    It looks like the problem is due to bylines. Article with the standard byline is fine but articles that do not have the correct place will throw the error.

    Removing the following line would fix the problem:
    item.abstractNote = byline.match(/\-\s+(.*)$/)[1];

    The translator would not have the author for articles that don't follow the standard byline format. But probably better to have it working for the most part, then not at all.
