Update: According to a comment just posted by a Bloglines employee, the feed is not actually fixed yet. They blame it on my ISP’s header support, which I’ll look into, though I don’t understand why Bloglines is the only aggregator that has this problem. ******* Naturally, they fix the feed just as I’m flogging them.

That 413,000-person student body includes 40 percent of all New York State high school graduates and roughly 37 […]
