I just looked at my copy of Jim's report. The section I would use is "School For Profit." (Michael was making us dig for it. *g*) Then I would combine it with Michael's suggestion. The only thing I would do different is that I would write the material myself. That way you wouldn't have to go through some of the hassles Jim discusses. Beyond that, the model is perfect.
