MJ THE WEB HEAD: JORDAN TO JOIN CHICAGO WEB FIRM'S BOD

          MICHAEL JORDAN will join the Board of Directors of
     Chicago-based Divine interVentures, which invests in
     Internet-related companies and operates Kids@Best, a program
     designed to educate kids about technology.  Jordan will work
     with the company on regional business opportunities and
     community/philanthropic efforts (THE DAILY).  BARRON's Mark
     Veverka reports that Jordan is "expected to join" Divine's
     BOD "in exchange for a pre IPO equity stake" in the company
     and "perhaps stakes in some of" Divine's individual Internet
     companies."  Divine was launched last summer by former head
     of software firm Platinum Technology Andrew "Flip"
     Filipowski (BARRON'S, 3/13 issue). In Chicago, Rob Kaiser
     reports that Divine "hopes to raise as much as" $460M in the
     IPO, which will "likely take place in April," and "plans to
     invest in on-line business-to-business companies and
     Internet infrastructure firms" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 3/14).
