• Members of the Alabama Democratic Party's governing board on Saturday approved new bylaws and scheduled new leadership elections amid an ongoing internal feud that appears eventually destined for court.
• State Democratic Executive Committee members called their own meeting to comply with a directive from the Democratic National Committee officials to update bylaws to provide representation of more minorities — not just African Americans. The more than 75 committee members in attendance gave a standing ovation after the bylaws were adopted.
• "We are attempting to rebuild our party so we can be competitive in Alabama politics again," Rep. Chris England, who was elected to preside over the meeting, told reporters afterward. "Hopefully, we will see a Democratic Party that is embracing all Democrats."
• The Saturday action came after a longstanding power struggle within the party that has pitted longstanding leaders against a coalition fighting for changes.

• UAB Medicine says the protected health information of more than 19,000 patients has been exposed through a computer hacking attack.
• It's unclear exactly how many of the records were improperly viewed. A statement issued Friday says UAB Medicine is notifying 19,557 patents that their personal information could be vulnerable.

• Instead, the email actually allowed hackers to get into workers' email accounts and the payroll system. Cybercriminals attempted to divert workers automatic payroll deposits into an account controlled by hackers.
• UAB Medicine says it discovered the attack in early August.
• Meanwhile, DCH Health Systems in Tuscaloosa is paying off those who recently hacked its computer systems with malware.
