  Class Sessions to Become a Standard 4 Hours in Length and Include a Lab Section
  
  --Beginning with the week of August 2, 2009, all WITTP class sessions will be conducted on a standard 4 hours in length. 
  
  --All class sessions will include a "lab" section, which will permit immediate application of class topics to projects of immediate interest to participants.
  
  These changes are implemented to (a) increase topic coverage in all class sessions and (b) permit session participants to avoid the "use it or lose it" issue.  The changes will have no affect on costs, which remain for now at $10/class hour per person.
