The Santa Cruz County Bomb Team has been called to investigate. The main entrance will be closed until the bomb team determines there is no danger. Students have been alerted via phone and e-mail to avoid the main entrance to campus. A member of the Santa Cruz County Bomb Team is preparing to blast the device with a water cannon. Police have evacuated 300 feet around the device, which includes homes on High Street and a few buildings on the UCSC campus.
Among the buildings that have been evacuated is a child care facility. Cars headed there are being rerouted to the west entrance on Empire Grade. Traffic is reportedly heavy in the area. Witnesses at the scene said they think the device is part of a Geocaching-type game. Geocaching is an online treasure hunt game where players use a Global Positioning System receiver to hide and seek containers called geocaches. The caches are typically small waterproof containers that have a logbook and “treasure,” often toys or trinkets. Santa Cruz police spokesman Zach Friend said the coordinates of the device matches coordinates from a Geocaching game.
Sean Levasseur, a student at UCSC, said he had a midterm at 10 a.m. today but said he doubted he’d make it to the test on time. He said he hoped his professor would give him some “leeway.” “I hope that they don’t count it against me,” he said.
Stanley Rabut, a student at UCSC, said he awoke to three text messages from the university around 10 a.m. alerting him to the situation. “It’s a lot of hoopla over nothing,” he said.
Houston remains an attractive destination for out-of-town restaurant groups, especially near the Galleria. Since May, River Oaks District has already seen five high-profile openings with Toulouse, Hopdoddy, Steak 48, Taverna, and Le Colonial, which opened on Monday. Now, another California-based concept has announced its plans to come to Houston this fall.
Bosscat Kitchen & Libations will open its first Texas location near River Oaks District at the Westheimer Oaks mixed-use complex at Westheimer and Mid Lane that will also be home to Adair Kitchen's sister restaurant Eloise Nichols Grill & Liquors. Although the restaurant has had a social media presence for several months, it is only now releasing details about what will be its flagship Texas location. The almost 7,000 square foot restaurant will seat over 200 diners.
Founded by owners John “JT” Reed, Leslie "Bosscat" Nguyen, and Vincent Capizzi in 2014, the bar and restaurant is known for its comfort food menu and an extensive whiskey selection that should exceed more than 350 spirits. At the heart of the location is a glass-enclosed whiskey room that houses all the spirits as well as 40 whiskey lockers for VIPs and a 12-person private dining table. A "mini-rickhouse" will allow those same VIPs to mix and store their own barrel-aged cocktails.
All three owners as well as executive chef Peter Petro, general manager Tai Nguyen (a native Houstonian who once worked at Ruggles Grill), and bar director Matt Sharpe are moving to Houston as part of the expansion.
Skimming through Nguyen and Petro's Instagram feeds shows they've been visiting the Bayou City for several months as part of the process of learning about their new home. Petro's menu will feature local purveyors like 44 Farms, Black Hill Ranch, and Kraftsmen Baking in dishes such as a barbecue porchetta sandwich, Cajun brick chicken, and a beef short rib with Asian-style black pepper sauce.
Lots of Houston bars and restaurants offer great whiskey selections, but none of them are located near the Galleria. As long as the food tastes as good as it looks, that should help Bosscat stand out from the crowd .

Egghead Inc., a pioneering computer industry retailer that has struggled for years, said yesterday that it would close its remaining 80 stores and shift entirely to Internet sales. Citing years of declining revenue and operating losses, the company, based in Spokane, Wash., said it would change its name to Egghead.com Inc., eliminate about 800 of its 1,000 jobs and try to capitalize on the explosive growth of Internet commerce. For Egghead, which was founded in 1984 and once had more than 200 stores and 2,500 employees, the shift is the latest in a series of restructurings. Its stock fell $1.375 a share, to $6.375.
Fort Myers native son Bill Mellor can spin endless tales about the dinner plate-sized oysters and monster snook of once-upon-a-time Estero Bay. But there's more to his relationship with those waters than fish stories. If not for Mellor and a band of teachers, farmers, anglers and residents, Estero Bay's mangroves would have been replaced with a maze of Cape Coral-style canals.
Armed with Cracker canniness, an encyclopedic knowledge of legal decisions and a stubborn streak as wide as the Caloosahatchee River, Mellor stared down Florida's governor and Kennedy- and Rockefeller-backed developers.
Starting in the 1950s, the battle continued more than a decade before ending in Florida Supreme Court. Along the way, Mellor's phone was tapped and he gathered a handful of death threats. But Mellor and company saved the bay, which became Florida's first aquatic preserve, and set precedents that have since helped the Great Lakes and San Francisco Bay.

There are only 15 people on the Texas roster this season, making it one of the smallest teams in the country.
Tuesday can be a slow day for Texas at Disch-Falk Field. The competition isn’t as tough as the weekend series’ and the crowds aren’t as big, which can put the Longhorns in a fog. Players have admitted that they’ve had trouble this season with their excitement level on Tuesdays, and coaches realize it can be a problem.
If you’re a Texas fan, how worrying is 3-1?
The Longhorns rewrote several pieces of the school record book in their two-game sweep of Iowa State during the weekend.

Thousands of people have attended a girl's birthday party in Mexico, after her parent's video invitation to "everyone" went viral on social media.
Family members had to move away an army of waiting reporters so Rubi Ibarra Garcia could attend a Mass in La Joya community, central Mexico.
She was celebrating her 15th birthday - a traditional coming-of-age party in Mexico known as "quinceanera".
About 1.2 million people had earlier vowed to attend the party.
However, the father later said the idea had been to invite neighbours and friends only - while stressing he would not turn anyone away.
On Monday, dozens of tents and tables filled with food were prepared for those who made the journey.
In the video posted online earlier this month the girl's father said that "everyone is welcome" to the party featuring three local bands, a meal and a horse race.
The footage shows Crescencio Ibarra standing next to his daughter Rubi and his wife Anaelda Garcia.
"Hello, how are you? We invite you this 26 December to the 15th birthday party of our daughter, Rubi Ibarra Garcia," Mr Ibarra says, while his daughter smiles.
He then goes on to announce that the winner of the horse race to be held as part of the event stands to win 10,000 pesos ($490; £390).
He ends by saying that "hereby everyone is cordially invited".
It is not clear why this particular video went viral and was shared more than 800,000 times and prompted countless memes and imitations.
Mr Ibarra said in a later TV interview he had no idea what had caught the public's imagination.
"We wanted to invite the people from the area, that's all," he said, before denying he had since uninvited all but personal acquaintances.

Natalie Portman did not hold back in her acceptance speech at Variety’s Power of Women event presented by Lifetime, making the case for improving efforts to ensure gender parity across industries.
After shouting out Time’s Up’s new CEO and president, Lisa Borders, the “Vox Lux” actress kicked off a speech centered around seven guidelines that she advised the audience to abide by, ranging from not depicting violence against women in the projects they’re involved in to donating to Time’s Up to hiring three women in positions that they don’t ordinarily occupy.
She namechecked Brett Ratner and his lawyer Marty Singer, who recently dropped a defamation case against Ratner’s accuser, Melanie Kohler, after Kohler received legal defense aid from Time’s Up.
“He saw that she could not be bullied legally just because he has hundreds of millions of dollars and she does not,” she explained.
Portman also talked at length about Harvey Weinstein, lamenting the fact that the Manhattan district attorney dropped one of the cases against him and slamming the way Weinstein’s concerted effort to discredit his victims robbed the industry of a whole generation of women.
Portman concluded by connecting humans’ phylogenetic class, mammals, to how the distribution of power works.
The former Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) protocol chief accused of falsifying expense claims, plans to plead guilty to charges.
Lim Cheng Hoe, who faces 60 counts of cheating the ministry of almost $89,000, indicated through his lawyers that he will plead guilty at a pre-trial conference on Thursday.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Kelvin Kow told reporters after the hearing that a plea mention - for Lim to plead guilty - has been fixed for Feb 17. Details of the prosecution's offer are expected by the next pre-trial conference on Jan 29.
Lim, 60, allegedly submitted false expense claims for pineapple tarts and wine between February 2008 and May 2012. He is represented by Mr Philip Fong and Mr Nicklaus Tan from Harry Elias Partnership.
The second forum is about to get started with the discussion groups at the Baptist Church, Aug 24, 2010.
April 2014 – Editor’s Note: In light of the recent OB Town Council meeting that ended up focusing on the homeless, we wanted to repost a report of a Town Meeting on Homelessness – on August 24, 2010!
The second in a series of Community Forums on the homeless and homelessness in Ocean Beach was held last night, Tuesday, August 24th. The First Baptist Church on the corner of Sunset Cliffs Blvd and Santa Monica had opened their doors to the neighborhood, offering pastries, juices, coffee, etc. The event was organized by the OB Inter-Faith Community – a grouping of about a half dozen local churches.
About sixty people crowded into the assembly hall. After some brief intros by Jack Hamlin, we were directed to choose one of four areas to meet over – public facilities, community, government, and activities. Jack is a Catholic lay organizer and “jack of all trades” he told me.
I chose “community” and sat down in a circle with about a dozen other folks. We had three young college women from Point Loma Nazarene, Pastor Karen from the Lutheran Church, the former head of the Coalition for Affordable Housing, the owner of the Green Store, Steven who served as our facilitator, the head of the County Task Force on Homeless, Jim – a guy who lives out of his van in OB, and the rest of us community people.
For about an hour and half we discussed what we’d like to see happen, how we can do it and what we would do towards that goal.
I don’t know what the other groups came up with – as another report will be made by the organizers on what everyone covered.
But our group came up with a number of suggestions. Chief on our plate was some kind of permanent homeless coalition for Ocean Beach. It could be a larger coalition than that already organized by the churches. We’d like to also see some kind of liaison person who knows all the homeless services available who would be able to direct homeless folks towards those services.
We also discussed having some kind of day drop-in center, that would be a safe place, where houseless people can do their laundry, have access to info of different programs, etc. Some of us felt that such a center is important but would run into a terrible anti-homeless bias out there. It was mentioned that a center has been discussed for years in this community. I reminded people about the old Inbetween, a drop-in center on Newport Ave for young people and street people in general back in the seventies. I had worked there for a year. When government funding dried up, it had to close. (Now it appears that two story building will someday be a high end Italian restaurant.
People in our “peace circle” also were interested in a voucher program for homeless that other cities have – people give homeless a voucher instead of money that can be turned in at local markets. They can get food and drink but not alcohol and cigarettes with the vouchers.
We were informed of a number of groups and programs out there for the homeless. We would like to research a number of them.
Everyone was friendly and hopeful. But there was a certain seriousness to our discussions. We want to see something actually happen that involves the homeless in our community. We want to see some real results from these series of forums and discussions.
Jack Hamlin closed the meeting, thanking everyone and promising a report out soon on what the different groups came up with. He also promised another forum “within six weeks,” he said.
Great to be at the event, and to see the community members who care so deeply.
There are couple of efforts upcoming that have a direct impact on working to alleviate homelessness.
The 100K Initiative is focused on downtown San Diego, but the same concept could be applied to O.B.
The RTFH Point-In-Time count will be held in January 2011.
We would greatly appreciate your involvement in helping us to assess an accurate count of homelessness in O.B. – the results of the count lead to many things: awareness, understanding, regional funding, and more. To be able to accurately explain the crisis to our elected leaders is the power needed to induce action on their part. I hope you can join our efforts, and thank you for all that you are doing, your compassion, and your commitment to your community and fellow citizens.
Just one correction for now, more later….
There’s a great book to read which came out this past month (I’ve read it and highly recommend it!!) written by a resident in Pt Loma: h.Alton Jones. The title is: The Man on the Bench. It’s a true story about a homeless man who sat on a bench on Rosecrans St one block north of the Post Office on Canon St for around 10 years and the search for his family after his death this past year. It tells about the interactions between the author and the Man on the Bench over a number of years! It’s a paperback and sells for $14.95—maybe less on Amazon.com (I don’t know).
I “knew” the man on the bench when I lived on that side of the hump. It sort of cracks me up how some folks on that side of the Peninsula now consider themselves to be heroic for taking care of “the man on the bench” and folks here in OB are considered to be excessively tolerant when we stand up for the rights of the homeless.
Thanks for the tip Donna.
Toxic smoke and fumes from a major fire at the SKM Recycling factory in the northern Melbourne working-class suburb of Coolaroo late last week led to five people being hospitalised and the evacuation of more than 115 nearby households.
