That error indicates there are no new articles available on the sites RSS feeds.

There were no new articles since December, 30th in 2011. The recipy discards all articles older than two days. In the end, the list of articles is empty and calibre fails.

As soon as the Moscow Times will provide new articles, the recipy will work again.
