Waterman Waterman departed Pearl Harbor on 6 March and screened the escort carrier Nassau (CVE-16) as she ferried replacement aircraft, passengers, and cargo to Kwajalein, Majuro, Tarawa, and Makin in the Mar-shalls and Gilberts. Waterman promptly left her screening station and was the first of two escorts to come alongside and lend a hand. Waterman continued that work of mercy until 10 September, when she departed the Tokyo area with TU 30.6.3— four LSM's and sister ship Weaver (DE-741)—bound for Shiogama, on the eastern coast of Honshu, through which port the POW's from the Sendai camp were being evacuated. www.history.navy.mil /danfs/w4/waterman.htm   (2053 words)

Waterman, Dennis As a screen character, Waterman, whether playing in dramatic series or in comedy, is intimately dependent on a strong partner and in comedy especially mostly acts as a straight figure to the comic excesses of his partners. Waterman was born in London in 1947 and became a child actor, appearing in the feature film Night Train To Inverness (1958) and in a West End production of the musical The Music Man. In 1961 he landed the title role of William in the children's television series William, produced by the BBC. In portraying Waterman as a womaniser who is finally unable to control the feminine forces that he had unleashed, She Devil added an interesting new dimension to the actor's screen persona. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/W/htmlW/watermanden/watermanden.htm   (1099 words)

waterman Waterman pens started being imported in Italy in the early '900s: the first ads published at national level date from 1904/1905. It is however true that the patterns used on many Waterman overlays were not always exclusive: many pens of various brands exist which wear exactly the same overlay as Waterman models. Waterman pens with Italian overlays are mainly 18 K.R. (rolled gold) or solid 14 ct. gold; silver overlays are extremely rare and, in most cases they were produced on commission or handcrafted by skilled goldsmiths. xoomer.virgilio.it /leiacopi/waterman.htm   (975 words)

Judge drops all charges against Alaska teen accused of killing her mother - CourtTV.com - Trials A judge in Juneau, Alaska, dismissed all charges against Rachelle Waterman in connection with her mother's murder at a hearing Tuesday, saying testimony at the honor student's trial earlier this year cast serious doubts about the reliability of incriminating statements the girl made during a police interrogation. Waterman snuck into the house often, but she always used a window in the family room, the judge noted. The murder of Lauri Waterman stunned the tiny island village of Craig, where the victim was beloved for her community involvement. www.courttv.com /trials/waterman/030706_dismissal_ctv.html   (738 words)

Waterman Aerobile In 1932, Waterman designed and test flew a Kinner-powered tailless low-wing pusher that was nicknamed "Whatsit" by bystanders who were puzzled by the strange configuration of the airplane. Waterman redesigned the wing assembly so that it could be removed as one piece rather than two separate wings. Waterman restored Aerobile No. 6, in "Buick blue" and white, and donated it on March 24, 1961. www.nasm.si.edu /research/aero/aircraft/waterman.htm   (841 words)

USC College : College Magazine : Autumn 2002 : Waterman In 2000, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and, most recently, Waterman was chosen as one of eight scientists to receive the Gairdner Foundation International Award for his key role in the sequencing of the human genome. Waterman and colleague Temple Smith, now at Boston University, began work on an algorithm that would allow scientists to analyze the similarity of protein and gene sequences by searching for the optimal alignment between one stretch of DNA and another. The formulas and other work by Waterman were crucial to the success of the public Human Genome Project and the effort by the private company Celera Genomics, which were locked into a heated competition to finish drafts of the genome. www.usc.edu /schools/college/college_magazine/autumn_2002/watermans_mark.html   (766 words)

Robert Waterman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As governor, the "Waterman Rifles" militia was authorized for San Bernardino, California, named in his honor since he was a resident of the City prior to election. In 1889, possibly at Waterman's urging[5], the 300 acre Harlem tract in Patton, California was chosen for the first Southern California Insane Asylum. Today, Waterman Avenue, Waterman Gardens, and Waterman Canyon are still named for him in San Bernardino, California, as well as Waterman Road at the western margin of Barstow, south of State Route 58 and North of the Mojave River. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Robert_Waterman   (990 words)

This Old House Waterman was very receptive to my questions, and even asked me to tell people on the internet that he would gladly recieve their calls and faxes if they had any questions about the blues scene from the sixties to the present. Waterman acted as agent and sometimes producer for many of the folk bluesmen who lived to enjoy a second career in the 1960s and '70s, including Booker White, Lightnin' Hopkins, Skip James and many others. Waterman believes the bluesman would have been at his musical peak in the period between his Paramount sessions and the arrival of Lomax over a decade later. bluesnet.hub.org /son.house/interview.html   (873 words)

Waterman Whatsit It was immediately apparent that the pitch stability of the airplane was somewhat limited because of the short coupling relationship of the engine thrust line to the aerodynamic center of pressure location that was inherent in the low-mounted swept-wing tailless configuration. When Waterman reviewed Vidal's "Safe Airplane" specifications he was amazed to find how closely they followed his work in the three years of development on the Whatsit, so he left the airline and revived the project. The Waterman Arrowplane and the Hammond Y, the Bureau's other winner, both had cabins configured with auto-like simplicity in their appointments, controls, instrumentation and cabin entry doors and were the only two to receive awards. www.nasm.si.edu /research/aero/aircraft/waterman_what.htm   (860 words)

Penoply: L.E. Waterman pens Lewis Edson Waterman is commonly cited as being the inventor of the first practical fountain pen, just as Henry Ford is often supposed to be the inventor of the automobile. As the tale is told, Waterman (an insurance salesman at the time) loaned a new reservoir pen he had bought to a client to sign a policy; unfortunately, the pen (as was typical of these early examples) refused to do anything but blot the contract. Waterman pens set the pace for penmakers up through World War I, and were extensively copied, both directly and indirectly, despite any number of patents on the Waterman innovations. www.rickconner.net /penoply/wa.0.html   (503 words)

Waterman Pens Waterman's claims to fame are many, including the invention of the modern fountain pen and the invention of the modern cartridge pen. Waterman's channeled feed design solved this problem, and for that he was awarded a patent in 1884. Complacent in their success, Waterman started losing ground in the US market through the Depression, and by the end of the war was but a shadow of its former self. www.cs.utexas.edu /users/walter/pens/waterman.html   (2165 words)

Waterman Their Lifetime Warranty, which was part of what drew me to a Waterman pen in the first place, was apparently rather limited. It is a version of the Man 100 line, which was Waterman's flagship in the 1980s, but this version is dressed up to look like fl chased hard rubber. The design is really evocative of Waterman pens from the first half of the 20th century. faculty.haas.berkeley.edu /rjmorgan/openions/waterman.htm   (2366 words)

Why can’t this man feel whether or not he’s standing up? Waterman’s obliviousness to that sense ended when a viral infection destroyed the nerves that control his sixth sense as well as those for feeling light touch. Cases like Waterman’s are remarkable in the precision of the damage: Waterman lost none of the nerves that control muscle movement and he is still able to feel temperature, pain, deep pressure and muscle fatigue (see chart on page 20). Waterman can decide whether or not to use them, and he says he consciously learned to synchronize speech with gesture and still has to think about it. www.apa.org /monitor/jun98/touch.html   (2321 words)

Waterman pens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The essential novelty of Waterman's first fountain pens was the feed, for which his first pen-related patent was granted in 1884.

Stock, Aitken & Waterman - Biography - AOL Music Many British rock critics hated Stock, Aitken & Waterman with a passion; they detested the threesome's ultra-slick, very glossy approach, which was heavily influenced by the Euro-disco and Euro-pop of the late '70s; Stock, Aitken & Waterman's roots were folks like ABBA, Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone, the Village People; and Silver Convention. Stock, Aitken & Waterman were about as commercial as it gets -- at times, they were downright bubblegum -- and that fact wasn't lost on the British rock critics who bashed them unmercifully. Stock, Aitken & Waterman was the team that American star Donna Summer turned to when, in 1989, she wanted to return to a Euro-disco/Euro-dance approach. music.aol.com /artist/stock-aitken-and-waterman/128854/biography   (807 words)

Surfline | Waterman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Webster defined waterman as "a person who makes his living from the water (as by fishing, crabbing, or oystering)", and it is of Middle English origin. Unjustly or not, the waterman is often thought of as somewhat bitter, forever running and hiding from what he views as "encroaching civilization." As embodied by Hawaii's Roger Erikson, the waterman's lone companion is the sea, and he's hardly one for idle chat. Furthermore, the modern waterman seems all too aware of his own legend and carries himself like a god, with contempt for the "Day-Glo army," who so disgrace mother ocean with loud, self-congratulatory babble in the water and wealthy boaters with the latest fishing gear. www.surfline.com /surfaz/waterman.cfm   (461 words)
