[Babase] conference call about matured and ranked dates

Hello Jeanne, Susan, Tabby (Karl?),

Can we set up a conference call to talk about the rules for matured-by, 
ranked-by and dispersed-by dates? Currently we get an error in Babase if 
they occur after the statdate. This rule creates errors because we 
currently calculate these dates as the midpoint between the last time 
they were seen and the next census day. This can result in dates many 
months after the statdate during times of spotty monitoring. We either 
need to change the way we calculate dates or change the rule in Babase 
to allow for these markers to occur after the statdate.

Thanks,
Leah
