A satellite positioning system and method of maintaining the positioning and clock data of a satellite using as few as one or two monitoring stations is disclosed. Each satellite of the positioning system determines its own positioning and clock data relative to other satellites in a constellation. One or more satellite signal monitoring stations receive relative clock and positioning data from a plurality of satellites in the constellation. A constellation solution which is applicable to all of the satellites in the constellation is calculated by treating the constellation as a rigid body at a fixed point in time. The constellation solution is transmitted to a satellite of the constellation which disseminates the solution through a crosslink network within the constellation for use by each satellite to update its individual positioning and clock data as needed. Due to the stability of the position and clock measurements using the method of the present invention, satellite uploads need only occur for one satellite in a constellation once each two or more days rather than every day for every satellite as is conventionally done. The use of mobile monitoring stations and the capacity of the positioning system to assist in updating the position and clock data of satellites passing the constellation are disclosed. In particular embodiments of the invention, the satellite positioning system is configured as a global positioning system (GPS).

1. Technical Field
This invention generally relates to satellite systems, and more specifically to a satellite orbit monitoring system which determines and maintains accurate satellite orbit data using as few as one or two ground stations. The invention also relates to providing a common satellite position and time correction data update signal applicable to all satellites in a constellation.
2. Background Art
A Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio positioning network designed to provide users who are equipped with a suitable receiver with position, velocity, and time (PVT) information. Developed by the United States Department of Defense (DOD), the space-based portion of GPS comprises a constellation of GPS satellites in non-geosynchronous 12 hour orbits around the Earth.
A GPS PVT information calculation is based upon a concept referred to as time of arrival (TAO) ranging. The orbiting GPS satellites 101 each broadcast spread spectrum L Band signals such as, for example, L1 at 1575.42 MHz, L2 at 1227.6 MHz and L5 at 1176 MHz, encoded with the satellite ephemeris (satellite positioning data in an Earth-centered-inertial, coordinate system). A GPS receiver receives the signals from a minimum of four satellites and calculates position and time within a margin of error. The GPS receiver may be included within a handheld receiver, a monitoring station, another satellite, or other application where PVT information is useful.
Using conventional satellite positioning systems to generate satellite PVT information for each of the satellites to transmit to GPS receivers, a minimum of four geographically distant monitoring stations are required, and additional geographically distant monitoring stations, i.e. seven or more, are desirable. The four stations are required to measure one each of three position coordinates for each satellite and the time of each satellite. Because four stations are not always available to a satellite, estimations are sometimes made using the assumption that a satellite's orbit is smooth. Nevertheless, the quality and accuracy of the PVT information is related to the number of monitoring stations available. However, because the satellites are spaced from the Earth at approximately 6 times the Earth's radius, the observation geometry between a satellite and four monitoring stations at the same time is not ideal. Each of those monitoring stations monitors its pseudo range from a plurality of satellites with respect to the monitoring station's fixed and known position on Earth, and together they calculate PVT information for the satellites and transmit this information to each of the satellites individually.
With the requirement of conventional positioning systems that at least four ground monitoring stations be operable and accessible at all times to maintain an accurate GPS signal, there is a significant risk that a country's ability to rely upon its GPS system may be compromised if fewer than four monitoring stations are operable at one time. For example, the United States, which relies heavily upon GPS information with its defensive technologies, presently controls seven ground monitoring stations and would need to expend the resources to completely protect at least four of those to be able to continue defending the remainder of the country. If more than three of the seven monitoring stations were destroyed or damaged such that they could not supply the required daily data, the PVT information used by the satellites would degrade and become completely unreliable over time.
Recent technology advances in satellite positioning systems using the GPS PVT information signals have also employed crosslinking technologies, also called inter-satellite communications, which allow the satellites to communicate with each other as well as determine the relative distances between satellites. Examples of crosslinks which determine relative satellite positioning are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,979,830 to Kellermeier (Nov. 9, 1999) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,219,617 B1 to Dreischer et al. (Apr. 17, 2001), the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In each of these patents, a ground monitoring station communicates PVT information to a master satellite which is central to a constellation of satellites. The master satellite, using crosslinks, determines the relative positions of each of the satellites under its control, and communicates position correction instructions to each satellite. This configuration of satellites has also been called the �anchor satellite� configuration. The master satellite, whose orbital position has been determined, acts as an anchor to coordinate the relative position corrections among the other satellites in the constellation and checks that the relative satellite positions are corrected to correspond with the appropriate positions of the satellites in the constellation. The anchor satellite configuration, however, still requires established GPS PVT information to be transmitted to the anchor satellite's receiver for the positioning configuration to properly position the satellites. Thus, the anchor satellite must still reference at least four monitoring stations to obtain accurate GPS PVT information.
The present invention relates to a satellite positioning system configured to maintain its positioning and clock data through the use of as few as only one or two ground monitoring stations. Through the use of crosslinks between the respective satellites in a constellation, the satellites determine their relative positions and clocks. This relative positioning and clock information is used, in conjunction with the relative positions of the two monitoring stations, to determine a positioning and clock solution which is applicable to all of the satellites in the constellation. This positioning and clock solution is then transmitted to any one of the satellites in the constellation which disseminates the solution throughout the network of crosslinks in the constellation. Each satellite applies the solution to its own position and clock data to correct its own data or position as needed.
In embodiments of the present invention, mobile monitoring stations may be used in addition to or instead of stationary stations in situations where stationary stations are impractical or undesirable. Furthermore, because the positioning effect of the methods disclosed in present invention are so stable, the single data correction satellite upload needed for the entire constellation may only be needed once every two days or once every week. This significantly reduces the processing and hardware requirements of existing satellite positioning systems. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the satellite constellation is configured as a global positioning system (GPS). The present invention also contemplates additional satellites, independent or within another constellation, temporarily and passively accessing a satellite within a constellation configured according to the present invention, determining its own relative positioning and clock and applying the constellation solution to itself to update its own clock and positioning data.
The foregoing and other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the particular embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Step 1 of the method of
As illustrated by
Step 2 of the method of
Monitoring stations make ground observations of satellite signals (for example L1/L2 pseudo-range measurements from GPS satellites transmitted to a monitoring station) and are combine data included in these observations in a Kalman or similar type filter to determine constellation orientation and time offset with respect to a common reference, such as the monitoring station's position on Earth. In one particular embodiment of the invention wherein the constellation orientation is determined using only two monitoring stations, three constellation orientation angles, θx, θy and θz, are determined with respect to an Earth-centered inertial (�ECI�) frame. An ECI frame is chosen for exemplary purposes only and the use of other reference frames is possible. The observation vector for the filter relates the orientation angles and a time error vector to a range residual error (measured pseudo-range minus computed pseudo-range) using relational measurement data. For this particular embodiment of the invention, exemplary equations are defined below:
Where Psat=Position of Satellite in an ECI frame {Psatx, Psaty, Psatz}; and Pgrd=Position of Ground Station in an ECI frame {Pgrdx, Pgrdy, Pgrdz}. This observation vector {θx, θy, θx, and δt} relates to an observation between a monitoring station and a single satellite. Observations from multiple satellites may than be arranged into a matrix Hm and the range residual error into a vector rresidual.
The solution for the constellation orientation and timing error may be calculated in a least squares form from the equation:
In another particular embodiment of the invention wherein the constellation orientation is determined using only one monitoring station, the same types of angles and vector data are used to determine the constellation orientation, but the measurements are taken from a single monitoring station over time. By forming the vector matrices from data collected by a single monitoring station over time, in essence, the single monitoring station looks like two or more monitoring stations. This enables the necessary relative positional data to be gathered and the constellation orientation calculated even if only one monitoring station is available or able to receive valid data.
Step 3 of the method of
One example of equations which may be used to apply these corrections to an individual satellite are of the form:
As shown in
To obtain the measurement components to make the needed calculations for constellation orientation and mean time offset, four measurements are needed (five if clock synchronization of the two monitor station clocks is desired). These four measurements may be selected from among the numerous measurements taken by an available monitoring station. At any given time in a 24 satellite constellation, such as the present GPS constellation, approximate 20 measurements will be available between the two stations, but we only need 4. If we assume that the error experienced in the actual signals is primarily noise, the error will decrease by the square root of the number of measurements available just for a single sampling. Due to the stability of the measured quantities, however, the error will continue to decrease due to the numerous stable measurements taken over time.
While two stations are needed for a single time point determination, various spacings of the two satellite signal monitoring stations result in varying degrees of accuracy. This is because two monitoring stations placed very near each other receive similar measurements from the satellites and make it difficult to determine the third dimension of the constellation orientation because the location of the monitor station has not changed sufficiently in the ECI frame due to earth rotation. Similarly, separate measurements taken from a single monitoring station very close together in time make it difficult to accurately determine the third dimension of the constellation orientation because the respective satellites have not had sufficient time to change relative position in the sky.
Without access to simulated or actual data, one would assume that a 90 degree separation between stations would provide the most accurate data because this allows for observation of the rigid constellation from two distinct axes of a reference coordinate system. As can be seen by the graphs of
Conventionally, to maintain its degree of accuracy, the control segment must upload ephemeris data to each individual satellite at least once per day.
The advantages of the present invention are further expanded through the ability to use a mobile satellite signal monitoring station in addition to, or instead of, a fixed one. Because embodiments of the present invention do not require multiple measurements from to and from every satellite every day, one or more temporary sites may be used to merely collect positioning and time offset data for the constellation. The appropriate calculations may then be made and transmitted to one or more satellites of the constellation from any place at any time. For example, if no fixed monitoring stations were available, such as during a war where the monitoring stations have been destroyed, one or more disguised mobile monitoring stations may be temporarily placed at a predetermined location just long enough to take the necessary measurements, and then move on. The collected measurements from the one or more stations may then be combined with other measurements to determine the appropriate orientation and mean clock offset for the constellation. Because the orientation solution is referenced to a fixed point in time and is equally applicable to all satellites in the constellation, it may be transmitted to any satellite in the constellation at any point in the near future (such as a week). The satellite which receives the solution may be configured to automatically disseminate the solution throughout the constellation network without regard to whether a particular satellite can see the transmitter location. Additionally, because the results are so stable, another measurement and upload to a single satellite may not be necessary for a week or more. At that time, the mobile monitoring stations may be sent to the same or different predetermined locations to again take measurements. In relation to the separation of the locations for taking measurements if two monitoring stations are used, or if a single monitoring station takes measurements at different locations, 300 land miles is approximately 5 degrees which may even be enough of a separation for an accurate determination. In any case, however, as may be seen from the simulated examples shown herein, even approximately 13 degrees separation (780 miles) is enough for accurate orientation results. Therefore, any number of mobile monitoring stations may be sent out to gather data and no fixed monitoring station is required.
It is also contemplated, as illustrated in
The embodiments and examples set forth herein were presented in order to best explain the present invention and its practical application and to thereby enable those of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the foregoing description and examples have been presented for the purposes of illustration and example only. The description as set forth is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the teachings above without departing from the spirit and scope of the forthcoming claims. For example, it will be clear to those of ordinary skill in the art that while the specific examples provided herein relate to GPS satellite systems, the various aspects of the present invention are applicable to all satellite systems and may be readily applied to those systems from the teachings provided herein.

"Repackage sex/Keep your interest," chanted vocalist Jon King and guitarist Andy Gill on the Gang of Four's slashing 1979 debut, Entertainment! A quarter-century later, the middle-aged pair chant it again on this set of rerecorded classics, all performed without a hint of irony. In England, where the proletariat is more mindful of history and politics, the repackaging is made sexier with an additional disc of remixes by everyone from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to the Dandy Warhols, an acknowledgment of how Gang of Four's cold punk/funk blueprint for avant-garde party-building has been transmuted into today's hottest soundtrack for bohemian partying.
It's not as if Americans couldn't discover that blueprint without this remake -- six of these tracks are available domestically in their original form on the recently reissued Entertainment!, and all 14 are contained in one early form or another on two excellent and thematically complementary anthologies, A Brief History of the 20th Century and 100 Flowers Bloom. Yet compare that historical record to these shorter, messier, brighter versions and this set stands as a closer approximation of the band's unsprung live power, both then and now. In short, these versions don't defile the historical record; they defy history's ravages.

Career Highlights
2010: Split time between the Champions Tour and the PGA TOUR and narrowly missed out on being fully-exempt on both circuits for 2011. Made 14 starts on the Champions Tour and was among the top-10 seven times, including three second-place performances. Finished 9th on the Champions money list with $1,196,770, the most money made by a player in 2010 without a victory and also the most money he's ever made in a single season on any Tour in his career...Late-season run allowed him to finish fourth in the final Schwab Cup standings with 1,846 points and earned him a $200,000 annuity...Fired a closing-round 67 to finish T2, one stroke behind Fred Funk at the JELD-WEN Tradition in August. Led all players in the event with 25 birdies and was the clubhouse leader at 11-under-par on Sunday before Funk made a birdie at No. 16 to grab the lead for good...Was runner-up again in October when he fell in a one-hole playoff to Mark O'Meara at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship. Made a late run with three birdies in his final five holes to pull even at the end of 72 holes, but hit his tee shot on the first extra hole into the right rough which eventually led to a bogey and his second-place finish in the year's final major championship...Dueled John Cook down the stretch at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship before finishing in solo second, two strokes back. With support from a partisan San Francisco crowd, carded a 10-under 61 in the third round at TPC Harding Park and enjoyed a one-stroke lead over Cook after play on Saturday. Round was his career best on any Tour and the last of four 61s posted on the Champions Tour in 2010...Opened Champions Tour campaign with a solo third-place effort at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. Carded a 6-under 66 in all three rounds, but still finished four strokes back of Tom Watson...Made 17 starts on the PGA TOUR and dropped out of the top 125 in the season's final event when he posted rounds of 74-70 and missed the cut at the Children's Miracle Network Classic at Walt Disney World Resort. Came into the week at No. 124 on the 2010 PGA TOUR money list but ended up at No. 130 after the missed cut at Disney...Turned in his best performance on the PGA TOUR in early October when he finished solo second at the Viking Classic in Mississippi, three strokes back of Bill Haas, the eventual winner. Was tied for the lead with Haas after 12 holes on Sunday, but got a bad break at No. 13 when his drive hit a cart path and went out of bounds. Performance near Jackson, MS was his best showing in a PGA TOUR event since he was second at the 2007 Turning Stone Resort Championship. 2009: Made just three starts on the Champions Tour while still competing on the PGA TOUR...Parlayed a sponsor's exemption at the Senior PGA Championship into his first career Champions Tour win. Rebounded from a 4-over-par 74 start with rounds of 66-67-67 to win the crown at the Canterbury GC near Cleveland. Became the first sponsor exemption to win a Champions Tour event since Mark Wiebe did so at the 2007 SAS Championship. Also became the 14th player to win in his debut...Made 21 starts on the PGA TOUR, with his lone top 10 coming at the Wyndham Championship, where he was T5. Finished 109th on the final PGA TOUR money list in 2009.
Planned to be a stockbroker before turning to golf...Won the 2003 Southern Arizona Open with his daughter Christy serving as his caddie...As a 14-year-old he and a friend hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Tahoe to Yosemite, a distance of 210 miles. The trip took the pair three weeks.

Elm Grove will keep its annual fireworks display on the Fourth of July holiday instead of moving it to Labor Day.
The summer's drought and extreme heat made it unsafe to shoot off fireworks in July, so the village postponed the display to Labor Day, throwing a community event in Village Park in September. It proved popular, prompting the Recreation Committee on Thursday to discuss when to hold fireworks in the future.
The panel was against ending the traditional Fourth of July fireworks display in favor of a late-summer display, but was open to having a second display over Labor Day weekend - if private funding can be found.
"It (Labor Day) was packed and every other surrounding community has Fourth of July activities and fireworks," committee member Paul Schmidt said. "We'd be unique to have this event to differentiate us and possibly bring more people to our community."
Other committee members agreed the Labor Day festivities were a success, but pointed out that having police officers provide crowd control at two fireworks displays during the summer would be costly for the village.
"I agree it was packed and brought people in, but to have two would not be fiscally feasible," committee member Jack Nelson said.
The fireworks display will remain on the Fourth of July holiday, but the panelists said they would welcome a Labor Day event if an outside donor covered the costs of police overtime, fireworks and clean-up.
"If another group or donor wants to step forward and spearhead a Labor Day display, we'd consider it," Nelson said.

Baby Huey became the poster child for the Clinton pardon scandal when it was revealed he had received more than $400,000 to work on a pair of clemency petitions, both of which ultimately succeeded. A former public defender, Rodham seemed to spend all eight years of the Clinton administration trying to find ways to cash in on being the First Lady's brother. He ran a laughable campaign for the United States Senate in 1994 and later attempted to become a captain of industry by cornering the hazelnut market through contacts in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. That last venture caused all sorts of problems for the U.S. State Department. But if his prior attempts to exploit his family name were oafish, his profiteering in the pardon scandal was downright obscene, and proved to be a major embarrassment not only for former President Clinton but also for Rodham's sister, Hillary, the newly elected senator for New York, who ordered her brother to return all the money. Perhaps most embarrassing were the television images of Rodham in the days after the scandal broke. He refused to speak to the media, so news footage frequently showed him running back and forth from his car to his house wearing flip-flops, baggy shorts, and a T-shirt that was just a little too tight for his globular frame. Not a pretty picture.

If there's a tear in your beer, you won't find it here: While the Dalhart Imperials honor the original style of country music -- as opposed to the crispy kind offered up by pretty chicks in half shirts -- even the CD's slowest ballad is likely to get your foot tappin'. Honoring the old icons such as Hank Williams the First, Finally! uses the genre's eleven herbs and spices for a delicious blend of old-timey Americana and newfangled swingin' delight. Those who've been hankering for the golden days -- or just the sounds -- of elemental country and Western will get a family-sized helping on this disc.
Relying on freshness and using only quality ingredients, the Imperials pack their platter with a satisfying buffet of self-penned tracks. And on the two covers offered, there's nary a hint of being left under the heat lamp. From the opening notes of "Saddle Up" to the hidden closer, the traditional riffs and you-swear-it's-familiar tunes blend conventional seasonings into new combinations. Sporting classic cowboy style infused with a Brian Setzer-type twist, each selection maintains a distinct flavor while flowing seamlessly into the next; in fact, you'll be hard-pressed to identify which credits belong to the Dalharts. From the first listen through the 1,000th spin, Finally is finger-lickin' good (www.dalhartimperials.com).

Report: Eric Hinske suspension reduced to one game
When Major League Baseball announced the suspensions for the D-backs/Dodgers brawl that took place on June 11, many questioned why Arizona's Eric Hinske received a five-game ban.
After all, according to video and even first-person accounts, the infielder did little more than get punched while trying to keep the peace.
So, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the suspension, following an appeal, has been reduced.

Netherlands, 1979 (MIFF 1986, Video Visions - The Hero)

Boegel parodies the hero by imitating Bowie. His appearance evokes the image of the pop star which he clearly is not. A woman's fate is projected behind him. As the number progresses, more and more white fluid escapes from her mouth.

Criminal Complaint against Nestlé Switzerland concerning murder of Colombian trade unionist Luciano Romero
1 August 2014 - On 5 March 2012 ECCHR and the Colombian trade union Sinaltrainal lodged a criminal complaint in Switzerland against Nestlé and five of its top managers. They are accused of contributing through negligence to the death of Luciano Romero, who was murdered by paramilitaries on 10 September 2005 in Valledupar, Colombia. The accused had knowledge of the threats made against Romero but failed to use the resources at their disposal to prevent the murder. Before his death, Romero had for many years worked for the Colombian Nestlé Cicolac and was a trade union leader for the Colombian food industry trade union Sinaltrainal.
Colombia continues to be plagued by an armed conflict in which trade unionists and other groups are subject to systematic persecution. The direct perpetrators of the crimes were convicted in Colombia in 2006 and 2007. Such convictions are rare in Colombia, the country with the world's highest rate of murders and intimidation of trade unionists. At the close of these proceedings in 2007, the Colombian court called for a criminal investigation into the role of Nestlé subsidiary Cicolac as well as the parent company, yet no such investigation was carried out. Despite ample indications of criminal liability, no prosecutor in Switzerland or in Colombia has initiated an investigation. Colombian lawyers and trade unionists together with the ECCHR have taken up work on behalf of the family of Luciano Romero and begun an investigation into the circumstances of the case.
The criminal complaint set a legal precedent as it marked the first attempt to hold a Swiss company liable in Switzerland for a crime committed abroad. The provision of Article 102 on the criminal liability of companies was added to the Swiss Criminal Code in 2003 but has rarely been applied.
The murder of another Nestlé employee and trade unionist in Colombia in November 2013 shows that nothing has changed when it comes to Nestlé's treatment of its trade unionists. Contrary to claims made at conferences and on the company's website, Nestlé continues to put its employees and trade unionists in situations of extreme danger. Once again, this latest trade unionist murder came after the victim was defamed by Nestlé's Colombian management.
The proceedings show that to date the Swiss judiciary has been unwilling to follow up on substantiated accusations against corporations. Furthermore, Swiss law effectively makes it impossible for non-European victims of human rights violations committed by Swiss firms to enforce their rights in court.
About the Proceedings
Fourteen months after the complaint was submitted, the office of public prosecution in the Swiss Canton of Waadt decided on 1 May 2013 not to launch an investigation into Nestlé and its managers. No investigations have been launched since the criminal complaint was lodged in the German speaking Swiss canton of Zug. Instead, the case was passed over to authorities in the canton of Waadt. Rather than promptly beginning an investigation, the prosecution in Waadt made use of various formalities to delay the proceedings until they could declare that the matter had become statute-barred. The victim's widow, represented by Zurich lawyers Marcel Bosonnet and Florian Wick, had lodged her own criminal complaint and subsequently appealed against the decision of the Swiss authorities. This appeal was dismissed in December 2013.
A new appeal was lodged against this decision before the Swiss Federal Supreme Court based on the cantonal court's failure to recognize in its decision that in this case, the statute of limitations does not begin to run with the commission of the crime itself. The corporation failed to take any action to remedy organizational deficiencies within the firm. Nestlé's liability in this case springs from these organizational deficiencies and as a result the case cannot yet be statute barred. In its decision the cantonal court failed to take into consideration the recent Position Paper of the Swiss National Council which supports the legal view put forward by ECCHR and attorney Bosonnet and Wick.
In its decision of 21 July 2014 (published on 31 July), the Swiss Federal Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the Swiss widow of the assassinated Colombian Sinaltrainal trade unionist and Nestlé-worker Luciano Romero against the closing of the investigations. The Federal Supreme Court confirmed the legal reasoning of the prosecutor's office and the Cantonal Court, that the investigations were statute-barred. It thereby departed from the interpretation of the Federal Council and great parts of the literature that it is a continuing offence – which, hence, would not be statute-barred in the present case. It brought the proceeding to an end on formal grounds. The real issue of the responsibility of the company Nestlé for the assassination of one of its workers remains unexamined.
With the restrictive interpretation of the Federal Supreme Court there is now a need to reform the statute of limitations. Otherwise in practice companies with complex organizational structures will profit from long investigations – as is apparent in this precedent.
ECCHR, the Colombian trade union, Sinaltrainal, as well as the Swiss and Colombian lawyers of the widow are assessing further legal steps, such as a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights. The case of Luciano Romero was submitted to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, as one example of the systematic persecution of trade unionists in Colombia. In Colombian criminal proceedings, the murder was qualified as a crime against humanity.

A look at April Fools' Day in Baltimore
As you may have surmised, we here at City Paper enjoy us some April Fools' Day. We weren't the only ones trying to pull one over on you. Here's a few locals that caught our eye:
Atomic Books with its drone program to keep up with Amazon's:
The Brewer's Art saying they were going out of business because of City Paper's story about Ozzy Osbourne's C&D letter (whoopsie!):
Loyola University annexed Notre Dame of Maryland. Reports The Greyhound: "Speaking to the pride of ethnic Loyolans, Fr. Brinnane called for the reclamation of the university's position as 'a superpower' in the continental liberal arts community."
And via Twitter user @azhangaroo: Johns Hopkins University changed the name on its sign (either temporarily or by Photoshop) to show the name most people outside of Baltimore — and even some who live here — mistakenly call the university:

Here a rundown on the dates you find on food labels and what those dates mean, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
The following outlines what you can assume based on the "packed on" date:
This refers to the date the food was packaged.
It doesn't indicate the date the food was picked in the case of fruits and vegetables, or processed in the case of other food.
Frozen foods are best used within two months of a pack date.
Canned foods should be used within a year of the pack date.
This is the last date the product will have the highest quality. In most cases, however, it can be safely consumed past that date. For example, if the date is on a box of cereal or a bag of rice, eating the product after the date won't hurt you, but the taste may suffer.
What you can tell by reading the "sell by" date includes:
This is the last date the product should be sold. It's also the "pull" date, after which the product should be taken off the store shelf.
These dates are found on breads, dairy products, cold cuts, and fresh fruit juices.
Most foods that are past their sell-by date can still be safely eaten after this date. For example, milk stays fresh for about a week after the sell-by date if properly refrigerated. Fresh fish, meat, and poultry should be eaten within a day or two past the sell-by date, or it can be frozen.
The following outlines what you can assume based on the "expiration" date or "not to be sold after" date:
This is the last date the food is safe to eat.
These dates are often found on yeast, dairy products, and baby formula.
Eggs are an exception and may be used safely for a month after the expiration date if they have been refrigerated properly.
Dates on food products that don't indicate they refer to any of the categories above usually refer to a sell-by date.
Pay close attention to the following:
Never eat food from a bulging can, no matter what the date. The food is likely contaminated and you could get food poisoning.
Put dates on foods you repackage and freeze. Most foods can be safely frozen for months, but the quality and flavor of meat, fish, and poultry are likely to deteriorate.

SEPTEMBER SONG Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game.
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old earth take a couple of twirls
And I'd ply her with tears instead of pearls
And as time came around, she came my way
As time came around, she came
But it's a long, long while from May to December
And the days grow short when you reach September.
The autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got the time for the waiting game.
Oh, the days dwindle down to precious few;
September, November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you.
These precious days I'll spend with you.
