Title: VATUSA Event Feed

Did the URL change for the VATUSA Events feed or is the link broken? All of the sudden our site is not picking up VATUSA events.

When I put the URL http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php (http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php) on any browser I get this:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php (http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php)
Line Number 48, Column 38:      <title>04/03/2015: ZFW FNO Casino & Suicide Ops</title>

Blame ZFW for putting an "&" (which apparently isn't getting properly translated to "&amp;") in their event title.

Ah... the errors that go years and years without being discovered.  Need to hurry with the new code.  But this should properly encode those characters now, for whatever reason the original author only encoded the description and left the title unencoded.
