	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		In the summer of 1964, a new sport was borne of a vision that Newman Darby had while vacationing on Wyoming Mountain in Pennsylvania.
		Darby invented the first windsurfer, which he called a "sailboard," after watching his girlfriend, Naomi, sail on a boat he had built from ashore.
		Also in 1964, Darby and his girlfriend were married, and they quickly began talking with relatives about the idea they had to manufacture sailboards.

		Darby had taught himself to sail a 12-foot model on lakes in high wind between 1959 and 1962.
		In the 1980s, Darby received a design patent for a one-person sailboat, the Darby 8 SS sidestep hull.

	Lemelson Center Invention Features: Newman Darby
		Darby recalled childhood boat rides on the Susquehanna River, summer vacations on the Chesapeake Bay, excursions to boat builders' shops with his father, and his early attempts to build a boat while in middle school.
		Darby also developed an important refinement to the first sailboard: the universal joint that connects the sail to the board, which allowed for greater control of speed and steering.
		Darby's universal joint was a critical improvement to the sailboard and remains a distinguishing feature on windsurfing boards.

	The Plymouth Brethren
		Francis Newman (younger brother of John Henry, who was to become the famous Roman Catholic Cardinal Newman) had achieved first class honors in classics and mathematics at Oxford went to Dublin in 1827 to be private tutor to the household of Serjeant Pennefeather, a leading Irish lawyer.
		Darby was a traveler and only occasionally present, and Wigram and Hall had moved on to London and Hereford to establish new churches.
		Because of his revulsion with the church he had left, Darby was never at ease with the appointment of elders, and as time went by he increasingly devalued the importance of the formal recognition of an eldership.

	Book review - Hollywood Holyland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Darby visited the set while the picture was still shooting in order to rehearse the choral scenes and the first part of the book details his reminiscences whilst on the set, involving his discussions with Stevens and other production staff about the music.
		Newman decided to have nothing to do with these substitutions and left the recording of them to Darby.
		Fortunately Darby was able to preserve a two-track tape of the entire score as originally recorded, which he then presented to Newman.

		Darby wrote about Newman: "The circle of university affections is most powerful, formed as they are, just when the heart is fresh and growing to manhood and amiable; and the reference to them is one of the attractive points of Dr. Newman's book,".
		Darby knew and stood in contact with many persons who were prominent because of their involvement with the study of prophecy.

	[No title]
		Although the Darby's name has been mentioned through the years when the origins of windsurfing was discussed, their idea was always referred to as something that didn't work.
		But in fact, Newman had been working with the idea of a 'free sail' since 1948 and the Darby's were producing and selling their boards in 1964.
		The Darby's phased out their production of sailboards by the late 60s as sales were not going well and it wasn't until Schweitzer's Windsurfer™;, which began being mass produced in the early 70s that the fledging sport took off.

	Classical Net Review - Newman - The Greatest Story Ever Told
		To be fair, Newman took all kinds of assignments (and sometimes got lucky enough to work on classic films), even while he ran Fox music, and I suspect he thought of himself as the supreme professional who could come up with something at least tolerable, even on relatively short notice.
		The claim made by the liner notes that Newman's score stands "amongst the most important in the history of cinema" either comes from somebody who knows very little about the history of film music or can be put down to copywriters who let their sales enthusiasm get away from them.
		Newman's music, I hasten to add, far surpasses the movie for which he composed it and doesn't have to be a masterpiece to be worthy of anyone's time.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : A Look at Dave Hunt, Leading Anti-Catholic Fundamentalist
		Though a militant anti-Catholic Protestant, Darby (to his credit) was appalled by the Protestants' treatment of the Catholic peasants whom he was seeking to evangelize.
		For Darby, Rome was the cause of it: The Church of England shared in Rome's apostasy by retaining too much from the Catholic past — particularly its privileged status in affairs of state.
		He fails to comprehend that both John Darby and John Henry Newman were dismayed by the Church of England's politico-religious compromises, and that Darby's descent into radically sectarian, anti-Catholic reaction may have been less logical and less inspired than Newman's ascent to Rome.

		Darby thought it was odd that Jeff Gordon was so critical of Robby Gordon, given that Jeff Gordon did something Darby said was "very similar" to Kenseth at Texas.
		Newman pulled aside veteran driver Bill Elliott at Infineon Raceway last weekend to ask him about the fireproof hoods, which are common in other series but are used by only a handful of NASCAR drivers, Elliott and Kyle Petty included.
		Darby says NASCAR is not requiring drivers to wear the hoods and notes that many helmets have fireproof lining that serves the same function.

		Darby said the track's safety vehicles never move until they are dispatched by the NASCAR control tower.

	Alfred Newman: The Hunchback of Notre Dame; Beau Geste; All About Eve;The Greatest Story Ever Told
		Newman's use of the female chorus, eerily suspended over a sustained chord in the orchestra, is an inspired accompaniment to the mysterious opening sequence, and recurs at the concluding unraveling of that mystery.
		I suspect that Newman's very hectic schedule did not allow him to fully integrate his ideas with the contributions of the many musical hands that worked on Hunchback, which at the time was the most mammoth project ever undertaken by RKO (the Paris set alone covered sixty acres).
		This is not to begrudge the artistry of Newman, or certainly the enterprise of the producers of this project.

	HTWWW: The Music
		Newman should have had a major performing career in front of him, but by 1914 his family's situation was so dire that he had to concentrate on earning money for them.
		Newman later provided a vital service to the composer and history by recording, at his own expense, the Kolisch Quartet performing Schoenberg's four String Quartets on the Goldwyn company's sound equipment, at a time when almost no chamber music of any kind was being preserved by the record companies.
		Newman, Bernard Herrmsnn, Miklos Rozas, Dimitri Tiomkin, Max Steiner, and the others of their generation were either retired or relegated to the role of elder statesman in their field, while younger musicians such as Jerry Goldsmith, Richard Rodney Benneft, John Barry, Maurice Jarre, and Johnny (later John) Williams were increasingly sought out.

	rpm.espn.com: Official says Newman not cheating

		Newman started first in the UAW-GM Quality 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday night, his series-best eighth pole of the season.
		But Darby said the post-race inspection process was increased in April to include a thorough tear-down of the fuel cells.

	NASCAR.COM - Shocks run by Johnson, Busch bring rule change - Oct 2, 2005
		According to Nextel Cup director John Darby, both cars' shocks were well within the rulebook guidelines and passed post-race inspection when given ample time for the shocks to settle into resting position.
		Ryan Newman and Greg Biffle, both in the Chase for the Nextel Cup alongside Johnson, were a bit more critical.
		To Newman's point, Darby said he is certain NASCAR's inspection process is viable, and that cars are often sent through the height sticks multiple times during post-race inspection.

	TAWR2000 - American Windsurfer - Subscribers Only Content
		What matters was that at a point in the history of Western civilization, Newman Darby put together a mechanical device that combined the two features that have made windsurfing popular, namely standing, holding the wind in your hands.
		The first time I heard of Newman Darby was in the early ‘70’s, when the Germans came over, interested in breaking the patent, trying to find out what I thought about Newman Darby, who had published these things in Popular Science years and years earlier.
		For whatever reason, and I certainly can well imagine it’s a tough one for Newman or his brother or anyone else around them, to put the time and the energy and depreciating selflessness into trying to promote something that was at that time, and still is, as ridiculous as it was.

	controld
		Darby [who was the alleged prior inventor, the prior user the sailboard maker] unquestionably a person skilled in the art of designing sailboards.
		It was not necessary to determine the testimony of which of those experts the trial judge preferred because the testimony of Darby ought to have been, if not conclusive, at least seriously considered as providing an important insight on the question of inventiveness.
		He is the Newman Darby of the patent world.

		As well known as Alfred Newman was for his landmark film scores, his fame inside Hollywood was due also to his accomplishments in adapting and conducting other composers' works, frequently in film versions of popular Broadway musicals.
		Another high point of the score is "Cheyennes!" in which Newman uses broadly spaced chords in the contrabasses to introduce a frightening Indian attack on the wagon train.
		Newman and Darby turn the song of celebration into a dirge, offering it as a shattering counterpoint to the scene's visuals.
