| L-3 adding wing facility in Waco
It will be used to structurally refurbish wings for P-3 Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance aircraft. The company currently refurbishes P-3 aircraft for the U.S. Navy, the Department of Homeland Security and international customers. The wing facility will initially employ approximately 40 employees, with that number expected to reach more than 80 by the end of 2008 and growing to approximately 100 at peak capacity, including all mechanics and support personnel. The company is accepting applications for experienced sheet metal installers and mechanical installers via its Web site, www.L-3Waco.com. The new facility is located at 1555 Old Hewitt Drive in Waco. It will be used to refurbish multiple sets of wings that have been removed from aircraft. The wings will be transported by truck between L-3's facility at Waco's Texas State Technical College Airport and the wing facility.

The gambles to diversify the company's business have come at a cost, though. Ebay took a $1.4 billion write-down in October for the 2005 acquisition of Internet-calling firm Skype, which eBay bought for $2.6 billion. The deal failed to meet expectations. Ms. Whitman has acknowledged she was "disappointed" by Skype's performance, but she says the service has outdistanced competitors, making it stronger. She's also leading an overhaul of eBay's flagship auction marketplace, including improved search features introduced this year, to revive growth prospects. "I'm very optimistic," she said in another recent interview.

Slone has had uncanny timing. (Notice we didn't say luck.) After the 65-year-old chief executive of Touchstone Communications opened a call center in the heart of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, he happened to be visiting when the South Asian country was struck by a devastating earthquake, when the prime minister resigned and when President Pervez Musharraf declared emergency rule.
