LAKEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — State troopers are warning drivers to pay attention after mind-wandering crashes doubled in Colorado last year.FOX31 went on an exclusive ride-along with Colorado State Patrol to learn firsthand about the growing problem. These are not people on their phones, but still, their lack of attention could end — and has ended — in extreme danger and death on the roadways.“It could be any time of the day,” CSP Trooper Gabriel Moltrer said. “I've seen instances where people have actually hit the rear of semis from not being fully aware of their surroundings, and they just end up just driving right into them. People not navigating their turns properly because their mind is elsewhere." ‘Please drive safely’ sign honors mother who died after motorcycle crash In 2022, when state troopers determined a human factor for an injurious or fatal crash caused by distraction, the second-largest human factor was “looked but did not see," or a person’s mind was elsewhere.

Pork Scallopini with Mustard Sauce layers on the flavor

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:38:57 GMT

This sweet and tangy mustard sauce goes perfectly with these pork scallopini slices. The scallopini is made by pounding slices of pork tenderloin to about 1/2 inch thick. I find that without any fat, the tenderloin or bone can be very dry. This easy sauce takes care of that. The pork and sauce are served with sauteed baby kale that is mixed with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar adding another layer of texture and flavor.The baby kale is made first in the skillet, then the pork and sauce use the same skillet. So there is only one pan to clean.I use shallots in the sauce. They are in the onion family but have a milder flavor. They have a teardrop shape and can be found near the onions in the produce department.You can use arugula or collard greens instead of baby kale.You can use any type of sweet onion instead of shallots.You can use any whole grain bread or rolls.TAG GOES HEREPork Scallopini with Mustard Sauce and Sauteed KaleINGREDIENTS3/4 pound pork tenderloin3 teaspoons ol...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is looking for a new director. After only two years as the agency’s leader, Massachusetts resident Dr. Rochelle Walensky has called it quits.The CDC, part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, works to protect  us from health and disease risks and is responsible for communicating serious public health issues to the nation with honest, timely and credible information. Sadly, the CDC and its leader did not measure up to its important mission during the COVID pandemic!.Unfortunately, President Biden’s selection of Walensky for this vital public health assignment resulted in a tumultuous experience for her and the agency from which they have yet to fully recover.Unlike Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, who had expertise in politics, public communications, public policy and  executive leadership as mayor of Boston, Walensky had no such experience. This created serious credibility challenges for her and the CDC during th...
