Johns Hopkins professors propose new calendarBy: The Associated Press | 12/31/11 1:02 PM Two Johns Hopkins professors are proposing a new calendar in which dates would fall on the same days of the week every year. The calendar proposed by Richard Conn Henry, an astrophysicist, and Steve H. Hanke, an applied economist, begins each year on Sunday, Jan. 1. **SNIP** The professors, who also advocate "Universal Time" over time zones, say the new calendar would simplify planning and financial market calculations. They hope to take their proposal to the United Nations and attract worldwide interest.
