Help Raise the $1000 VOL. IV am BIG "CYM" LEON BUSH & GEORGIA TATE Take Honors in Grant Oratorial Contest FIVE EXCELLENT SPEECHES MADE Miss Tate is Only Representative of College Bush Wins Over Three High School Contestants One of the important events of the school year at Weber took place on Wednesday, December 8, 1920, when the annual Grant Oratorical contest was held. As the contest was open to all students of Weber, many excellent orations were written, most of which entered the preliminary tryouts. The high school prize went to !,nm Hush of the Junior class. His oration was unanimously given tir&t place by the judges. As the other two participants of the contest gave speeches of a very high standard, Mr. Bush is to be complimented on being the winner. Miss Georgia Tate was the only representative of the college. She gave a very excellent speech. The context of her speech was as follows: "SPEECH" The past is full of glory The future is full of promise. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, And say all manner of evil against you, Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great is your reward." To the Mormon pioneers do the people of Utah attribute the glory of their past. The Church ot Jesus ChriH.t ot Latter-day Saints first assumed organized form in Fayette, Seneca County, New York, April 6, 1830. The Saints then gathered in Kirt-land, Ohio, and in Farr West, Mo., while the year eighteen hundred and thirty saw the building of Nauvoo in Illinois. Well cultivated farms surrounded this city which grew into a prosperous community, composed of factories, commercial houses, a beautiful temple, and modern homes, which sheltered twenty thousand souls. While here, the Saints were persecuted by the Gentiles, and the Prophet Joseph Smith and his Brother Hyrum, suffered martyrdom at their hands. The remainder of 1 lie Saints then, under the leadership of President Brigham Young, decid ed to "flee to the West.'' Thus began the Nauvoo Exodus and the perilous fifteen hundred mile journey across unknown and desolate plains. The Saints were given no time to gather sufficient food, clothing. and other appropriate means of transportation. The journey became miles of misery and utter exhaustion; a succession of attacks by Gentiles, wild beasts and Indians; exposure to the elements; and subjection to the ravages of disease and hunger. Sometimes doubting, but more often hoping and praying that the "Promised Land" might be reached, one hundred and fifty-one wan and tired survivors at last dragged themselves wearily into the Great Salt Lake Valley or Utah on July twenty-third, eighteen hundred and forty-seven. They immediately sowed the seeds of their first crop. The follow- Contiiiued on Page 2 fofHRHHAL OGDEN, EXTEMPO CONTEST POSTPONED The College has found it necessary to postpone the winning of the Barker Effective Speaking Contest for a month at least. Although the subject "$1000 for the Gym," had been announced and a student from each class had been selected it was thought best to postpone the contest. The Grant Oratorical contest and coming examinations were engrossing the students' time. The enthusiasm over the contests is growing. At present the College and Seniors are tied for highest honors and the competition p.'o;.iics to tn'Tinip more exciting. All the speakers and speeches so far have been excellent. And baring the timorous ness of some of our Freshmen we have enjoyed every contest. There are but three more contests to be staged and we suspect that the classes have been saving their best speakers for the "Home Stretch." PAGEANT DRAMA IS WRITTEN BY MRS. McKEY Much Expected of Drama's Initial Performance at Orpheum Dec. 21 In our nation, President Wilson has set apart December 21, as a holiday on which we should remember the Pilgrims, who landed on the New England coast three hundred years ago. In the state, the subject has been taken up, and our church ever loyal has also determined to honor the Pilgrims. The Weber Normal College is con ducting a campaign for the gym, so is going to put on a pageant drama the evening of December 21, at the Orpheum. The pageant is not a real pageant nor a real drama, but a series of one act plays. The first act is to be in memory of the Pil grim fathers; the second in honor of the pioneers, and the third depicts the present generation. The tercentenary drama was written by Blanche Kendell McKey, one of the dramatic authorities of Utah. Her work has received the highest commendation from both Professor Lewis at the University and Superintendent Bennion of the Church schools. Weber is very fortunate in having such a valuable member in the factulty. As a pageant, it is unusually beautiful and as a drama it is bright with wit and tender with pathos. The combination of the two elements, pageantry and drama is new, and is sure to find favor. The public of Ogden will have an excellent opportunity to witness a really good production. And will, in the same measure, be able to contribute to the building of the Weber gymnasium. UTAH, THURDAY DECEMBER 16, 1920 CM Seniors Win Inter-Class Basketball Series Juniors Battle Hard to Obtain Second Place from Sophs Surprising Material Makes Its Appearance General Basketball Outlook is Very Good. The mighty Seniors easily captured the honors for inter-class basketball series this year. The Juniors and Sophs, however, did not find it so easy to settle their liatle dispute and it was not until a third game was played that the Juniors won second place by a lead of one point. Although our Freshmen friends didn't make any real hit they must be complimented tor their efforts. We understand that they were handicapped by their fewness of numbers, but -"greit. things from small beginnings vg. o ,'. " , Competition has been very keen and much real class exhibited in the playing. Our coach has some fine material to choose from and our prospects for the year look exceptionally bright. ' Because of the departure of most of our former players, things looked bad for a while but since the class series the coach is mighty proud of his "team to be." Among the most prominent new players ranks Lawrence Budge, whose remarkable floor playing and basket shooting has been one of the great surprises. For cciter we see Vernon Hill towering aboe the rest. Watkins is also a good prospect. The men left from last year are NeWman, Hickman, Lindsay and Parry, we know what these men can do and expect a good game from them. - RED CROSS DRIVE OPENS AT WEBER Carver Makes Appeal The great mother ot the world the Red Cross, is again calling for help. Her great work never ends, and although the war' has ceased, suffering and hardships still exist. Many little hungry children and ex-service men and European nations would be forgotten and left to suffer and die, if it were not for our great mother the Red Cross. Reverend Carver, a member of the local Red Cross board, brought this appeal to the Weber students when he spoke in devotional Wednesday. His speech was delivered in a convincing manner and made a great impression upon the students. They were then asked to m.ike contributions and responded loyally by giving $62.25 to the cause. PATRIARCH WHITTAK-ER ADDRESSES STUDENTS Thursday, December 2nd, the students that are studying the Old Testament had the privilege of hearing Patriarch Whitlaki r talk on the priesthood. ' He explained the priesthood, its origin, the difference between the Aaronic and Melchizedeck priesthood.Brother Whittaker is an interesting speaker and held the attention of the students to the end. They will welcome a return visit any time an opportunity for another such talk presents itself. '.: M, a: IPAIGN RAGING MUST RAISE ONE THOUSAND Dollars at Pageant & Varsity Play December 21-22 B. Y. U. vs. PRINCETON On December 2 2, the Brigham Young University will meet Princeton in a debate. Representing the "Y" are Ernest Wilkinson, a former Weber student; ' George Ballif and Hyrum Harter. : The question is a good one: "Resolved that congress should pass' a law prohibiting strikes in essential industries, constitutionality waived." The B. Y. U. is our sister college; it is one of the best church schools in the state. As students of the Weber Colleg we feel a vital interest in the debate and consider it an important event. Princeton is an American university, and her debaters are loyal siL-Jcuto. The;- havft been touring 'the country and possibly have been preparing the subject for a year. The "Y" men have had but a month to prepare for the battle of wits. Nevertheless they have our confidence and sincerest wishes for success. "JOHN GABRIEL BORK-MAN" VARSITY PLAY Critics Praise Play Highly Is the Third of Varsity Play Series On Wednesday evening, December 2 2, the Varsity Players will present the play, "John Gabriel Borkman," at the Orpheum theatre. This is the third play that the Varsity players have given in Ogden, and those who have seen the first two know the quality of their acting. . v John Gabriel Borkman'' is said to'Jje the best play that they have presented so far. .The lead is played by Moroni Ol-sen; a role that enables him to ex hibit; his wonderful portrayal of characters more than in any preceding play. He is supported by an able cast, most of whom played in '"1 he Witching Hour" and "Passers By." ' These people are all artists in acting and several have played in some of the largest cities of the United States, where they have been successful."John Gabriel Borkman" was presented in Salt Lake and other cities in Utah before packed houses. This play is given here for the benefit of the "Gym." The proceeds will be divided as in the preceding plays, half of it going to the players and the otrer half to the Weber fund for the "Gym.'' It is the duty of Weber students and Ogden people to fill the house. THOTS OF KCKMI5EH Little Brother The longest month of the year. Mother The shortest month of the year. Grandfather The month of my memories. Santa Claus What a nightmare! DSell More Tickets 1 NO. 5 STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC Ward Captains Elected Every Ward Canvassed Many Tickets Sold Can you believe it? Yes its a fact that Weber is putting over the biggest campaign in her history. This campaign is for the purpose of raising one thousand dollars (Weber Student-body quota) for the gym. The method chosen for the means to raise the money, is that of staging two plays at the Orpheum, and packing the house each ni?hr. The play of the first night will be, "The Triumph of Tomorrow," written and directed by Mrs. McKey and played by Weber students. The second evening, "John Gabriel Borkman," will be presented by the Varsity Players. Both plays have been praised highly by good critics, so the quality of the productions is not in doubt. It was first thought impossible and impracticable to try to present two plays on consecutive nights but. Aaron Tracy, the "Tiger of the Faculty'' decided we could do it and we will. Weber students would feel ashamed to fail under the leadership of Mr. Tracy. Everything has been planned well and is working the same way. Friday noon a few students from every ward in Weber county were calleo in room twenty-four where they were treated to chocolates' to appease then-appetite. Brother Tracy there told them the big undertaking Weber was about to push, and asked them if they were behind him. Every student expressed himself as willing to do anything for the .cause, alter which Brother Tracy closed with this sentence, "Students, we must put it over, we can not fail." And we wont. Every student present was askeo to take a certain ward in the com munity, and on 'the following Sunday morning and evening announce the plays. This obtained gratifying results, as, some students even gave emotional orations in the various meetings. Monday morning these students elected a captain from each ward to have charge of the ticket selling in that particular ward. The captain's duty being to assign students to certain blocks, in the ward thereby canvassing every house in Weber county. Tuesday these ticket seller were given an example of how to sell tickets by Mr. Barrett, Budge and Miss Taylor who appeared upon the stage in devotional. This little act created much enthusiasm among the students and Stew Campbell so far. seems to have derived the most benefit from it. The campaign is raging, students, wake up! Get out and sell some tickets; display your loyalty to the Purple and White; and as the "Tiger" says, "We cannot fail." Mr. Blaylock in American History. "Which way does the Niagara Falls flow?" Wernald Johns, "Down."

Who is the world's favourite Bond?
George Lazenby
When Connery quit the Bond series in 1967, Australian star George Lazenby was cast as his replacement for 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Lazenby only lasted one film before Connery was persuaded to return, and Lazenby's singular effort is usually regarded as a cult favourite as opposed to an outright classic by Bond fans.

What is the Aviation Program at Casper College?
The Aviation Program is a partnership between Casper College and Crosswind Aviation. The program allows students to complete academic coursework and flight training toward an associate's degree in aviation and a commercial pilot's license. The primary goal is to provide a curriculum that will lead to future employment in commercial aviation.
Crosswind Aviation is a flight school located at Natrona County International Airport in Casper, WY. Crosswind Aviation has a fleet of five aircraft and three full time instructors to meet every student's flying needs.
Academic coursework takes place at Casper College. Students are required to schedule three flight sessions per week, which are scheduled around school as well as work schedules. Students will meet with a Crosswind Aviation instructor upon enrollment and set their schedule for that semester. Full-time students should complete the program at a lower cost than competitor flight schools in four semesters and be prepared for employment as a commercial pilot.
What is the outlook for pilots?
Pilots are employed by flight schools, charter services, transport companies, business, government, and commercial airlines. According to the US Department of Labor website (www.bls.gov): "In May 2006, median annual earnings of airline pilots, copilots, and flight engineers were $141,090." As well, the Department of Labor indicates that the job market should grow nine to 17 percent for the next decade. Possible career positions include agricultural pilot, airline pilot, corporate pilot, air taxi pilot, flight instructor, and charter service pilot.
Educational Opportunities
Aviation classes are held at the airport, where students can enjoy the exciting atmosphere of flying. Students are welcome to hang out at the flight school, which often lends itself to opportunities to observe maintenance, get extra flying time in, or become an active part of the department. If your dream is to fly, you owe it to yourself to visit Casper College and Crosswind Aviation. The best students in aviation are the ones who have "always wanted to fly." If this is your dream, you owe it to yourself to look into it. We have a full staff that can visit with you about your goals in aviation and help you choose the right path for you.
International Students
International students must be a US citizen in order to enroll in the flight training program. This is in congruance with SEVIS regulations.

Toyota Camry crushed by new crash test
The best-selling car in America and the Prius wagon received the worst safety score an auto safety group had to offer.
The Toyota (TM) Camry looks secure enough with its 5-star government safety rating, but viewed from another angle it seems far more dangerous.
For the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, that angle hits a small part of the bumper on the driver's side at 40 miles per hour. It's what separates the institute's "small overlap" front crash test from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's tests that use 40% of a vehicle's front bumper. It's also the Camry's weakness.
The test earned both the Camry and Toyota's Prius V wagon "poor" ratings from the IIHS, which is financed by the U.S. insurance industry. While the two vehicles still received the group's Top Safety Pick award for their performance in more standard front, rear and side impact test, the new test recreates the crash responsible for a quarter of serious or fatal frontal crashes nationwide.
"With this new test, the Institute has raised the bar again and we will respond to this challenge as we design new vehicles," Toyota said in a statement.
It's a diplomatic response from a company that's been continually battered by this test in 2012. Back in August, Toyota's Lexus ES and IS brands flunked in similar fashion and received the test's worst rating. At least then it was in some pretty good company, as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 also failed. Only Honda's (HMC) Acura TL and Volvo's S60 earned the test's best ratings.
Mercedes was somewhat less taken with the results than Toyota.
"As a leader in automotive safety, we have full confidence in the protection that the C-Class affords its occupants -- and less confidence in any test that doesn't reflect that," it said in a statement at the time.
The more than 373,000 Camrys sold in the U.S. so far this year outnumber the sales of all other cars and are second only to the Ford F-Series truck, which has the Camry beat by more than 200,000 vehicles. The IIHS crash test is still a concern, however, as the four-door sedan version of the rival Honda Accord was one of only two cars to score a "good" rating, the institute's best. The other "good" car, the Suzuki Kizashi, only sold 500 models in November compared to more than 25,000 apiece for the Camry and Accord and won't be sold here next year after bankrupt Suzuki leaves the U.S. market.
Many of the other cars in the test -- including the two-door Accord coupe, the Ford (F) Fusion sedan, Kia Optima, Nissan (NSANY) Altima and Maxima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Mazda6 and Volkswagen Passat -- were considered "acceptable." The Hyundai Sonata, Chevrolet Malibu and Volkswagen (VLKAF) Jetta sedan were only somewhat better than the Camry and Prius V, earning a second-worst "marginal" rating.
Just in case drivers are wondering how much damage a "poor" car takes during this test, the Camry's front wheel was pushed back so far that it bent the passenger compartment footwell inward. It also pushed the whole steering column so far to the right so that the airbag in the steering wheel did almost nothing to protect the crash dummy's head. Side curtain airbags could have helped, if they extended far forward a bit more. The Prius V had similar results, though late deployment rendered airbags almost useless.
"Toyota engineers have a lot of work to do to match the performance of their competitors," Institute president Adrian Lund said in a statement.
Coming off an accelerator-related safety recall two years ago that decimated sales and an earthquake and tsunami in Japan last year that cut supply, Toyota likely won't put off that work for long.

This spring the Pirates are experimenting with sports science technology. Prior to and during games this exhibition season, some Pirates are wearing Zephyr workload monitoring devices. Under select players' jerseys is a tight-fitting, compression shirt, which has a black, circular, detachable electronic device — about the size of a quarter — attached near the center of the chest. The device collects data from a sensor that records players' heartbeats and energy consumption. The device's most noticeable features are blinking green and red lights.

CHARLOTTESVILLE- Behind Romond Deloatch's 4 catches, 152 yards and 2 touchdowns, Phoebus held off South County 20-10 for their 4th straight Group AAA Division 5 state title. The Phantoms become just the second school in VHSL history to do so since the Ronald Curry-led Hampton Crabbers did it back in 1995-1998.
Deloatch scored both Phantom touchdowns. The first was a 15 yard touchdown catch from quarterback, Eric Enderson to Phoebus a 10-0 lead, while the second was the eventual game winning 50 yard connection that broke a 10-10 tie. The Phantoms finish the season at 13-2.

With record
numbers of entries and participating schools, the 2012-13 West Virginia
Statewide Collegiate Business Plan Competition will be one to remember.
And in
addition to winners in each of the two categories at the April 6 finals in
Morgantown, there was a third "winner": a participant whose product, it was announced
at the finals, has received an investment.
The big cash
awards went to two single-person West Virginia University teams: Randi Dove of Oceana,
W.Va., for Randi Dove Farms in the Lifestyle & Innovation category, and
Eric Watkins of Morgantown for Dub V Safe Ride in the Hospitality & Tourism
business plan revolves around an equestrian training tool touted as "the latest
innovation to hit the horse market." The product is rubber banding for
equestrian riders to help keep their feet in the stirrups while correcting
improper foot placement, and it is made for women, men and children.
The business
proposed by Watkins, Dub V Safe Ride, is a designated-driver service that aims
to reduce drinking and driving. The service provides a company driver to go to
the vehicle owned by the impaired driver, place a small scooter in the vehicle,
drive the impaired driver home and then continue on using the scooter
business professionals that comprised our panel of judges were impressed by the
comprehensive plans put together by these two teams," said Steve Cutright,
director of the BrickStreet Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. "This
was the culmination of a wide field of 141 entries by 11 colleges and
universities." The statewide competition is hosted by the BrickStreet Center,
which operates within the WVU College of Business and Economics.
a surprise investment was announced in EZReader, a product outlined in a
business plan by Racheal Fetty and Caleb Greathouse of Glenville State College.
EZ Reader is
an election ballot review reader and represents a quicker and simpler method of
reading election ballots, which helps to ensure that votes are counted easily
and correctly. The $10,000 investment was announced by the INNOVA
Commercialization Group, the private equity investment arm of the West Virginia
High Technology Consortium Foundation in Fairmont. The investment agreement is
contingent upon the company completing due diligence requirements.
Along with
WVU and Glenville State, the 10 finalist teams hailed from Concord University
and Marshall University. Cutright said there were 90 entries in the Lifestyle
& Innovation category and 51 entries in the Hospitality & Tourism
category. A total of 677 teams from 14 different West Virginia colleges and
universities have participated in the seven years of statewide competition.
"There are
some very fundamental goals associated with the business plan competition,"
Cutright said. "Any team that submits an entry should learn things they can
carry with them the rest of their lives. We'd like to see students improve
their business knowledge and lay the foundation for business practices.
Ultimately, we'd like to see these business plans evolve into real businesses
in West Virginia, and so far 22 businesses have come into existence as the
result of this competition."
For the 10
finalist teams, the event spans nearly the entire academic year. Competition
judges said the finalists and all teams submitting entries should be proud of
their work.
"I believe
the business plans we have seen in this competition can become real West
Virginia businesses," said Kristina Oliver, state director of the West Virginia
Small Business Development Center and a judge in the business plan competition.
"That's what this competition is all about. With all of these collaborative
efforts, we are creating a pipeline of entrepreneurs that will, in fact,
contribute to successful economic development for West Virginia."

Sponsored by Senator Bonacic
A625 Sponsored by M of A Weinstein
Status: Senate: Calendar
Assembly Calendar #299
AN ACT to amend the general obligations law, in relation to settlements in tort actions; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto
Dear Elected Official:
S3766/A625 proposes that when medical malpractice lawsuits are brought against two or more defendants (physician or hospital), non-settling defendants must elect prior to trial to reduce their liability by either 1) the balance of the jury award to the plaintiff (e.g., injured patient), or 2) by an equitable share determined by the jury.
New York Hospital Queens strongly opposes this bill because it forces non-settling defendants to make uninformed pre-trial decisions. If this bill is enacted, statewide coverage costs would increase by 5% (or $80 million), according to the Greater New York Hospital Association.
New York Hospital Queens opposes legislation that would require a
non-settling co-defendant to make a gamble prior to trial whether to
reduce his/her liability exposure by either a settling co-defendant's
settlement amount or the settling defendant's proportionate share of
fault. Under current law, a jury verdict is reduced by the greater of
the amount paid by settling defendants or the share of fault allocated
by the jury to a defendant who has already settled.
The current rule makes certain that the plaintiff does not receive more than the amount awarded by a jury. This proposal would instead permit the plaintiff the potential to be unjustly enriched by collecting more than the jury ultimately determined the non-settling defendants' equitable share to be if the settling defendant settles for an amount that exceeds their equitable share of the award. It is of course an opportunity for trial attorneys to receive greater fees as well. Again, given the overwhelmingly expensive cost of purchasing liability insurance coverage, legislation should not be passed that needlessly adds to these costs.

I pointed out that there are no generally accepted definitions for the dimensions, no generally accepted exhaustive list of them and no generally accepted methodologies for measuring each one.

Five Stocks to Benefit from an Improving Jobs Market
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Forget about all the political noise for a second -- it's not useful when it comes to investing in the stock market. A simple analysis of the cold hard numbers shows that the employment situation in the US is getting better, and the recovery is even gaining momentum. There is still a lot of upside room for labor demand in the long term, and these five stocks stand to benefit from it.
September's non-farm payroll report was quite solid: Payrolls came in right in line with estimates at 114,000 but the unemployment rate tumbled to 7.8% from 8.1% in August. The report also included an upward revision of the previous month's jobs numbers to 142,000 from 96,000. In addition, initial jobless claims for the latest week dropped by 30,000 from 369,000 down to 339,000, which was the lowest weekly reading since January 2008.
The American economy suffered one of its worst recessions in history during 2008-2009, and the recovery has been much slower than we would like, especially when it comes to employment. This has been painful, but it also means there is plenty of space for improvement over the next years, and it could have important implications for many stocks.
Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ: ADP) is a clear example of a company that stands to benefit from a better employment situation. The company has a strong position in businesses like payroll management, benefits administration and human resources, activities which should see increased demand from a growing jobs market.
More employment means bigger payrolls for the company´s existing and potential clients, and this makes ADP's services more convenient. Beyond basic payroll processing, ADP sells other outsourced human resources services, such as payroll tax administration, retirement plan administration, health benefit administration, and workers' compensation insurance service. When companies are hiring, their human resources needs become more complex, and ADP is there to provide an efficient solution.
ADP has been expanding rapidly through acquisitions over the last few years, a strategy that has some risks but also makes a lot of sense in an industry in which economic scale, cost advantages and geographic reach can be important assets. The firm recently acquired Ma Foi Consulting, an Indian human resource and payroll management company. These kinds of acquisitions give the company access to high-growth markets and also solidify its position as a global company which can satisfy customers' needs in different locations.
The other big player in the industry is Paychex (NASDAQ: PAYX), which offers similar services but is more focused on small and medium sized clients than ADP. This strategy mans that Paychex is more exposed to cyclical fluctuations in the jobs market; smaller companies are more vulnerable from a financial point of view and they tend to suffer more during recessions.
On the other hand, this also gives Paychex more pricing power and a greater ability to expand operating margins in a positive economic context. The smaller business segment is less penetrated and more dynamic than big corporations, so the company has some interesting growth possibilities ahead of it. Paychex pays a higher dividend yield than ADP at 3.9% versus 2.7% for its competitor.
Due to its higher growth possibilities and dividend yield, Paychex looks like the one with bigger potential for gains over the next years. On the other hand, ADP is safer because of its size advantages, economies of scale and wider diversification. Unless they get into a destructive competitive war with negative effects on profitability, both companies look well positioned for gains from an improving work market.
Robert Half International (NYSE: RHI) is another company which should benefit from higher demand in the jobs market. Revenue at Robert Half has benefited from temporary services as corporations fill immediate needs with temporary employees while reassessing longer-term hiring plans. Longer term, as the U.S. shifts from a goods-producing economy to one that is more service-oriented, the company's niche expertise in professional staffing could take advantage of this dynamic. Robert Half pays a 2.4% yield.
Manpower (NYSE: MAN) is involved in staffing services, and it has a strong competitive position in unskilled labor for the industrial and construction sectors. The company has a huge international presence: Manpower makes more than 90% of revenues outside of the US via its nearly 4,000 offices in 82 countries. The dark side of this geographical diversification is the company's considerable exposure to the complicated Eurozone region. The company yields a 2.4% in dividends, and it has some serious upside potential once the global construction sector starts showing sustainable improvement.
LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) should also benefit from an improving jobs market. The professional networking site makes more than 50% of its revenues from hiring solutions, so a stronger labor market would mean more demand for these services from corporations in the search for talent. Also, premium services sold to individuals could arguably do better too, as a more dynamic jobs market makes a premium subscription to LinkedIn a potentially more profitable investment.
LinkedIn is a very exciting company; it has found an unmatchable way to monetize its user base in a much more efficient way than Facebook and other social networks. The biggest drawback here is the price tag; shares of LinkedIn trade at a truly nose bleeding P/E ratio above 900. The company has remarkable disruptive potential, but there is little room for disappointment at current valuation levels.
Companies linked to labor demand have been suffering from a lackluster market for a long time, but the numbers are looking materially better lately. The jobs recovery is gaining momentum, and it has a lot of room to run, just like these stocks.

The Energy Information Administration said Oct. 21 it will begin issuing monthly reports to provide region-specific information on production trends, new well productivity, rig efficiency and decline rates at existing wells in shale gas and oil areas.
The first report will be issued Oct. 22.
One of the regions to be included in the report is the Marcellus Shale area. The Utica shale is not included.
In 2011-12, the six regions in the report accounted for 90 percent of domestic oil production growth and virtually all domestic natural gas production growth, according to the EIA.
The Drilling Productivity Report metrics are intended to be more informative than traditional indicators such as simple counts of oil-directed and gas-directed drilling rigs in use, according to the EIA.

FIU coach Ron Turner announced Tuesday that sophomore EJ Hilliard would start at quarterback Saturday against East Carolina instead of redshirt junior Jake Medlock.
This is the first time Hilliard will start over Medlock when Medlock has been healthy.
Turner made sure to say he wasn't laying blame on Medlock for the team's 1-6 record this season, but that the entire team was responsible and he was just trying to give the team a spark.
Colimon out
Sophomore linebacker Davison Colimon will be away from the team for another game while he's dealing with family issues in Palm Beach County.
Fifth-year senior linebacker Derrick Jones Jr. will start again. Senior linebacker Markeith Russell, who left last Saturday's game on crutches, should be recovered in time for this Saturday, Turner said.

A year after an EF-3 tornado tore through their city, residents of Center Point are still cleaning up the damage.
The tornado cut through downtown Center Point, causing damage to 350 homes and 60 businesses in the city. It eventually pushed on through to the city of Clay, causing more damage as it traveled over 15 miles. More than 100 people were reported injured and two people was killed.
In Center Point, there are still signs of damage. Building with holes are blue tarps over roofs are not uncommon. Mayor Tom Henderson says the city has spent $550,000 on the clean up so far and currently has $18 million in construction contracts. He says this has brought in around $390,000 in revenue for the city.
Henderson says citizens can expect to see changes coming this week. He says bids are getting ready for the rest of the storm cleanup and he hopes to have it completed in 4-5 months. Additionally, a crew will begin this week to clear debris from the right-of-way.
According to Henderson, the lack of FEMA funds has not helped Center Point or the other cities affected by the January 23, 2012 tornado.
"The federal rules are that you have to have six and a half million dollars worth of damage, debris damage, statewide in order to get that (FEMA funding). The state didn't meet that threshold, so we were not declared a disaster area," Henderson told FOX6 News.
In Trussville's "Pilgrim's Nest" subdivision, every house on one street
was flattened, damaged or destroyed. A builder has come in and finished
three homes that are now for sale. Several families, however, have chosen to move away and not rebuild.
The tornado completely destroyed the Center Point Elementary School. The principal of the school says that crews are removing the mangled steel from the top of the building this week. She adds that the current plans are to rebuild the school exactly as it was before the tornado.
