CU's Resolving Door Holds the Key to Students' Success
By Grace Eckert
Ever wonder where the least expensive place is to study abroad? Or, what the CU student government really does? Or, where the quiet study spots are on campus? If you find yourself asking questions like these, the Resolving Door website holds the answers.
The Resolving Door has been student run and operated for nearly two years. The website enables students to ask questions and get their questions answered about life at CU. Though the topics vary widely, the site organizes them in an easy and efficient way for you to find exactly what you are looking for.
The Resolving Door project offers journalism students the opportunity to learn about the growth of new media technology. For this journalism elective, Instructor Daniel Schaefer teaches his students about citizen journalism and how to examine new models of news production and distribution based on the sites' content.
Two recent website additions aim to help connect students to life on the campus. The Red Phone invites students to ask specific questions geared to the CU student government. This not only increases student involvement with the leaders on campus, but is also a tool that directs transparent communication between them. Another addition, CU Crowd Campus Map draws on students' collective knowledge from Resolving Door answers to tag points of interest on campus.
Whether you are just beginning your journey at CU or looking to become better familiarized with the community, the Resolving Door website offers helpful resources to succeed at CU. It provides students with a voice in both asking and answering questions, making it unique to what CU students really care about. So, if you're looking for the best place to study, the Resolving Door can be a helpful aid in becoming aninvolved student at CU.

So I've been saving back a while and have decided its time to spend. Problem is, I could get a 1911 in 9mm or 45 for less than $600.. or I could pay $750 and get a usp 9mm.. I know hk has an awesome rep, just curious if everyone thinks it's worth the price. It's a full size with three magazines. Used but nra rated like new.

I can tell you that my HK45 is the very best straight out of the box .45 I have ever shot. at 25 yards I was able to put the rounds in an area about the size of a silver dollar.
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose. ~James Earl Jones
compairing an 1911 t an HK is like compairing an one speed bicycle to a crotch rocket... yeah there is that much difference 1911's feed problems, ammo fussy, spring tend to wear out after only a few thousand rounds, limited mag cap, rust resistance not so good,... HK will feed anything you can fit in the mag reliably, springs are good for more rounds than you will cycle it though, higher mag cap, and are better than SS on rust resistance!
Yeah, I've been leaning more and more towards the hk. I just wish it we the compact model and not the full frame (can't imagine a full frame hk being fun to carry). But hey, beggars can't be choosers. Byron brought up why not by new.. bc I can't find one new. Everywhere I've seen them in stock all they have is 45 ( don't want 45) and they are upwards of $950.
Why 9mm ? Is this is range pistol ? USP is older model, P30 is the newer model. I prefer DA/SA w safety/decocker but they make a LEM trigger 5.5-8.5 lb. ( parts are on sale right now for $77 ) I like HK but at $750 you could also get a lot of other pistols. Are you open to other models ?
Byron, I tried to reply to your most recent pm but it says your pm folder is full. Might wanna clear it out lol. But if you have that info just pm it to me, I'd really appreciate it.

Baton Rouge, LA â May 2010⦠The Louisiana State Capital, which houses the Louisiana State Legislature, the governor's office, and parts of the executive branch, is a national historic landmark. Completed in 1932, the 34-story, 450-foot Alabama limestone-clad skyscraper is decorated with sculpture representing the Stateâs history and is the tallest capitol building in the United States, the tallest building in Baton Rouge, and the seventh-tallest building in Louisiana. The Louisiana State Capital is presently undergoing a multi-phase upgrade of its audio-visual facilities and, as part of this effort, numerous microphones from Milford, NH-based Earthworks Inc. are being deployed.
NBTA Engineers, Inc. of Baton Rouge, an engineering consultancy that designs audio-visual, telecommunications, and security systems, was contracted to handle the design and specification of the buildingâs extensive electronics upgrade. As microphones are critical elements in this type of installationânot only for sound reinforcement, but also for recording/documentation purposesâNBTAâs design team took a long, hard look at the manner in which the microphones are typically used. Trez Traylor, President of NBTA Engineers, discussed the challenges they encountered.
âDuring our observations of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, Traylor explained, âwe quickly realized that, unlike professional entertainers, many of the men and women had littleâif anyâreal experience using microphones. Some people would hold the mic against their chest as they spoke while others would look down at their paperwork without taking into account the placement of the microphone. The result was extremely inconsistent sound quality and audio levels, making it quite challenging to hear what was being said. For this reason, we knew that off-axis microphone performance was critical if we were to improve the situation.â?
âSimilarly,â? he continued, âwe needed to find microphones that were easy to use, could be positioned at the optimum height, and in some cases, provided visual feedback as to their on/off status. We quickly realized we were looking at a situation that required customization. After identifying the most promising microphone models, we spoke with a number of manufacturers. In short order, we selected Earthworksâboth for the performance of their microphones as well as for the companyâs responsiveness and flexibility in terms of addressing our requirements.â?
The first phase of NBTAâs Louisiana State Capital Audio â Video Systems Upgrade called for 114 Earthworks SR25 microphones and 46 of the companyâs popular FlexMic models. For the SR25âs, the Earthworks engineering team customized the microphonesâ sound for handheld applications, used a lighter metal to better facilitate comfort while holding the microphones, and also used an anodized finish to ensure greater durability. Additionally, the modifications called for 40 âscrew-onâ windscreens. The Earthworks FlexMic, which is being used for tabletop applications, was customized with a special, extended boom length and had LED light rings incorporated into the tip of the microphones to indicate on/off status. Ford Audio-Video, a well known integration firm with numerous offices throughout the United States, handled the actual installation.
The Earthworks microphones are installed throughout both chambers of the Louisiana State Capital as well as in committee rooms. Traylor commented on the microphones applications, âTo ensure the greatest ease of use, we have the SR25 handheld microphones connected via a special assembly that automatically retracts the microphone cable back into the desk. This keeps cable clutter to an absolute minimum while the mics are in use and effectively hides the cable the moment it is put down. The FlexMics, which are positioned on lecterns and all other permanent positions at the front of the two chambers, connect directly into a flush mounted XLR connector on the surfaceâcreating a clean look and providing easy to adjust positioning.â? Biamp Audia and QSC Q-Flex networked audio processing and management systems provide DSP functionality and a Crestron automation system integrates the microphones with other equipment.
Before turning his attention to other matters, Traylor commented on Earthworksâ customer and technical support services and its impact on the Louisiana State Capital project. âEveryone at Earthworks has been a pleasure to do business with,â? he said. âThe company has a real âcan doâ attitude and they delivered the equipment right on schedule. I was impressed with the companyâs understanding of what we were looking to accomplish and of their willingness to provide mockup products during the evaluation stage. Weâve been very pleasedâboth with the performance of the equipment as well as the companyâs ability to take on custom projects. As we complete this first phase of the Louisiana State Capitalâs audio-visual renovation, weâre now looking at the second phase, which involves roughly eleven more committee roomsâeach with anywhere from 15-25 microphones. Rest assured, weâre planning on bringing Earthworks back for the next round!â?
