Some interesting plays on the list. Ticketmaster (TKTM) has agreed to be acquired by Live Nation for about it's current value, so it can probably be discarded. A number of construction stocks on the lists, including Perini (PCR) and EMCOR (EME), both of which may benefit from government stimulus spending in the relatively near term.
