Hi Karl,

For reasons I cannot explain, the same files that would not upload a 
week ago are now uploading into biograph.

I guess the sacrificial chickens worked...?

So far I have (mostly) updated BIOGRAPH and CENSUS in babase_test...with 
a few glitchy things that I'm ironing out though the protocol, I think.
But here is an error I haven't seen before and don't understand.  I 
tried to upload 3 new females to the MATUREDATES  table.  I got

ERROR: RWA: MATUREDATES.Matured more than 1 year after the date of a 
female point sample

I don't understand why we care if the maturedate later than 1 year after 
a point sample.  As long as the female is under observation as part of 
the census, why do the point samples matter?
