<body>Tim, there is only one thing that was not incorporated in the new Advanced that maybe should have been and that was 1 - 3 inverted entries or exits at the turnarounds otherwise everything else prepares you for Masters quite well. <BR><BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If we “dumb down” Masters to make the jump from Advance to Masters flow better on the skills set required then we might very well bore those that have been in masters for awhile. If we don’t do we relegate those moving up to Masters several years of practice to get competitive? Maybe this is the answer, make the jump so hard it takes awhile to learn the skill set, or it just could be a dropping out point fliers won’t bother to try to go beyond. Yeah I know, “If it was easy even a cavemen could do it” </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">J</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></P>
