  Boulder's Karl Hanzel, as seen in a photo by NPR correspondent Jeff Brady. National Public Radio has told a couple of prominent national stories through a Colorado prism in recent days. Last week, the service offered "News For Sale?," a report about the growing movement to charge for online information products that had previously been available for free -- and among those interviewed were Denver-based MediaNews executive Jody Lodovic, commenting on a plan sketched in detail by MediaNews CEO De

• Colorado State University smells like... deer and locker rooms?

  Yesterday, National Public Radio aired a story about Masik Collegiate Fragrances of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is developing a line of scents that are supposed to capture the essences of specific universities. Thus far, the firm has only come up with fragrances for Penn State and the University of North Carolina -- so an intrepid NPR correspondent headed out to the streets to ask grads from other schools what smell would best capture their alma mater. The first person who speaks is Yvonne

• Colorado Public Radio story goes national

  This morning, National Public Radio broadcast a first-rate report about mortgage scams. Yet its source was more surprising than its content -- because it's a product of Colorado Public Radio. The appearance of a CPR package on the national broadcast shouldn't be that rare. After all, the service is by far the largest of its kind in the state of Colorado, with the resources that come along with such status. Even so, the vast majority of pieces from our fair state that get national airing are h

• Colorado Public Radio announces pay cuts, salary freeze despite successful fund drive

  Photo by Anthony CameraMax Wycisk, in a 2002 photo. Colorado Public Radio met its $1.6 million goal at the (blessed) end of its recent Drive to Thrive campaign. But that doesn't mean the organization is done with cutbacks. The network has just issued a press release announcing 3 percent pay reductions for all employees, as well as a year-long salary freeze to go along with the previously announced suspension of retirement-fund matches. Read CPR boss Max Wycisk's reasons for the move below:

• Cooking Dirty: A peek inside

  Guess who?While I have spilled gallons of virtual ink over the shameless self-promotion of my new book, Cooking Dirty, one thing I haven't yet managed to tell anyone?  What the damnable beast is actually about.  What, in fact, someone willing to lay down a little dough might get for their hard-earned dollars. Yeah, that's a fairly big oversight on my part.  I've shown the book itself.  I've shown off my own smirking face in a kind of meta-orgy of blown covers and uncovered se

• Patient Central judges Denver's best (and worst) doctors

  An image from the Patient Central website.​This morning, National Public Radio featured a story on Patient Central, a new website that conducts surveys to rank the top doctors in a given area, as well as those who earned the ire of respondents. At this point, the site focuses on three metro areas: greater Memphis, greater Kansas City and, yes, the Denver-Aurora-Boulder nexus. The Patient Central home page, presented under the auspices of Consumers' Checkbook, which describes itself as a "

Plenty, according to a report by Colorado Public Radio producer Zachary Barr that's airing on National Public Radio stations across the country today. At the event, which took place in Longmont, there were more sellers than buyers, with an especially large supply of scrapers like the one pictured above in stock. The much-higher-than-usual number of these earth-moving vehicles being sold, sometimes fo

First up, Michele Norris interviewed Bill Hayes, who heads the company behind Jon & Kate Plus 8; Hayes declared that the Heene
