The community also extends to fans who wait through the night for autographs. “I’ll say, `Let’s throw a zombie into the crowd!’ `cause everyone wants to take their picture with a zombie,” laughs Mazzara. “But it’s really about having people on the ground listening. Our location manager suggested setting up a couple of tables on Main Street and doing an autograph signing for the local people. We’re trying to figure out how to organize that. Our cast is really generous about giving back to fans. We know we’ve done something right when we pack up to leave, and they say, `When are you coming back?’“ … [Read more...] about The Walking Dead’s Glen Mazzara On Managing the Undead Way

I’m happy to report my mother continues to persevere, but her resilience hasn’t been the only silver lining to this ordeal. Years spent in the company of nurses and doctors—unfailingly committed, but perpetually overworked and often sleep deprived—convinced me that the power of AI could radically elevate the way care is delivered. Intelligent sensors could keep tireless watch over patients, automate time-consuming tasks like charting and transcription, and identify lapses in safety protocols as they happen.

Launching a similar program today would require coordination between the city and the state, each of which has control over certain elements of zoning in Manhattan. They would have to go through the complicated process of rezoning to allow offices in certain areas to be converted, and then count on the owners of the office buildings to make the investment in turning them into housing. Though the Lower Manhattan example shows this is possible, the 25,000 residential units that eventually emerged from former offices there were developed only gradually over the course of two decades. … [Read more...] about New York Gov.
