The Barron's 500 is a unique ranking of the largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. and Canada, as measured by sales in each company's latest fiscal year. Prepared by HOLT, a unit of Credit Suisse, it seeks to identify companies with superior financial performance. HOLT compares the 500 companies using three equally weighted measures: sales growth in the latest fiscal year, adjusted for divestitures; median three-year return on investment, based on a cash-flow calculation the firm calls CFROI, and the change in CFROI in the latest fiscal year relative to the three-year median. (For a detailed explanation, see below.)
Barron's 500 Methodolgy
The Barron's 500 is an exclusive ranking of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. and Canada, as measured by sales in the latest fiscal year. The survey is prepared by HOLT, a unit of Credit Suisse, which grades and ranks all companies on the basis of three equally weighted measures: median three-year return on investment, based on a proprietary cash-flow metric called CFROI; the change in CFROI in the latest fiscal year relative to the three-year median, and sales growth in the latest fiscal year, adjusted for divestitures (and, in the case of cigarette companies, for taxes that are collected and remitted to the government.) HOLT's CFROI metric strips out the effects of inflation and adjusts for accounting distortions. For financial companies, the firm calculates cash-flow return on tangible equity. All data are based on the companies' latest reported fiscal year, which for most is 2011. Each company is graded in three categories. The top quintile gets an A, the bottom, an F. HOLT then calculates the total grade-point average, or GPA, for each company, with 4.0 the highest. Ties are broken using one-year CFROI relative to the three-year median. The Barron's 500 excludes companies restating financial data or operating under bankruptcy protection. To identify companies with especially cheap shares, Barron's asked FactSet to re-rank this year's list by price/earnings ratio, based on profit estimates for the current fiscal year. "Combing the Barron's 500 for Underpriced Shares" focuses on the 30 components with the lowest P/Es.
Results of the Barron's 500 don't necessarily reflect the views of Credit Suisse analysts.

American Airlines' parent, AMR, was disqualified when it filed for bankruptcy protection. Other companies, such as BJ's Wholesale Club, were acquired. In all, 32 names that were on the 2011 list are absent this year, replaced by newcomers such as CF Industries.
Ascending to the top of the list is no easy task. To receive an A this year, companies had to log sales growth of 22% in their latest fiscal year. For industrials, the maximum cash-flow return on investment was 15%. For financials, for which HOLT calculates cash-flow return on tangible equity, 12% was tops. Only four companies managed to earn straight A's in our latest ranking, half as many as in 2011.
Here is a closer look at some companies that rose to prominence on the list.
CF Industries Holdings
For CF Industries, 2011 was the year when everything went right. The price of nitrogen fertilizer, its main product, jumped 25%, and the cost of natural gas, one of its largest expenses, fell 30%. How convenient, then, that CF had purchased Terra in April 2010, for $4.7 billion. "We essentially doubled our size as a nitrogen producer, and we did it at the right time," says Stephen Wilson, chairman and CEO.
CF had nitrogen plants in Louisiana and Alberta, Canada, and Terra had plants in Ontario, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Iowa. The combined company boasts more production points, shorter shipping distances to clients, improved logistics, and better customer service. "It was an absolutely superb fit," says Wilson.
Stephen Wilson, chairman and CEO of CF Industries Bob Stefko for Barron's
The deal made CF the largest nitrogen producer in North America and the second-largest in the world. Revenue jumped 54% last year, to $6 billion, and earnings per share surged 312% to $21.98. The company reported first-quarter profit Thursday, and that, too, impressed. Revenue rose 30% to $1.5 billion, compared with the year-earlier level, and earnings were up 42% to $5.54 a share.
CF quadrupled its dividend last August to $1.60 a share, for a yield of 0.8%. At the same time, it announced a $1.5 billion stock buyback, and a plan to invest up to $1.5 billion to improve and expand its factories.
At a recent $186, CF shares are up 43% in the past year and almost 140% over two years, although they fell about 7% Friday on fears that fertilizer prices in the current cycle have peaked. Analysts see full-year profit falling in 2013 to $20.58, as a result.
Michael Cox, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, is more bullish than the consensus, with an Overweight rating and a profit target of $22.72 for 2013. Natural-gas prices have stayed lower than expected, and the agricultural cycle "tends to be a long one," he says.
Wilson declined to comment on the direction of commodity prices or on the company's earnings. But he noted that fertilizer demand typically grows by 2% to 3% per year, spurred by population growth and greater demand for more protein-rich diets. Corn is a key animal feed, and corn production requires fertilizer. Wilson notes the ratio of corn inventory to use is "historically low," and says it will take "many years of strong production to get that number up to where it has been."
CF sells for eight times this year's expected earnings of $23.70 a share.

This year, comparisons will be tough for the company, which sells cigarettes and tobacco products outside the U.S. But analysts still see earnings growing 9%, to $5.29 a share. In general, Philip Morris aims to boost annual volume by 1%, and revenue by 4% to 6% on a constant-currency basis. The company aims to have operating income improve by 6% to 8% a year, leading to earnings-per-share growth of 10% to 12%, says CEO Louis Camilleri.
Philip Morris has a stable of strong brands, the largest of which is Marlboro, which kicks in about 33% of cigarette volume per year. Other brands include Merit, Parliament, Virginia Slims, L&M, Chesterfield, Bond Street, and Lark. "We have seven of the top 15 brands in the world," Camilleri says.
The company is growing at double-digit rates in emerging markets, but first-quarter operating income, excluding the impact of currency, rose only 5% in the European Union. Asia accounted for 40% of operating income in the period; the EU, 30%, and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 23%. "Asia has been very much a growth driver for us," says Camilleri.
And that's despite the fact that Philip Morris International doesn't sell cigarettes in China, where the market is controlled by a state-run company.
Tobacco stocks used to trade at a discount to the broader market due to the threat of litigation. Now international cigarette makers trade at a premium, while those with U.S. litigation risk have lower multiples. Philip Morris shares trade for 17 times this year's expected earnings of $5.29 a share, compared with 14.5 times for Altria and 13 times for the S&P 500.
Qualcomm made a bet on its technology that has paid off in spades. Every 3G and 4G smartphone in the world has a chip sold by the San Diego company, or a chip using technology licensed from it. Last year, Qualcomm sold 483 million chips, up from 99 million in 2003.
While the market for traditional cellphones is maturing, the smartphone market is growing at a furious pace. In the first quarter, smartphone shipments climbed 41% on an annualized basis, to 145 million units, according to Strategy Analytics. Global smartphone shipments are set to rise by 35% for the full year, to 44% of the total cell-phone market, according to IHS.
Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm Courtesy of Qualcomm
Qualcomm's revenue jumped 36% in the fiscal year ended September, to $15 billion. About two-thirds of sales came from chips that the company sells, and the other third reflected royalties. But because royalties are highly profitable, they contributed about two-thirds of earnings.
Qualcomm recently reported profit that beat estimates, but management provided disappointing guidance for the June quarter. Qualcomm outsources the production of its chips and is having difficulty meeting demand.
Insufficient supply could plague the company for the next quarter or so, but Wall Street's fiscal 2012 consensus earnings estimate hasn't budged from $3.76 a share, which would reflect an 18% gain from the prior year. The company has told the Street to expect earnings of $3.61 to $3.76 a share. Qualcomm aims to deliver double-digit revenue and profit growth through 2015, CEO Paul Jacobs said in an e-mail to Barron's.
Qualcomm trades for $61, or 16 times expected earnings. Exclude the company's $14.75 a share in net cash and investments, and the price/earnings multiple falls to 12.5.
Betting that the future lies in smart devices beyond the cellphone, Qualcomm purchased Atheros Communications last year for $3.1 billion. Atheros' technology will help it expand into tablets and home-electronics devices. Qualcomm sees a world in which its chips are added to all sorts of devices to enable communication. "We have the opportunity to deliver a unique set of technologies for the expanding Internet of everything," wrote Jacobs.
Intel finds itself just two spots behind Qualcomm in the Barron's 500. The positioning is ironic, considering that each company is in the other's sights. Intel would like to make more chips for mobile devices, while Qualcomm would like to invade the market for computer chips.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini has said he would be disappointed if his company isn't a major player in the smartphone business in a few years. The company has ramped up the development timeline for its low-power line of microprocessors, dubbed Atom. "We decided to accelerate the pace at which we bring that leading-edge performance to the chips that are going into the most demanding applications for mobile," Otellini recently told Barrons.com.
Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel Courtesy of Intel
That said, it was the tech giant's traditional business -- making chips for computers, netbooks, and servers -- that landed it near the top of the Barron's 500. Revenue jumped 24% last year, to $54 billion; operating income rose 18%, to $18.4 billion, and earnings per share jumped 25%, to $2.53.
"I don't think last year's performance was about the snapback from the recession," Otellini contended. "It was really for us about enterprise demand rebounding. The consumer still hasn't fully recovered. It has really been about emerging markets, where income levels are rising. Brazil is now the third-largest market in the world for PCs."
Intel has continued to pull ahead of competitors in the PC market. It has put more graphics on processors, and the average selling price has gone up, says Richard Whittington, a former semiconductor analyst who owns the stock and now covers the defense industry for Drexel Hamilton. He's hopeful that Intel will successfully reduce the power consumption of its chips to make them attractive to manufacturers of portable devices. And he believes that consumers will want their portable devices to have access to Microsoft Office products via Intel's chips.
Intel is also becoming a manufacturer for hire. Netronome announced in April that it will use Intel Custom Foundry services to produce its network processors. Some have speculated that Intel might even produce processors for Apple.
Intel's modest price/earnings ratio of 12 suggests that investors are somewhat skeptical of its new ventures. A 3% dividend yield could force some to reconsider.
Few financial companies have landed near the top of the Barron's 500 in recent years, but insurer MetLife cracked the top 10 this year, moving up to No. 9 from No. 124. Its monster advance owes in part to the $16.3 billion acquisition of American Life Insurance Co. (Alico) from American International Group AIG -1.2551581843191197% American International Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD57.43 -0.73 -1.2551581843191197% /Date(1429304411082-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7456833 AFTER HOURS USD57.43 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 126975 P/E Ratio 10.95344357345845 Market Cap 77758495830.6793 Dividend Yield 0.8706251088281386% Rev. per Employee 981769 More quote details and news » (AIG) in November 2010.
The deal vastly expanded MetLife's international reach, placing the insurer in markets growing faster than the U.S. "Alico gave MetLife an opportunity to transform itself…into a truly global insurance powerhouse with operations in nearly 50 countries," CEO Steve Kandarian wrote in an e-mail to Barron's.
Even so, MetLife's shares, at $34, seem cheap. They are trading for just 6.5 times this year's expected earnings, although earnings are likely to grow 8% over the next year.
Steve Kandarian, CEO of MetLife Ludovic/Redux
One issue weighing on MetLife is today's low interest rates, which limit what the company's investment portfolio can earn. "Investors should know that we have positioned our company to weather a protracted low-interest-rate environment," Kandarian wrote. "We started purchasing interest-rate floors and other hedges against low interest rates in 2004, when the 10-year Treasury was trading above 4%. Our interest-rate protection doesn't just last for a few years, but beyond 2020."
MetLife flunked the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review test, or "stress test," this year. The Fed mandates that minimum risk-based capital should be 8% of total assets, and estimated that MetLife's would be 6%. Flunking the test has precluded the company from increasing dividends or buying back shares.
Kandarian has since decided to sell the MetLife Bank unit, which he says "represented just 2%" of the company's operating earnings. He added that "we didn't believe it was appropriate for the overwhelming majority of our business to be governed by regulations written for banks."
Nigel Daily, a Morgan Stanley analyst with an Overweight rating and a $46 price target on MetLife, believes the company will relinquish its bank charter around July and proceed with stock buybacks in the second half. Now might be a good time to get ahead of the action.

Early childhood funding stays flat in governor's budget
Jan 11, 2013 | By Lillian Mongeau | 1 Comment
After years of funding cuts to early childhood programs, Governor Jerry Brown's proposed budget would keep funding levels nearly the same as last year.
"There was no restoration of the cuts from recent years, but no additional cuts," said Rachel Ehlers of the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO).
Brown's budget allocates $2.2 billion, including designated federal funds, to cover child care and state preschool for 340,000 children in the 2013-2014 fiscal year, said Ehlers. Some funding would be moved around within the CalWORKS child care program for low-income children, but it would not affect the number of children served or the overall funding available.
Scott Moore, senior policy analyst for the advocacy group Preschool California, said not restoring the lost funding was a missed opportunity. "That's the number one glaring omission in the budget," Moore said. "What we know from research is that when we invest in early childhood education, that's the best investment we can make."
Early childhood education programs have been cut by about $1 billion since the 2008-2009 fiscal year and now serve 110,000 fewer children than they did before the recession, according to the LAO. Moore said holding funding steady at its current rate does not address the need for expanded child care and preschool programs in the state.
Despite the budget cutbacks, California spends more per child on early education than most states, according to the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER). Sixteen percent of the state's 3-year-olds and 32 percent of its 4-year-olds attended some form of state- or federally-funded preschool in 2011, according to the institute.
Not all early childhood programs are dependent on allocations from the state's general fund. Many are funded through First 5 California, the commission created by voter initiative Proposition 10. The 1998 initiative added a 50-cent-per-pack tax on cigarettes that generates approximately $590 million annually. "It's allocated, it's voter approved," said Lindsay VanLaningham, spokesperson for First 5 California, referring to Prop. 10 funding. "The governor really can't change that."
Preschool California's Moore is not ready to accept the governor's proposal as final. He said he "looked forward" to working with the Legislature to push for restoration of the lost funding. "This is our youngest and most vulnerable population," Moore said. "They've been tremendously hurt over the last four years and we need to take care of our youngest children."
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson expressed a similar view Thursday. While applauding Gov. Brown for beginning to restore what K-12 schools have lost, he said, "I do believe that early education programs — cut deeply in recent years — deserve to share in this recovery as well."

At 6:30 AM on Saturday morning, July 10th, over 600 riders of the MS Bike-a-thon departed the Mechanicsburg Area High School for a 50 to 100 mile journey to the Gettysburg College. The day started out with light rain showers which made the roads quite slick. Our club worked with the Central Pennsylvania Repeater Association (CPRA) in 21 August 1999 Harrisburg to man the 5 Rest Stops along the course. We also helped provide communications to Medical vehicles, Situation vehicles, and The time is 4PM, this will give you time to get your communications to some of the SAG wagons (vehicles that transported Saturday chores finished and then come to the corn roast exhausted/injured riders to the next rest stop if they were unable to and relax.

Page 5 The only things I could theorize that could cause this phenomenon are aircraft…. probably out of Philadelphia (the fine lines occur too Receiving Aircraft Reflections often for it to be Harrisburg)… also, the beacon is in the Philadelphia area. To test this hypothesis, I ran the same test after 2 on 432 MHz AM. A time where there are virtually no flights out of Philadelphia This resulted in a pure fundamental trace with no diverging or By Dick Goodman, WA3USG converging finer lines at all. Since then I have found several sites on the internet devoted to aircraft and meteor reflections. Most of these sites use FM stations as the illuminating source. When detecting meteors by this method, they manifest themselves as a much steeper and shorter line, which would indicate a much greater and radical Doppler shift as a result of their high velocity (>40 miles/second). While aircraft reflections are present for the great majority of the time (before midnight), meteor reflections are considerably more rare and only occur when the geometry of the beacon, meteor, and listener are in the correct configuration. You can replicate this experiment yourself either on 2 meters or 70 CM by using propagation beacons. The free Spectrogram software is available on the internet at the Web page listed below: http://www.monumental.com/rshorne/gram.html One of the most fascinating aspects of Amateur Radio projects is that they *** Note: See the excellent review of the Spectrogram program in sometimes yields results that are not only unexpected, but can be more interesting the August 1999 issue of QST. then the predicted outcome. Such is the phenomenon that I describe here. There is a 70 CM beacon located in the Philadelphia area. It transmits a carrier interspersed with CW, continually, 24 hours per day. It's frequency is 432.295 Trustee's Report Continued from page 3: MHz. Most of the time, I can hear it adequately. However, there are times when soon. Keep your ears open for dates and times. Don't it fades down in the noise and is inaudible. forget the corn roast is fast approaching.

Don't Wait! they need a here in Mechanicsburg, would be an excellent bench mark to test this software. The head count to order food. I'm looking forward to another software functions by feeding the audio output of a receiver into the input of the sound card in your PC. The computer then graphically displays the entire audio great get together at the club site. Again, THANKS to passband of the receiver. In the figure above, a screen shot from my monitor, time everyone who makes all of this possible. is represented on the horizontal axis, travelling from right to left. The frequency is represented on the vertical axis. For this session, I set the parameters so 400 Hz 73 Chuck was the bottom, 900 Hz was the top. Therefore from bottom to top I am displaying a passband of 500 Hz. It is possible to display from 0 Hz to about 20 KHz if desired. Signal strength is represented by the color of the display. These colors may be calibrated precisely in dB if desired. In this session, light blue was a weak signal and red was strong. There is also a graph at the top of the display that indicates the Availability of Keystone VHF Club Caps & relative maximum signal strength at that point in time. Shirts I started the software and tuned in the 432 MHz beacon so that the beat note was at By John Shaffer, W3SST precisely 600 Hz. A line appeared scrolling across the screen. This line is a graphic representation of the signal. Placing the cursor on the line gives a readout of its beat We need at least 24 orders for caps and at least this many frequency in Hz. If you look toward the center of the screen, you can tell when the orders for T-Shirts. The T-Shirts may be a mix of Golf beacon transitions from a pure carrier to keyed CW. Many times, the line will actually form dots and dashes and you can clearly read the CW this way. Several or plain as long as the caption & insignia is the same two times, the signal just about audibly faded away but the program was always able to colors of the same printing. I suggest that the content of detect it. the printing be our club logo perhaps with the name spelled out just below or above. We need to get a vote of Then I noticed something a bit strange. Above and below the fundamental beat note line, were finer, fainter lines (see figure). I noticed that if I changed the tuning of the membership who is interested. the receiver, which caused the fundamental beat note line to move, the fainter lines also moved… but maintained a relationship with the main beat note. Many times the The hats would be $5.00 each finer lines started above or below the fundamental line, and then intersected the The plain T-Shirts would be $10.00 each fundamental line, and eventually faded away. By closely listening to the signal by The Golf shirts would be $12.00 each ear, I found that I could actually hear these "multiple signals" if the finer lines, which represented them were heavy (strong) enough. Colors would be available but we would need to be careful that the color wouldn't interfere or clash with the This looked to me like Doppler shift. Depending on the relationship of the finer line to the fundamental, I theorized that it was caused by an object, starting far away, printing. then coming close enough to generate an echo from the beacon Doppler shifted in frequency proportional to its' velocity. When the fine line is above the fundamental Please call John Shaffer, W3SST at 764-4805, or e-mail (higher in frequency), it is approaching the beacon at a speed proportional to it's to firstname.lastname@example.com in reference to quantity, type, color, Dopper shift. When the finer line intersects the fundamental line, there is at that size, etc. point no Doppler shift in relation to the beacon frequency. This would mean the object is neither moving closer or further from the beacon… it is at its' closest point If we get enough orders then we can start collecting of approach (which still could be many miles from the beacon). As the finer line drops below the fundamental line, the object is moving away from the beacon at a checks speed proportional to its' Doppler shift.

Chairman Conaway: TPA is Important for Agriculture
Today, House Agriculture Committee Chairman K. Michael Conaway (R-TX) issued the following statement on the introduction of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Oregon Congressman Bob Smith, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, today announced that he has requested that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers extend the comment period on it's proposal to breach southern Oregon's Elk Creek Dam three months beyond the current November 17 deadline.
Smith, who has scheduled a hearing of the House of Representatives' Committee on Agriculture for this Thursday, November 13 in Medford, Oregon to consider the Corps' proposal, said the general public simply needed more time to study the $8 million plan, in a letter to the Corps' District Engineer, Colonel Robert Slusar.
"As you know, there is much controversy surrounding the Corps' plan to breach Elk Creek Dam. To address the many concerns of my constituents and those affected by such an action I have scheduled a hearing in Medford, Oregon on Thursday, November 13. It is my hope that this public airing of information and concerns will give affected parties in Oregon a chance to learn more about the Corps' plan to effectively dismantle a dam in which the federal government has already invested 108 million of their hard-earned tax dollars," Smith wrote Slusar.
"I believe the complexity of the question of whether or not to breach the dam necessitates that more time be allowed for my constituents and the local government agencies to consider for themselves whether the Corps' proposed action is the best alternative for Elk Creek Dam and the surrounding communities," Smith wrote.
The entire text of Smith's letter to Slusar follows this release.
Smith represents Oregon's Second Congressional District, which includes most of eastern, central, and southern Oregon - including Jackson County -- in the U.S. House of Representatives
