BHL Website Experiencing Technical Difficulties 7/16/2015

UPDATE: Tech difficulties and performance issues on BHL have been mostly resolved. Another brief outage may be required later today or tonight to complete the recovery. Thanks for your patience. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties that are causing slowness on the BHL website and affecting PDF generation and OCR display. We are working to correct the issue as soon as possible, and apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned for more updates.
