Victory elusive as Rangers fall to Yanks in 14

NEW YORK -- J.P. Arencibia had one thought when he hit a home run to lead off the 13th inning and give the Rangers a one-run lead on Tuesday night.
"I thought the game was over," Arencibia said.View Full Game Coverage
The Rangers certainly had reason to feel that way, needing just three outs from closer Joakim Soria to complete their 15th shutout of the season. But it didn't happen that way.
Soria took his second blown save of the season in the bottom of the 13th, and the Yankees closed it out on Chase Headley's run-scoring single in the 14th off starter-turned-reliever Nick Tepesch for a 2-1 victory.
"It was really disappointing, especially as well as we played," manager Ron Washington said. "We just couldn't shut it down. We didn't give up; they didn't, either."
Tepesch, who is supposed to start on Friday and probably still will, was pitching the 14th because Washington used up his entire bullpen in a game that was scoreless through 12 innings. The Rangers had warned Tepesch a couple of innings earlier that he might be needed.
"There were no other options," Washington said.
Tepesch had thrown a bullpen session early Tuesday afternoon to prepare for his next start, but he refused to use that as an excuse.
"I was ready," Tepesch said. "If I didn't feel I couldn't do it, I wouldn't have done it."
Tepesch retired Ichiro Suzuki on a grounder to start the 14th, then gave up a double to Brian Roberts. That brought up Francisco Cervelli, who punched a single through the right side, moving Roberts to third. With the infield in, Headley dropped a single into left-center field that brought to an end a game that lasted four hours, 51 minutes.
"That was painful, especially playing forever," shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "We had the game won, it seemed, a couple of times. But they were like us; they didn't give up, either. Crazy game. Pretty crazy. But I think both teams didn't give up. In the end, they had more luck than us."
Arencibia's home run came off of Yankees reliever David Huff. The Rangers also had two on with two out in the 14th inning, but Andrus flied out to right to end the inning. The Rangers finished the night 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Soria was going for his 18th save. He had been successful on nine straight opportunities since his last blown save, on May 27 against the Twins.
Brett Gardner started the bottom of the 13th with a double down the right-field line. Derek Jeter bunted him to third, and Jacoby Ellsbury tied the game at 1 with a single to right.
"A huge rally off of Soria, too," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "We didn't do much the first, I don't know, 10, 11 innings. We didn't have many chances. I lost track. And we used our whole bullpen and they used their whole bullpen and ended up with a starter at the end."
Six Rangers relievers had combined to hold the Yankees scoreless for 6 2/3 innings until Soria gave up his run in the 13th.
"These always sting," said reliever Shawn Tolleson. "It was one of those games, a well-pitched game. I was really happy with the way everybody threw the ball."
Rangers starter Nick Martinez was terrific in his first outing off the disabled list. Pitching for the first time since July 1, Martinez silenced the Yankees for 5 1/3 innings. He allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three, leaving after 67 pitches.
"In the fourth ... fifth inning, he started breaking up with his mechanics and scattering the ball," Washington said of Martinez. "That was a sign of fatigue. He hadn't thrown in three weeks, but he did a great job, pounding the strike zone and using all of his pitches."
Martinez's defense made some big plays. Yankees first baseman Brian McCann led off the second with a drive to deep right-center. Leonys Martin went to the wall, jumped up and got his glove on the ball. Martin bobbled it momentarily but recovered to make the catch, robbing McCann of extra bases. In the fourth inning, Arencibia made a terrific leaping catch of Kelly Johnson's line drive.
"It was a heartbreaker," Martinez said. "Everyone played good. Everyone played extremely well. We showed a lot of guts out there; we just didn't come out on top today."
Martinez didn't get the win because the Rangers couldn't get him any runs against Yankees rookie starter Chase Whitley. The Rangers' leadoff hitter reached base in each of the first four innings and six of the first eight, but the lineup couldn't get a run across.
"We had some opportunities that could have kept it from going to the 14th inning," Washington said. "A lot of good stuff out there -- we played solid defense and pitched well. We didn't give it away; they just beat us."

Business division holds meeting
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University's Division of Business held its second annual division meeting last week with faculty members representing each of the campuses that employs full-time business professors.
All of Plainview's business faculty attended as well as representatives from Phoenix and Sierra Vista, Ariz., Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska, Clovis, N.M., Hawaii, Wichita Falls, Lubbock and San Antonio. Wayland also has campuses in Albuquerque, N.M., Altus, Okla., and Amarillo.
Dr. Otto B. Schacht, chairman of the Division of Business started the annual meetings in an attempt to better streamline and optimize course offering for the students.
"We are trying to make the educational process better," Schacht said.
The group spent two days in Plainview discussing course offerings, degree plans, syllabi and course competencies and other matters. The group was specifically looking at changes they may need to make for the 2007-08 academic catalog.
The standardized syllabi and course competencies were enacted after last year's meeting and have already benefited the division, showing the faculty where students are falling behind system wide. Students are required to take assessment exams covering basic knowledge of each course offering.
"We found some holes where some of the fundamental information is not being retained by our students," Schacht said.
Schacht said the group will use the information to better target specific goals for each business course throughout the WBU system.
In other business, the group discussed additional online course offerings, as well as the Master of Arts in Management program which, pending approval by the Southern Associations of Colleges and Schools, will be offered completely online. Schacht is hoping to have SACS approval no later than the fall of 2007.
The group also discussed the need for changes in the management information systems specialization for the bachelor of business administration degree, as well as eventually offering the MISM specialization online. The possibility of offering a master's degree in accounting was also discussed as a five-year program. Currently students are required to take more hours in accounting in order to take the CPA exam than are required for the bachelor's degree.
"So why not go ahead and get a master's while you are taking those additional hours," Schacht said.
No decision was made whether or not to move forward with the additional graduate-level course offerings. Schacht said it will take more time and research in order to determine if the plan is feasible.

Yes, their defensive zone is the planet and they patrol it regularly. As ever, their planes and drones have been in the skies these last weeks. They struck a village in Somalia, tribal areas in Pakistan, rural areas in Afghanistan, and urban neighborhoods in Iraq. Their troops are training and advising the Iraqi army and police as well as the new Afghan army, while their Special Operations forces are planning to train Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps in that country's wild, mountainous borderlands.
Their Vice President arrived in Baghdad not long before the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki launched its recent (failed) offensive against cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia in the southern oil city of Basra. To "discuss" their needs in their President's eternal War on Terror, two of their top diplomats, a deputy secretary of state and an assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs, arrived in Pakistan -- to the helpless outrage of the local press -- on the very day newly elected Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani was being given the oath of office. ("I don't think it is a good idea for them to be here on this particular day... right here in Islamabad, meeting with senior politicians in the new government, trying to dictate terms..." was the way Zaffar Abbas, editor of the newspaper Dawn, put it.)
At home, their politicians have nationally televised debates in which they fervently discuss just how quickly they would launch air assaults against Pakistan's tribal areas, without permission from the Pakistani government but based on "actionable intelligence" on terrorists. Their drones cruise the skies of the world looking for terrorist suspects to -- in the phrase of the hour -- "take out." Agents from their intelligence services have, these last years, roamed the planet, kidnapping terrorist suspects directly off the streets of major cities and transporting them to their own secret prisons, or those of other countries willing to employ torture methods. Their spy satellites circle the globe listening in on conversations wherever they please, while their military has divided the whole planet into "commands," the last of which, Africom, was just formed.
As far as they are concerned, nowhere do their interests not come into play; nowhere, in fact, are they not paramount. As their President put it recently, "If [our] strategic interests are not in Iraq -- the convergence point for the twin threats of al Qaeda and Iran, the nation Osama bin Laden's deputy has called 'the place for the greatest battle,' the country at the heart of the most volatile region on Earth -- then where are they?" (And you could easily substitute the names of other countries for Iraq.)
Their President makes a habit of regularly telling other countries what they "must" do. "At the same time," he said recently, "the regimes in Iran and Syria must stop supporting violence and terror in Iraq." It's especially important to him and his officials that other nations not "interfere" in situations where, as in Iraq, they are so obviously "foreigners" and have no business; no fingers, that is, are to be caught in other people's cookie jars. Their Vice President made this point strikingly in an exchange with a TV interviewer:
"Q: So what message are you sending to Iran, and how tough are you prepared to get? "Vice President: I think the message that the president sent clearly is that we do not want them doing what they can to try to destabilize the situation inside Iraq. We think it's very important that they keep their folks at home."
A range of other countries, all with a natural bent for "interference" or "meddling," must regularly be warned or threatened. After all, what needs to be prevented, according to a typical formulation of their President, is "foreign interference in the internal affairs of Iraq."
None of this advice do they apply to themselves for reasons far too obvious to explain. Wherever they go -- sometimes in huge numbers, usually well-armed, and, after a while, deeply entrenched in bases the size of small towns that they love to build -- they feel comfortable. They are, after all, defending their liberties by defending those of others elsewhere. Though there are natives of one brand or another everywhere, they consider themselves the planet's only true natives. Their motto might be: Wherever we hang our hats (or helmets) is home.
Others, who choose to fight them, automatically become aliens, intent as they are on destroying the stability of that planetary "home." So, for years, their military spokespeople referred to the Sunni insurgents they were battling in Iraq as "anti-Iraqi forces." It mattered little that almost all of them were, in fact, Iraqis; for the enemy is, by nature, so beyond the pale as to be a stranger to his or her own country or, just as likely, a cat's-paw of foreign forces and powers. Only when the very same "anti-Iraqi forces" suddenly decided to become allies were they suddenly granted the title, "concerned citizens," or even, more gloriously, "Sons of Iraq."
When off duty, their luckier soldiers have the option of taking "rest and recreation" in "the homeland" at places like the Hale Koa ("House of the Warrior") Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, or in the extended homeland at, say, the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in the Bavarian Alps or the Dragon Hill Lodge near thrilling downtown Seoul, South Korea -- all part of their global system of Armed Forces Recreation Centers.
This is their world -- and welcome to it.
It's not exactly a mystery what country I'm talking about. You knew from the beginning. Since the Soviet Union vanished in 1991, only one nation has made itself at home everywhere on Earth; only one nation has felt that the planet's interests and its own interests were essentially one; only one nation's military garrisons and patrols our world from Greenland to the tropics, from the sea bed to the edge of space; only one nation's military talks about its vast array of bases as its "footprint" on the planet; only one nation judges its essential and exceptional goodness, in motivation if nothing else, as justification for any act it may take.
Putting an Iraqi Face on Iraq
Soon, U.S. surge commander General David Petraeus will return to Washington to report to Congress on our "progress" in Iraq -- and he'll do so with the worst crisis in that country in almost a year still unresolved. He'll do so, in fact, shrouded in yet another strategic disaster for the Bush administration. With that in mind, let's take a moment to look back at just how, militarily at least, the Bush administration first made itself at home in Iraq.
In the U.S., the administration's lack of planning for the occupation of Iraq -- starting with the wholesale looting of Baghdad after American troops had taken the capital -- has been the subject of much debate and discussion in Congress and the media. While it's usually noted in passing that, amid the chaos, orders had in fact been issued to American troops to guard the Oil Ministry, little is made of that. In fact, orders for U.S. troops to guard that ministry and the Interior Ministry, and nothing else, were indeed given, which simply indicates that administration planning was extremely focused -- on oil and the secret police (and perhaps Saddam Hussein's secret archives).
In addition, we know that the administration ignored the 13-volume "Future of Iraq" project put together by the State Department to guide an occupation -- largely because its neocon officials were so intent on sidelining the State Department more generally. On the other hand, the Pentagon did plan for what it thought would matter. Specifically, from a front-page April 19, 2003 New York Times article, we know that, by the time the invasion began, the Pentagon already had on the drawing boards plans for building four permanent mega-bases in Iraq. (They were meant to replace our bases in Saudi Arabia.) And these were indeed built (along with others and the largest embassy on the planet) in more or less the locations originally described. From the beginning, whatever planning it didn't do, the Bush administration was certainly planning to make itself at home in Iraq in a big way for a long, long time.
Much has also been made of the disastrous, seat-of-the-pants decision by the administration, in the person of L. Paul Bremer III, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) then ruling Baghdad, to disband the Iraqi army. But few now recall what the administration, the CPA, and the Pentagon had in mind (and leaked to the press soon after the invasion) for a future Iraqi military of their dreams.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
They had, in fact, reconceived the Iraqi army as a force of perhaps 40,000 lightly armed, largely border-guarding troops. Keep in mind that Saddam Hussein had a military of 400,000 heavily armed troops and -- until the First Gulf War in 1990 -- a powerful air force (as well as copious supplies of chemical weapons). In the Middle East, for a country to have only a 40,000 man military without tanks, artillery, or an air force to call on meant but one thing: that the U.S. military and the U.S. Air Force, from bases in Iraq and in the region, were to be Iraq's real fighting force in any crisis. This was the true planning message of the Bush administration and it indicated just how "at home" its officials thought they would be in occupied Iraq.
By the time it became obvious that such thinking was fantastical and George Bush was starting to repeat the mantra, "As Iraqis stand up, Americans will stand down," the idea of a 40,000-man force had been long forgotten. By then, the U.S. military was at work creating a large Iraqi army and national police force. But the effects of such planning remain debilitatingly present, even today.
After all, the "crack" Iraqi units sent into Basra by Prime Minister Maliki were still relatively lightly armed. (Hence, their complaints that the Sadrist militia they came up against were often better armed than they were.) They still had no significant Iraqi air force to call on, because as yet it hardly exists. When they got desperate, they had to call on U.S. and British air support as well as U.S. Special Forces units. And, of course, in the fighting in Basra, as in Baghdad where American units quickly entered the fray, they showed no particular flair for "standing up." In fact, according to the Associated Press's fine reporter Charles J. Hanley, the chief American trainer of Iraqi forces, Lt. Gen. James Dubik, now estimates that Iraq's military will not be able to guard the country's borders effectively until, at the earliest, 2018.
There was a period, back in 2004-05, when the Bush administration regularly wielded a telling image. They talked often about the importance of putting "an Iraqi face" on various aspects of the situation in that country. Here's a typical passage from the New York Times from that period: "By insisting that they not be identified, the three officers based in Baghdad were following a Pentagon policy requiring American commanders in Baghdad to put 'an Iraqi face' on the war, meaning that Iraqi commanders should be the ones talking to reporters, not Americans." This caught something of the strangeness of that moment, a strangeness that has yet to disappear. After all, as an image, to put a "face" on anything actually means to put a mask over an already present face, which was (and, even today, in military terms largely remains) American power in Iraq.
The presentation of the recent Maliki government offensive, launched on the eve of Petraeus's return, also represented, in part, an attempt to put an Iraqi face on American at-homeness in that country. The fictional story put out as the "Iraqi" offensive was launched -- printed up quite seriously in our media -- was that Maliki had only informed the American high command (and the British in Basra) of his prospective move in the hours just before it was launched. This was, on the face of it, ludicrous. The "Iraqi" army has been stood up -- trained, that is -- by U.S. advisors; some of its units have U.S. advisors embedded in them; it is almost totally reliant on the logistical support of the U.S. military. It could not move far offensively without the significant prior knowledge of U.S. commanders (and this was later admitted by the President's National Security Council Advisor Stephen J. Hadley).
While Maliki had his own reasons for launching his forces (and allied militias) against Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in Basra, the Americans certainly imagined a triumphant moment for Petraeus in his upcoming hearings, thanks to new evidence that the Iraqi government was finally, in George Bush's words, "in the lead" and its military shaping up well. As Leila Fadel of the McClatchy Newspapers reported, "Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said the Iraqi operation was a 'byproduct of the success' of the year-old U.S. troop surge." This was a fantasy, of course. And the result was the success of Sadr's forces from Basra to Baghdad -- and ongoing American attempts to disavow any real involvement in the planning of the offensive.
Grand Delusions
The United States is hardly the first empire whose representatives have felt at home anywhere in its world (if not, in past times, in the world). When you are at the peak of your imperial powers, you can ignore the problems and contradictions that such a feeling, such an attitude, naturally calls up. This is no longer the situation for the United States and so the contradictions ripen, the problems only grow, and the plunge into delusional thinking deepens.
Take just the seeming conundrum of the recent battle in Basra. On one side, you have an Iraqi army, trained for years by the Americans, to the tune of approximately $22 billion in U.S. funds. On the other side, you have an (at best) partially trained "militia" -- an "army" in name only. It may be that the Iranians have put some effort or money into equipping the Mahdi Army -- though the evidence for this is slim indeed -- but, if so, this would be minor by comparison.
When the two forces clashed, what was the result? Some Iraqi soldiers and policemen simply put down their weapons and, in certain cases, surrendered or went over to the other side, or deserted, or fought half-heartedly; while the Mahdis fought fiercely, cleverly, and, in the end, successfully, until called off in triumph by their leader. They "stood up" (just as they had against the full might of the American military in the southern holy city of Najaf back in 2004). Could there, then, be two different races of Iraqis, one set willing to fight with or without training or outside help, the other unwilling, no matter the support?
The American military faced a similar situation four decades ago in Vietnam, where American advisors training the South Vietnamese military regularly swore that they would turn in their brigades of Vietnamese troops for just a few platoons of Vietcong, who would stand and fight as if their lives depended on it.
Of course, the answer here is anything but mysterious. On the one hand, you have a foreign-trained, foreign-advised, foreign-supplied force with confused and divided loyalties that is only partially an "Iraqi" army; on the other, you have a local force, fighting in a community, for the safety and wellbeing of its own sons and wives, friends and relatives. The Mahdi Army members know why they fight and who they fight for. They have "faith," and not just in the religious sense. They are, in a word, at home.
The history of the last 200 years has regularly piled up evidence that this matters far more than firepower. Human beings, that is, regularly "stand up" for something other than shiny weapons or the interests of a foreign power, no matter how at home its leaders may think they are in your country. The inability to see this obvious point -- repeatedly and over decades -- represents delusional thinking stemming, at least in part, from an inability of Americans to imagine their own foreignness in the world.
In such cases, you misperceive who is on your side, why they are there, and what, exactly, they are capable of. You misunderstand what the actual natives of a place think of you. You don't grasp that, whatever the brute force and finances at your command, you, as a foreigner, may never understand the situation you believe you should control. Even the Maliki government itself, after all, is only "on our side" thanks to its abysmal weakness. (Otherwise, it would be far more closely allied with that other foreign power, Iran.) Sooner or later -- usually sooner -- you simply delude yourself. You mistake your trained army for an "Iraqi" or a "Vietnamese" one and so come to believe that, if only you adjust your counterinsurgency tactics correctly, it will fight like one. Then you act accordingly, which is, of course, disastrous.
Whatever General Petraeus says before Congress next week, however sane and pragmatic he sounds, however impressive looking his charts and graphs, it's worth keeping in mind that his testimony cannot help but be delusional, because it stems from delusional premises and it can lead only to further disaster for Americans and Iraqis. Yes, of course, American planes and drones will continue to cruise the skies of the globe "taking out" enemies (or missing them and taking out citizens elsewhere whom we could care less about); American diplomats and high military officials will continue to travel the planet in packs, indicating, however politely, what politicians, military men, and diplomats elsewhere "must" do; and American military men will continue to train the Iraqi army in the hopes that, in 2018 if not sooner, it will stand up.
And yet, as long as we mistake ourselves for "the natives," as long as we are convinced that our interests are paramount everywhere, and feel that we must be part of the solution to every problem, our problems -- and the world's -- will only multiply.

Global events like the World Cup have long been a proving ground for cutting-edge technologies. Last time around, we saw the beautiful game in 3-D. But according to Reuters, World Cup 2014, will be broadcast in 4K/Ultra HD.
Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications says it will deliver the cup in the nascent format by using free capacity on its communications satellites, favoring this method over the use of standard broadcast satellites. Apparently, the bandwidth needed is still too much for the latter to handle.
This is big news. The world's biggest sporting event, delivered via the next generation of TV tech? Sign us up. Despite the fact that the 4K/Ultra HD adoption rate is probably south of .00000001 percent, it's nice to see to see the technology slouching towards Brazil to be born.
Here's hoping that by the time the tournament kicks off, 4K/Ultra HD TV prices will have fallen enough for football (or, soccer, if you must) lovers to take advantage of this news en masse – but that's about as likely as the ol' US of A besting the field to become champions.
Though waiting for 4K/Ultra HD feels a bit like calender-watching around Christmas time, it is further along the pipeline than anticipated. Fingers crossed that this first broadcast goes off as planned because, if it does, it will only open up the floodgates. Word is the BBC is already planning its first 4K/Ultra HD broadcast, though it may be slightly less compelling to your average sports nut. It has pegged a wildlife program for its initial broadcast, which reportedly stars Meerkats.

Two years ago, a 19-year-old Stanford student named Lucas Duplan took a break from school to create a startup.
Over the next few months, 20 students from Stanford quit school to follow him.
The startup is called Crinkle.
The Wall Street Journal's Amir Efrati wrote a longer story about the company. He says, "The service is supposed to let people quickly pay each other or pay for products at stores using any smartphone, and without requiring retailers to upgrade their payment systems."
Despite plans to employ 60 people by this summer, Crinkle's first product doesn't come out until this fall.
The payments space is insanely crowded.
Big companies like eBay, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google all want to have us using our smartphones instead of our physical wallets. The space is also crowded with well-funded startups like Square and Stripe.
Meanwhile, consumers seem content to use plastic credit cards online and offline.

A Woodlawn man and his girlfriend have pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft charges in a federal case that compromised the personal information of more than 250 people — including doctors who applied for fellowships at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where the girlfriend worked.
Derrick Hill, 52, was the "ringleader" of a group of four people — including his girlfriend, Renee Cabell, 51, and co-defendants John Coffey and Tawney King, who have also pleaded guilty — that stole more than $188,000 in cash, merchandise and services through their scheme between August and October 2009, according to a statement from the Maryland U.S. State's Attorney's Office.
According to prosecutors, King accessed identity and personal finance information through her job at Highlandtown Community Health Center; Cabell accessed information from fellowship applicants at Johns Hopkins, where she processed applications; and Coffey was recruited to help Hill cash checks at banks and retail establishments.
Hill also used the information to create counterfeit checks, as well as real Maryland driver's licenses for him and his co-conspirators that had stolen identity information but their photographs, prosecutors said.
Hill paid the others a small percentage of every transaction made with the stolen information, prosecutors said. Some transactions were for large amounts of money, like rent.
"Indeed, shortly before Hill's arrest, Hill was attempting to rent another apartment in a doctor's identity because he and Cabell were about to be evicted for non-payment on the apartment they rented in the identity of another doctor," prosecutors said in a statement.
All four have pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Hill will be sentenced March 18. Prosecutors have agreed with his attorneys to seek 11 years in prison, prosecutors said, though District Judge Richard D. Bennett will decide.
Cabell, Coffey and King will be sentenced March 21, Feb. 13 and Feb. 19, respectively. They face maximum sentences of 20 years in prison for the wire fraud conspiracy and a consecutive two years in prison for the identity theft.
All will have to pay restitution.

This Pür and Barbie Makeup Collab Is So Cute It Hurts
Barbie turns 60 this year (yes, she looks great) and in honor her birthday, Mattel is teaming up with Pür on a limited-edition makeup line that screams Barbie. It's all pink and sparkly and glam, reminiscent of the dolls with play makeup many of us had as children. This isn't a kids line though. It's the same ultra-pigmented, cruelty-free makeup you're used to from Pür Cosmetics.
"Barbie is such an iconic figure that many of us have grown up with over the years, so we wanted to create a really fun and inspiring collection that furthers her mission through the use of makeup," Tina Thompson, Pür's VP of Marketing and Innovation, told Popsugar. "Barbie naturally sparks that inner girly-girl within each of us, so we wanted super-glam shades that were combined with wearable colors to maximize the use of this collection." Sure, some of us have that girl inside but even if you don't and just want a high-quality eyeshadow palette, you'll love the looks you can create with the 10-piece collection. Image: Pur Cosmetics.
There are four cream lipsticks ($18 each at Ulta) in surprisingly wearable shades: Timeless (a dusty mauve pink), Legendary (a bright pink), Inspire (a deep plum purple) and Classic (a nude pink). Top a lipstick off with the Girl Gloss ($16 at Ulta), in a light pink shade with gold flecks.

Laura Lee Brinlee was the daughter of Hiram Carroll Brinlee, Jr. and Diza Carolina Boone, and James Larkin was the son of George Washington Arrington and Hannah Hendrix. It appears that Laura was born in Missouri, though the sources are divided between Missouri and Texas: earlier censuses indicate Missouri, while later censuses and her death certificate indicate Texas. Her parents were living in Boone Township, Bates County, Missouri at the time of the 1870 census. (Her younger brother, William Leon "Hoss" Brinlee, was born in Texas in 1873.)
Jim and Laura's daughter Bernice "Bessie" Ann Arrington was apparently killed in a homicide-robbery in 1952.
I would love to share information with anyone related to/researching this family; you can contact me at my e-mail address, which can be found by going to my profile page (there is a link to that page in the About Me section to the left).
3 comments:
Now Greta, you're forcing me to start asking some questions! 2 weeks ago I went to the funeral of my daughter-in-law's father and met a cousin Larry Brinlee, who's new into genealogy research. Now I'll have to contact him to see if he's related to these Brinlees in your post.ReplyDelete
Becky - If his last name is spelled Brinlee, I believe he has to be related to me. While there were at some point Brinleys, Brindleys, etc., who spelled it that way for a time, I'm pretty sure our family is the only one that kept that particular spelling. Would love to talk to him if he is one of "my" Brinlees!ReplyDelete
Greetings Greta,ReplyDelete
I am Lawrence Luther Brinlee II (Larry). I noticed your ancestor Laura Lee Brinlee of Hiram Carroll Brinlee Jr (aka Dink) and the comment from Becky Jamison, who i've met.
Hiram C. Jr was my great-great grandfather's brother from Hiram Sr. His name was Richard Mason Brinlee. All five of the Brinlee brothers in Texas served in the Confederacy.
There has been a DNA project done for your line, an i've heard of your Boone connection.
Am looking forward to sharing any info i have.
my email is:
Regards, Larry

Mary Rushton from Atlanta, founded The Rushton Company in 1917 and Wight, her daughter, designed most of the dolls and stuffed animals. Until 1983 the firm was family owned and operated.
Rushton's dolls were made of the best materials. Rayon, plush and cotton stuffed with top grade products. The sewed-in eyes did not pull out, and the noses were embroidered by hand. Tongues were made of felt & the bows of satin.
Rushton made hand painted, rubber dolls and rubber faced animals from the 1950's until the 1960's. It was one of Rushton's most popular toy lines and consisted of many different toy stuffed Bunnies, monkeys, Rushton Santa, cats, ducks and other animals and figures with rubber faces.
What's your 'Rushton Dolls' worth? Here are some recently sold items (Australia):

I have an Opus plush penguin from 1983. I worked as a toy rep in Texas and Rushton was one of the lines we represented. They got the license to sell an Opus penguin but went out of business in 1983. I kept one of the few toy show samples. It never went into production so only a few were made. Any ideas about the value?

I still have my first teddy bear, which I think may be a Rushton. It's 53 years old now. It has a rubber molded face, eyes closed, tear on the left cheek. It has no exposed ears but has a fold down brim, like it's wearing a baseball cap. The head material is white (as are the ends of the lower/back feet, while the body and hat brim are sort of an orange.Does this sound like a Rushton?Thanks!
►reply: If it has a rubber face and it's over 50 years old, chances are that you have a Rushton. You could always try Google images.

This plush played a big part in her child hood years and I have been searching everywhere to find one. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Becky - November 30, 2018

Rushton made bear plush toys that did not have rubber faces and were more life-like but they must be rare? I have a 24" tall one but can't find any other examples of similar Rushton bears. Made in Atlanta, GA, USA. Anyone know of these?

My hobo differs from those I've seen here and on eBay:1) He has rubber hands and shoes, not cloth. He has the usual rubber face with cigar and rubber ears.2) his patched shirt has several vintage buttons: E.T., I Support the Guardian Angels, FLIP New York City, Star Wars Revenge of the JEDI. His cap has a small metal US Flag.3) His pants are held on by string.4) His 5 O'clock shadow is not just painted, it's "scratched" into the rubber.The tag is attached to his head under his cap, which explains its good condition. It states: "* a RUSHTON STAR creation" The * or star is red.Is my hobo rare? How often have you seen others like this?Thanks for your help!
►reply: Hi there, can't find anything on this one, sorry!

The tag says Ruston Star Creation on one side and The Rushton Company, Atlanta, GA on the other side. Also a red c on that side. I did not see a picture of these and wanted to know more about them.

Did Rushton make dolls with sleep eyes? We have an unmarked 12" basset hound-ish looking stuffy with rubber face and extended snout with eyes that open and close. He is posed stretched out on his belly. His face gives off kind of a (Mickey Mouse) Goofy vibe. Haven't found anything like it yet in ebay listings or other online sources.

My brother in a major clean up accidentally took all my treasured toys to a donation drop off never to be seen again. I have searched and searched. I have learned that my treasured monkey was a Rushton rubber faced pink stuffed monkey with rubber feet, hands, ears and face. I would love to find one so I can replace the one I had as a child.

I have two puppy dolls with rubber faces. They have yellow ears and tail and the body was a cinnamon color. There was also a squeak in the tail. They have a silly, goofy smile on their faces and the mouth is open. There is also two front teeth that are prominent. I think they may be Rushton toys but I don't know for sure. If anyone can give me more information I would appreciate it. I got them both around the late 1650s to early 1960s. They are not for sale.

Yesterday I came across a stuffed rooster whose rubber face resembles a Rushton rubber face. There is no tag to indicate the maker. He stands 16" to the top of his head and to the top of his red felt comb is approximately 18 inches. He's sporting a monocle, has a red and yellow vest with red felt buttons. The buttons have a jewel in the center. His "feathers" appear to be a mottled (sort of tie dyed look) yellow and greenish/blueish.Does this fellow ring any bells? Also, I have looked for information on Rushton Toys and don't find much. Is there a book you know of? Thank you for this website and forum which is helping in my research!
Joann - April 17, 2014

Dee - February 18, 2014
After serious cleaning in my basement/storage room, as I was going through all my plastic containers of vintage and new items, I came across this enchanting cute bunny Holland doll. She has a smiling face of a bunny with ears, and is wearing her Holland cap and wooden shoes (which are in a hard rubber), however, still the Holland era. She is in pristine condition. Her sweet apron skirt is intact, however, throughout the years have been replaced with a safety pin, since the button or snap was removed or lost. Her hat adorns a white see-through netting which has holes for her ears which are still intact. Only the sides of the cap have safety pins to keep it from being hastily removed. She has all her original clothing, and her sweet smiling face is ever so captivating. I can't seem to locate anyone who knows of this doll in any fashion; age, location, etc. Can anyone assist me? From her ears down to her feet she is close to 22" in length. I have photo's that I can send if anyone is interested. I'm downsizing, and I'm planning to list her on various auction sites, but I would like to get an idea on what she's selling for. Thank You.

I've been googling for YEARS and kept coming up with NOTHING. FINALLY I have a manufacturer's name to go with my cherished childhood doll: Rushton! She was a hand me down from my next door neighbor, given to me in 1966. She was my constant companion for years, got lost at a motel in NJ and was MAILED BACK to me in a shoebox, safe and sound, she even went to college with me. I still have her. Can I send/post a pic of her? She had freckles and red 'hair' and painted blue eyes glancing sideways with a cheeky grin on a rubber face, her body was cloth - she wore orange solid color overalls and her arms were white with orange polka dots.

My grandmother has a large rubber faced teddy bear that my grandfather gave her back in 1951/1952. I have been trying to research the bear and I believe it is made by the Rushton Co. and that it is called a "Chubby Tubby". Does anyone know anything more about this bear? Looking for more info on the Rushton Co. and the bear itself. I was hoping to find what year(s) the bear was made as well. The bear does not have a tag on it.
►reply: It is indeed very difficult to find specific info on a specific toy, since most of these companies made so many different dolls, bears and other toys. I only found info on a Japanese website where the bear was sold for around 200 USD.
Diane - March 12, 2013
I think I have a Rushton Bear. It looks so close to the crying bear but this one is black with a yellow/beige tummy and ears. It has big blue eyes with a rubber face, hands and feet.

I just found a Rushton Star creations monkey (not Zippy, Tippy, or the grinder monkey). The tag only has the name of the company, line, and the letter A. Any ideas as to who this one is?
Jane - January 21, 2013
I believe I had a Zippy chimp monkey - he was my friend when I was about 6 to 9 years old. This was in the early 1960's and I thought he had on red coveralls and I thought he came with red plastic shoes. My hesitation comes from the fact he had more of a normal "monkey" face than the rather startling faces depicted here. My Zippy looked more like a monkey and didn't have big, red lips, either....
Barbara - January 9, 2013

In the 50's and early 60's my mother worked for Rushton doll company. Rubber faces were delivered to our house, my mother would paint one color in the eyes and let them dry, then add the next color. She was very good with detail. We knew not to go near her table where she painted. Her name was Lois Cochrane. My brothers and I have looked for Zippy The Monkeyfor years. My mom is now 83 and still smiles when we talk about her painting.

He is dressed in a cowboy outfit complete with yellow and brown cowboy shirt trimmed with green piping, his pants are brown pleather on the front and look like chaps with red things riveted on the sides of them. He originally had a holster and metal gun...those two items are long gone. I have not been able to find any other like him. His body is all black with the high top baby shoes. can you give me any insight to to him.

February, 1963, I was in a drugstore in Granbury, Texas just before Valentine's Day. I was 17 and living in nearby Tolar, Texas to finish high school under my uncle, who was principal. My mother had died the previous spring and I moved a lot. I was dearly missing my sweetheart, Mary, who was back in Oklahoma. Suddenly I saw an adorable, fleecy, white cocker spaniel type toy dog about eight inches tall holding a heart-shaped sign that read, "tain't puppy love." It had a rubber face with blonde hair peeking out from under the fleece and it looked just like my Mary! It was on its way to Oklahoma the next day. Yes, it was a Rushton and a heart stealer. Today, 48 years later, Mary was showing her wedding dress to our granddaughters and the little dog was in the box with the dress! I am looking at it as I write and wishing I could learn more or perhaps even buy duplicates for my granddaughters. Thank you, Rushton, for helping me tell this wonderful, special young woman that I was deeply in love with her.
►reply: Thanks for sharing this lovely story Fred!

I know the lady that gave me the doll was old when she passed it down to me, but I know nothing else about the doll. I have lost many things in my life but some how not this doll, I question why often. Anyways I just want to find out information about the doll - not so I can sell it but for my own knowledge. It looks like a miss beasley doll but is not - it has a light blue body with white pok -a-dots , a plastic face , short blond hair , flece feet (yellow feet) a sheer apron around the waste area that is now damaged from wear and tear over the years. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I some day hope to have a grand daughter to hand it down to, since I was only lucky enough to have 4 sons and not a girl. LOL , thanks you Felicia

True, I many not be entirely valorous or chivalrous, but I think I'll be good enough to carry out the job.
However, I do think I need a more Knightly name than "Sir StratPlayer". Something more regal and fierce-sounding...
So I shall adopt "Vincent" (from the Latin "vincere", to conquer), and thusly henceforth be known as:
"Knight Temporal Sir Vincent, Lord Of Nominal Goodness, Defender Of NewPix Glory*"
*aka Sir Vinnie LONGDONG
You may be able to declare yourself a knight, but you need a bishop or Cardinal to give you your new, knightly name. It's like a NASA nickname. you con't get to choose it for yourself.(and this is within 6 timeframes of when you declared it.)
I, Timewaiter Arch-Cardinal Buffygirl, She who Rises From The Flames Like A Phoenix To Continue With Her Pursuit of Hat Perfection, do hereby name you Sir Vinnie LONGDONG, Knight Temporal, Lord of Nominal Goodness, Defender of... Oh wait! You're not a TimeWaiter! Pffft.
Thank you, your Holiness, I -- Wait! What?!?! I most certainly AM a Timewaiter! You yourself even rescued me from my heretical Menopause and returned me to the One True Faith!! MY use of "NewPix" was purely for acronymic justification and as an attempt to reach out to those who might be weak in their faith.
I shall attribute this momentary lapse in your otherwise perfect Cardinal judgement to a temporary state of the evil forces of the Outside weighing too heavily upon you, and shall accept your Knighthood as what you clearly meant to do.
So, *ahem* Thank you again, your Holiness. I remain in the service to you, the One True Faith, and the Holy Timeframes, shall continue to Wait for it.

Another Word for Frugality: Sustainability
Editor Maura Stephens comes from a family of frugal folks — call them early sustainability advocates.
"Don't buy that brand; it's packaged in plastic." "Keep that candle end; we'll use it with other scraps to make a new one." "Your sister can wear that; I'll recut the neckline for her." "Reduce. Reuse. Recycle."
Those last three words would become the slogan of an environmental movement years later, but my mom and dad used them regularly — and, trust me, my folks were anything but hippies. They were children of the Great Depression and, like so many of their generation, had made tremendous sacrifices during World War II. They had learned to live on less and to save money. Even when they became more secure financially, they saw no reason to waste.
Mom packed our lunches in the same containers every day. We used cloth napkins; milk was delivered in reused bottles. Vegetable waste went back into the garden to make compost.
My dad, an engineer, believed strongly in getting the United States away from its dependence on fossil fuels. He had an early electric car, and he seriously investigated getting a windmill. He used to talk about saving money and saving the future for our grandchildren. Grandchildren as a concept were impossible for us kids to imagine, but the word Dad introduced us to, "sustainability," wasn't that difficult at all.
"Sustainability" as a concept has grown from the early years of the global environmental movement, when it was defined principally in ecological terms. Now the term also implies fiscal responsibility and social well-being and equity. Collectively, these ideas are sometimes called "the three principles of sustainability." I like to call them "planet, purse, and people." Many practitioners, including me, believe there is a fourth principle that is integral to the idea of sustainability: individual and civic responsibility toward the common good.
You'd think that with my own early education I'd be a good citizen of Earth. I do reduce, reuse, recycle, and I am careful to buy responsibly, with the good of the planet in mind. As an adult I was for many years a farmer and grew almost all of my family's food; what we couldn't manage, we traded for with neighbor farmers. I am no longer a farmer, but whenever I can I purchase local goods and organic foods. But the sad fact is I fared pretty badly when I recently took the "ecological footprint" test. This is a method developed by Mathis Wackernagel, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Global Footprint Network, which works to shift economic and public policy toward sustainability. The test is a simple program that calculates roughly how much of the planet we each consume based on our living habits. By Wackernagel's reckoning there are roughly 4.5 acres of planet available per person, assuming other species get nothing and there is no population growth.
My own footprint tells me that I hog some 22 acres. The average U.S. American's lifestyle uses up about 24 acres. As Wackernagel puts it, we are running on ecological debt, and if everyone around the world lived this way, we'd need about six planets. My own culpability comes from my transportation choices. I commute 46 miles alone in my car each day, which costs me a substantial amount in gas money, and I take several airplane flights a year. I can't see myself giving up the distance travel, so I am trying to find a way to make the drive to work less consumptive and less purse-draining. I see a hybrid car in my not-too-distant future; it just makes sense. Dad would be pleased, but he'd still tell me I need to do more.
In this issue you can read about Ithaca College's sustainability initiative and how the College is at the forefront of a very forward-thinking movement. And you can read our cover story on the new outdoor adventure leadership major, which is pretty innovative in its own right. And don't miss the story about the dynamic physics faculty, who are putting Ithaca on the map in ways both global and intergalactic.
We hope you enjoy reading about all the exciting things happening at IC these days, and we hope you'll send us your feedback on the stories we are pleased to share with you.
