| | | A Global Casting Call for Corporate Boards | | AMERICAN companies seeking to expand internationally ought to do a better job of placing non-Americans on their boards to help guide them in those markets, says J. Frank Brown, newly appointed dean of Insead, the international business school with campuses in France and Singapore. Here are excerpts from a conversation:
Q. Are American companies doing a good job of putting foreigners on their boards?A. I don’t think that the statistics would say that, particularly if you look at the 30 Dow Jones industrial companies.As part of research that we’ve done at Insead, we looked at those boards, and nine companies had all-American boards — 3M, AT&T, Boeing, Exxon Mobil, J. P. Morgan Chase, Merck, Pfizer, Verizon and Wal-Mart. Alcoa, Citigroup, General Electric, I.B.M. and Walt Disney all have more than 20 percent international directors. Alcoa has 40 percent.But if you look at the numbers, there are 40 international directors at the 30 companies, or just 11 percent of the total.Q. With so many companies aiming at new markets, why aren’t they putting more directors from those markets on their boards?A. I can think of two reasons. One is lack of focus, just not... | |

| | let me now about microven.......... | | Micro waved water - a MUST read
A 26-year old decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water
and
put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done
numerous
times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told
me
he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven
off,
he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted
that
the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup "blew up"
into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his
hand
but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of
energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns
to
his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight
in
his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to
him
stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should
never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner,
something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a
wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to
boil
the water in a teakettle.General... | |

| | Latest News..Thousands in dark after Northwest storm | | SEATTLE - Residents of the Pacific Northwest struggled to stay warm Saturday after the worst windstorm in more than a decade knocked out power to more than 1.5 million homes and businesses and killed at least six people.
More than 600,000 customers in Washington and Oregon still had no power Saturday, and utilities said some might have to wait into next week for their lights to go back on.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire declared a state of emergency, and with temperatures expected to drop over the weekend, officials warned people not to use outdoor grills, propane heaters or other carbon monoxide-producing equipment indoors.
Firefighters in Kent found 33 people from four families suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning Friday night, fire Capt. Kyle Ohashi said. They had taken their barbecues inside to cook or heat their apartments as temperatures dipped into the 30s.
All were expected to survive, Ohashi said.
In Oregon, a family of six was sickened by carbon monoxide from a generator set up in a garage in Gresham, police said. Three children were hospitalized in critical condition late Friday, while one child and both parents were listed in good condition.

do u know about him???????????I’m very devoted,” he said, having no trouble finding more ways to emphasize the point. “I’m very loyal. I’m not in here for a short ride. I’m not a one-off guy.”Mr. Falco and his new deputy, Ron Grant, made their first moves yesterday to run AOL for the long haul by doing something its employees have become accustomed to in the six tumultuous years since the company merged with Time Warner: reorganizing the executive suite. Mr. Falco will have eight people report directly to him, including Mr. Grant and AOL’s vice chairman, Ted Leonsis, as well as the top executives in areas like human resources, legal and finance, according to a memo sent yesterday to AOL employees. Mr. Grant, the president and chief operating officer, will oversee seven operating businesses, including products, platforms, programming, advertising sales, international, and the company’s large but declining business for selling Internet access. This time, Mr. Falco says, the company is properly configured to capitalize on a strategy it began following in August: focusing on free services for broadband Internet users supported by advertising.
