Is there a Selection Brush Tool in CS5?

I recently moved up from Photoshop Elements to CS5 which included a Selection Brush Tool in addition to the Quick Selection Brush.  The Selection Brush Tool allows you to paint a selection free style without being bothered by the "Quick" feature that provides guesses about where you might want to select.  I could not find the Selection Brush Tool in CS5.  Is there one?  The lasso is not as easy to use.

Thanks.

    The "selection brush" in Elements is a subset of the QuickMask mode in Photoshop.

    Quick Select is something else.

    Not as easy to get at...but I guess it works.

    Easier since it's on the tool bar, or thq 'q' key, and can use any of the tools to create your selection.
