Also and I hope I am wrong, but with the kind of money these guys are now getting upfront, is it just me or have we seen an increase in the number of holders of these new huge contracts, drop-off in level of play once the ink is dry?  Hard to blame someone that just tucked enough cash in the bank to take care of him and 30 families for a lifetime, if his commitment to a dangerous job drops off a bit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
