		Ferdinando's brother, William, the 6th Earl of Derby, is described as a noted sportsman and is remembered as a keen supporter of the Wallasey races.
		James, the 7th Earl of Derby, pursued his family's interest in the Turf by instituting races on the Isle of Man (over which he was 'Lord'), during the 17th century, on a piece of land extending rather more than a mile across the peninsula of Langness.
		A record in the Rolls' Office states that he gave a cup to be run for at these races, thus establishing the 'Manx Derby,' another contender for the claim as the original precursor of The Derby.

	Rushen Sheading - Manx Place-names, 1925
		Ros, of which ‘Rushen’ (roisen) is a diminutive, may mean ‘a wood’ or ‘peninsula,’ and if one accepts the latter derivation, one’s mind naturally reverts to Langness, which is not only an outstanding feature of the Sheading, but is the only peninsula in the Island.
		Derbyhaven, where the Kings of Man landed, adjoins Langness, and it is probable that the ancient Gaelic name of the peninsula gradually spread to the surrounding territory, giving name in turn to the Sheading, Castle and Abbey, whilst the peninsula which bore the ancient designation, was overlapped by the later name of Langness.
		It is also hard for one to imagine two names bearing the diminutive of ros being found within a few miles of each other, and having the respective meanings ‘peninsula’ (Langness) and ‘wood’ (Glen Rushen).

		Just south of Derbyhaven take the right-hand fork for Langness and almost at once when the road turns left, keep straight ahead along a sandy, motorable track which follows the coast closely from Sandwick southwards for about a quarter of a mile before rejoining the lighthouse road.

		The company, based in Santa Barbara, grew through aggressive acquisitions but saw its stock value plummet in the past year amid several controversies and federal investigations into allegations that doctors at Redding Medical Center performed unnecessary surgeries and complaints that it improperly recruited physicians at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego.
		Tenet spokesman David Langness said the company had been forced to divest itself of the 19 California hospitals because they require $1.6 billion in state-mandated seismic upgrades.
		Seismic upgrade costs are especially high for older facilities and multi- story buildings such as Doctors, Langness said.
