Very crude first pass.  
Limits

- Once a year run
- Uses Year days (i.e. january 25 is year day 25)
- Effects all topics

Question does anyone have any idea how to do something like the category filters in a users preferences. I would like to use that to limit or exclude which categories to effect in the plugin.
