How to Regularly Access Picks from the Zacks Rank Discovery for Free: http://at.zacks.com/?id=88

Underlying the four free stock picks is a simple truth that first appeared in a Financial Analysts Journal article published in 1979. Leonard Zacks, a Ph.D. in Mathematics from M.I.T. found that "earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices." Zacks #1 Rank is awarded to a stock when analysts sharply upgrade their estimates of what the company will earn.

NASA has awarded a follow-on contract to Computer Sciences Corp.'s Applied Technology Group of Fort Worth, Texas, to support the agency's aircraft used for astronaut training, flight research and mission and program support. The contract has a potential value of approximately $163 million, if all options are exercised.

The aircraft are used at NASA's Johnson Space Center flight operations at Ellington Field in Houston and facilities in El Paso, Texas; NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.; and NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.

The potential overall value for NASA Dryden's portion of the cost-plus-award-fee effort is about $53.4 million, including options. Under the new pact, Computer Sciences Corp. will continue to provide maintenance support to a variety of research and mission support aircraft at NASA Dryden, including F/A-18, B-200 King Air, Gulfstream III, ER-2, Boeing 747SP, DC-8 airborne laboratory, Global Hawk, F-15, F-16, T-38, T-34, and the Ikhana (Predator B) aircraft.

This follow-on pact continues services provided by Computer Sciences Corp. under a previous contract that was effective from March 1, 2004 through Aug. 31, 2009.
