Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:51 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN)-- It will be at least another two weeks before Texas Department of Public Safety troopers could return to Austin, Austin Police's assistant chief said Monday. In an update to the public safety commission, James Mason said they've already seen an uptick in violent crime since their partnership with the agency was paused about three weeks ago when troopers were redeployed to the border. DPS temporarily halts partnership in Austin "In the areas where DPS was deployed, it did reduce the calls for service and reduce our response times and reduce our violent crimes," Mason said. "We see it moving back in the direction of the levels that we were seeing before. I would expect we'll see it get quite a bit higher," said Jonathan Kringen, APD's chief data officer. Austin Police showed this map to public safety commissioners Thursday. The dotted, horizontal line shows the average of violent crimes. The two vertical blue lines show the timeframe of the APD/DPS partnership. The g...

Weeknight Dishes: Perfectly grilled chicken, roasted mushroom larb and spaghetti with fried eggs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:51 GMT

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesWouldn’t it be nice to work the grill in a state of total relaxation, with a drink in hand, instead of anxiously poking at the food to make sure you’re doing it right? I think so, and so I’ve decided that this is the summer I’ll finally get better at grilling. Hopefully I’ll progress from a place of basic competence to something like sure-handedness.Grilled Chicken LegsThe best grilled chicken smells like summer. To achieve that charred aroma, you want to crisp the skin while cooking the meat through and keeping it juicy.

As it heats, it caramelizes onto the skin and seeps...
