The criteria for getting a course 12 certified through NCP is a much higher 13 standard than ours anyway, so we're not losing 14 anything there, we're actually gaining 15 something. 16 And everyone is moving to it, to be 17 honest with you anyway. It's just a way for 18 us to move those into our state, that kind of 19 thing. 20 So that's what we're trying to do in 21 terms of the advance training with this 22 workshop. 23 RON PIERINI: Thanks, Mike.
