  Spacewatch Names Asteroid for Legendary Arizona Tree-Ring Scientist and Astronomer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
University of Arizona Spacewatch astronomers have named an asteroid for Andrew Ellicott Douglass, the founder of modern tree-ring science and two famous Arizona astronomical observatories.
She wrote the citation for the first -- Minor Planet (2196) called "Ellicott" that was approved and published by the IAU on May 15, 1984.
The IAU had earlier accepted Douglass' middle name, Ellicott, for Minor Planet (2196) because there already was a Minor Planet Douglas named for someone else who spelled his name with one "s" and because the practice of adding first initials preceding the last name was not common 20 years ago.

 The Baltimore Sports Club - Zip Publishing
I’ve been to five weddings this year,” expounds club founder and operator Mike Cray on your average Baltimore sports enthusiasts’ predilection for romance.
Cray, an Ellicott City resident, cribbed the concept of marrying sports activities and engaging in the highly esteemed social art of drinking beer from a similar program run on a national level that no longer exists.
The conceit, it turns out, is a pretty simple one: get a bunch of young professionals together to play co-ed sports, then send them out for cheap beer at the end of the game.

Sandia National Labs' own all-sky camera in Albuquerque, New Mexico caught a bright meteor this morning at 4:32am MDT (JPEG, 449Kb movie).
Naming: The Associated Press has a wire story that appears at azcentral.com today about the naming of a second asteroid for dendrochronology pioneer and astronomer Andrew Ellicott Douglass, who in 1894 picked the site where Lowell Observatory now stands and two decades later founded Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona.
The first naming was 2196 Ellicott “20 years ago,” and the new one is 15420 Aedouglass (1998 HQ31), which “was discovered by astronomer Tom Gehrels using a 36-inch telescope Douglass commissioned more than 80 years ago as Steward Observatory's first telescope.” That's the Spacewatch 0.9m telescope, which was refurbished last year.
