This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 Lindsay Felten finally felt like she was close to a breakthrough. Multiple times over two years, the mental health clinician tried to find and get a homeless person known as Q into shelter and voluntary services. Community members reported Q was at times incoherent, but when Felten found her, Q declined offers from Felten and her colleagues on the city’s Street Crisis Response Team , said she was fine and walked away. Until, one day, Q engaged with Felten, chatting about the weather — the most receptive Felten had ever seen Q. But the clinician never got the chance to follow up. Later that week, Q was at the center of a media maelstrom after North Beach gallery owner Collier Gwin hosed the homeless person down , triggering the owner’s arrest and exposing the challenges of how to help people who appear mentally unwell on the streets. Felten understood the community’s frustration … [Read more...] about Mayor Breed is spending millions on S.F. street crisis teams. New data shows how they’re working

BANGKOK — It was an anti-Communist blood bath of at least half a million Indonesians. And American officials watched it happen without raising any public objections, at times even applauding the forces behind the killing, according to newly declassified State Department files that show diplomats meticulously documenting the purge in 1965-66. In one of the documents , released on Tuesday , an American political affairs counselor describes how Indonesian officials dealt with prisons overflowing with suspected members of the Indonesian Communist Party, known by the acronym P.K.I. “Many provinces appear to be successfully meeting this problem by executing their P.K.I. prisoners, or by killing them before they are captured,” said the cable sent in 1965 from the American Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, to the State Department. Another cable describes how clerics from an influential Muslim organization in Indonesia advised their flocks that atheist “P.K.I. members are … [Read more...] about U.S. Stood By as Indonesia Killed a Half-Million People, Papers Show

“Fashion is life-enhancing. And I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.” So said Vivienne Westwood, the gleefully subversive British designer who died in December at age 81. And so quoted Marc Jacobs, the erstwhile favorite fashion son of New York, as the epigraph for his latest show, which was a memorial of sorts not just to the influence of Ms. Westwood but also to the power and promise of great clothes. Heck, maybe to his part in the whole fashion system itself. Titled “Heroes,” it was held in the hushed, empty space of the Park Avenue Armory, left in darkness save for a row of chairs against one wall and a spotlit music stand. A single violinist was playing the jarring, dissonant notes of Philip Glass’s “Knee Play 2” from his opera “Einstein on the Beach.” Then from out of the darkness came the light. Or rather, a beat-up-looking cargo jacket and skirt glittering with Swarovski crystals, swathed and crimped into a bustle at the back: Ms. Westwood’s … [Read more...] about A Ghost Appears at the Marc Jacobs Show

Dallas Police have arrested a man in connection to two emperor tamarin monkeys that were taken from the Dallas Zoo earlier this week. Davion Irvin, 24, was booked into the Dallas county jail on Thursday night and faces six charges of animal cruelty in relation to the incident, per a report from the Dallas Morning News. Irvin was taken to police headquarters for questioning after police received a tip that he was spotted at the Dallas World Aquarium. Earlier this week, police shared an image of Irvin with the public, believing him to have information on the missing monkeys.

At the time, the monkeys showed no signs of injury. Members of a church located next to the home where the monkeys were found tipped off police, according to the Dallas Morning News.
