This issue of the TRR also examines microsimulator of the household vehicle fleet, multicriterion dynamic user equilibrium model, econometric structures for trip generation models, integrated equilibrium travel demand model with nested logit structure, evaluation method for agent based household microdata sets, and estimating through trip travel. In addition, this TRR addresses incorporating stochastic road capacity into day to day traffic simulation; analytic relationships between travel time reliability measures; network user equilibrium model for scheduling daily activity travel patterns; joint model of participation in nonwork activities and time of day choice set formation; expected travel cost function with uncertain travel time; variability of travel time, users' uncertainty, and trip information; and planning constrained destination choice in activity based models.

Economics of state and local government / by Raimondo, Henry John.(CARDINAL)192832;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-267) and index.The regional economies of the United States -- The federal system in the United States -- The journey from private markets to fiscal Federalism -- State and local government public service responsibilities and expenditures -- Financing public elementary and secondary education -- State and local taxation in a federal system -- Property taxes -- Sales taxes -- Personal income taxes -- Nontax revenues: user charges and gambling revenues -- Spending, taxes, and the distribution of personal income -- Grants-in-aid system.This text draws on research in economics, political science, and policy analysis to show why state and local public finance has assumed such an important role in domestic fiscal policy matters. Traditional topics such as the theories of taxation and intergovernmental grants are combined by Raimondo with numerous overlooked subjects to reveal the dynamic and complex nature of state-local government fiscal behavior. Among the topics discussed are regional economic performance and state-local government finance; state and local taxes on property, sales, and personal income; user charges and gambling revenues; and the beneficiaries of local governments.1250L

The making of a quagmire : America and Vietnam during the Kennedy era / by Halberstam, David.(CARDINAL)139130; Singal, Daniel Joseph,1944-(CARDINAL)161535;
Pulitzer-prize winning author David Halberstam's eyewitness account provides a riveting narrative of how the United States created a major foreign policy disaster for itself in a faraway land it knew little about. In the introduction to this edition, historian Daniel J. Singal supplies crucial background information that was unavailable in the mid-1960s when the book was written. With its numerous firsthand recollections of life in the war zone, The Making of a Quagmire penetrates to the essence of what went wrong in Vietnam. Although its focus is the Kennedy era, its analysis of the blunders and misconceptions of American military and political leaders holds true for the entire war.

Transforming the elite : black students and the desegregation of private schools / by Purdy, Michelle A.,author.(CARDINAL)858936;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-231) and index.The inheritances of a new elite private school -- Contending with change and challenges -- The blurring of public and private -- The fearless firsts -- Courageous navigation."When traditionally white public schools in the South became sites of massive resistance in the wake of the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, numerous white students exited the public system altogether, with parents choosing homeschooling or private segregationist academies. But some historically white elite private schools opted to desegregate. The black students that attended these schools courageously navigated institutional and interpersonal racism, but ultimately emerged as upwardly mobile leaders. 'Transforming the Elite' tells this story. Focusing on the experiences of the first black students to desegregate Atlanta's well-known Westminster Schools and national efforts to diversify private schools, Michelle A. Purdy combines social history with policy analysis"--
