Knitting the Exercise_03_BigData.Rmd file fails due to an error on line 75:
fia_table = readHTMLTable(fia_html)[[6]]
Error message:
Warning: XML content does not seem to be XML:
The preceeding statement getURL("http://apps.fs.fed.us/fiadb-downloads/datamart.html") returns an empty character (""). Apparently, the site no longer exists. Probably worth finding another example here?

Thanks for the bug report. This appears to be an issue with a change in URL -- I've updated that URL as well as the URLs in questions 1 and 2. Let me know if you run into any other issues
