			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On behalf of everyone at Avistrum Academy of Sorcery, I would like to apologize profusely for <a href="http://avistrum.org/wp-content/persephone/">the message</a> many of you encountered when you visited the website in the last 36 hours.  We are still not sure how Persephone managed to seize control of the site, but please rest assured that we are investigating the matter thoroughly.  We have re-established control of the website, and we promise no more disruptions of this kind in the future.</p>
<p>We know that Persephone&#8217;s letter may have scared some of you, causing you to question whether you wish to return to Avistrum for the <a href="http://avistrum.org/pensieve/2007/07/26/tales-from-avistrum-kings-and-pawns/">Fall Term</a>.  Please rest assured that we are taking every precaution to guarantee your safety.  As a gesture of thanks for your continued patience, and to help convince you to re-join us this year, we are going to honor the tuition discount (distastefully named though it may be) that Persephone hacked into the registration page.  You can redeem the discount at <a href="http://talesfromavistrum.eventbrite.com/">http://talesfromavistrum.eventbrite.com/</a> with the discount code &#8220;NEWORDER&#8221; from now until October 15.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your patience and courage.</p>
