I seem to be having problems with the SD listings.  When I run MFDB, I 
see the following:

Resolving webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com... 54.85.117.227

My account is NOT expired (confirmed on the SD website).  I have not 
seen this happen with the previous service.  Looks like something odd 
going on.

Later in the same MFDB run, I see:

2014-10-17 10:25:37.828 Main temp tables populated.
2014-10-17 10:25:37.829 Did not find any new program data.

The "Failed to fetch some program info" I think is a result of some of 
the data fetches reporting Account Expired.
