Gary Peters (D-MI) pointed out an “infant tragically passed away because of delayed medical care.”California Senator Alex Padilla says bad actors don't just get a payoff from ransomware attacks; they also benefit from selling patient information on the black market.Stirling Martin of Epic Systems, says health information “isn't something that can be reset or changed, like a password or credit card number.”At Thursday’s hearing, Senator Josh Hawley highlighted why rural providers are especially vulnerable, which Kate Pierce of Fortified Health Security added, “most of them have no staff that are directly assigned to cyber.”Experts told la...

Illinois and Iowa may disagree on many things, but when it comes to the three most popular dog names, they’re perfectly paired. They also buck national trends together.Bark, a pet toy company that specializes in subscription services for dogs, pawed through 10 years’ worth of subscriber data and information from 3.2 million dogs in a 2022 survey to determine the most popular dog names in the U.S. The data showed that “Luna” came in at #1 in 35 states, followed by “Bella”, “Max”, “Cooper” and “Daisy”.“When we analyze the names of dogs by state, the data is surprisingly homogenous,” Bark says in a blog post on their website. “Regardless of region or political leaning, we have commonalities in what we name our pups as Americans, and the most popular name is Luna.” Illinois bill would make driving with pet in your lap illegal Hawaii was the only state whose top dog name (“Kona”) wasn’t in the nationwide top three.

SXSW musicians call out the festival for unfair pay, dub it 'a bad deal for a decade'

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:40:28 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN)  — On a dreary Thursday morning outside of the Austin Convention Center — the epicenter of the South By Southwest Conference & Festivals — dozens of musicians came together to chant with signs, drums and a megaphone. But these musicians were not assembled for a SXSW-sponsored performance. Instead, they were gathered to decry what they called low and unfair compensation rates for appearing and performing at the festival. “We are demanding that this festival — that brings in hundreds of millions of dollars — finally fairly compensates the musicians who perform at this festival, who have been getting the same sorry deal for over a decade, where we are offered no payment and a wristband to attend the festival or a paltry $250 if you're a band or $100 if you are a solo artist,” said Joey La Neve DeFrancesco, an artist from Rhode Island who performed at the festival.  “It has been a bad deal for a decade, and they haven't given us a raise in over a decade,” he conti...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:40:28 GMT

Alarmed by an uptick in both crime reports and nuisance complaints, Metro Transit will spend up to $6 million over the next two years contracting a private security firm to patrol six bus and light rail transit stations, including the Green Line’s Central Station, where two men were shot dead last December.The unarmed security details will be expected to communicate with and supplement Metro Transit’s sworn police force, which has struggled, like other police departments, to recruit and retain officers amid a national labor shortage.The Metropolitan Council voted Wednesday to authorize Metro Transit’s general manager to execute a one-year contract with Allied Universal for $3 million, with the option to renew for a second year.“It’s unfortunate that we need to do this, but we really need to do this,” said Wendy Wulff, a Met Council member from Lakeville, during Wednesday’s council meeting. “We’ve seen just a decline in the behavi...
