      <link>http://blog.vcu.edu/ts/alerts/</link>
      <description>The Alerts blog details recent alerts from Technology Services in four categories: Critical, Ongoing, Planned, and Past. Critical and Ongoing alerts are timely and address unexpected issues that affect the whole university community or selected portions. Planned alerts address events scheduled for a specific time and date (more details can often be found on the Planned System Changes website). Past alerts are archived and address issues that have been resolved.</description>
