"Pea Ridge Mine Still Focused On Re-Opening Part Two Of 'Pea Ridge Mine'
Posted by SiteJudge on Feb 12th, 2013 // No Comment
By James B. Bartle
The future of Pea Ridge Resources, owned by MFC, Industrial, Canada, and Alberici Group, St. Louis, still remains somewhat in limbo as a number of studies are still underway or are scheduled to be done at the former Pea Ridge Mine.
The Independent News spoke with Kevin McGrath, Cameron Associates, Inc., the media spokesperson for the project this week.
A number of questions were presented to McGrath including, "How far along is Pea Ridge Resources on re-opening the Pea Ridge Mine?; Is there a target date for opening?; How long will it take to pump the water out of the flooded mine?; By going over the third quarter report, I understand there are a large number of reports and studies being made, is this delaying the progress of the mine as we are one year past the purchase by the two firms?"
McGrath offered a simple answer to all seven questions that were presented to him.
"It is very difficult to answer the majority of your questions before we have the answers to the studies," said McGrath. "We are actively working on this process and once it has been completed and we have made some decisions we will share that with the public."
In going, briefly, over the 61-page, 'Technical Report,' on the Pea Ridge Resources mine conducted by Behre Dolbear & Company, Denver, CO, in August, the report does shed some light on the project and questions that remain.
The report indicates, at the time it was completed, "Behre Dolbear performed a pre-feasibility study on the Pea Ridge Mine in 2007-08 that focused on a mining method and processing scenario that was being considered at that time. At the present time, the economic factors used in that study are no longer applicable and Pea Ridge Resources has not determined a production scenario for future mining.
Under Recovery Methods, the report stated that when Pea Ridge Mine was operating, a standard magnetic separation process was used to recover magnetite and convert it to pellets. At this time, the company has not made decisions about how ore will be processed.
The report did discuss the Social/Community Impact which read, "Sullivan is a community of some 7,000 people and has schools and clinics for doctors, dentists, and chiropractors. The area around the mine is also a recreation; resort area, which could also provide opportunities for temporary accommodations if needed. Unemployment in the area is high and Pea Ridge Resources believes that former employees would be willing and able to, again, work at the mine. At the present time, several former employees are being employed to catalogue historical data.
The report did make mention that recovery efforts to collect ore from the surface is on-going at this time.
The conclusion report stated, "Substantial mineralization is still available for production at the Pea Ridge Mine site, although presently, these are now in flooded condition. This economic viability of de-watering and bringing the mine back into production will depend on establishing the products that will be produced, their value, the size of the markets for these products and the logistical requirements necessary to transport these products to market."
It does appear, according to McGrath, that work is on-going on the Mine Project and that a number of studies have to be completed and analyzed over the next several months.
McGrath did indicate to the Independent News that he would provide future updates on the project as they become available. He strongly understood the economic impact this project would have on the local economy if the mine was back in full operation."

"Advice For The Lovelorn Investor: 2 Stocks That Cherish Shareholders
February 13, 2013 | 1 comment | includes: MIL, PMD
Disclosure: I am long MIL. (More...)
Financial advisors warn us against falling in love with our investments. That is easy to say, but most investments are based upon some enticing attributes that encourage passionate expectations. The decision to buy a stock is usually followed by jubilation that we were able to capture such a gem, but all too frequently that thrill does not last. If too many times the honeymoon with your new stock has ended prematurely, maybe the companies in this article can put the romance back in your investing.
As an analyst, I fall easy for companies with high growth, big dividends or sexy businesses, only to discover after hours of investigation that the company has a dark side. Those short-lived affairs are frustrating, but not as heartbreaking as the unexpected disappointments from a company after the investment is consummated.
Perhaps the most egregious of these surprises is when a company reports great revenue growth but the bottom line is penalized by huge management bonuses and salary increases. Just when it is time for the payoff to the loyal investor, management decides that they already have your money so they do not care about increasing dividends. Another common abuse of shareholders is the continuing issuance of diluting stock offerings to fund an unnecessarily larger operation, to satisfy the egos or justify the salaries of the CEO and CFO.
The Beat of a Different Drum
While PMD may let you sleep well at night, maybe you prefer the excitement of a little less predictability in your mate. MFC Industrial Limited (MIL) is a commodity supply chain company and owner of resources and royalties in iron and energy in particular. MIL is run by a gentleman named Michael John Smith, who has been compared to Warren Buffett in his unwavering insistence on true value when making a deal. He also insists that book value is the best way to evaluate his company, and the current price of $10.03 per share is a 20% discount to that value metric. A recent example of a Michael Smith deal is the timely acquisition of Compton Petroleum for about $32 million, while the June 2012 evaluation put the Compton book value at $224 million. The book value of MIL was increased sharply, but only after deducting conservative reserves for losses in the future sale of Compton's non-core assets.
Part of the charm of MIL is the mystery. It is enigmatic in the complicated acquisitions and spin offs that are hallmarks of the company. While conference calls (usually from some exotic location) with Mr. Smith are intriguing, we always come away feeling wooed, although not sure why. The bottom line is that history has proven that the bold actions by the MIL management has resulted in a 15%+ annual return for investors. A thorough but mind-bending account of this history can be found in this Seeking Alpha piece.
The focus of MFC is on becoming a global supply chain management company through the prudent acquisition of undervalued assets. Although Smith insists on book value evaluation of his company, earnings in the core business in the commodity and merchant banking business have been consistent enough to support a dividend that has increased in the past two years. The MIL policy has been to pay a better dividend than the NYSE average. The current MIL yield is 2.4%.
MIL management is innovative and conservative at the same time. Great attention is paid to small details, belying the boldness of its acquisitions. Investors must take a leap of faith to join the wild ride as MIL marches to its unique drumbeat. That faith is not so hard to muster, given the history of 15% - 20% annual returns for stockholders and a management that insists on a better-than-average income yield. It is noteworthy that Smith's six-figure salary is reasonable for an active and successful leader.
It is difficult to find attractive stocks that are not already winning the Wall Street popularity contest. If you have found that those sexy investments are prone to let you down, maybe you should consider investing in lesser-known companies whose management is committed to work in harness with their shareholders. You may find that they know how to perform where it counts."
Only problem with the article is the other stock mentioned has like a 6 million share float...
That's pretty thin for a side-by-side promotion with MFC...
I mean, even if we took a small position, we'd probably goose the price a couple bucks
to get filled.
I think we'll just pass at this point and pack a little more MFC in the portfolios.

Advertising, Research and Development, and Capital Market Risk: Higher Risk Firms versus Lower Risk Firms
Chen, Miao-Ling, Peng, Chi-Lu, Wei, An-Pin, Journal of Business Economics and Management
1. Introduction
Classical financial theory argues that investors, who make their investment decisions according to the expected utility function, will tend to optimize their risk-reward tradeoff, leading to an equilibrium in which the cross-sectional expected asset returns depend only on the cross-section systematic risks (hereinafter, [beta]-risk). However, recent literature (Lui et al. 2007) considers that [beta]-risk may not account for sufficient explanatory power of the variation in a stock returns because the residuals of the Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) are influenced by these other sources of covariance (Rosenberg 1974), referred to as non-systematic risk (hereinafter, idiosyncratic risk) (1). Ang et al. (2006) find that stocks with high idiosyncratic volatility have low average returns. The above evidence implies that investors should be concerned about risks both from the market returns and from changes in firm's individual intrinsic risk. Therefore, the issue of investigating the components of firm's [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk has became a very popular issue among both academics (Ang et al. 2006; Chang, Dong 2006) and practitioners (Lui et al. 2007). For example, Chen (2002) and Ang et al. (2006) show evidence that a firm with higher [beta]-risk has a lower expected return because investors' prospects for the uncertainty of market returns is increased. Lui et al. (2007) indicate that financial analysts have viewed a firm's idiosyncratic risk as an important measure when issuing their rating for the risk of investing in a stock. Without decomposing a firm's total risk into [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk, management executives and market participants will not understand how or even whether the operating strategies or components efficiently influence a firm's stock returns risk because a firm's [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk may be driven by different reasons.
There is considerable literature in financial studies presenting significantly evidence that the impact of changes in accounting variables such as firm's sales growth can affect a firm's [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk (2). Recent marketing studies (Fornell et al. 2006; Singh et al. 2005) show that firms with greater intangible market-based assets will have lower firm returns risk. A firm's returns risk could be decomposed into [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk. Regarding [beta]-risk, this study infers that advertising will create intangible market-based assets such as consumer loyalty, which may lead investors to hold their stocks longer (Goetzmann, Peles 1997), and will lower a firm's stock volatilities from market movements, which has a significant negative impact on firm's [beta]-risk. With respect to idiosyncratic risk, or the intrinsic risk that cannot be explained by market movements, investing in intangible market-based assets such as advertising may increase product market demand that stabilizes a firm's operating cash flows, and lowers a firm's idiosyncratic risk. With respect to the relation between R&D and returns risk, Ho et al. (2004) find a significant positive relation between research and development expenditures (R&D) and [beta]-risk, while Xu and Zhang (2004) find a significant positive relation between R&D and total risk. (3) This is because firms may increase the level of uncertainty in their future cash flows by their expenditures on R&D (McAlister et al. 2007). This decreases the predictability of a firm's future income streams (Kothari et al. 2002), which in turn, increases an individual firm's risk. Instead, past research pays less attention to whether changes in a firm's intangible investment, such as advertising and R&D, simultaneously both affects both a firm's [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk, which should be a metric of interest to both finance executives and investors (4). The first goal of this paper is to examine the impact of a firm's advertising and R&D on both dimensions of stock returns risk: [beta]-risk and idiosyncratic risk. …

D600 Pricing US vs Europe
Started Sep 13, 2012 | Discussions thread
Shop cameras & lenses ▾
Hansplast26 OP • Senior Member • Posts: 1,246
Re: Apples compared to oranges!
I was thinking about buying the d600 while on a business trip to the US. but I think it is not worth it, with regards to the warranty.
Today I made up my mind and didn't want to participate in this price war. I was also thinking ahead, that maybe in a couple of years I might want to sell the camera and if the camera is a d800 it likely sells much better. so i picked up a d800 during lunch break.
our local vat is going to be increased from 19.5% to 21% soon. pffffff:)

The waves are just about perfect today, so it's a good thing you wore the Billabong Women's Surf Series Avalon Bandeau Bikini Top. This top's staying put in the surf thanks in part to its durable Xtra Life Lycra, which offers a beautiful fit and resistance to chlorine, sun, and salt. Once you come out of the water, you're also looking great in this bandeau with removable, adjustable straps and an eye-catching criss-cross back.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
ok but not my favorite
Buy a size larger than normal because it runs a little small. Also, because this is a tube top style top it kinda flattens when you might like to have a boost. Probably better for someone with silicone. Made of pretty good material though
suit in action!
Billabong spring/summer
Oh what a life
Top runs a bit small
I am a 34A and the size S top was too small! I have literally never had that happen before! I ordered the medium and it is still snug, which is what i wanted for swim/ surf, but not pinching like the small was. Fabric is sturdy and super quick-drying.
are the straps removable?
Where can I buy the rainbow billabong...

Often we need to know the present value of amounts expected in the future. We calculate the present value by discounting the future amounts. In this situation discounting means 1) removing a specified amount of interest, or 2) adjusting for the time value of money. The concept is that receiving $1,000 in the future is less valuable than receiving $1,000 today.
If we assume that the time value of money is 10% per year, a net receipt of $1,000 one year from today will have a present value of $909. In other words, we discounted the future value of $1,000 by $91. With a time value of money of 10%, the $909 can be invested today and will grow by $91 ($909 x 10%) to be $1,000 in one year. Receiving a net amount of $1,000 in two years will have a present value of only $826. The reason is that $826 invested today at a compounded rate of 10% will grow to $1,000 in two years. If all amounts are certain, you will be in the same position whether you have $826 today or you receive $1,000 in two years.

DB 2006 LbNA # 27702 (ARCHIVED)

|Found By

|Sep 3 2007
|Hike Distance
Well its that time of year again. I find myself here at Hueston Woods for yet another round of the mind-numbing meetings .hohum.
To find the meeting you will need to find a trail in the park that has a wooden structure at the beginning rather like those you find at amusement parks. Taulbees 7-90. (Hint : it is on the road toward the cabins). Follow this trail unitl you come a fork with the trail sign (you might want to take note of this sign for future reference). Turn right onto the loop trail and go over the deadfall. You will go thru another amusement park waiting line across a grassy clearing under the power lines into a piney wooded area. As you continue you will begin to see white E poles. At the first E-pole take the trail at 320. At the second E-pole take the trail at 330. 17 paces from the second E-pole you will encounter yet another E-pole on the left. Continue down this trial until you see a sign on your right about hydrating your ride. From this sign at 120 is a large multi-trunked tree. The DB 2006 meeting is going on at the base of this tree beneath a cairn of rocks.
Please re-hide it and pile the rocks back on so that the box stays put.

Tried a bit of a different style on this one and wanted to do a multiple canvas piece. Turned out well, i was pleased.
really enjoyed the art deco-ness of this piece(s). i have yet to try florals or human portraits but this def inspired me.
Love how this extends through three frames, especially the different sizing. I would definitely hang this on my wall!

"Musée du Tram Bruxellois" Woluwé-Saint-Pierre Things to Do Tip by Norali
Woluwé-Saint-Pierre Things to Do: 5 reviews and 11 photos
My commune has two quite OTBP museums. This Musée du tram (Tram Museum of Brussels) is the second I wanted to talk about, the first being the Book Binding museum in Bibliotheca Wittockiana.
The tram museum is a working museum with not only old trams but also old busses.
Open from 1.30pm to 7pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from the first weekend of April until the first weekend of October.
For more, see hereafter website http://www.mtub.be/
When in, choose your language (English included).
Also, check hereafter website to see images of those old models of trams and busses. When in, you can see other pics (click on thumbnails on the left). http://users.skynet.be/mtub/Fr/GalerietramshistoFr.html
It's a shame that I live 5 minutes from the museums (both Wittockiana and Musée du tram) but never visited them. The museums in the center appealed me more. One day.. one day, maybe :) However, those museums are more OTBP ones. A real running off for both kids and lesser kids :)
Address: 364 Avenue de Tervuren, near Mellaerts pond.
Directions: Take Metroline 1B (dir. Stockel). Step down at Metro M station Montgomery. There, take Tram 39 (dir. Ban Eik) or 44 (dir. Tervuren) from their terminus. Step down at 6th stop "Depot de Woluwe/Woluwe Remise". Tram museum is just at your left.

Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this review
Darrell walked out and claimed he was on Vicodin and Red Bull. Whatever he was really on caused him to slur his speech and generally have no understanding of his surroundings.
Darrell did voices as expected, but in no way tried to incorporate comedy or make sense of his routine. I would not recommend anyone paying to see a Darrell Hammond show. Instead, watch some old episodes of SNL and appreciate comedy that someone else scripted for him.
A regular on "Saturday Night Live" from 1995 to 2009, Darrell Hammond is the longest-running cast member in the show's history. His impressions have been applauded by television critics and viewers alike for their uncanny accuracy and range. After playing President Bill Clinton throughout most of his time in office, Hammond played practically the entire Bush Administration from Vice President Dick Cheney to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld — sometimes in the same sketch. Hammond impersonated Vice President Al Gore in a performance so telling that it was used as a reference in preparation for the 2000 Presidential debates.
Other political highlights include Jesse Jackson, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Hammond has also played media figures including Dan Rather, Ted Koppel, Geraldo Rivera, Bob Costas, Bill Kurtis, Tim Russert, Phil Donahue, Bill O'Reilly, Aaron Brown and Chris Matthews of MSNBC's "Hardball," as well as celebrities such as Donald Trump, Regis Philbin (for which he won a "Relly" award from Regis himself), Sean Connery and Jay Leno.
In April 1997, Hammond was applauded in the media for his dead-on impression of President Clinton during a surprise appearance with the President himself at an event before thousands of government officials and members of the Washington Press Corps. He returned to D.C. to perform as himself for newly elected President George W. Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2001. He has also performed for Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld and countless Senators.
For the last several years, Hammond has been performing stand-up comedy and impressions in New York and throughout the country. On film, he has been seen in the feature films "Scary Movie 3," "New York Minute," and "Agent Cody Banks." He has also lent his vocal talents to the animated version of "The King and I." On television, Hammond has guest starred on NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Las Vegas" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and is a regular guest on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," as well as the "Late Show with David Letterman."

text: Are Stocks Topping Out? Dianne Lob October 10, 2013 Americas, Equities With global equity market returns of well over 100% since the bottom hit in March 2009 (Display) and the S&P 500 only modestly below the record it set a few weeks ago, some investors are asking if stocks are heading for a fall. We think any number of things could cause a short-term rollback—among them, the political stalemate in Washington—but the market isn't overpriced. Global equity valuations are still around their historical averages, not resoundingly cheap by most traditional measures, but not rich either (Display). And with bond yields rising from historical lows, stocks are extremely attractive relative to bonds. Overall, we find stocks to be good value these days, particularly outside the US. What About the US Budget Crisis? The gridlock over the US budget and debt ceiling and the government shutdown has knocked several percent age points off the US stock-market indices in recent weeks. Budget battles have caused a dozen government shutdowns over the last 30 years or so, with only minor market impact, as Seth Masters and I wrote recently. While this shutdown is dragging on longer than most, it will likely be resolved in the near term—very possibly in conjunction with an accord on the debt ceiling. Failure to raise the debt ceiling, by contrast, would be a very serious matter, potentially fueling global market volatility if it led to a US-government debt default. But in our view, it's an unthinkable scenario for all parties in the political process. We expect them to find a resolution before the government actually defaults—whether that date is October 17 or somewhat later. Indeed, as of this writing, there was indication of some movement in that direction. Meanwhile, we're making some modest portfolio changes to provide us with some insulation in the unlikely event of a Treasury default. Where the Best Stock Opportunities Lies Assumingthat the logjam in Washington breaks, we see room for more growth in global stocks. The opportunities continue to be abundant across sectors, geographies, and investment styles, rather than concentrated by industry or geography. Broadly speaking, we favor cyclical stocks like financials and housing-related shares, as the economic recovery continues to take root slowly. International markets currently offer somewhat richer opportunities than US stocks, because there are greater economic and policy uncertainties and these markets have recovered less lost ground. In style terms, we find the value opportunity most compelling, despite the value rebound over the last year. Supposedly "safe" high-dividend-yielding stocks, by contrast, remain risky: overpriced relative to their own history and more vulnerable than most stocks to rising bond yields.

Anyway... I've had them on for a few weeks and am actually impressed. So far, with my super cute nails, I've: split wood, worked in the garden, moved a bunch of rocks, worked with horses, mowed the lawn, washed the dog, scrubbed the shower, worked a little on my truck and did my usual chores.
They're not doing too bad. I may actually try them again!
Here's a picture. Don't mind the grubbiness. I was working outside and plus, it's real. And remember, they've been on for a couple weeks.

Rain Team

Join Date: Aug 2009

Posts: 44
So my friends and I have been doing some weather teams, and I decided to do some heavy rain with Drizzle Politoed, so without further ado, I present my current ideas for my rain team.
Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spe
-Perish Song
Politoed is here to set up Drizzle, obviously; Scald for some rage-inducing burns, with Toxic for slow-painful death (depending on my opponent); Protect for some sort of recovery with Leftovers, also to assist with the damage done from Toxic/Burn; Perish Song to force out threats I can't deal with.
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SDef
-Leech Seed
This is a defensive Ludicolo that maximizes HP and HP recovery every turn with 252 EVs in HP, Leech Seed, Rain Dish, and Leftovers, which will restore the HP used for Substitute very quickly. Substitute to protect myself from high-power attacks, Scald/Protect for doing damage while I restore health.
Toxicroak @ Black Sludge
Ability: Dry Skin
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 244 HP/252 Atk/12 Def
-Focus Punch
-Sucker Punch
-Poison Jab/Ice Punch
244 in HP for substitute, with Black Sludge and Dry Skin for recovery purposes; 244 HP with 12 Def to provide a Black Sludge number; max attack with an adamant nature for maximum power behind his punches. SubPunch set is obvious, with Sucker Punch for some needed priority, while Poison Jab for dual stab, or Ice Punch for better coverage.
Dragonite @ Life Orb/Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
Nature: Mild
EVs: 76 Atk/252 SAtk/180 Spe
-Aqua Tail/Superpower
I originally had a Swift Swim Kingdra, but only to learn that Swift Swim+Drizzle is banned, so I decided to abuse Hurricane's 100% accuracy with Dragonite. He provides some good team synergy and Hurricane abuse.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef
-Leech Seed
-Gyro Ball/Protect
-Power Whip
This set is meant to come in, set up some spikes and seeds and then go out fighting, although he may be worth saving in the future in case of a rapid spinner or something of the sort.
Jolteon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP
-Volt Switch
-Shadow Ball/Signal Beam
-Hidden Power {Fire}/{Ice}
I went with Choice Specs for more power, which I sacrificed with Timid over Modest nature- Shadow Ball and Signal Beam both Psychics super-effectively, while they each provide unique coverage of their own.
Critique, swap Pokemon, alter existing ones, ect. I'm very open minded when it comes to team making, so I'll listen to any and all suggestions.

Equally so, for people who work outside the home or for lifelong learners going back to college, the transition from carefree summer days to the grind of a busier season can be daunting.

What's Tina Hiding?
Holmes, Anna, Newsweek
Byline: Anna Holmes
Tina Fey may be the most admired woman in show business. If only she would act the part.
Tina Fey occupies a special place in the contemporary American cultural imagination: it's hard to know where her characters end and she begins. She is, as a character, not only the most famous working woman on television but a role model to many as she navigates the Sturm und Drang of singlehood, corporate intrigue, and irresistible food. But is that really Tina Fey?
This tension between her comedy and her actual beliefs is on full display in her latest effort, the memoir Bossypants, which purports to be a book "about how she got here." The only daughter of a solidly middle-class family from suburban Philadelphia, Fey begins her tale in typical self-deprecating fashion, relating amusing anecdotes about body-hair removal, first periods ("nowhere in the pamphlet did anyone say it wasn't a blue liquid"), and run-ins with specula (she fainted). From there we follow our plucky heroine as she goes from a summer theater program to a preppy Southern university, and then to Chicago, where she performs with the fabled Second City company and scores a job as a writer on Saturday Night Live. As Liz Lemon herself would say, "I want to go to there."
Except there isn't much "there" to be had. Fey treats Bossypants as an extension of her television alter ego. Edging up to difficult truths and skipping away may make for sophisticated sitcoms, but it doesn't make for satisfying memoir writing. The most successful autobiographies demand a certain amount of psychic heavy lifting, risk taking, and interrogation of one's ideas; Fey will have none of it, which contributes to the nagging feeling that, despite her prodigious talents, she can be a little too clever by half.
This past February, NBC aired an episode of 30 Rock in which Fey's character is prompted to hire a baby-voiced, busty female comic after an influential women's website, JoanOfSnark.com, criticizes Liz for the paucity of her show's female writers and performers. That site was a spot-on parody of Jezebel.com, the pop-culture-and-politics blog I created in 2007.
The episode, titled "TGS Hates Women," was a direct commentary on, among other things, the challenges facing women in comedy, gender politics, sexuality as cultural currency, and guilt-free cheesecake recipes. …

The Homeland Security Department is issuing a redesigned "green card" that is stacked with safety features to help combat fraud and counterfeiting.
The card has been a variety of colors over its decades-long history. The new design has lettering and green shading that make it easier for immigration officials to recognize it.
The card signifies that its holder entered legally and is allowed to live and work in the U.S.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys aren't exactly looking at the Oakland Raiders' diminished defensive line as an advantage.
The Cowboys (0-3) are realistic. They're still a largely young and inexperienced offense, and - as Dallas running back Emmitt Smith says - you can't underestimate the Raiders (2-1).
The Raiders lost pass-rush specialist Trace Armstrong this week to a ruptured Achilles' tendon. Defensive tackle Darrell Russell is still on suspension. Linemen Roderick Coleman and Grady Jackson are hurting.
"One thing about the Raiders is they've always been a very talented team and I'm quite sure they've got some great depth behind those individuals," Smith said. "You're not vulnerable until you play bad and I think they got guys who can step in there and fill some of those individuals' shoes."
Cowboys vs. Raiders
What: Dallas Cowboys (0-3) vs. Oakland Raiders (2-1), 3:15 p.m., Network Associates Coliseum, Oakland, Cali.
Line: The Raiders are favored by 19 points.
Last Week: The Philadephia Eagle embarrased the Cowboys, 40-18. In the loss, the Cowboys committed five turnovers and had a punt blocked. The Raiders played their home opener last Sunday and coasted to a 38-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Rich Gannon threw three touchdown passes, including two to future Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
Last Meeting: The teams last met in 1998 in Dallas, with the Raiders posting a 13-12 victory. Oakland leads the all-time series, 4-3.
TV/Radio: KCIT (cable ch. 13), KPAN (860-AM), KPAN (106.3-FM)
This was supposed to be a bye week for both teams, but because of a potential conflict with the Oakland Athletics and baseball's playoffs at the Coliseum, both teams agreed to move the game from Oct. 21.
Cowboys coach Dave Campo said earlier this week opposing defenses would have the best chance against the Cowboys if they blitzed. And he fully expects it from the Raiders.
"I think from our standpoint, the way we handle the blitz, we've struggled a little bit and we anticipate them doing a little bit more of it," Campo said.
But it's uncertain what the Raiders' retooled D-line can do.
Armstrong has surgery this week to repair his right Achilles' tendon after going down in last week's 38-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He is out for the season. Coleman was listed as doubtful for Sunday with a hamstring injury, while Jackson was questionable with a sore right shoulder. Russell continued serving the last of a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The Raiders signed defensive end Darren Mickell to help make up for those absences. Mickell was with the Raiders through training camp, but was cut.
The Raiders also will use rookie defensive tackle Chris Cooper, a sixth-round draft pick out of Nebraska-Omaha, and second-year lineman Junior Ioane.
On offense, the banged-up Raiders lost center Barret Robbins for the season with a knee injury after their 18-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. They didn't experience any dropoff last Sunday against the Seahawks when long snapper Adam Treu stepped in. If anything, the Raiders' entire offense stepped it up.
"You can't go out every week and expect to put up 450 yards and score 40 points," said quarterback Rich Gannon. "But, obviously, we weren't satisfied or comfortable with what we did down in Miami, and I felt we responded in a positive way by playing a lot better offensively against Seattle."
The Cowboys have problems of their own.
They have opened 0-3 for the first time since 1989 - Troy Aikman's rookie season - when they lost their first eight and were 1-15 overall.
Their young offense has turned the ball over 13 times, including five turnovers in last Sunday's 40-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rookie quarterback Quincy Carter was expected to start Sunday after missing the past two games with a right thumb injury. His backup, Anthony Wright, went 7-of-23 for only 33 yards against the Eagles.
"We have to eliminate the turnovers that we're doing offensively and we have to make plays offensively," Smith said. "We just have to go out there and protect our quarterback at the same time and see what happens from that point on."
"The day that we put all that together in one ballgame, it would be kind of interesting to see how well we do play."

Clarkston Consulting recently brought together a group of these eCTD innovators and early adopters of eCTD implementation for a roundtable discussion. These regulatory experts—charged with eCTD implementation at their companies—shared their specific challenges and insights to the process. Applied Clinical Trials was invited to report on the event.
Criteria for the toolThere are approximately 15 eCTD vendors offering an eCTD software solution. In selecting the eCTD tool, the roundtable participants discussed what went into their tool criteria process.
Henricks added: "As a CRO, we then had to look at what kind of return on investment we would get because we don't own our projects, we basically have outsourced projects that come to us for creation." The list of requirements then went to the global regions, for consensus on criteria on the Quintiles' short list.
Carol Rutkowski, senior director, global regulatory operations for Shire Pharmaceuticals, also explained the need for a global solution. "We established a global team, which took into consideration global and regional requirements and we made sure all those parameters were met."
Albert Edwards, PharmD, RAC, director, regulatory operations for Takeda Global Research & Development Center in Lake Forest, IL, described his company as early adopters, though on the Roger's Curve, they appear more as innovators having moved to eCTD since 2000.
"Even though we were pretty U.S.-centric at the time, we needed publishing that could occur at 7:30, 8:30, 10:30 at night, and we wanted to make sure that we had that kind of coverage. We also wanted the ability to have a development copy of the software that we could bring in-house for testing and kicking the tires to see if it worked."
What comprises tire kicking? To Edwards, a pilot test and a load test of the software is key. Once criteria is set, the pilot test before the product implementation will go a long way in determining the tool's actual usability and impact on IT resources before the fact. "I've got to pilot test what I'm going to use ahead of time so that I'm reassured the needs of the organization and our user population are met," remarked Edwards.
Valerie Mackner, MS, senior manager, global regulatory operations with Wyeth Research, said the company has had its own in-house solution since 2002. As an early adopter of eCTD, she explained that at that time, they felt available off-the-shelf solutions weren't going to fit their requirements. Now they are looking for a tool with more functionality.
Said Mackner, "We need to be able to validate within the tool and we need a tool that allows us to see things the way health authorities are viewing. Right now, our tool does not mirror what FDA sees, or the EMEA, so those are the kind of requirements we're going to be looking at."
Other requirements included that the tool be Web-based and integrate well with the document software used. And selecting the tool also involves selecting the right vendor.
Tool selection equals vendor selection
When it comes to selecting the tool, it seems IT should have a good sized role. Many of these early adopters say that the IT department will perform its own audits of the technology vendors. Those audits include examining information such as financial viability of the vendor and infrastructure requirements.
In addition, Edwards suggests that you ask the vendor what its history is with hitting targets on software version upgrades. "You want to be assured that upgrades will actually occur within the time frame originally promised so your organization can be appropriately prepared. Delays in software version upgrades have potential impacts on IT staffing for other projects and possible budget implications if the upgrade arrives in the next budget year."
Rutkowski noted that going into the selection, sponsors should be aware that the original vendor contact who is consulted may not be the same person who works on your implementation. Therefore, they may not be up-to-date on your original stated requirements.
The group consensus was that with the number of vendors out there, the onus falls on the sponsor to do its homework. In addition to the IT needs, the level of vendor experience, vendor's upgrade plans, vendor's hitting upgrades (as previously noted), and the financial stability of the vendor go into the tool selection process. Ideally, the number of technology vendors to bring into the selection process should be narrowed down to between three and five. Anymore than that can be time consuming and unproductive.
