Mahan ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I particularly wish to thank the nine members of the Steering Committee of the Lambda Social Network who served on my advisory panel and offered comments on the first draft of Chapter IV, as well as other external reviewers: Gene Dockins, Lawrence Holbrooks, M. M., Dorinda Ann Ruiz, Virginia, and other anonymous readers. I am grateful to my committee members, Mary Tallent Runnels, Camille DeBell, and Richard Powell, for their support and valuable assistance. My appreciation goes to Terry Ann Andersen, Kathy Lewallen and the rest of the library staff at South Plains College for their assistance, as well as to Fred Logan and Kaaren Mahan for running innumerable errands. I am also grateful to Texas Tech University which provided partial support for this study through a 1998 Summer Research Scholarship Award. Pivotal to this dissertation, of course, are the 14 lesbian and gay college and university students who told their sometimes painful tales so that educators might hear, learn, and know what it is like to be a gay student in Texas. I will forever hear the echoes of their voices. Lastly, thanks to Victor Shea for his courageous letter to the editor and to whom this dissertation is dedicated.

No subsequent modifications were made. ISSUE 1 — FORM 4797 INTRODUCTION When taxpayers sell assets used in their trade or business, they record the sale on Form 4797, Sales of Business Property. The form is designed to sort assets by type and to allow the recapture of depreciation and IRC §179 deduc- tions. Ultimately, the sales are sorted into capital gains and losses, and ordinary income. The capital gains and losses transfer to Schedule D, and the ordinary income from depreciation recapture is reported on line 14 of Form 1040. There are three advantages to reporting sales on Form 4797: 1. Normally, the gains avoid being taxed for self-employment tax. 2. A portion of the gain may be eligible for capital gain treatment and taxed at a lower rate. 3. Losses from the sale of the business assets are fully deductible as ordinary losses. Form 4797 is used to report the sale or exchange of: 1. Depreciable or amortizable property; 2. Oil, gas, geothermal, or other mineral property; and 3. IRC §126 property. Other transactions reported on Form 4797 include: 1. Involuntary conversion (from other than a casualty or theft) of property used in a trade or business, 2.

  • Roads to Zion Hip Hop’S Search for the City Yet to Come
    5 Roads to Zion Hip Hop’s Search for the City Yet to Come No place to live in, no Zion See that’s forbidden, we fryin’ —Kendrick Lamar, “Heaven and Hell” (2010) The sense of the end-times and last days must be entered in order to find the creative imagination that can reveal paths of survival and threads of renewal as chaos winds its wicked way back to cosmos again. —Michael Meade Robin D. G. Kelley, in his book Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, argues that Exodus served as the key political and moral compass for African Americans during the antebellum era and after the Civil War.1 Exodus gave people a critical language for understanding the racist state they lived in and how to build a new nation. Exodus signified new beginnings, black self-determination, and black autonomy. Marcus Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement represented a pow- erful manifestation of this vision of Exodus to Zion. He even purchased the Black Star shipping line in order to transport goods and people back to their African motherlands. Though Garvey’s Black Star Line made only a few voyages, it has remained a powerful symbol of the longing for home. As the dream of Exodus faded, Zion has become the more central metaphor of freedom and homecoming in contemporary black cultural expressions. Along these lines, Emily Raboteau—reggae head and daughter of the re- nowned historian of African American religion Albert J. Raboteau—explores Zion as a place that black people have yearned to be in her book, Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora.2 In her wanderings through Jamaica, Ethiopia, Ghana, and the American South and her conversations with Rastafarians and African Hebrew Israelites, Evangelicals, Ethiopian Jews, and Ka- trina transplants, one truth emerges: there are many roads to Zion.

MMP is a Philadelphia-based organization that emerged in 2005 from a multi-pronged program of media production, political education, and movement building work. They expanded their budget and paid staff with BTOP funding streams that were made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (also known as the Stimulus Act), during the economic crisis. As an institutional ethnography, this project explored multiple forms of social organization and accompanying practices involved in providing public access to technology that MMP took up in their everyday work.
