Thanks for the formula, this goes into the hopper!

Really?  January 1st falling on a Friday means trouble for this algorithm:
the 3rd of January is in the second week.
You might try combining what you know about Julian dates (like the nifty
formula above) to get what DOW the 1st of January is... that will help
supply a constant to let you adjust what "week" your day is in after using
the "divide by 7" rule.
