“Game of Thrones” featured two maps in the season premiere beyond its iconic opening credits. Both Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) used the maps to study and plan for their eventual conquest of Westeros.

Although we’ve seen the 3-D map at Dragonstone before, the one at King’s Landing in the Red Keep was brand new to fans, and wasn’t even complete on the screen. Cersei needed a map to match her outsized ambitions and the one she commissioned covered the entire floor a large courtyard. At the beginning of the scene, a craftsman is seen working on the almost-finished map before the queen dismisses him.
“It’s what we’ve been waiting for our all lives,” Cersei tells her brother Jaime (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau). “It’s ours now.

This lovely piece of fluffy is Dean Geyer, one of the handful of Australian actors who are playing Americans in Fox TV’s Terra Nova. He plays one of the military guys named Mark Reynolds. He also is attracted to Maddy, the daughter of of the leads, Jim and Elizabeth Shannon (Jason O’Mara and Shelly Conn). This show has proven underwhelming for me -this past Monday’s episode called What Remains was obviously taken from the pile of unfinished scripts from Star Trek: Voyager -so I’ve begun to focus on the motives of certain characters. Like this one. I don’t know why, but I’ve begun suspect he is part of “the sixers,” the mysterious group of people who came during the sixth pilgrimage to the past and who seem to have their own creepy, oddly unfocused agenda. Plus, any drama needs…drama. And this Reynolds character...

Many entrepreneurs and leaders come and go without passing on what made them great. But there have been others who decided to pick up a pen, sit at a typewriter, or dictate into a recorder. While we have featured many business books this year in our Leadership Hall Of Fame, we have avoided biographies. Well, here is a list of those remarkable businessmen and women who decided to tell their life's story and impart their wisdom, from Ash to Welch.

Sixty next year, Stanford Research Park is, more than ever, the innovative heart of Silicon Valley.
Just after World War II, Stanford University was struggling financially. It was land-rich but cash-poor, so its leaders had an idea: How about we create a new income source by using some of the land for industry?
The Stanford Research Park, as it's now known, was the first of its kind in America. Today, the 700-acre spread has 10 million square feet of commercial real estate that generates millions of dollars for the university each year. It's home to iconic tech brands such as Hewlett-Packard, one of the first tenants, and the banks, consultants, restaurants, and law firms that serve them. According to Mark Kindred, a Palo Alto -- based senior research analyst at the commercial real estate firm Jones Lang Lasalle, "It's the epicenter of Silicon Valley."

Venture onto the top floor of many corporate HQs and the silence, the deference, and the sense that the air is thinner can be disconcerting. Most Boards and C-Suites live in reality bubbles, which may--or may not--reflect existing or emergent realities. Exxon CEO Lee Raymond famously presided over the 'God Pod'--the bubble within which his executive office operated with near divine powers. More recently, one doesn't need to look further than what went on at the top of companies like Enron, Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns before they hit the wall. Trying to engage C-Suite leaders on wider environmental, social or governance issues at such moments can be a Sisyphean task, if indeed you can even get through the door.
But the world is changing--and at an accelerating pace. You can sense the change in many C-Suite conversations and agendas. And a key catalyst is the growing sense that there...

This last weekend, a good friend of mine from northern California stayed with us for three days as he finished business here in La on a little festival film that I scored for him earlier this year. It dawned on me this weekend — as we sat around, drinking endless amounts of CocaCola Slurpees, and talking movies — just how much fun it is to collaborate with someone you also have a solid friendship with. Many great conversations were had, but one sticks out the most, and is an interesting discussion starter here:
If we didn't have our projects in common with our directors, would we still be friends?
As for me and my friend Scott, we really couldn't answer that question. Who knows? The fact is that we do have film in common, so the point is sort of moot. But that got me thinking about us as collaborators. What makes it work?...
