Muscatatuck & the Education of Rep. Banks V23, N5 Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017 Muscatatuck & the education of Rep. Banks Freshman Republican’s ‘arsenal tour’ brings him to the urban warfare center By BRIAN A. HOWEY MUSCATATUCK – It was once haven or hell for the Hoosier feeble- minded. It was once destined to revert from aging infrastructure to farmland. It would have been inhabited by deer, coyotes and red fox. But these days, you’re more likely to find the 82nd Airborne Division or U.S. Special Forces drilling along the “urban canyon” or In- diana’s “Afghan village,” complete with camels. “It’s like walking into a time warp,” said Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr Rep. Jim Banks framed by a shattered windshield at the Muscatatuck Urban Warfare Center. to U.S. Rep. Jim Banks. (HPI Photo by Brian A.

  • Counter-Terrorism and the Law
    WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family.

  • INITIALS C.C. Liner Notes
    Chris Connelly : INITIALS C.C. Out-takes, Rarities and Personal Favourites 1982-2002 vol.1 01. Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.
