Like a Prayer-Madonna
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
Bb F
I hear your voice
C Dm
It's like an angel sighing
Bb F C
I have no choice I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name...
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name...
this is a rough outline of what goes on. The choir parts use a lot of passing
chords that probably aren't too hard to figure out. This chart is for cats
who are whining & banging an acoustic guitar, like me./

Dude, i think the intro goed Dm-C-Bb,
and if you listen to the live version on "I'm Going To Tell You a Secret" or w/e it's called, you hear the guitar more clearly, I'm no pro, so I'm not going to attempt to tab it, but you might be able to. [Although, I was able to figure out these tabs by listening to the song...]

Now that Wisconsin has hired the man to guide its offense, the big question in Badger Land is who will run Matt Canada's plays in 2012.
The Badgers' two most experienced quarterbacks, Jon Budmayr and Curt Phillips both are coming off of major injuries. Budmayr, pegged to compete with Russell Wilson in August for the starting quarterback job, developed a nerve problem in his throwing elbow that forced him to undergo surgery and miss the season. Phillips also missed the season after tearing his right ACL for the third time in spring practice.
Head coach Bret Bielema provided updates on both quarterbacks Wednesday, and the outlook looks favorable.
Although Budmayr had a setback in December that caused him some significant pain, he has recovered quickly and resumed throwing with an arm that Bielema says is 90 percent healthy.
"Jon is coming along a lot faster than initially they thought in the month of December," Bielema said. "He literally went through a tough couple days, he was having a lot of pain. From that day forward, [he] has miraculously come back. There's something that happened that's really triggered him to get back healthy in a short amount of time."
Bielema added that Phillips is "very positive" about his health. The coach expects both quarterbacks to be involved when spring practice kicks off March 17, although to what extent isn't known.
Canada certainly would benefit from being able to see both players, and especially Budmayr, on the field at close to full speed. Joel Stave and Joe Brennan also will be in the mix. It's hard to expect much from Phillips after so many knee issues, but he can be a weapon if healthy.
Bielema also provided injury updates Wednesday on linebackers Mike Taylor and Ethan Armstrong. Taylor, the Big Ten's leading tackler and a second-team All-Big Ten selection, recently underwent hip surgery after dealing with the injury all season. He'll miss spring ball.
Armstrong also is out for the spring after undergoing surgeries on both of his hips.
While Taylor and Chris Borland can be penciled into the starting lineup as linebackers, Armstrong will have to compete for the third spot in preseason camp.

Thermoablation of metastatic lesions in the liver is very commonplace. At present there are 3 essential techniques of access to carry out the procedure: open surgery, percutaneous technique and laparoscopic method. Percutaneous thermoablation is criticised due to the possible lack of radicalism. On the other hand, thermoablation during open surgery is a big perioperative trauma for the patient. The laparoscopic technique seems to be a compromise between the aforementioned techniques. The aim of this study was to present the technique and preliminary results of thermoablation of the liver carried out by means of the laparoscopic technique.
Laparoscopic thermoablation was carried out in 4 patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the liver. In order to precisely locate the tumour and guarantee radicalism of the surgery, laparoscopic probe ultrasonography was carried out during the procedure.
All the patients underwent the procedure without any difficulties. All the patients left the hospital department as soon as 3 or 4 days after the surgery. This was about 7 days earlier in comparison with the open surgery procedure, which had been carried out before. The patients required a supply of analgesics only during the first 48 hours – non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, which made a substantial difference between them and the patients treated with the open surgical technique. Thanks to the laparoscopic ultrasound technique one patient had an additional lesion located, which had not been described in preoperative examinations.
In combination with ultrasonography, laparoscopic access, which does not have a very invasive character, seems to be relatively simple and effective to carry out the procedure of thermoablation.
Colorectal cancer is the most frequent malignant cancer of the alimentary tract. In spite of early detection programmes there are still about 15-20% of patients who report for treatment at stage IV of the neoplastic disease. In a group of patients with the diagnosis of colorectal cancer as many as 40-50% of them develop metastases within the liver during the natural process of disease progression [1–3]. The treatment of patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the liver is a multidisciplinary procedure, where one of the elements is surgical destruction or resection. Surgical resection of a lesion in the liver is a voluntary procedure in patients with surgical metastasis of colorectal cancer, which gives a chance for recovery. However, only 10-20% of patients may be qualified for potentially therapeutic resection due to the number of lesions, their size, location in the hepatic parenchyma, chronic liver disease as well as concomitant diseases [2, 3]. If no treatment is applied, the average survival time for patients with metastases in the liver is about 5-6 months, where the cause of death is usually failure of the organ [1]. An alternative to resection of the liver, especially in the situations discussed above, is the application of methods of thermal destruction of metastases (radiofrequency ablation – RFA) with simultaneous conservation of the remaining healthy hepatic parenchyma. The methods enable better results of treatment applied to patients. In the case of RFA the tissue is destroyed through the application of temperature reaching 90-100°C. Protein denaturation and coagulative necrosis are the effects. Thermoablation can also be carried out with the application of different accesses. They range from the access during laparotomy, which is the most intrusive for the patient, through the application of laparoscopy in order to carry out percutaneous thermoablation controlled by ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance [4–8]. For the time being there is still a lot of controversy concerning the application of thermoablation techniques in the treatment of metastases to the liver. The vast majority of the available literature consists of retrospective studies, usually from one centre, which indicate that thermoablation produces worse results than surgical resection [9]. RFA supporters point to the fact that worse results are the effect of specific qualification of patients, i.e. those who cannot be qualified for resection due to progression of the disease or their general state [9].
Percutaneous thermoablation is criticised due to the possible lack of radicalism. On the other hand, thermoablation during open surgery means strong perioperative trauma for the patient. The laparoscopic technique enables minimisation of the surgery and the simultaneous possibility of direct visualisation of the liver, and intraoperative ultrasonography with the application of the laparoscopic head enables better visualisation not only of the liver but also of the entire peritoneal space [10, 11].
The aim of the study was to present our first experiences in the technique, evaluation of its efficacy and limitations to thermoablation of colorectal cancer metastases to the liver carried out by means of the laparoscopic technique.
The group of examinees consisted of four patients with the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In the last 6 months they had been treated in the 1st Department of Surgical Oncology and General Surgery, Greaterpoland Cancer Center. The diagnostics revealed synchronic metastases within the liver. In the beginning the patients were qualified for resection of the primary lesion and later, after the final result of histopathological examination, neoadjuvant therapy was included. According to the recommendations of the clinical oncologist, the treatment involved computed tomography of the abdominal cavity in order to assess the lesions within the liver. The patients whose lesions were reduced during chemotherapy, did not exceed 3 cm in diameter and were located peripherally were qualified for laparoscopic thermoablation. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the research group.
Three trocars (1 × 5 mm, 2 × 12 mm) were entered in general anaesthesia after the development of pneumoperitoneum to the level of 12 mm Hg. Two patients had another trocar installed due to the need of better visualisation of the operated place in the liver (Fig. 1). After accessing the liver the entire abdominal cavity was assessed in order to exclude spreading of the neoplastic process. Then the metastatic lesions described in computed tomography were located by means of a laparoscopic ultrasound head (ultrasound apparatus from BK-Medical, Herlev, Denmark and 8666-RF laparoscopic transducer) (Fig. 2). A thermoablation needle was entered percutaneously (needle 25 cm, appliance Cool-tip RF ablation system, Valleylab, Tyco Healthcare group, USA). Then the needle was centrally entered into the lesion under the guidance of an ultrasound probe through its working channel or in the case of superficially located lesions the position of the needle was guided by ultrasound without using the working channel of the probe. Then the process of thermoablation was carried out, which lasted 12 minutes for one puncture (Fig. 3).
In all of the four patients the procedure was carried out without any difficulties and the described lesions were located within the liver. In three of the patients all the lesions underwent thermoablation from a single puncture. It turned out that in patient no. 4, who had a single tumour in segment 4b, the lesion was larger than the one described in CT. Its diameter was 45 mm and it comprised the falciform ligament of the liver on one side and the wall of the gallbladder on the other side. First the patient underwent laparoscopic resections of a fragment of the falciform ligament and gallbladder. Thermoablation of the lesion was carried out from three separate punctures. Patient no. 1 had another lesion of 16 mm in diameter diagnosed in segment V by means of the ultrasound probe. Before thermoablation one of the patients had peritoneal adhesions of the hepatic region removed after open cholecystectomy.
The average operation time was 2 hours 20 minutes. In three patients the surgery did not last longer than 2 hours. The surgery on patient no. 2 lasted longer than 3 hours, which was caused by problems with appropriate visualisation and the actual process of thermoablation of the lesion located in segment VIII. All the patients had Redon drains removed within 24 hours after the surgery. The average amount of the drained substance was 50 ml. All the patients were discharged from the hospital department as early as the third or fourth day after the surgery. This was about 5 days earlier than in the case of open surgery, which was carried out before. The patients required a supply of analgesics only during the first 48 hours. They received non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, which made a substantial difference between them and patients treated by means of open surgery. During the perioperative course the patients underwent assessment of the marker CEA (carcinoembrionic antigen), which dropped to the normal level in all the patients. They also had a follow-up ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, which confirmed efficacy of the surgery. For further treatment the patients were qualified for continuation of chemotherapy or observation.
Appropriate qualification for thermoablation continues to raise controversy. At the moment there are no prospective randomised clinical studies comparing the results of surgical treatment of colorectal cancer metastases by means of resection and thermoablation. Hamill et al. made a retrospective analysis of the results of treatment of potentially respective metastatic lesions of colorectal cancer to the liver by means of laparoscopic thermoablation. After another analysis of computed tomography images, from the patients who underwent laparoscopic thermoablation, a group of subjects who may have had a resection was selected. The results of treatment in the potentially resective group were as follows: the average survival time of 4.25 years and 5-year survival time of 48.7% whereas in the non-resective group the average survival time was 2.16 years and 5-year survival reached 18.4%. The survival time in the group of potentially resective patients who had laparoscopic thermoablation was comparable with the results achieved after resection of the liver (from 33% to 58% as described in the literature) [10]. Oshowo et al. presented similar results, where the 3-year survival time of patients after resection of the liver was 55.4% as compared with 52.6% after thermoablation. The authors stress the need of further research which will unequivocally define indications for potentially therapeutic thermoablation with comparable results to resection [12].
The literature on thermoablation of metastatic lesions of colorectal cancer in the liver by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) comprises 245 full-text publications in the Medline database. An overview of it shows that no prospective randomised studies have been published on the subject. The available studies, both prospective and retrospective, point to considerable discrepancy between obtained results: 5-year survival times between 14% and 55% and relapse after RFA between 3.6% and 60%. Above all, such considerable differences are related to the criteria of qualification of patients and experience in the procedure. The best therapeutic results are obtained when patients with one metastatic lesion are qualified. Worse or good results are obtained if there are no more than three lesions. Bad results are achieved in the case of more than three lesions. Only one report in world literature points to the fact that RFA may extend the patient's total survival time if there are more than five lesions [9]. Similarly, the biggest success in RFA concerns the group of patients where the diameter of the metastatic lesion in the liver does not exceed 3 cm. Most RFA apparatuses comprise the area of 4 cm. In the case of lesions whose diameter does not exceed 3 cm this guarantees a 5-10-mm margin of healthy parenchyma in the liver. If thermoablation is applied as an alternative to resection, special attention should be paid to appropriate qualification of patients with smaller lesions than 3 cm, located at the distance of at least 1 cm from the main bile ducts. Impairment of the main bile ducts entails a fatal complication, which narrows them down and leads to resulting consequences [5, 6, 9]. Patients in our centre were qualified for laparoscopic thermoablation on the basis of the aforementioned criteria.
The most important stage during thermoablation is appropriate visualisation of the lesion and precise entering of the electrode. The success and efficacy of the surgery depend on it. In order to visualise the lesion and carry out RFA the hepatic parenchyma can be accessed during the surgery – laparotomy or laparoscopy. Nevertheless, the least invasive method is percutaneous entering of needles under the control of ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance. This technique is reserved for patients who cannot be qualified for general anaesthesia and/or who have numerous lesions, which are not large. The main disadvantages of percutaneous access are difficulty in precise location of lesions and absence of possibility to monitor the whole process.
In a comparison of the results of treatment and costs of hospitalisation of the patients who underwent percutaneous thermoablation guided by computed tomography and laparoscopy, it was observed that laparoscopy is the preferable access in patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the liver. In the group of patients with colorectal cancer metastases who underwent computed tomography-controlled thermoablation, in a month after the surgery the follow-up CT revealed absence of radicalism in a group of 12.5% of the patients. On the other hand, in the group who underwent surgery with the laparoscopic technique, radicalism was confirmed in all of the patients [11]. Furthermore, laparoscopy and laparotomy enable assessment of the whole abdominal cavity for spread of the neoplastic process in the peritoneum and location of metastases in other places. In our opinion laparoscopy is a good alternative to the intrusive laparotomy and it gives a possibility to achieve much better results than in the percutaneous access. As Thaler et al. suggest, before a decision of surgical treatment of colorectal cancer metastases to the liver, each patient should first undergo diagnostic laparoscopy with laparoscopic ultrasonography. In the analysis of 136 patients the application of laparoscopy changed the therapeutic decision during the surgery in 48%. Simultaneously, after initial assessment in 78 cases laparoscopic thermoablation of metastatic lesions was carried out, whereas 26 patients underwent resection of the liver – 13 with laparoscopy and the other 13 from classical access [13]. It is important that patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the liver have appropriate diagnostics because it turns out that during laparotomy with intraoperative ultrasound assessment in 30% of cases there are metastases identified in the liver, which were not earlier visible in imaging examinations [14, 15]. In the presented material the whole abdominal cavity was assessed during the surgery, which enabled exclusion of the presence of neoplastic disease outside the hepatic tissue. In the presented group in one patient the laparoscopic ultrasound probe revealed an additional lesion, which had not been described before the surgery. It was also subjected to thermoablation.
Laparoscopic thermoablation of lesions in the liver has some limitations and the technique cannot be applied to all patients [6, 8, 16–18]. The first limitation described in the literature is the presence of massive adhesions within the abdominal cavity, which make access to the liver difficult. The vast majority of patients qualified for laparoscopic thermoablation have undergone resection of the colon or rectal cancer before. Some of those patients have been operated on due to metastases to the liver. Both of the operations are responsible for the development of adhesions. Releasing adhesions in order to gain free access to the liver carries higher risk of causing damage to other organs of the abdominal cavity, especially the intestine, and extends the surgery time [17]. In the presented material, when trocars were placed, adhesions were observed only after open resection of the gallbladder. They did not cause a serious problem and were resected by means of the laparoscopic technique. However, there were massive adhesions in the location after the colorectal surgery. In our group all the patients had cancer in the left half of the colorectum. The second limitation to the application of laparoscopic thermoablation is the number and location of lesions. In the case of larger tumours and difficult locations thermoablation during laparotomy provides more accurate and safer access. However, it depends on the surgeon's subjective opinion. At the moment there are no unequivocal guidelines which would specify the group of patients who would benefit more from thermoablation during laparotomy rather than laparoscopy [5, 6, 8, 16–18]. As Kulaylat suggests, smaller lesions of 1-3 cm in diameter, which are located superficially or peripherally, should be qualified for laparoscopic thermoablation. In the case of larger lesions or those located deep in the hepatic parenchyma, thermoablation from access during laparotomy seems to be better [4]. In an overview of the literature on thermoablation the ASCO reports the fact that one of the problems that needs to be explained by means of randomised clinical studies is the definition of appropriate qualification for a specific technique of thermoablation: percutaneous, laparoscopic or during laparotomy [9].
In our opinion, in the case of patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the liver, the presented technique is a good alternative to thermoablation carried out with the open method. It is important that patients are appropriately qualified for the laparoscopic procedure and it is necessary to have experience in this type of surgery. On the basis of experience in the open method of the procedure and the example of the patients we have presented above, we think that the laparoscopic technique is a safe and relatively simple procedure for a surgeon who applies laparoscopic techniques. In comparison with open surgery the noticeable elements are much shorter time of hospitalisation and recovery to physical activity. It is necessary to carry out many more operations in order to specify significant limitations to these techniques.

Dan's Chevelle Wagon has changed hands on multiple occasions between himself and street racer king Greg "Bubba" Taylor from Rockford, Il. Dan would like to give special thanks to Rodney,Keith and Libby "The Wagon Lady" Brockman for finding the rust free wagon in Huntington Beach California while vacationing about 18 years ago! As for the wagon it's a 1970 Chevelle Wagon weighing in at a portly 4565 lbs. with a pump gas, 533 cubic inch short deck Chevrolet engine with untouched aluminum small port cylinder heads backed by a full manual column shifted turbo 400 transmission by b+c trans of Rockford and a Midwest 10 inch converter also of Rockford, Il. A gear vendors overdrive was installed and has worked flawlessly for years including a '13 Hot Rod Drag Week trip of 3500 miles towing a trailer. The wagon also features a strange brute strength Dana rear end with a 456 ratio. No power adders have been added as of yet, but are on the list! Best time to date is a 10:93 at 121 mph with Steve behind the wheel. Look for the wheels up launches this coming spring at Byron!

We also provide you with 3D images of your piles, so that they can be compared over time.
Managing inventory is not just about having an accurate number. As a full-service provider, we can help you reconcile your inventory from start to finish. This means it is not just about measuring a stockpile – it is about understanding and tracking how materials move through the operation from the ground to the piles to the sale.
Drones for the Mining Industry
Firmatek prides itself on being on the cutting edge of technology but, more importantly, tailoring our technology for your unique situation. We have our FAA 333 exemption that allows us to legally fly a drone to capture aerial data and imaging for your mine. Whether it's just a picture you need, stockpile volumetrics, or a full layered AutoCad of your entire site, we have the technology and the know how to deliver. We've been in the mining industry for over 20 years and while our technology has changed our clients have continued to trust us for their mine data needs.
3D Mine Mapping
Firmatek uses laser scanners (Lidar) to capture high-resolution, high-accuracy topographic data. Pits, settling ponds, floors, highwalls, muck piles and greenfield sites can now be accurately, efficiently and cost-effectively measured using laser scanning technology. All data is captured on State Plane Coordinates so that it can be incorporated with mine plans, design CAD, aerial flyovers and surveys from other consultants. Lasers are the gold standard of topographic measurement and our ground-based systems make the technology scalable enough to cover 1 Acre or 1,000 Acres.
Firmatek provides a variety of mapping products including topographic maps, pit progression maps, digital CAD contours, digital terrain models, and point cloud data.
Topographic Mapping for Landfills
Firmatek is an industry leader in providing cutting-edge technology for topographic mapping to landfills and other dynamic sites. Firmatek provides important operational calculations including fill volume, operational density, and constructed remaining airspace. We also provide additional landfill services that include monitoring in preparation for closing, overfill monitoring, isopach map creation, and stockpile measurements.
Our engineering staff can integrate the data that Firmatek collects at your operation with data from other sources. Combining our data with other sources of information makes our services even more useful to our clients.
As-Builts, Overburden Removal, Density Testing, and More
Firmatek offers a variety of other services to the mining, construction, and solid waste industries. Some of these services include overburden removal calculations, as-builts, roadway scans, and density testing.
Scanning can be performed on mechanical items such as equipment, frames, pipe runs, crushers, conveyors, etc., and on structures such as buildings, tanks, kilns, exhaust stacks and silos. Topographic laser scans can be performed to record the as-built condition of earthwork projects such as ponds, dams, levees, berms and areas where stripping has been completed.
We help contractors and quarries reduce disputes about the amount of material moved by scanning sites at intervals throughout the length of the contract.
If you have an idea, we love to find new and creative ways to help our clients.
Giving Companies that Build the World Supreme Confidence
We were there at the dawn of laser profiling to capture the first stockpiles in 3D. Today, Firmatek continues to invest in and remain at the forefront of the technology used to measure stockpiles and map the world. Whether you need third party measurement of your stockpile assets, a revealing laser scan of your mine in 3D, or a density calculation for your landfill, giving you supreme confidence is our mission.

LOVE Mobile Game Apps: Do you? SUPERSTAR Programmer Needed
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 14
Project Description
RUSSIAN SPEAKING ONLY! (We don't speak Russian, so you have to communicate with us in English. The app however, is for the Russian market)
Would you like to be part of a team of excited Norwegian and Swedish entrepreneurs and marketers who really want to create great smart phone apps? Right now we are working on a word game (Just some simple 2D animations required). We will provide you with the layout and design of the game, but you have to be able to make everything function properly.
We don't care if you are an independent contractor, or part of an agency.
- If you are an agency that has amazing designers, we absolutely want to hire them as well. Having a designer and programmer physically work together is ideal, but both have to be superstars, so we can't guarantee that we will hire more than the programmer)
- If you are independent, you have to expect to be working closely with us on Skype, and communicate with a designer that we hire. This will probably on a daily basis during the development of the game.
We also don't really have a requirement for which programming language you use, but we are making this game for Android and iPhone, so we would like to keep the cost of porting it from one platform to another to a minimum.
We only have a few requirements, and they must be met to get an interview:
- You MUST have programmed mobile apps before. They do not have to be mobile games, but that is a bonus. We have to see these games before contacting you, so please provide links or screen shots in the application
- You must speak Russian (we are making an app for the Russian market)
- We want somebody who can challenge us and think creatively. You are the programming talent, and we expect you to challenge our opinions.
- You are a superstar and very passionate about creating games
We are aiming for the clouds with this app business, so we want to hire somebody who we can work with long term that also loves this stuff. The job will mostly be full time to begin with when we start the project, but there might be some days off so we can review and make decisions about changes etc.
Not sure about hourly of fixed payments. We'll have to discuss that when the time comes.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Whoever we hire will have a lot of fun working with us!Get free quotes for a project like this

Van Morrison
Van Morrison first made a name for himself at the helm of The Angry Young Them, as an Irish Eric Burdon blowing harp and spitting out the blues with a gritty authority that said he'd kick your ass if he were any taller. The liner notes in that first album read, "When asked to produce a track that they considered 'a pretty song,' their answer was simply, 'NO! This is our music, you either like it or you don't.'" Of course, most people like it better when he's singing pretty songs like "Brown Eyed Girl" or anything on Astral Weeks, a 1968 release that just hit No. 19 on another list of greatest albums ever from the desk of Rolling Stone. It's been a while since Morrison's uncorked an Astral Weeks, preferring to dabble in skiffle and country and making an album with Jerry Lee Lewis' daughter since the new millennium kicked in. But he's singing great, which should be all that matters when he pours his Irish soul into the catalogue onstage. Here's hoping "T.B. Sheets" is on the list.

Going into the final six weeks of the year, the major U.S. stock markets have already registered 20%-plus gains, and most are at or near record levels. The benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 is up 26% to 1798, finishing the week at a new high. This is the best year for the S&P since 2003. Small stocks have soared even higher, with the Russell 2000 index up 31%. And the workhorse Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the week at a record 15,961, having moved up almost 22%.
The widespread gains have prompted talk of a bubble similar to ones in 2000 and 2007. And in certain pockets of technology, including social media and cloud-related companies, that is no doubt true.

But big blue chip stocks, including large financial, technology, and energy companies, still look attractive. The S&P 500 is valued at 16 times projected 2013 operating profits of $109 and at 15 times estimated 2014 earnings of $120. Those price/earnings ratios are about equal to the long-run average. Even if next year's earnings growth is closer to this year's projected 5% than to the aggressive current estimate of 10%, the S&P 500 forward P/E is 15.6, which doesn't look excessive at a time of near-zero short-term rates, a 2.71% yield on the 10-year Treasury note, and sub-6% average yield on junk bonds. The S&P 500 dividend yield is 2%, but the earnings payout ratio is historically low at about 35%, meaning companies have room to further boost dividends.
This is the best year for the S&P since 2003. Small stocks have soared even higher. Getty Images
"The first stage of the bull market was a revaluation to something resembling reasonable levels as it dawned on investors that the world wasn't going to end," says Stephen Auth, chief investment officer at Federated Investors. "The second stage began this summer with a transition to the view that the economy is accelerating and that earnings are poised to increase significantly in the coming years."
Tom Lee, the bullish JPMorgan strategist, says "We're in a secular bull market that will last at least another three years." Adds Jim Paulsen of Wells Capital Management, "If inflation stays at 3% or less, the market P/E could get into the 20s."
(For a differing view, see the interview with GMO's Ben Inker, "Bright Spots in a Pricey Market.")
Auth, who has been one of the most bullish analysts in Barron's periodic surveys of Wall Street strategists, thinks the S&P 500 could hit 2000 by the end of next year, about 11% above current levels.
Among major asset classes, stocks are by far the best, he says. "The fundamentals are good for stocks and terrible for everything else: bonds, commodities, and cash." Treasury and junk-bond yields are at historically low levels, while slowing growth in China and much of the developing world is cooling demand for a range of commodities, which are in the red this year based on broad-based indexes.
Barron's consistently has been bullish on the stocks in recent years, starting from the market low in March 2009 ("Ouch! That Hurt," March 9, 2009) and including a cover story early this year when the Dow industrials traded around 14,000 ("New Highs in Sight," February 4).
One of the biggest coming challenges for stocks is the likely curtailment of the Federal Reserve's aggressive bond purchases during 2014. When Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke raised the prospect of "tapering" in the spring -- an action that the Fed has since postponed -- stocks stumbled. But Auth argues stocks can appreciate in 2014 in the face of higher bond yields.
THERE ARE PLENTY of reasons for caution. Margin debt has risen to record levels, investor complacency is high with the VIX index -- a gauge of volatility known as the "fear index" -- near a 10-year low, and many professional investors are raising cash or hedging their portfolios. Warnings about bubble-like conditions are coming from the likes of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and longtime bull Warren Buffett who said two months ago, when the S&P was 5% below current levels, that he's "having a hard time finding things to buy."

Barron's Roundtable member Scott Black of Delphi Management in Boston notes this year's bull move is different because "the market hasn't left anything behind." All major sectors of the stock market have rallied this year, a contrast to the situation in 1999 and 2000 when technology soared and most other areas of the stock market trailed badly. Among the few weak spots in 2013 are coal and gold shares.
Another laggard has been real-estate investment trusts, which have risen just 5% including dividends, as measured by the MSCI U.S. REIT index. That's behind telecom, utilities, and master limited partnerships. REITs appear to be one of the most attractive income-oriented sectors of the stock market given average dividend yields of about 4%, the prospect of mid-single digit annual profit growth and some inflation protection.
The case for small and mid-cap stocks is harder to make after outsize gains this year and more than a decade of outperformance relative to their larger brethren. The median mid-cap stock in the S&P MidCap 400 has a market value of about $3.4 billion while the median issue in the S&P SmallCap 600 is just under $1 billion.
"Small caps are awfully expensive on an absolute basis and relative to large-cap stocks," says Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategist Steven DeSanctis. He calculates that the Russell 2000 index is valued at about 18.5 times forward earnings. The small-cap benchmark historically has had a higher P/E than the S&P 500, but the spread has averaged less than one multiple point. The gap, based on 2014 earnings estimates, is now more than two points.
DeSanctis's work shows that when small stocks have been this expensive -- dating back to 1979 -- the return in the subsequent 12 months has averaged a negative 1% and they have trailed large-cap stocks by about five percentage points. Black agrees, noting that small- and mid-cap indexes look overpriced and that large-cap stocks are fairly valued. "It's getting especially difficult to find good value among small and mid-cap stocks," he says.
One indication of how scarce bargains are in the small- and mid-cap arenas is that there are just 10 stocks in the S&P mid-cap index with P/Es of 10 or lower based on estimated 2013 earnings and just 14 such stocks in the S&P small-cap index.

Not surprising, activists like Carl Icahn are pouncing, trying to unlock some of the value in these behemoths. A less aggressive activist, ValueAct Capital, has been involved with Microsoft. Its shares are up 20% since CEO Steve Ballmer's August announcement that he plans to step down amid expectations that his successor will take shareholder-friendly actions to boost earnings like selling the company's unprofitable search engine Bing and cutting bloated costs.
Cisco could become the next activist target in tech. Investors could push Cisco to use its great balance sheet -- with about $6 a share in net cash and investments, or 30% of its current stock price of $21 -- to return more cash to holders. Change could come at Cisco with longtime CEO John Chambers facing greater criticism. Cisco's P/E is around 10 based on reduced current-year profit estimates.

Although there has been some cooling lately in the stock market's hottest sectors, mainly Internet, social media, and cloud computing, the marquee stocks still are up sharply for the year (see table below.).
Many of these stocks have little or no earnings and thus are being valued on revenues and some dubious financial measures, notably earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) and adjusted earnings per share. Both these figures exclude often high costs associated with restricted stock grants to employees. It's tough to make a strong case for any of them at current levels.

At $44, it's valued at about $31 billion with an enterprise value (market value minus net cash) of around $29 billion, based on a fully diluted share count of around 705 million shares.

The S&P 500 is valued at less than two times sales.
Twitter isn't expected to be profitable until 2015 or 2016, though some think it could top $1 a share in earnings by 2017. That means it trades for 40 times on potential profits four years out. Twitter has enticing potential with its ad-targeting capabilities to its 232 million subscribers based on their demonstrated interests, but that's more than already reflected in its share price. A sevenfold rise in revenue between 2013 and 2017, which is what the Street is expecting, could be tough to achieve.
TWITTER ALSO IS A MAJOR OFFENDER when it comes to excessive employee stock grants. It issued over 50 million shares of stock to employees this year, whose value exceeds current-year projected revenue of about $650 million. That's based on the pre-IPO grant prices of around $20, not the current market price.
Analysts generally exclude the high cost of those grants, which typically vest over a four-year period, from Ebitda and adjusted earnings calculations even though the stock is equivalent to cash -- and viewed as such by employees. GAAP earnings properly require stock compensation to be treated as the expense. That's why GAAP earnings are a better financial measure than non-GAAP, or adjusted, earnings. Outside of the tech and biotechnology industries, companies rarely try to exclude restricted stock from their expenses.

In our February cover story, we wrote that alternative investments like hedge funds starred in this century's first decade, but that stocks would dominate in the current decade. So far, that call looks good.
