Tuesday is primary election day. The polls are open across the state until 8 p.m. MPR News reporters are out talking to voters, and will share what issues are standing out as voters choose candidates to send to the November election for governor, senator and other races. In St. Paul, voters may see a question on their November ballots about the right to repair for renters. A nurse practitioner is reconnecting with patients who were living in a homeless encampment that the City of St. Paul cleared last week. We'll hear from her about her work.Imagine 89,000 EV chargers in the Twin Cities metro. That's what's needed to keep up with demand, according to the Metropolitan Council. Is it heaven? Is it Iowa?

Most nursing home administrators don't realize they're sitting on one of the most underutilized revenue streams in all of Medicare — and until someone shows up and tells them what it's worth, they never will. In this episode, Scott Middleton — founder and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health — calls in from the road as he travels across rural Georgia on a multi-day facility tour, fresh off completing a major merger with TCPA. What follows is an unfiltered, on-the-ground breakdown of two transformational opportunities Scott is actively building: chronic care management (CCM) reimbursement and ACO cost savings — and the very specific reasons most of the industry is getting both wrong. In this episode, you'll hear: Why Medicare already pays $65/hour for care management performed by nurses, community health workers, and social workers — and how Your Health is now contracting with nursing home facilities to perform it, paying them up to $100 per patient per month The "Fuse" platform — a communication and documentation tool that routes care management notes directly into billing-ready buckets, syncing with point-of-care software so the minutes get captured and billed automatically How ACO risk scores work, why Your Health's scores have grown 30% under their current plan, and what failing to see hospice patients could cost the organization — up to $22 million in a single year The $4,800 per patient per year problem: how one physician in their network was quietly rated one of the worst under the ACO model simply because his patients were going home without any follow-up Scott's announcement that SSAs and TCPs are being restructured to report directly to peer group administrators — and why the confusion about their roles has cost the company If you lead a nursing home, an assisted living facility, a physician group, or any organization inside the long-term care ecosystem, this episode will change how you look at what you're already doing — and what you're leaving behind. www.YourHealth.Org

We can't keep turning a blind eye to e-commerce skimming. It's a real threat that demands real attention—regardless of how compliance checklists evolve. Eighteen months ago, our panel met to break down the rollout of PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. Now, one year after PCI v4.0, we're looking at the data-backed reality of how these requirements are actually playing out in the field.With the recent industry transitions to PCI DSS v4.0.1, clarifications surrounding the boundaries between parent web pages and third-party iframes have created a dangerous side effect: "Checkbox Blindness." Many organizations are misinterpreting these adjustments to mean that script monitoring is effectively optional if a payment iframe is in place. But treating client-side security as a text-only compliance loophole ignores a harsh forensic reality—attackers don't care about scoping boundaries.In this follow-up episode, host Jen Stone sits down with a full house of SecurityMetrics experts—Gary Glover (VP of Assessment), Chad Horton (VP of Technology), and Aaron Willis (VP of Forensic Investigation)—to cut through the regulatory noise. Backed by data from over six years of payment page monitoring, they translate the latest auditor fine print into practical guidance on why your parent page remains a prime target, and how to protect it without drowning your team in alert fatigue.Key Takeaways From This Episode:The v4.0.1 Scoping Misconception: Why thinking an embedded iframe completely offloads your client-side security obligations is a critical business risk.Bypassing the Safe: How attackers manipulate the parent page environment to intercept credit card data before it ever reaches a secure iframe or redirect link.The Reality of "Checkbox Compliance": Why tracking down fourth- and fifth-party scripts matters to your baseline security, even if your SAQ criteria makes it look elective.Inside a "Zero-Malware" Exploit: A forensic breakdown of how threat actors turn legitimate, approved analytics scripts against online checkout flows.Managing the Responsibility Matrix: How to handle iframe providers who are quietly altering their security liability terms in their public documentation.Resources & Links Mentioned:Stop Checkbox Blindness: Automate your script inventory with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Monitor Get a Forensic MRI of Your Checkout: Schedule a deep-dive review with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Inspect Read the Research: Download the QSA White Paper on E-Commerce Skimmer Attacks Connect With Our Team:SecurityMetrics Website: securitymetrics.comFollow Us on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/securitymetricsA note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Grayson's Las Vegas field work riding in Zoox and Motional robotaxis, Uber's earnings and the path to driver-out, and autonomous trucking earnings.The first thing Grayson did when he landed in Vegas was try to order a Zoox, but the service was not available until 11 AM and when it finally came online shortly after 11 AM, the wait time for the vehicle to arrive was 67 minutes.So he opened the Uber app and tried to order a Motional robotaxi, where he was paired with a Motional in under five minutes. During the one hour and seven minute Zoox wait time, he was able to ride down and back in two different Motional vehicles between Resorts World and the Luxor, arriving back with 21 minutes to spare.While he was in town, Grayson conducted field work at the Zoox depot where he counted more Toyota Highlander test vehicles than purpose-built Zoox robotaxis coming out of the depot. He also visited with the Nuro team at their test track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.While Grayson was busy conducting field work, Tesla crossed 10 billion FSD Supervised miles, while Uber's autonomy overhang continues as the benchmark for deploying robotaxis is driver-out, not with safety attendants.Wrapping up the conversation, Grayson and Walt discussed the latest earnings from Aurora and Kodiak and what Grayson learned at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas.Episode Chapters00:00 Field Work: Motional, Zoox and Las Vegas20:57 Uber's Autonomy Overhang23:50 Discounting Uber's Partnership with Waymo26:44 Nuro and Lucid Prepare to Scale32:52 Autonomous Trucking's Presence at the ACT Expo34:41 Aurora, Kodiak Updates from Earnings37:13 Politics and Autonomous Trucking in California39:01 The No Safety Attendant Bar for Autonomous Trucking44:10 Next Week--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

In this week's episode, Ken Ferrie defines what constitutes a CTC “A+” planting rating and the specific environmental conditions needed to achieve it. He breaks down the CTC stoplight signals, showing growers how to use these metrics to guide their planting decisions for maximum success.The goal is simple but critical: ensuring every seed emerges as evenly as possible. Ferrie explains why growers should have a plan to plant their entire corn acreage in just 5–7 working days, allowing them to wait for the perfect weather window to chase their highest yields yet.

Ken Ferrie talks frost damage on beans and planting windows for corn in this Boots In The Field Report
Ken was in Lindsay Ontario giving a presentation for the Durham Soil and Crop Improvement Association and got the chance to talk to a couple of Canadian farmers about what 2025 looked like for them and what they are planning for the 2026 crop year.
In this week's Boots In The Field Report, Ken Ferrie talks about how in the early planted beans, growers need to be watchful for a need to replant the ponds and to keep a close eye on conventional tillage fields for crusting. He encourages growers to hoe before they know, check on their seed quality, and to use the rain delay to finish up last minute items so they can be ready to go once we dry up.

Blake Phelps provides a Field Report on the spring waterfowl migration at Freezeout Lake Wildlife Management Area following several conservation updates. Recent research from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Montana FWP indicates that elk populations in Northwest Montana remain stable despite predation from lions, bears, and wolves. Data shows that while some elk utilize private land for forage, the majority remain accessible on public land in timbered or difficult terrain. In Oregon, the passing of House Bill 4134 increased the state lodging tax to 2.75% to generate 38 million dollars for habitat restoration and the State Wildlife Action Plan. A study on YouTube wildlife content revealed that only 9% of videos focus on conservation, with very few viewers taking direct action on behalf of wildlife. Across the Western U.S., record low snowpack and high temperatures in 2026 have already led to 1.5 million acres burned. These conditions are expected to reduce forage quality for wildlife and may trigger early fishing restrictions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week's episode is a little different. Instead of a guest interview, Beth shares a field report from IBS 2026 in Orlando — breaking down what actually stood out on the show floor. From hidden products made visible, to gamified lead capture, to brands repositioning themselves around partnership instead of product, this episode unpacks the booth strategies that felt intentional and the ones that felt forgettable. The strongest brands weren't just showcasing products. They were designing for decision-making and building ROI directly into the experience. If trade shows are part of your 2026 strategy, this one's worth a listen.
