It's about time these lists were updated! Last time was sometime in 2007, and with the way companies have been merged, sold, or have gone out of business, many of the stocks on the lists were not as indicated.

Time to start the due diligence again... high yield is nice, but it's not the only thing to look for. Research, research, research.
