I plan on changing that today.  I assumed (correctly) that Tribune had already smoothed out the times for folks using "Next Suggested" so I didn't 
want to mess that up... I was focused on other sections of the code.

After my tweaking that would still work, you'll just get "close" to 24 hours, not exactly.

If someone does choose to use cron, please schedule it for the afternoon.  Cron users seem to download around local midnight or 1am, and there are 
massive spikes.  The data loads around 10am central, so I suggest if you go cron, pick a random hour/minute between 11am and 5pm so you get good 
prime-time data. (best way to pick a random minute, is use the minute right now!)

I plan on emailing folks getting data during the bigger spike times asking them to move.
