SPIRITS OF THE BLACK CAT TAVERN: HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY AT A TENNESSEE CAVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF PROHIBITION

Local folklore in Rutherford County, Tennessee suggests that the Black Cat Cave archaeological site (40RD299) concealed an illegal speakeasy during the prohibition era. In 2014, MTSU students and professors conducted an archaeological investigation at the heavily disturbed cave site. This thesis focuses on testing local reports of the cave’s use as a speakeasy through an examination of the modern, twentieth-century bottle glass and metal bottle caps recovered during the 2014 investigation. Using historical archaeology methods, this thesis incorporates: archaeological laboratory procedures, including cataloguing the historic bottle glass and cap collection, archival research into earliest possible manufacture dates, primary source archival research into contemporaneous newspaper articles, and folklore or oral accounts of people who shared their personal experiences at the Black Cat Tavern during prohibition. This thesis recognizes the equal importance of artifact analysis and social historical context and combines them in a material culture study that addresses the local stories of illegal drinking that took place in the subterranean environment.M.A

Limitations on Contract Termination Rights—Franchise Cancellations

Chemokines may contribute to the systemic inflammation that is linked to the increased risk of co-morbidities in patients with psoriasis. The aim of this study was to investigate circulating chemokines in patients with psoriasis and their relationship to disease severity. Analysis of plasma levels of chemokines in patients with psoriasis before narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy revealed increased expression of Th1-associated CXCL9 and -10, Th2-associated CCL17 and CCL22, and Th17-associated CCL20. CCL20 correlated with disease severity. UVB therapy reduced skin symptoms, but did not affect the chemokine levels in plasma. Anti-CD3 and anti-CD28-mediated activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) caused a higher secretion of Th2 cytokine interleukin (IL)-13 by PBMCs from patients with psoriasis than from healthy controls. The sustained high expression of inflammatory chemokines is a potential link to systemic inflammation in psoriasis. UVB therapy may be a more effective treatment of local rather than systemic inflammation

Limitations on Contract Termination Rights—Franchise Cancellations

The remarkable growth in recent years of franchise contracts as a means of marketing a variety of goods and services has been accompanied by an increase in litigation over franchise terminations. To date, however, the courts have provided only stopgap protections against the gravest abuses. Some courts have imposed subjective good faith limitations and a few legislatures have broached the area, but the results have not been satisfactory. Behind the franchise termination situation often lie elementary considerations of fairness which the courts in other contexts have been able to deal with by expanding established principles of contract law. The application of these principles to franchise terminations is the subject of this article
