The Barron's 500 is our annual salute to companies that have done the best job of growing their businesses. In some cases, growth owes largely to timely and well-executed acquisitions. In others, impressive organic growth has been buttressed by an improving economy.

While there is no guarantee that such good performance will continue, landing at the top of our ranking, now in its 14th year, is an acknowledgment of a superb recent track record, and a bow to the managers who engineered it.

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.
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.
Philip Morris International
Philip Morris International's PM 0.7909604519774012% Philip Morris International Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD98.12 0.77 0.7909604519774012% /Date(1461963722453-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3894327 AFTER HOURS USD98.12 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 373989 P/E Ratio 23.141509433962263 Market Cap 152210031677.666 Dividend Yield 4.158173664900122% Rev. per Employee 326384 More quote details and news » stock has been smoking ever since its 2008 split from Altria, MO 0.8361472905611834% Altria Group Inc.

The shares have climbed 30% in the past year, to $90, in tandem with rising cigarette prices and higher sales volume.
Philip Morris, which garnered seventh place in this year's Barron's 500, up from No. 34 last year, grew revenue (excluding excise taxes) by 14% in 2011, to $31 billion. Operating income rose 19% to $13.6 billion, and earnings per share were up 24%, to $4.85. Earnings benefited by 15 cents a share from the Japanese tsunami, which disrupted operations at Japan Tobacco (2914.Japan), leaving Philip Morris and British American Tobacco (BTI) to fill the void.
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.
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.
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 -0.017911517105498837% American International Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD55.82 -0.01 -0.017911517105498837% /Date(1461963612663-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7482907 AFTER HOURS USD55.82 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 308106 P/E Ratio 39.6956336225288 Market Cap 63289665520.6857 Dividend Yield 2.2930849158007884% Rev. per Employee 878464 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.
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.

The Toronto stock market was slightly higher Friday morning, capping a losing week as traders took profits amid a new round of concerns about the U.S. economy.
The S&P/TSX composite index climbed 17.93 points to 15,048.67.
The Canadian dollar was up 0.06 of a cent to 93.58 cents (U.S.).
New York indexes were mainly lower as U.S. traders looked to consumer sentiment data coming out later in the morning.
The Dow Jones industrials shed 19.07 points to 16,827.06, the Nasdaq was up 1.23 points to 4,380.27, while the S&P 500 index slipped 1.71 points to 1,955.51.
Traders looked for the University of Michigan's widely watched consumer sentiment index to rise to 81.9 from a flash estimate of 81.2.
That could help reassure investors rattled during this week by a much greater than expected U.S. gross domestic product contraction of 2.9 per cent, almost a full point higher than expected. Markets had initially shrugged off the data on expectations the American economy would jump ahead in the second quarter as the deterioration was largely blamed on severe winter weather. But economic concerns surfaced Thursday as data showed a worse than expected reading on consumer spending and consumption.
The report also sparked concerns about whether the economy can take the strain of higher interest rates, particularly after St. Louis Federal Reserve president James Bullard said markets don't realize how close the central bank is to reaching its targets of low unemployment and stable prices. That prompted speculation the Fed could hike as soon as the first quarter of 2015.
Traders are looking ahead to key economic data next week for reassurance that the economy is indeed on track for a strong second quarter, including the June reading on the manufacturing sector from the Institute for Supply Management and the release Thursday of the U.S. government's employment report for June.
It is also hoped that the flood of corporate earnings reports covering the April-June period will provide reassurance that the economy is improving.
TSX advancers were led by a 0.55 per cent rise in the consumer staples sector as the parent of grocer Sobeys, Empire Co. gained $1.66 to $69.35. The stock had also edged higher Thursday after Empire said it was closing 50 underperforming Sobeys stores, while quarterly earnings beat expectations.
Commodity prices were mixed with September copper ahead one cent at $3.18 (U.S.) a pound and the base metals group was up 0.3 per cent.
The energy component rose 0.08 per cent as August crude gained 11 cents to $105.95 a barrel. Crude prices have declined this week in the wake of the weaker than expected U.S. consumer data and expectations that the sectarian fighting in Iraq won`t spread to the oil-producing south.
The gold sector also edged up 0.08 per cent, while August bullion rose $2.80 to $1,319.80 an ounce.
In corporate news, energy producer Encana has reached an agreement with Alberta-based Jupiter Resources to sell its Bighorn properties in the province for about $1.8-billion. Encana has sold a number of its assets in recent months and is focusing on a half-dozen core growth areas in specific regions. Encana shares slipped a dime to $25.48 (Canadian).
First Quantum Minerals shares were off nine cents to $22.42 as the miner temporarily halted construction activity at its Cobre Panama project due to an illegal work stoppage by some members of its construction workforce. It said the dispute centres around the work roster.
- Encana Corporation$9.58-0.27(-2.74%)

In Wiesel's uncensored Hebrew 'Night' manuscript, unveiled here for the first time, the author expresses desire to take revenge on the Hungarians, lashes out at fellow Jews and describes sexual scenes from the train to Auschwitz.03:47 01.05.16 | 5 comments
If the right of return was given Israel could soon be destroyed as a Jewish homeland. It may leave Israel open to charges of racism but if it is to survive it has to be the case. This said, the racism that exists within Israel where non-Jewish citizens are treated as secondary beings cannot be condoned under any circumstances. In this case, it is not a question of Israel's survival. The best answer to an imperfect situation is 2-states for 2-peoples and an equitable sharing of the land. Who are those who seek a single state? There are the extremists who are so befuddled by their ideological beliefs that somehow they stupidly believe that in such a situation Israel would survive as a Jewish homeland. But the overwhelming majority are people who will at best not care but in most cases will welcome the end of Israel as a Jewish homeland. To me that is an obvious case of racism. It will give the Palestinians a state and deprive the Jews of theirs. Those who favour one group of people over another are racists. 2-states for 2-peoples is the answer and it will eventually happen. An overwhelming majority of Israelis know that is the only answer that can ensure their survival and they are not stupid enough to kill off the state. Kerry has helped Israel face up to its options and within the Jewish community - both in Israel and the diaspora - this message is being repeated more stridently and frequently than ever before. Israelis knew there would come a time when they could no longer bury their heads in the sand and that time seems to be fast approaching.

Iodine is used in a diverse applications by a wide variety of industries. Around half, however, is used in applications directly related to human health, for example X-ray contrast media, iodophors (biocides) and pharmaceuticals. Most of the remainder is used in industrial applications including OPF (Optical Polarizing Film) for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), catalysts, heat stabilisers and the production of fluorine derivatives. Markets for iodine tend to be long-established and mature so show low growth rates. The exception is that for OPF, which has risen from an estimated 200t in 2000 to 3,950t in 2012.The main trade flows of iodine and iodine derivatives are from Chile and Japan to North America and Europe. Asian imports, especially to China, India and South Korea, have become increasingly important over the last decade and exceeded those of North America in 2010 and 2012. In terms of consumption, Asia is the leading region followed by Europe and North America.

I want to again thank you for really going the "extra mile" in taking care of all my concerns: I can't speak highly enough about the efforts you went through to fully address my situation. I've already recommended you to a colleague of mine who I know has an interest in knives, and hopefully he will place an order with you in the future... and, as you can well imagine, I will certainly not hesitate to order with you again in the future, as well as recommend you to others. Your efforts truly give many other companies something to aspire to in terms of customer service. I wish you the best of luck for your company's continued success, as all of you certainly deserve it! Many thanks again, and have a wonderful week!"
Scott Y. from Cranbury, New Jersey

Her name is Ann, she is a Canadian senior citizen and she is quite the adventurer.
I met her in Mazatlan, Mexico, and was immediately impressed with her go-get-'em attitude. Her latest venture is one that deserves to be retold.
Ann and her husband Patrick were on a jungle trek in Burma when she was bitten by a red-tailed, green snake. She had been sleeping on banana leaves on the forest floor but had awakened early to sit by the fire to watch the stars. That's when it happened. She felt the sting on her ankle and looked down to see the asp's triangular head at her feet.
Her alarming cries woke the native guides who sprang into action, first killing the snake with their machetes and then tending to Ann's leg. This particular snake was so venomous, Ann was told, that she had eight minutes to live unless emergency aid was given.
Using vines from nearby branches, the guides created a tourniquet. Then they lanced the wound with their machete and applied to it a hastily-made opium paste. Before Ann knew it, she was hoisted upon an elephant and lead by a drug-smoking guide to a village five hours away, her husband and the rest of the entourage following behind. Ann told me the guide repeatedly offered her a hit from his opium pipe in order to deaden the pain, but she refused. I'm not so sure that would have been my response.
Once in the village, the head shaman declared an exorcism was needed because Ann had brought an evil spirit into their territory. A pig was killed, its head severed, and a fire was built to sacrifice the pig on the hastily-built altar.
Ann then was told that in order to destroy the evil that had entered her, she had to eat the raw heart of the pig. If she refused, all 500 of the local villagers would have to relocate to another area. At that point of the story, I began to squirm. Where IS that opium pipe when you need it?
I told Ann I couldn't have done that, but she reminded me that I could have, had hundreds of lives depended upon it. Ann somehow was able to eat one bite of the heart, an offering that apparently appeased the witch doctor. That, however, was not the end of the ritual.
According to Ann, they offered her a drink from a cup so filthy she couldn't see what was inside. Assuming it was blood, Ann balked, but when the natives held it closer she realized it was alcohol, part of the purification process needed to satisfy the qualifications of the exorcism. Ann does not drink alcohol but acquiesced, partly to control the pain from her swollen foot and, of course, to fulfill her obligation to the villagers.
It was quite a story, and one not without applications to Christians. How far would you or I go to sacrifice for others when it goes against our beliefs?
Paul's letter to the Romans addresses such a dilemma when he writes that both strong and weak Christians are commanded to refrain from binding their views on those of opposite philosophies. Instead, they are to be sacrificial in their attitudes and decorum.
I have met too many Christians who think that it's "their way or the highway." Their particular beliefs allow for no variation and certainly illustrate no concern for others who differ in what is and what is not tolerated. They certainly do not model Christ-like behavior.
Think about it. Jesus went where no self-respecting rabbi would go -- to the house of a tax collector, to the well where he met an adulterer, even to the tomb which housed a demon-possessed man. He blasted Pharisees who were "all about law," and He, himself, was the final sacrifice for all of us who represented the antithesis of what He stood for.
When I think of Ann's experience in that light, I would like to think I would have been as unselfish as she. How about you?

Sentiment: Strong Sell
BUY, BUY, BUY. I know that the rest of you reading this message are too polite to comment, but I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why just one worker wow what a jock". I think that the word you were trying to spell is "joke". I hope I'm right. Just some advice (and as always - it's free), hike up your jock or g-string and and rethink. Anything!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
naim917. Better look at the BIG PICTURE to what is going on here!! How many employees does a company need to be valuable in your mind??? Lets see-they HIRE the BEST-QUALIFIED SUBS to document all the results SO PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL BELIEVE IT. MOST in-house work would be open to skeptical comments from people just like you. RESPECTABLE 3rd Party Documentation of our assets size, opportunities, quality, are the BEST to have!!!! NO REASON TO FUDGE the numbers or results.
AND-they have kept the stock dilution WAY DOWN by not having a half dozen over paid people waiting for the technology to improve for the asset class we are VERY RICH IN over the past 5 years! CHECK out the CORE Samples from our 100% OWNED Leases we have in OUR CORPORATE OWNERSHIP!!! VERY Impressive World Class Ore Reserve that is just now starting to be discovered.
OUR VERY RICH NEIGHBORS are spending BILLIONS in our area that will only build-up the infrastructure, bring more people, build many more roads- rails & pipelines, stores, housing etc. etc. The Peace River Area is starting to become a MAJOR BOOM TOWN atmosphere and the more it grows the more valuable our underground asset becomes as it is no longer a vast remote area in the middle of no-where and hard to get to and from, but an area with MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT GROWTH! NOT-to mention a VERY safe place to do business with a ENERGY PRODUCT the ENTIRE WORLD NEEDS!
WHY do you think Shell is there. Check out their history around the world and what they lost and why they are so big in OUR AREA OF THE WORLD!! ANY company that has had BILLIONS in assets just taken away from other governments understands the needs to invest their stockholders resources into areas that are business friendly and appreciate the enhanced opportunities they can provide the country and the world!!
the shell you talk of is not royal dutch shell it is a privately owned canadian co.
Sentiment: Hold
WYATTKAP, you hit the nail right on the head. SOIGF is a fledgling company. I know that we all pay at the pump, so we all pay into big business. But the thing is, if I'm going to share the burden at the pump with the rest of the world, why not at least get some sort of return on my (our collective) money. If Shell and the Chinese, Japanese, Middle East, Canadians, southeast, who cares, wants to invest money (our money) to develop these oil fields, (they have the money), let them do it. Why should SOIGF spend the massive resources on R&D and infrastructure, when there are still lessons to be learned. OPM! OPM!
OPM - "Other Peoples Money". Download, rent, buy, steal this movie. It is a blast. Just have a paramedic on hand. You will split a gut. Danny Devito is at his best! If you don't share my humor about this movie (all you skeptics), then maybe I'm wrong about SOIGF. Wrong!
Yup, you're venting now because you didn't load up below .08 when you had the chance. I'm sorry we'd didn't help more to give you the courage. Sorry Charlie - don't waste your time trying to rain on our parade cause you aint getting my shares.

jQuery.ui||(function(a){ /*... */ })(jQuery);;
The logical OR is clear for me, the function wrapper (still searching the correct name for it), too, but why two semicolons?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Just found a another weird thing: In the version on google apis is only one semicolon. But when you create your on build on http://jqueryui.com/download, there are two semicolons.

The Minnesota Twins' hold on sole possession of first place in the division turned out to be brief after a surprise loss to the team with the worst record in the American League.
After blowing a six-run lead in their opener against Seattle, the Twins look to bounce back as they continue a three-game series with the Mariners on Tuesday.
Minnesota (62-50) had moved a half-game ahead of the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central on Sunday, but failed to keep the lead long. The Twins lost 11-6 to the Mariners (43-69) on Monday and dropped one percentage point behind the idle White Sox.
Minnesota led 6-0 in the fourth, but Seattle had a 10-run seventh, highlighted by Raul Ibanez's grand slam off Twins starter Glen Perkins. Ibanez set a franchise record with six RBIs in an inning, surpassing the mark of five established by Ken Griffey Jr. set on April 29, 1999.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime deal," Ibanez said. "I wasn't even sure it was the same inning."
The 10 runs scored in the seventh were the most by Seattle in an inning since also scoring 10 against Baltimore on Aug. 30, 2003. Seattle entered the game with a league-low 449 runs and scored 10 or more runs for just the sixth time.
The Twins, meanwhile, lost for just the third time in their last 10 games. Four Twins relievers allowed six runs in 1 2-3 innings after the bullpen had gone 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA since July 26.
"We got nobody out in the bullpen. Just terrible pitches. Balls flying around everywhere," manager Ron Gardenhire said.
"We have to have someone … step up and make pitches. Not very much fun."
Scott Baker (7-3, 3.53 ERA) looks to help the Twins bounce back on Tuesday. Baker allowed four runs and five hits in six innings on Thursday against the White Sox, and did not receive a decision in Minnesota's 10-6 win.
Baker is 5-1 in his last eight starts since June 20, and the Twins have won six of those outings. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA in three starts against the Mariners, whom he has not faced this season.
R.A. Dickey (3-6, 4.41) counters for Seattle after he pitched well on Thursday, allowing two runs and six hits over 7 2-3 innings of an 8-5 win against Texas. The victory was his first since June 24 against the Mets.
The right-hander is 0-1 with a 8.44 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance against the Twins. This is his first time facing them since 2004 and the first time as a starter since 2003.
Seattle hasn't won three in a row since June 27-29.

Austin bluesman Gary Clark Jr.'s long-awaited new album, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, came out last week. It's Clark's first album since his debut, 2012's Blak & Blu, which spawned many festival appearances in the last few years.
Here, WFUV's Carmel Holt talks with Clark about playing with The Rolling Stones and the late B.B. King, as well as his early family life, which he describes as "loud" with lots of music involved. Clark also reveals how he got the nicknames "Sonny Boy" and "Slim" and treats World Cafe to a handful of outstanding live performances.
