Local Soup Kitchen Prepares for Thanksgiving
By Jessica Borchert
Las Cruces, NM – While many New Mexicans will be preparing a feast for Thanksgiving dinner many residents will not have the financial resources to do so. According to a recent study by U.S. Department of Agriculture, New Mexico ranks second in the nation for food insecurity and hunger. As KRWG's Jessica Borchert reports, a Las Cruces charity El Caldito Soup Kitchen is working to ensure that every Las Crucen can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal in a welcoming, family environment.

Home Series No. 24 Preview: Cubs vs. Reds

The Reds spent most of the first half pushing to make the NL Central a very intriguing four-team race, but a rash of injuries finally caught up with them. Since July, the team has been 28-40 and is now just 71-79 overall, a far cry from reaching the one-game NL playoff round like they did in 2013. Given Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Devin Mesoraco and Mat Latos have all missed significant time, it was almost inevitable the Reds would eventually fall off the pace. However, much like the Cubs, this year is hardly a complete loss, as they've seen several players emerge as key pieces that could help them contend in the near future.
Tuesday's starter Johnny Cueto has become the anchor of the Reds rotation and should be a legitimate Cy Young candidate. On Monday, the Cubs will see All-Star Alfredo Simon, who's tailed off after having a strong start to the season. Despite the dropoff, he's still 3-0 in four starts with a 1.40 ERA against the Cubs this year. Daniel Corcino is scheduled to make his second career MLB start Wednesday. His fastball/slider combo led to a 28 percent strikeout rate this year at Triple-A. The bullpen has had some issues this year as well. Aroldis Chapman is still one of the more dominant closers in baseball, but the innings leading up to Chapman's have been troublesome. The Reds' relief group is 14th in bullpen ERA and save percentage.
The Reds have struggled to score runs for much of the season. A lot of that has to do with the absence of Votto and his career .417 on-base percentage. He's only played in 62 games this season due to quad strains. Phillips has continued his downward trend, showing only modest on-base skills to go along with his diminished power. Mesoraco has had a good year, hitting .280/.366/.541 (AVG/OBP/SLG) with 23 homers and 74 driven in, while Todd Frazier (.280 AVG, 26 homers, 75 RBI, 20 stolen bases) has helped carry the load. If inconsistent rookie Billy Hamilton can get his OBP to league-average levels, he could be a real asset.

Home Series No. 19 Preview: Cubs vs. Brewers

The Brewers' hot start to the season may have come as a surprise, but it's their continued excellence that's really catching people's attention. Milwaukee is led by its very impressive offense, which is making the Upper Midwest look a lot like the Mile High City. While the starting staff doesn't boast a true ace, all five arms are quality rotation pieces. The bullpen came into the season as a major question mark, but it has managed to be strong thus far—though that isn't a complete surprise considering how variable relief arms can be from year to year. The major issue for the pitching staff is the lack of depth in the minor league system. This kept the Brewers relatively quiet in the trade market, and it also likely means they won't be able to inject much youth into their playoff push.
Wednesday starter Kyle Lohse has continued his late-career renaissance, as he looks to compile his fourth-consecutive sub-3.50 ERA season. As the de facto staff ace, he has delivered his usual steady performance. Tuesday's starter Wily Peralta has also emerged as a strong mid-rotation arm. Monday night's starter Yovani Gallardo has not have lived up to the lofty, early-career hype, but continues to produce solid starts. The bullpen has been anchored by resurgent closer Francisco Rodriguez and a breakout performance from fireballing setup man Will Smith. The biggest issue in the 'pen may be what happens if the wheels fall off for Rodriguez down the stretch.
The Brewers trail only the Coors Field-aided Rockies when it comes to scoring runs. The offense is led by three MVP-caliber players in Ryan Braun (who isn't firing on all cylinders, but has still been strong), Carlos Gomez (who announced his presence with an elite 2013 season on both sides of the ball) and breakthrough performer Jonathan Lucroy. The backstop gets plenty of accolades for his abilities behind the plate, but his above-.860 OPS is also impressive, along with his 18 homers and 82 driven in. His 5.0 wins above replacement total is the fourth-highest among NL hitters. That trio has overshadowed another strong season from Aramis Ramirez and a solid year from Scooter Gennett. Add the power of Khris Davis and Mark Reynolds, and this is truly one of the more impressive offensive units in baseball.
Home Series No. 15 Preview: Cubs vs. Cardinals

St. Louis got off to a slow start this season, but as every Cubs fan knows, you can't count out the Cards just because of a few rough weeks. The Cubs' closest NL Central foe put a .500 April behind them thanks to some dominant starting pitching and a resurgent offense that is climbing the ranks after an uncharacteristically sluggish start. First baseman Matt Adams has poured it on, and Jhonny Peralta has added some much-needed pop to a relatively low-power offense. The team suffered a major blow when cornerstone catcher Yadier Molina was put on the DL, potentially for the remainder of the season, after thumb surgery. Third-year manager Mike Matheny often gets criticized for his odd decisions, particularly his bullpen usage. But despite his alleged missteps, the Cardinals never seem to miss a beat, proving once again to be one of the stronger clubs in the game.
Outside of a pair of rough starts against the Cubs, Adam Wainwright has been downright unhittable this season. The Cardinals ace and projected Sunday starter has been as impressive as any arm in baseball and anchors a very strong rotation. Friday's starter Joe Kelly has been tough in limited action, but he's dealt with hamstring issues. Lance Lynn has been solid as well. Though inconsistent, Shelby Miller, who will start Saturday, has displayed flashes of the talent that made him one of the game's top prospects. Michael Wacha was continuing to build upon his late-season breakout in 2013, but a stress reaction in his shoulder will keep him sidelined until at least September. The Cardinals do run into some issues in the bullpen, especially in the base on balls department. Trevor Rosenthal is racking up saves, but his walk rate is approaching uncomfortable levels for a closer. However, right-hander Pat Neshek has been one of the better stories of 2014, posting a 0.68 ERA over 40 innings and a 9.0 K/9 ratio in his first All-Star season. If Jason Motte can return to his 2012 form and fellow fireballer Carlos Martinez can lower his walk total, St. Louis has the arms to end games quickly.
With Molina potentially out for the year, the offense lacks the consistent bat that has driven the Cards for years. Adams is doing what he can offensively, and the always-producing and under-the-radar Matt Holliday has also bounced back from a slow start and is providing some power. But his season totals are hardly what's to be expected from the six-time All Star. Peralta leads the team with 14 home runs, but is hitting just .256 (only he and Adams have double-digit home run totals). Prospect Oscar Taveras and offseason acquisition Peter Bourjos haven't lived up to their hype this season, while second baseman Kolten Wong has also struggled to find his footing in the major leagues. It wouldn't be a shock to see St. Louis add a much-needed bat before the trade deadline to continue their playoff push.
Home Series 14 Preview: Cubs vs. Braves

At the season's outset, it appeared offense would be the Braves' strength, as their lineup was littered with power bats, but they had numerous question marks in the rotation. As usual in baseball, it's a good idea to expect the unexpected. The Braves pull into Wrigley Field tied with the Nationals for first place in the NL East chiefly on the backs of that suspect rotation, much of which was thrown together late in the offseason after the team lost two big arms to Tommy John surgery during Spring Training. But with some key players struggling, the offense has taken a step back from 2013, when it ranked fourth in the NL in runs per game. One veteran has already been displaced from his starting position.
(3.6 RA/G, 4th IN NL)
The Braves lost Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy to Tommy John surgery before the season even began, but that hasn't stopped the staff from being one of the best in the game. Aaron Harang has probably pitched above his head early in the year, but his performance has still been a revelation. Ervin Santana was another late-spring addition, and while he's been inconsistent, he is still a reliable innings eater. The Cubs will see three young pitchers in this series in lefties Alex Wood and Mike Minor, as well as 2014 All-Star righty Julio Teheran. Friday's starter, Wood, has shuttled between the bullpen and the rotation this year, but is back in a much more comfortable starting role, where he can use his full assortment of pitches and funky delivery to keep hitters off balance. The usually reliable lefty Minor has struggled since the end of last season and comes into Saturday's start with a 2-5 record and 4.54 ERA. However, the biggest development this season has been Julio Teheran's emergence as the staff's ace. The 22-year-old currently sports an 8-6 record with a 2.57 ERA. The bullpen looks a bit different from previous years, but it's still strong, with outstanding closer and NL saves leader Craig Kimbrel anchoring the back end.
Dan Uggla has never been a batting average guy, but that was always offset by his tremendous power. However, after the second baseman slugged just .362 in 2013 and suffered a continued power outage in 2014, the Braves finally called up youngster Tommy La Stella to take over the keystone in late May. La Stella doesn't have the power Uggla displayed in his prime, but he has a great approach and can flat out hit. Unfortunately for Atlanta, it isn't just Uggla struggling at the plate. Chris Johnson has failed to repeat his BABIP-fueled 2013 line of .321/.358/.457; the Upton brothers continue to strike out at an alarming rate; and former top prospect Jason Heyward hasn't shown the power many expected of him when he first came up. The Braves are also without slugging catcher Evan Gattis for the foreseeable future. This offense was designed to be heavy on power bats, but it's struggling to hit home runs and hasn't yet figured out how to play small ball. So far this year, the Braves attack relies heavily on All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman. When he's hot, the offense will score some runs. If you can hold him down, it struggles.

Hot Off the Press: July VL featuring the best player from every decade at Wrigley Field
I'm a sucker for nostalgia, which is one of the reasons I've enjoyed this season at Wrigley Field so much. I have been looking forward to Wrigley's 100th birthday for a few years now because I knew it would give Vine Line a chance to really delve into the organization's history.
We not only produce the magazine, but we also create the scorecards sold at the Friendly Confines during every home series. To tie in with the Cubs' 10 Decades, 10 Homestands promotion, we've been populating the covers with photos specific to the years being celebrated—which means we've spent countless hours searching the team's photo archives for just the right shots.
When the Yankees were in town during the 1930s homestand, we found a picture from the 1932 World Series between the North Siders and the Bronx Bombers. When the Cubs were honoring the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the 1940s series, we found a photo of the league's tryouts, which were held at Wrigley Field in 1943.
In the interest of full disclosure, my home is littered with black-and-white photographs of everything from the Chicago Theater to my relatives during WWII to the Cubs at Spring Training on Catalina Island. I love this stuff, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't spent a few evenings looking through the photo archives just for fun.
In other words, this is probably something I shouldn't get paid to do (though I probably don't need to spread that news around).
Some of the things that caught my eye when we were planning our 2014 content for the magazine last year were the memorable program and scorecard covers the team used from the 1930s through the 1960s. We liked them so much, we decided to dedicate the valuable back page of the magazine (The Score) to featuring some of the best of the best this season.
When we wanted to learn more about the scorecards, we went to that amazing wellspring of arcane Cubs information from every era, team historian Ed Hartig, who has been an invaluable resource for all the historical content we've published this year. It turns out, for decades, most of the scorecard designs were the brainchild of one man, Otis Shepard, former art director for the William Wrigley Jr. Co. and longtime member of the Cubs board of directors. For our monthly Wrigley 100 feature, we look into the life and career of Shepard and how he came to design some of the Cubs' most iconic images.
It's also the July issue, which means it's almost time for the Midsummer Classic. For our annual All-Star issue, we set out to find the most valuable Cubs player in each of Wrigley Field's 10 decades. To do this, we used the stats website Fangraphs to compile the highest Wins Above Replacement totals for each decade. WAR essentially takes all of a player's offensive and defensive efforts and outputs them into a single number designed to measure how many wins he provides over an average replacement player. There are definitely some names you would expect (I don't think we could have a list like this without Mr. Cub), but there are also a few surprises (Rick Reuschel, anyone?).
Finally, Vine Line had a dream opportunity in May when the Yankees came to town. We worked with Yankees Magazine Editor-in-Chief Alfred Santasiere III to bring together two of the greatest shortstops the game has ever seen: Hall of Famer Ernie Banks and future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. The legendary players sat down for a tête-à-tête that is every baseball fan's dream come true.
Of course, we're good for more than just history lessons. Follow us on Twitter at @cubsvineline for the best of the Cubs past, present and future.
And let's keep that whole "shouldn't get paid" thing between us.

Home Series 13 Preview: Cubs vs. Nationals

Nearly everyone picked the Nationals to run away with the NL East in 2014, but it has been a tightly bunched division in the early going, with the Nats just a game up on Atlanta as Thursday's play began. Washington's offense has been solid, and their pitching is about as good as it gets in the National League. Unfortunately, one of the bigger stories for the team thus far has been new manager Matt Williams calling out Bryce Harper for his apparent lack of hustle on an early-season ground out. Harper, who is known for his all-out, but often reckless effort, took the criticism in stride. Shortly thereafter, he hurt his thumb stretching a double into a triple, and he has missed a large portion of the season. He is due to return soon, though he'll still miss the Cubs series.
(2nd in NL, 3.5 RA/G)
The Nats have the makings of a dominating rotation, but the arms didn't quite perform to expectations in the early going. Former No. 1 pick Stephen Strasburg is getting plenty of strikeouts and isn't walking many, but he's been very unlucky, with a ridiculous .356 BABIP resulting in a 3.70 ERA. University of Illinois product and Friday's starter Tanner Roark is having a solid season (7-4, 2.79 ERA), while Saturday's Game 1 starter Gio Gonzalez hasn't yet lived up to his career numbers. Offseason acquisition and Thursday's starter Doug Fister has been the addition everyone expected after coming back from injury in early May. Since his return, he has posted a 6-2 record with a 2.65 ERA. The bullpen is led by closer Rafael Soriano, who has converted 18 of 20 saves this season. Blake Treinen will start Game 2 of the doubleheader Saturday night.
(8th IN NL, 4.0 RS/G)
Harper's loss was costly, especially considering no one has really stepped up in his absence. Veterans Adam LaRoche and Jayson Werth have been strong, while Denard Span is bouncing back nicely after a rough 2013 season. His return has allowed the Nats to keep the offense clicking, even after losing Ryan Zimmerman for several weeks to a thumb injury. Danny Espinosa has stepped into a full-time role at second base, and the hot-hitting Anthony Rendon has moved back to his college position at third. The now healthy Zimmerman has looked solid since his move to the outfield, but it will be interesting to see what the Nats do with him once Harper comes off the DL.
Home Series 11 Preview: Cubs vs. Pirates

After ending 20 years of below-.500 futility and making a playoff appearance in 2013, it appeared the Pirates were a team on the rise. A poor April put the Bucs in a bit of a hole, one they've slowly tried to dig out of. This year, pitching has been subpar while the bats have only recently started to wake up. It's too early to draw conclusions as there's plenty of baseball still to be played, but the loss of A.J. Burnett from the rotation and some rough starts from key offensive contributors have led to serious struggles. Still, don't count Pittsburgh out yet, as it does have some talented youngsters and an exciting roster.
The Pirates' top two starters, Francisco Liriano and Gerrit Cole, started off relatively strong, but oblique and shoulder fatigue issues, respectively, currently leave both on the DL. Cole has a below-average strikeout rate, but the former top draft pick is just scratching the surface of his immense talent. Their absence puts the burden squarely on the shoulders of veteran and Friday's starter Charlie Morton as well as young right-handers Vance Worley and Brandon Cumpton. In 14 starts this season, Morton's had a fine season, posting a 3.09 ERA in 87.1 innings. Saturday's starter Worley has only pitched seven major league innings this year, but has a 1.20 ERA in two career starts against the Cubs, though Sunday's starter Cumpton has struggled in 2014. The bullpen continues to be a strength, even with closer Jason Grilli experiencing some bumps.
Early on, defending NL MVP Andrew McCutchen has continued to look every bit the franchise-making superstar—but he was the only one providing any offense. Starling Marte regressed from his great 2013 season, and while Pedro Alvarez is again hitting for power, his low batting average and OBP drive down his value. Neil Walker was having a fine season until he had to undergo an appendectomy. There's no timetable on his return. The Pirates have already made some significant moves to help kick-start the struggling bats, acquiring first baseman Ike Davis from the Mets and bringing up top prospect Gregory Polanco, who's had success at the dish in a very small sample size. The hope is that Marte turns things around, Alvarez starts making more contact, and Polanco can make a big impact on the major league front.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI Odor from HVAC vents
(14 reports)
Condensation in the heater case may cause a musty odor from the heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system after sitting for two hours or more. Our technicians tell us that a cleaner is available for the heater case and the drain system should be checked for debris.

A musty odor coming from the air conditioner vents. Dealer offered to check it for a price, we decline and bought a new AC filter from auto parts store, which I will replace myself. - Visitor
I have begun to notice a distinct smell of antifreeze in the car, especially when climbing mountain ranges. The smell emanates from the vents even if the fan is completely turned off. No solution yet, but I suspect a slight leak in the heater core or the attached hoses. It resulted in extremely lungs for several weeks after an 8 hour road trip. - Visitor
I have noticed when I started using the AC in the Spring now, AC smells like mold. After leaving the fan on high for a few minutes, the smell disappears (and or i'm just getting used to it). - Virju Patel

Progression From MGUS To Myeloma Is Similar Among Japanese And Westerners – A recent study found that Japanese people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) progressed to multiple myeloma at rates similar to those previously reported for Westerners. Specifically, the results showed that 3 percent progressed within 5 years, 9 percent within 10 years, 11.4 percent within 15 years, and 32.1 percent within 20 years. For more information, see the study in the journal Rinsho Ketsueki (abstract).
Pomalidomide May Be Effective In Patients With Amyloidosis – Results from a Phase 2 study show that pomalidomide plus dexamethasone (Decadron), a combination being studied for the treatment of multiple myeloma, may also be effective in previously treated patients with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is a blood disorder that results in the abnormal accumulation of proteins in tissues and organs throughout the body. An estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of myeloma patients also develop symptoms associated with amyloidosis (see related Beacon news). Among the 33 amyloidosis patients included in the study, 48 percent had improved blood cell counts and 15 percent had organ improvement after treatment with pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The median progression-free survival was 14 months, and the median overall survival was 28 months. For more information, see the study in the journal Blood (abstract).
Participants Needed For Myeloma Risk Association Study – The International Myeloma Foundation is conducting a study to determine why certain races and family members are at an increased risk of developing multiple myeloma. The study is a brief survey that multiple myeloma patients can complete via the Internet. To participate, see the study website.
Clinical Insights Education Program – The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is sponsoring an education program for myeloma patients and their families about multiple myeloma clinical insights. The event will be held on April 27 in New York City. Myeloma experts from leading cancer centers will speak about the latest advances in frontline therapy, stem cell transplants, relapsed and refractory myeloma, supportive care, and clinical trials. A question and answer session is included in the program. Registration will begin at 9 a.m., and the program will conclude at 2:30 p.m. For more information or to register, please see the MMRF website.

From the main stage performance with the Webster University Dance Ensemble, to the
student choreographed BFA and Creations Concerts, to the performances off campus at
the American College Dance Association Conference and in local events, dancers learn
and grow at Webster not only in the classroom, but also from performing regularly.
Webster University Dance Ensemble
The Webster University Dance Ensemble is the performance company for the Department
of Dance. Auditions are held each Fall with nationally acclaimed guest artists and
faculty invited to choreograph. The Ensemble produces a major concert each Spring
in the Loretto-Hilton Center's Virginia Browning Mainstage Theatre.
Webster University Dance Ensemble's Spring Concert for 2015 will take place April 17-18 at 7:30pm and April 19 at 2:00pm in the Loretto-Hilton Center's Browning MainStage Theatre.
BFA Choreographic Concerts
BFA concerts are held each year, choreographed and performed by students and produced
on the University's Stage III theatre. As a capstone project, the Bachelor of Fine
Arts candidate is required to choreograph approximately 20 minutes of dance for a
collaborative concert with their peers and successfully complete all aspects of production,
including costuming, lighting, and PR/marketing.
The BFA concerts will be presented October 9-11 and
November 6-8 at Stage III in Webster Hall. Thursday and Friday night performances begin at 7:30pm. The Saturday matinees begin at 2:00pm.
Creations Concerts
Toward the end of each semester, students have the option to participate in a completely
student created, choreographed, and performed Creations Concert. All students are
welcome to explore choreographing their own dances for this performance in the Jean
and Wells Hobler Center for Dance.
Webster University's Department of Dance students will be showcasing their works on December 12 at 7:30pm and May 1 at 8:00pm.
American College Dance Association
The Webster University Dance Ensemble participates annually in the Regional American College Dance Association Conference. Webster's choreography is regularly selected for the event's galas, an acknowledgment
of the outstanding training one receives at Webster University. In addition to regular
performance opportunities in the Department, dance majors are encouraged to explore
performance, choreographic, and teaching opportunities in the community.
The Dance Club, in coordination with the Department of Dance will be chartering students and faculty to Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) from March 21-25, 2015 to participate in classes and perform at the Central Region Conference
Community Performances
Webster Dance students actively perform in the community throughout the year. Some
of the opportunities in any one year might include the Dancing In The Streets Festival
in the Grand Arts district of St. Louis, performances at Laumeier Sculpture Park,
Webster University Alumni and Parent Week performances on the Quad, and National Dance
Week festival at Union Station in St. Louis.

REITs are down big today, look at ICF and IYR, even though REITs are still cheap due to the selloff in the sector the last few weeks.Yet IGR is still up today after yesterday's excellent performance. I guess people are recognizing that IGR is way cheap compared to its NAV and getting back in, a good sign.I just hope that today is just an anomaly in the REIT sector and the recovery in TEITs resumes tomorrow after today's silly selloff after yesterday's gains that still left REITs undervalued.
I don't care about the stock prices of the various REITS, but I do care about the distributions. Many of the large US REITS were vastly overpriced and should return to the mean, and maybe below for a while. Simon Property Group (SPG) got WAY too expensive for my taste as I will never buy a REIT not paying out at least 5.5-6%. IT could be a good buy at some pont since no new malls are being built. We shall see. Problem for IGR is reduction in distributions by the REITS it holds. My theory in buying IGR was that the international holdings will offset some weakness in the US. IMHO, the dollar will really start to decline against most other currencies, so those foreign REITS payouts will be enhanced from the US holders perspective. We shall see. Personally, I would not buy any US based REIT that was not payong out at least 7-8%, and maybe in this market environment 10-12%.
Let me just add that I checked the holdings of IYR and in my opinion IYR would have to get down to 32 before I would give it a serious look. I'm no short, but the yields have to increase on these big REITS since the underlying real property will not be increasing in value any time soon in all probability. So for many investors the distribution yield will be all that matters since the growth part will stagnant for 5 or 6 years. The only way for the yields to increase is for the price to go down, probably around 50%, imho. Not trying to be alarmist, just pragmatic. The problem is that many of these REITS just got way too pricey. I still think IGR is a good play due to the international exposure. But I could be wrong about everything.

Winterbourne Botanic Garden
Winterbourne Garden is the University of Birmingham's botanic garden and is used by students as well as being open to the public. It was originally an "early 20th century suburban villa garden", the small estate having been built in 1903. The last private owner bequeathed it to the University in 1944. The first garden layout was inspired by Gertrude Jekyll of the Arts and Crafts movement and was further developed over the years. Today its six acres hold national collections of roses and displays plants from all over the world. Particular features are the Nut Tunnel, woven from living hazel, and a sunken rock garden with Japanese Tea House. It is open April to September, Mondays to Fridays 11am to 4pm and Sundays 11am to 5pm. The remainder of the year it is open Mondays to Fridays noon to 3.30pm.

text: Note to self check out Star Wars: Dark Empire (Trilogy Volume) and Star Wars: Tales of The Jedi (Omnibus). Not Likely now considering there's a "Star Wars" and "Star Wars: Legacy" both ongoing new titles. Really dig the "Star Wars" comic with all it's classic characters. I was also a big fan of "Star Wars: Legacy" featuring Cade Skywalker and this Ania Solo seems to be like a potentially very interesting character.

Live on Caller.com: What's happening Friday
Follow what reporters in the Caller-Times newsroom are doing today
COASTAL BEND - Friday will be the third day in the capital murder trial of Laura Day, in connection with the drowning death of her 6-year-old stepson, Taylor Syring.
Day had told police that she and the boy went to the beach south of Bob Hall Pier alone in October of 2012.
She said she let Taylor take off his life jacket in shallow water and he disappeared under the water, police said. She said she looked around and found him face down in the water, pulled him ashore and tried to get him breathing on the beach, police said.
When he didn't start breathing, Day rushed Taylor to Corpus Christi Medical Center Bay Area, but emergency medical staff were unable to revive him, police said.
Other things we will be reporting on Friday:
– While most of the Moody High School seniors will graduate at 7 p.m. tonight in the American Bank Center, seniors on the baseball team, playing in Class 4A state title game in Round Rock at the same time, will get their diplomas in Austin.
– We'll have more on the man arrested Thursday in connection with Aaron Juarez's death.
– Get live updates from Friday's Major League Baseball games and the Corpus Christi Hooks.
We'll have live events as they happen. Follow Corpus Christi area police, fire and medics with our scanner. Or just follow along below:

Limited-time feature
30 year old woman | Audubon, NJ, USA | Seeking men 27-34 within 25 miles
Not just your average girl next-door.
I am energetic, funny, easy-going, and know my way around the kitchen. I enjoy meeting up with my friends and can have fun doing anything as long as I'm around good people. I love being active, going on hikes, or going to the gym. But I also enjoy a good relaxing night. I like to watch movies, especially comedies, but can be convinced to watch any kind of movie. I really like the beach and try to spend as much time there as I can. I always enjoy catching a Phillies game. I like to think of myself as a positive person. Life's too short to focus on the negative, right? I like to try new things and travel. I am kind of a foodie. I love to cook at home but also like new/different restaurants here in NJ and in the city. I have a great family who I am very close with. I recently got a puppy named Lucy who also keeps me busy. I feel like I'm at a great place in my life and the only thing that's missing is someone to share it all with....that's where maybe you come in... I'm looking for a guy who is easy going, funny, and caring. I really value my family so someone that feels the same way about theirs is a plus. I love to cook and try new recipes, so if you're willing to be my taste-tester, you get bonus points! Feel free to send me a message if you want to know more!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Aerobics, Baseball, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
Middle of the Road
Philly for dinner: Alma de Cuba, Buddakan, and El Vez are some of my favorites. I'm always looking for new places to try. Any suggestions? Anywhere tropical. The beach.
How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, anything on The Food Network, Mumford and Sons, Jack Johnson, The 1975, Of Monsters and Men, reading on the beach, barbecues, thunderstorms, snow days, road trips, a good restaurant.
Phillies games, spending time with friends/family, trying new restaurants, cooking, movies, and concerts to name a few.
I do like to read but don't have as much time as I'd like to actually do it. I read a lot of kid's books as part of my job...those probably don't count do they?

The purpose of this document is to provide clients of Brewin Dolphin with information in relation to our Order Execution Policy and to seek your consent to such policy.
If you provide us with a specific instruction to deal for you it may prevent us from following our Order Execution Policy which is designed to obtain the best possible result for you on a consistent basis taking into account the factors outlined in section 3.
When dealing for you we will consider:
In assessing the most appropriate route to carrying out your order we will consider the following criteria:
(1) Certainty of execution
(2) Client type
(3) Costs
(4) Order Size
(5) Price
(6) Settlement
(7) Speed of execution
(8) Any other criteria relevant to the execution of the order.
The weighting/relevance of these factors may differ between Retail and Professional clients. Professional clients should also refer to section 7.
When dealing in a financial instrument on your behalf we will exercise our discretion in assessing the criteria that we need to take into account to provide you with the best result ("best execution"). The relative importance of these criteria will be judged on an order-by-order basis in line with our commercial experience and with reference to market conditions. In executing orders for Retail clients, in the absence of any specific instructions, we generally give precedence to the factors that allow us to deliver the best possible result in terms of value (total cost) to the client.
A list of the execution venues we may use can include Regulated Markets (London Stock Exchange/PLUS), Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF) and the Retail Service Provider network (RSP). However, we reserve the right to use other unlisted execution venues which we deem appropriate and which accord with our Order Execution Policy.
We will regularly assess the execution venues available and may add or delete venues in accordance with our obligation to provide you with the best possible execution result on a consistent basis. We will notify you of material changes to our Order Execution Policy
as outlined in section 9, however for an up to date list of execution venues at any time please visit www.brewin.co.uk periodically as you will not be notified separately of additions or deletions to this list. You may also request a hard copy of the list at any time.
We may deem it appropriate or advantageous to execute your order outside a Regulated Market or MTF even where the investment ("financial instrument") concerned is trading on a Regulated Market or MTF. For example this may be:
(1) On an "over the counter" (OTC) basis with a market participant;
(2) By crossing your order with that of another opposing client ("Agency Cross");
(3) By executing your order with a "Systematic Internaliser" (a firm which trades on its own book) or other liquidity provider;
(4) Or occasionally executed by Brewin Dolphin on its own account.
We need your signed authority to allow us to execute an order under 1, 2 and 3 above.
Having assessed the relevant criteria and any specific instructions provided by you we will select the most appropriate venue(s) from those available and execute your order accordingly.
If you give us an investment instruction at a specified price limit or better and for a specified size (a limit order), then it may not always be possible to execute that order under the prevailing market conditions. We would be required to make your order public (i.e. show the order to the market) in such a case unless you agree that we need not do so. We think it is in your best interests if we exercise our discretion as to whether or not we make your order public. We ask you to agree, (by signing the form attached) to our not making your orders public, save where we consider it is in your best interests to do so.
Brewin Dolphin will execute Professional client orders in accordance with the Order Execution Policy stated above. Retail client execution venues may be unavailable to certain classes of Professional client.
Brewin Dolphin will actively monitor compliance with its Order Execution Policy.
Brewin Dolphin will regularly review its Order Execution Policy and should a material change occur we will post an updated version of this document on our website: www.brewin.co.uk. Where you have not registered for our Online Valuation service and elected to receive electronic communication from us, we will send you an updated hard copy where we make any material change to the policy. All clients can request a hard copy of our Order Execution Policy at any time by contacting their client executive. Brewin Dolphin requires your prior express consent to certain conditions of its Order Execution Policy, as in sections 4 and 6 above. Please note that if you do not provide your consent to our Order Execution Policy you may be limiting our ability to execute your orders on the most advantageous terms for you. Should you require further information or assistance in relation to the Order Execution Policy please contact your client executive. We cannot accept amendments to this document.
We are always looking for ways to improve our service, so if there is something you think we could do better, or that you think we are doing really well, we would love to hear from you.
The only thing we ask is that you do not include any personal information, like account numbers, in your email. If your matter is urgent, needing our personal attention, please contact your local office.
You may be contacted to follow up on your comments but we don't keep any personal information, so you won't be contacted for marketing purposes and we will not share your personal information with anyone outside of the company.
