AbstractThere are several paths of terror at seaports, terminals, inland waterways, and pipelines for entry of persons, materials, and weapons and for access to destroy seaport infrastructure, ships, equipment, and people so as to disrupt economic activity. This research seeks to:
Examine the probability of terror events via these paths and to determine a strategy to create barriers to entry and access, and to ensure the likelihood of these events is near zero.
Identify specific actions taken, and by whom, to accomplish the above objective, considering interacting government levels and public–private partnerships.
Suggest apparent inaction where a probability of terror remains, albeit judged more qualitatively than quantitatively.
The need for secrecy and the reality of erroneous public information complicates the task of researcher and terrorist alike.

There are several paths of terror at seaports, terminals, inland waterways, & pipelines for entry of persons, materials, & weapons & for access to destroy seaport infrastructure, ships, equipment, & people so as to disrupt economic activity. This research seeks to do the following: (1) Examine the probability of terror events via these paths & to determine a strategy to create barriers to entry & access, & to ensure the likelihood of these events is near zero. (2) Identify specific actions taken, & by whom, to accomplish the above objective, considering interacting government levels & public-private partnerships. (3) Suggest apparent inaction where a probability of terror remains, albeit judged more qualitatively than quantitatively. The need for secrecy & the reality of erroneous public information complicates the task of researcher & terrorist alike. 1 Table, 2 Figures, 31 References. Adapted from the source document.

The Review section of Public Works Management & Policy (PWMP ) intends to provide readers with an opportunity to examine the proceedings of professional meetings andthe results of research reports important to public works managers. Reviews capture the essence and insights of these documents and guide the reader to further pursuit of the topics. This review examines a roundtable discussion on innovation for public infrastructure finance conducted at the University of Southern California (USC), Sacramento Center, in December 2000. Coordinated by USC's National Center for Innovations in Public Finance, the Roundtable focused on public/private partnerships andinnovative models andtools for developing and operating infrastructure systems.

Three recent articles inPublic Works Management& Policy (PWMP ) have brought new attention to the question of curricula for the public works/infrastructure (PW/IF) profession. This curriculum renewal is truly welcomed by those who have struggled to establish PW academic programs in the past. Previous graduate programs have regularly failed to attract sufficient PW practitioners or engineering graduates to sustain such an academic field. For the past 5 years, the PW profession has been served byPWMP , which has created a new literature from an emerging cadre of academics and practitioners. The journal's editors believe such scholarship is an essential first step for renewed curricular offerings. This article synthesizes the three curricular initiatives and produces a "pracademic" research agenda to provide substance for PW/IF academic centers of excellence.

Privatization of infrastructure systems has become politically fashionable. This is a story about a California experiment using a public-private partnership to develop and operate a private tollway in the median of State Route 91 in Orange County. The partnership began with apparent success, yet the private partner (California Private Transportation Corporation) soon filed suit against the public partner (the California State Transportation Department, or Caltrans) for violation of the "noncompete clause" of the original agreement. Although an out-of-court settlement agreement was eventually reached, there is still discussion about selling the private assets. In this commentary, privatization concepts are presented, and the following questions are discussed: Can toll and free lanes compete for traffic or "business"? Is the public interest served by a profit-making private tollway? Would a public or nonprofit agency be a better steward of tollway assets?
