 * The admin dashboard is causing a fatal error:
    wpsc_dashboard_news seams to be
   throwing a fatal error.
 * [10-Apr-2012 18:23:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes
   exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /public_html/domain.ca/path/wp-includes/
   class-simplepie.php on line 11681
 * This is prevented if I deactivate (comment out) the content of the function wpsc_dashboard_news.
 * To reproduce this issue you may need to add the following to your theme function
   file:
 *     ```
       // remove admin dashboard widgets for all users
       function ysc_remove_dashboard_widgets() {
       	remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_browser_nag', 'dashboard', 'normal' );
       	remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_plugins', 'dashboard', 'normal' );
       	remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'side' );
       	remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_secondary', 'dashboard', 'side' );
       }
       add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'ysc_remove_dashboard_widgets' );
       ```
   
 * I did try to trouble shoot this, but times up…
