			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to express my congratulations to our newest Brown Belts.   The test was challenging!  It pushed everyone to a new level.  I am very proud of all of you for your achievement and performance.  It has been a long journey to get to this point and I look forward to promoting all of you to the rank of Shodan in the near future!  Keep up the great work and keep walking through the door!   I would also like to extend a special thanks to all of you that played a part in the test.  Without your collective participation it would not have been possible to have such and outstanding test!  </p>
<p>Again thank you to everyone!</p>
