The City of Tomorrow With the Spirit of the Past: Bankrolling the Industrial Development of Knoxville, Tennessee, 1875-1907

This study investigates the relationship between banking and the industrial development of a small southern city in the late nineteenth century to determine how the pattern of loans and investments influenced the city\u27s twentieth century industrial development. State and national banking records for Mechanics\u27 Bank of Knoxville, Tennessee from 1875 through 1907 formed the primary documentary evidence for this study. The bank\u27s loan activities and investments in new industry were analyzed to ascertain bank\u27s officers, shareholders and board members financial interests in the companies the bank funded. The study also focused on the ten men who legally controlled the majority of Mechanics\u27 Bank\u27s stock and authorized and recommended loans to local and regional businesses. It was concluded that Knoxville\u27s late nineteenth century industrial growth was primarily self-funded, that investments were funneled to those industries promising quick profits at low risk, that new industries centered on the natural resources of the area: coal, timber and marble, and that the bank\u27s lending pattern centered on conservative, insider knowledge of the probable success of the industries funded

Selective MR imaging approach for evaluation of patients with Horner's syndrome.

Journal ArticlePURPOSE: To assess the usefulness of MR in the evaluation of patients with Horner's syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively performed MR imaging in 33 patients with Horner's syndrome (13 preganglionic and 20 postganglionic) using a protocol specifically designed for pre- and postganglionic varieties of this syndrome. Assignment of patients to pre- or postganglionic categories was performed on the basis of pharmacologic testing. RESULTS: Abnormalities in one-half of the patients with preganglionic Horner's syndrome included lateral medullary infarct, spinal cord/root disease, apical lung tumor, and paravertebral metastatic mass. Three of 20 patients with postganglionic Horner's syndrome had carotid artery dissection. CONCLUSION: Routine scanning of patients who have postganglionic Horner's syndrome with cluster headaches was not helpful in our small serie

National and Coordinated Approaches to Securities Regulation: The Latest Initiatives in Historical Context

If securities regulation is any indication, few countries in the world take their federalism as seriously as Canada does. Notwithstanding an increasingly globalised world, the central reality of Canadian federalism will continue to influence the enactment and enforcement of effective capital markets regulation. In the latest development, on September 8, 2014 the federal government and four participating provinces announced draft legislation, including a new uniform provincial act and new federal legislation, to establish a new Cooperative Capital Markets Regulator (CCMR). Some provinces are strongly opposed, including Québec, which has promised to challenge the proposed regime on constitutional grounds. This chapter surveys Canadian efforts at nationalisation or coordination of securities regulation over the last eight decades. This historical analysis locates current reform efforts in context and compares those efforts, in detail and on the merits, with prior attempts to establish a national or common regulator, statute, or both. The chapter considers the Supreme Court of Canada’s important 2011 decision in Reference re Securities Act, including the question of exactly what it might mean for the federal government to “manage systemic risk” in the capital markets. The chapter then assesses the options available after the Reference, including but not limited to the proposed CCMR, along with the political, administrative and political considerations that will affect any regime going forward. This is a draft chapter in the fifth edition of Securities Regulation in Canada, now forthcoming (2014). As Governor General of Canada, His Excellency David Johnston has refrained from expressing opinions on matters that are currently under public policy discussion. Any views or recommendations on policy changes in this chapter or in the text as a whole are those of Kathleen Rockwell and Cristie Ford, and should not be attributed to His Excellency. As well, the opinions stated here should not be taken to be those of anyone at the Alberta Securities Commission other than Kathleen Rockwell herself
