ROI over time, without massive investments. Yes, some financial capital is required for resources the CIN providers can't bring to the table themselves. But the size of that investment can be miniscule relative to the value it produces: improved outcomes and documentation for payers.
Today's concerns about physician compensation are the result of the changing healthcare environment. The transition to value is slow, but finally becoming a reality. Proactive hospitals want to ensure that provider incentives are properly aligned with ever-increasing value-based demands.
This report focuses on the three big questions HSG receives about adding value to physician compensation; Why are organizations redesigning their provider compensation plans? What elements and parameters must be part of successful compensation plans? How are organizations implementing compensation changes?
Revenue Cycle Management has become an even more complex issue with declining reimbursements, implementation of Electronic Health Records, evolving local carrier determinations (LCD), and payer credentialing [The emphasis on healthcare fraud, abuse and compliance has increased the importance of accuracy of data reporting and claims filing).
The efficiency of a medical practice's billing operations has critical impact on the financial performance. In many cases, patient billings are the primary revenue source that pays staff salaries, provider compensation and overhead operating cost. Inefficiencies or inaccurate billing will contribute to operating losses.
This publication identifies and outlines the necessary characteristics of a fully-functioning clinically integrated network (CIN). What it doesn't do is detail how hospitals and providers can participate in the value-based care environment during the development process.
One common misconception is that the CIN can't do anything significant until it has obtained the FTC's "clinically integrated" stamp of approval. While the network must satisfy the FTC's definition of clinical integration before single signature contracting for FFS rates and contracts can legally start, hospitals and providers can enjoy three key benefits during the development process.
Nearly half of all Medicare beneficiaries treated in the hospital will need post-acute care services after discharge. For these patients, a stay in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, skilled nursing facility or other post-acute care setting comes between hospital and home.
With the proper process, tools, and feedback mechanisms in place, budgeting can be a valuable exercise for organizations while helping hold organizational leaders accountable. Having a proper monthly variance review process is one of the most critical factors in creating a more efficient and accurate budget. Monthly variance reporting puts parameters around what is to be expected during the upcoming budget entry process.

I subscribe to hundreds of foodie newsletters from both non-profit organizations and profiteering companies, but one I have really been enjoying as of late is the eclectic update from Manitoba Harvest. Each month they feature some insanely basic (and delicious!) recipes from Kristen Suzanne, a former competitive bodybuilder turned raw foods chef …
Manitoba Harvest is the producer of Hemp Bliss (a dairy-free milk alternative) and various other hemp products, so the recipes do coincidentally contain hemp! Following a cherry theme (frozen OR fresh as the spring berries emerge) Kristen Suzanne uses the natural sweetness of fruit and agave nectar to make meal worthy beverages that aren't too bizarre for us cooktop addicts, but that easily qualify as raw, vegan, gluten-free, and nutritious!
Chef Kristen Suzanne is an accomplished Raw Vegan chef with a passion for helping people live life to the fullest with the healthiest cuisine in the world. Both self-taught and a graduate of the Living Light Culinary Arts Institute, she brings exquisite talent to all of her recipes and food production. Through her company, Kristen's Raw, Chef Kristen Suzanne offers training in public and private settings, consulting to help individuals live and love the Raw lifestyle, menu development and restaurant consulting, and engages with the media to further promote the Raw food cuisine and lifestyle. For more information about Chef Kristen Suzanne, visit Kristen's Raw Website.
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds
- 1 (10oz) bag frozen organic cherries (or 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted)
- 1 teaspoon raw agave nectar
- ½ vanilla bean, chopped
- pinch sea salt
- Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth

There's a good chance Google runs your e-mail, knows what videos you like and tracks every query you make on the Internet.
Now Milwaukee is among the cities scrambling to entice Google to become the local Internet service provider.
Milwaukee officials will apply to be a part of Google Fiber, an experiment in which Google plans to choose cities to lay new fiber lines and provide Internet service that the company says would reach over 1 gigabit per second, 100 times faster than standard Internet access.
Jodie Tabak, spokeswoman for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, said the mayor's office was interested in the project even before residents' e-mails began rolling in last month.
Google says it will build networks for 50,000 to 500,000 people. Google plans to roll out the service in at least one community but could pick several. The company says it would charge for the service. The company wants to study how such a high-speed system works and share its findings with other Internet service providers.
"We're doing this because we want to experiment with new ways to make the Web better and faster for everyone, allowing applications that will be impossible today," James Kelly, a product manager on Google's infrastructure team, said in a video announcing the experiment last month. State, county and local officials have a March 26 deadline to apply for the project.
Any wave of local support hasn't made it to the social networking site Facebook. A fan page promoting Milwaukee as a potential Google Fiber site on Facebook had about 160 fans on Wednesday morning. A similar page for Madison had more than 2,000 fans. Madison might have another leg up on Milwaukee. The capital city already has a Google office. Officials there told the Wisconsin State Journal that the Google Fiber project could bring 1,000 jobs to the city and $97 million in infrastructure investment.
Officials in Appleton and Marshfield also are applying for the project, according to news reports.

Amanda Bynes returns to Twitter after arrest drama
Amanda Bynes has returned to Twitter after her Thursday night arrest drama to proclaim her innocence and declare she needs "another nose job."
RELATED: What happened to Amanda Bynes?
The actress was booked on Thursday for marijuana possession and reckless endangerment, after allegedly throwing a bong out of the window of her 36th-story apartment in Manhattan as police arrived following a report suggesting Bynes had been smoking pot in the lobby of her building.
RELATED: Bynes appears in court following arrest for marijuana possession
The 27-year-old was marched into court early on Friday, wearing a blonde wig and sweatpants, and given a stern warning by Judge Neil Ross, who released her without bail and set a court appearance for July 9.
RELATED: Bynes arrested in New York, treated at psychiatric hospital
On Friday evening, Bynes was back at home and back on Twitter, where she has been posting odd messages and topless photos of herself in recent weeks, and tweeted, "I only smoke tobacco I don't drink or do drugs."

Addressing her arrest, she added, "I've never had a bong in my life!"

According to published reports, a purported draft executive order circulating in Washington could revive measures from the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, a bipartisan bill that failed in Congress amid partisan discord.
The draft order is said to still be undergoing revisions, but likely will involve the institution of a voluntary program for private companies operating critical infrastructure to cooperate with government-instituted standards and best practices, The Hill reported. The program would be led by the Homeland Security Department and include the Commerce and Defense departments, as well as others still being determined. While DHS would manage the program, the National Institute of Standards and Technology would work with industry in crafting the framework.
If the idea sounds familiar, it's because it was part of the failed cybersecurity bill spearheaded by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.). It was also a chief concern of opponents to the bill who felt the measure would lead to the government effectively controlling private networks.
White House officials have declined to comment on any specific executive cybersecurity order that is being considered, but a spokesperson did say an order is one of several options being considered. Language in the Democratic Party platform released earlier this week also suggested the possibility.
"President Obama has supported comprehensive cybersecurity legislation that would help business and government protect against risks of cyber attacks while also safeguarding the privacy rights of our citizens," the platform stated. "And, going forward, the president will continue to take executive action to strengthen and update our cyber defenses."
Reports say that the draft order could be circulated to federal agencies as soon as next week, but at least one source familiar with the issue isn't so certain.
Trey Hodgkins, TechAmerica senior vice president of global public sector government affairs, said the draft order being reported on is actually a "stale version of an update to [Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7]…that didn't encompass all the challenges they would likely want to cover in an executive order."
Some champions of failed cybersecurity legislation, including Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), have been vocal in their support for an executive order, writing letters to the Obama administration encouraging cybersecurity action. Richard Clarke, former presidential adviser on cybersecurity, last month wrote a blog on the Huffington Post website urging President Obama to take executive action.
"The president could let the Congressional farce continue on the issue of cyber security, with resulting inaction," Clarke wrote. But such a lack of action "would be inconsistent with his Constitutional duty to protect the nation from significant threats. He should issue an executive order to improve our cyber defenses now."
But others who are opposed to the bill are already sounding the alarm.
"Businesses need to speak up and let the White House and Congress know that they do not support unilateral cybersecurity requirements (even if they are couched as "voluntary") via an Executive Order, because the issue goes to the very core of their business operations and has the potential to be extremely burdensome and costly," Jody Westby, CEO of Global Cyber Risk, wrote in a Sept. 7 Forbes op-ed. "This kind of heavy-handed tactic satisfies a few but hurts the constituents…because it circumvents one of the most important functions of our government — the legislative process."

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.

The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
Before a certain Department, around the home, is asked to secure commercial networks, they should secure their own first. It is not even v6 compliant yet so how can they secure something they have no experience with?
We did not elect a king in 2008. This rule by executive order must stop.
What is the point of the Constitution and Congress if the president can just bypass them and write/nullify whatever laws he feels like? Bush and Obama both have stretched the executive branch far beyond its original intended powers. This is tyranny, pure and simple. Obama needs to be impeached.
