Enjoying this year?s holiday calendar? It doesn?t happen every year that Christmas and New Year?s Eve fall on the weekend.

A Johns Hopkins University? ? Johns Hopkins University Latest from The Business Journals Belward Farm family and Johns Hopkins spar againJohns Hopkins: 'No plans' to build housing at Belward Farm in Mont. Co.Johns Hopkins denies residential units for Belward Farm Follow this company research team has released a new calendar in which that?s the case every year. They used computer programs and mathematical formulas to develop a year-long calendar that remains the same, year in and year out. It would keep holidays and birthdays on the same day of the week every year, something the researchers say is not only practical but could have a financial impact, such as in the case of interest accrual over 30- or 90-day periods.
?Our proposed permanent calendar has a predictable 91-day quarterly pattern of two months of 30 days and a third month of 31 days, which does away with the need for artificial day count conventions,? Steve H. Hanke, an applied economist in Hopkins? Whiting School of Engineering, said in a statement. Hanke developed the calendar along with Hopkins astrophysicist Richard Conn Henry.
It would prevent the need for businesses, schools and governments from coordinating new calendars around holidays each year. Each month would have 30 days, except March, June, September and December, which would have 31, making each quarter of the year 91 days long.
Instead of leap years, the calendar would tack on an extra week every five or six years.
And every year, Christmas would fall on a Sunday, New Year?s Eve and St. Patrick?s Day on Saturdays, and the Fourth of July on a Wednesday. To check out the full calendar and the argument for switching, check out the researchers? website ...
