Boston College Daily Links: Replacing Andre Williams

Housekeeping: You may have noticed that the color of recommended comments has changed. Gone is the old green background and green thumbs up when a comment receives three recommendations. In it's place are more customized recommend colors for each blog. For BC Interruption, that means maroon thumbs up and gold background. Huzzah, SBN product team!

Also, since you are all getting the hang of this recommend thing, it'll now take four Recs to highlight a comment.
