This document summarizes a presentation on phosphorus loading trends in Lake Erie. It finds that while point source phosphorus loads have significantly decreased due to sewage treatment upgrades, nonpoint source loads from agricultural runoff have not declined as sharply and show more annual variability. Specifically, the Maumee and Sandusky Rivers in Ohio export high levels of dissolved reactive phosphorus due to accumulation in surface soils under no-till practices. Reducing soil test phosphorus levels could help lower phosphorus losses to runoff.

View Summary Manpower Inc. Withdraws Fourth Quarter 2008 Guidance 12/22/2008finance12
Manpower Inc. withdrew its fourth quarter 2008 guidance due to continued declines in the global labor markets and changes in foreign currencies. The company experienced a 20% revenue decline in the two months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the prior year. As a result of the weaker operating environment, Manpower Inc. will take restructuring charges related to employee severance and office closures in the fourth quarter. Despite the economic challenges, the company's liquidity and financial strength remains strong with $675 million in cash and $182 million in net debt as of the end of November.
The document is the 1999 annual report of Manpower Inc. It discusses the company's financial highlights for 1999, including increased systemwide sales, revenues, and operating margin compared to previous years. It summarizes the company's strategies to focus on providing workforce solutions, investing in technology, improving efficiency, and expanding in professional and specialty staffing. The report discusses how these strategies helped drive growth while improving profitability in 1999.
Manpower provided staffing solutions for a variety of clients around the world in 2000. Some key examples include:
1) Manpower Venezuela used a performance-based compensation model to win staffing contracts for three call centers in Venezuela.
2) In Australia, the Defense Force outsourced its military recruitment to Manpower due to their ability to provide a full-service solution.
3) In North Carolina, Manpower's workforce program helped IBM achieve significant contractor staffing cost savings.
This document highlights Manpower's global reach and ability to customize staffing solutions to meet the diverse needs of clients around the world.
The document is Manpower Inc.'s 2001 annual report. It summarizes that in 2001:
- Systemwide sales decreased 5.3% to $11.8 billion due to a weaker global economy and strengthening US dollar.
- Revenues decreased 3.3% and operating profit declined 23.6% as revenue growth slowed but investments continued.
- Earnings per share decreased 27% to $1.62 primarily due to currency exchange impacts. The company remained focused on providing skilled employees and workforce solutions to customers during economic uncertainty.
The document discusses Manpower's performance and strategies during a period of economic uncertainty in 2002. It summarizes that Manpower strengthened its financial position, improved efficiency, expanded services, and increased customer relationships despite challenging market conditions. Manpower emerged stronger and confident in its leadership position. The speed of work increased pressure on companies, but Manpower provided flexibility and quality service to help customers.
This document contains a long list of place names from around the world arranged in no clear order. The places span multiple continents and countries, including locations in France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and many others.
The document is Manpower Inc.'s 2004 annual report. It discusses Manpower's 57-year history of providing temporary staffing solutions and how it has expanded its services over time. It also discusses how the world of work is constantly changing and how Manpower continues to adapt its solutions to help clients with their HR strategies and market competition. The report features perspectives from clients, including IBM's vice president of global talent discussing how IBM partners with Manpower for just-in-time talent management to source skills globally on demand.
This document is Manpower Inc.'s 2005 annual report. It summarizes the company's financial performance for 2005, noting revenues exceeded $16 billion, a 7.7% increase over 2004. Net income increased 8% to $260 million. It also discusses strategic moves taken in 2005 to expand operations in emerging markets like China and India. Finally, it describes the company's rebranding effort, launching a new logo and tagline - "What do you do?" - to reflect its expanded services beyond temporary staffing.
Manpower Inc. reported record financial results in 2006. Revenues increased 10.8% to $17.6 billion and net earnings increased 53% to $398 million. The company's stock price rose 61% in 2006, outperforming the broader market. Operating profit increased 24% to $532 million due to growth in business and effective cost management across regions. The company has transitioned to focus on providing a wider range of employment services beyond temporary staffing alone. The rebranding launched in 2006 aligned the company's image with this strategic transition and positioned Manpower for continued strong performance.
Manpower Inc. had record revenues and earnings in 2007. Revenues increased 17% to $20.5 billion while net earnings grew 22% to $484.7 million. The company has diversified its services over the past decade to include specialty services beyond temporary staffing, such as permanent recruitment and leadership development. This has improved profit margins and reduced sensitivity to economic cycles. Investments in new services like recruitment process outsourcing have positioned Manpower for continued growth.

Lecture slide titled Fraud Risk Mitigation, Webinar Lecture Delivered at the Society for West African Internal Audit Practitioners (SWAIAP) on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
1. March 29, 2006
Dear Raytheon Stockholder:
I am pleased to invite you to attend Raytheon’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Wednesday,
May 3, 2006. The meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City,
1250 South Hayes Street, Arlington, Virginia. For your convenience, we are pleased to offer a live webcast
(audio only) of the annual meeting at www.raytheon.com.
This booklet includes the formal notice of the meeting and the proxy statement. The proxy statement tells
you about the agenda and procedures for the meeting. It also describes how the Board of Directors operates and
provides information about our director candidates.
Corporate governance and ethics continued to be a key theme for the Board in 2005. Throughout the year,
we looked for opportunities to improve our practices against a benchmark of the best. Key governance initiatives
adopted during 2005 included the declassification of the Board and moving to annual election of all directors
beginning at this annual meeting. Beginning this year, all directors are subject to annual election at each annual
meeting of stockholders. You may remember voting on this important ballot item at last year’s annual meeting.
Another milestone in our governance processes occurred in October 2005, when the Board adopted a
majority voting policy. The policy provides that any nominee for director in an uncontested election who
receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election shall
tender his or her resignation to the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board believes that this step,
together with the other processes that the Board has adopted with respect to director nominations and elections,
ensures a sound and fair election each year.
As part of our commitment to transparency in our public disclosure documents, you will notice some
additional information in this proxy statement with respect to executive compensation. We hope that the
additional information that we have provided you with helps in your understanding of the compensation of our
directors, named executive officers and our executive compensation program.
We encourage you to visit our website, www.raytheon.com, which highlights our business, ethics and
corporate governance practices. You will find there many of the governance and ethics documents that are
summarized in the proxy statement.
I look forward to sharing more information with you about Raytheon at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not
you plan to attend, I encourage you to vote your proxy as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented
at the meeting.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
WILLIAM H. SWANSON
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
