Dean''s next mode of transportation was the bicycle (shown in Figure 2). Like most kids, he gained a sense of independence, learned new skills (balance), and experienced new thrills (speed)! He discovered that unforeseen circumstances can lead to personal injury. He also learned valuable lessons about looking ahead for hidden dangers and judging distances in the event of having to make an emergency stop or maneuver. Bike riding is great preparation for learning to drive a fun kart.Figure 3 is a photo of Dean and his 6-year-old brother, Jacob, riding in an entry-level fun kart. This is where driver training really gets serious, This fun kart has a steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals, and three-point safety seat/shoulder belts. Due to their low center of gravity, the two-seat models safely carry a passenger and driver--when driven as recommended by the manufacturer (at a safe speed for the present road conditions and hazards). All fun karts are required to have overhead brush guards to provide limited protection against obstacles in compliance with American Fun Kart Association (AFKA) standards. All karts are also required to have drive-train guards to protect against entanglement of such objects as clothing and hair. Dean is sitting on his dad''s quad in Figure 4 (see page 20). He is not yet allowed to drive it! Although many quads are driven by youngsters, too many of them have terrible accidents because of excessive speed, a high center of gravity, and a lack of rider protection. Also, handlebar steering and the coordination necessary for hand-and-foot braking are not skills that will carry over to driving a street-legal vehicle.

Happy with hoopsHoop buildings are a top pick on the Stockmen''s Survey[TM] as a management change tied to a product. With pigs from 900 sows being finished in 12 hoop barns, Dave Struthers (shown on page 33) has learned a bit about this housing system since he built his first barn in 1996. The materials (wood, concrete, poles, and tarp) for a hoop barn that holds 200 finishing pigs costs about $8,000. Most of Struthers'' barns are made by Sioux Steel.Struthers, who farms with his family near Collins, Iowa, says hoop production works well for him and offers these tips based on his experience:

This year''s listing contains 362 jackup units, including existing rigs and announced newbuildings, a decrease of two from last year. The listing excludes: shallow-water units working in inland waters, several rigs of the Former Soviet Union fleet, and those in non-drilling modes. The loss of two rigs results from the deletion of two listings. No additional newbuildings were added.Low crude prices continued to cut offshore operators'' drilling budgets in 1999, as reflected by reduced utilization and dayrates that continued the low levels of late 1998. The U.S. Gulf of Mexico saw rate cuts approaching 50% of early-1998 levels, as did Africa and and Asia. Even the North Sea saw cuts of more than 20%.
