    U of L’s boiler article link is broken and I don’t notice its existence in a cursory search of C-J. Do you have that news someplace else too?

    I’m not sure why the C-J kills some of the links it sends through its RSS feed, Phlyingpenguin. I found a different link and updated the post, thanks for pointing out the problem. Just in case, here’s the link again here.
