Rights at Risk in Wartime
The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, stunned the nation. As commander-in-chief, President George W. Bush responded quickly but soon all three branches of government would be embroiled in the struggle to balance national security with the protection of individual liberties amid a war on terror. This lesson plan is based on the Annenberg Classroom video "Habeas Corpus: The Guantanamo Cases." The four cases are examples of how the Supreme Court, the president and Congress fought to balance national security and civil liberties during the war on terror. At the heart of each case was the constitutional right of habeas corpus, the right to have one's detention or imprisonment reviewed in court.

The materials in this curriculum are designed to enhance the Institute's Senate Immersion Module (SIM) experience, but can also be used separately. The SIM program is an educational, role-playing experience, developed to engage new generations of Americans. The Institute encourages classroom preparation for the SIM, active play at the Institute, and debriefing at the end of the experience.

When National Security Trumps Individual Rights
On December 18, 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down one of its most controversial decisions when it upheld the government's decision to intern all persons of Japanese ancestry (both alien and nonalien) on the grounds of national security. Over two-thirds of the Japanese in America were citizens and the internment took away their constitutional rights. In this lesson, students evaluate the consequences of past events and decisions related to the Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States (1944). They consider the challenges involved when trying to balance civil liberties and national security during threatening times and reflect on the lessons learned about civil liberties from the justices in the Korematsu case.

A Conversation on the Importance of the Japanese Internment Cases
Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy discuss two landmark cases, Korematsu v. U.S. and Hirabayashi v. U.S. , in which the Supreme Court tried to strike a balance between individual rights and national security during wartime. The cases stem from President Franklin Roosevelt's 1942 executive order that mandated the relocation of Japanese and Japanese Americans to internment camps. This video complements the documentary Korematsu and Civil Liberties.

Detaining U.S. Citizens as Enemy Combatants
This unit gives an overview of some of the issues relating to enemy combatants. It reviews some of the powers of Presidents during wartime, the rights of citizens here in the United States, and the ways the U.S. Supreme Court has tried to balance individual freedoms with national defense. And it presents a discussion model called "structured academic controversy" for exploring the facts, arguments, and options surrounding these issues.

Lincoln and the "Writ of Liberty"
The actual right of habeas corpus is not stated anywhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The authors of these documents apparently believed that habeas corpus was such a fundamental liberty that it needed no further guarantee in writing. The only mention of the writ of habeas corpus in the Constitution relates to when it can be taken away from judges. On September 24, 1862, Lincoln issued a proclamation unprecedented in American history. He suspended the writ of liberty everywhere in the United States.

Q: What is the Difference between global temp table and local temp table in SYBASE ASE 15 What is the Difference between global temp table and local temp table SYBASE ASE 15 ?
And how both would behave when access multiple time from java with different thread/connection/db method invocation ?
Global temp table's starts with ## and local temp table.s name starts with #.
Did not find any good resource to study.
Can anybody clarify ?

A: From my recollection of temporary tables in Sybase ASE, there are two types though I don't recall them being referred to as "Global" and "Local".
Session specific temporary tables are the ones named with a "hash" or "pound sign", #. Such as #foo.
create table #foo (
    id    int  not null,
    value varchar(255) not null)
go

Permanent temporary tables created and remain in your temporary database until they are dropped or the Sybase ASE instance is restarted. The tables are stored in the model database, they will be created on restart as well, but they will also appear in a any newly created databases too.
Permanent temporary tables are named similarly to tables in any other user defined database. They do not have the leading #.
use tempdb
go
create table foo (
    id    int  not null,
    value varchar(255) not null)
go

Arithmetic operators are used for Numeric calculations (or) Arithmetic Calculations.
When we are using + and – symbols it may Binary operators and Unary Operators. It is depends on Number of Operands.because we have unary + , – Operators and Binary + , – Operators.
unary operators are used for representing sign of operand.
+a —-> a is Positive value.
-b —-> b is Negative value.
If we didn't specify any sign before the any Number it is considered as Positive Number.
These operators are need two operands.
Binary plus is used for addition.
Binary minus is used for Subtraction.
It is used to perform Arithmetic Multiplication between given Operands.
It is also a Binary operator.
It is used to perform the division between two operands and it gives the Coefficient as Result.
It is also Binary Operator.
It is used for perform modulus operation it gives remainder as Result.
we can not apply modulus operator on Floating point data. It is only for Integers.
All Arithmetic Operators are Binary Operators that means it needs two Operands to perform any operation.
Unary plus and Minus are Different from Binary plus(Addition Operator) and Binary minus(subtraction Operator).
If we have more than one Operator in an Expression we need to follow Priority of Operators and Associativity of Operators.Operators with moretan one Operators are explained in the following post.

SUMA Gets Back to Its Roots with Kate Starling's "Study of Scale"
By Shawn Rossiter on June 22, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
"Dirty Devil River," 20″ x 24″
Audience tastes evolve, institutional needs change. Which is why museums can find it difficult to always hew closely to the visions of their founders or the intentions of their donors. When it opened in 2016, the Southern Utah Museum of Art honored, as its inspiration, Jimmie Jones, a local boy who had made a solid reputation painting the landscapes of southwestern Utah. They even named a gallery (well, really one wall in the initially undivided space) after him. Since then, the institution has been finding its way, staging a variety of exhibitions, including two noteworthy ones in 2019 — James Surl's solo sculpture show and a group exhibition of works by Korean and Korean-American artists. With their current one-artist exhibit, Kate Starling: A Study of Scale, the museum has returned to its roots, with an artist close in spirit and place to the late Jimmie Jones.
For more than two decades, Starling has made her home in Rockville, the small town south of Zion National Park where Jones built his own house. A former geologist and park ranger, Starling has always spent a notable amount of time outdoors, and for several decades she has been capturing many of the same scenes near her home that attracted Jones — from the impressive canyons and buttes of the Southwest to higher, greener altitudes, where the last vestiges of glaciers can be glimpsed. This exhibit features nearly three dozen of her works, mostly from the past three years, ranging in size from small oil sketches to large studio paintings.
"Autumn River," 10″ x 12″
Starling approaches the landscape with a feathery touch, concentrating more on light than mass. She has said that she goes out twice a day to paint, in the morning and again in the evening. "Each painting is partly a depiction of the relationship of color and light and partly a record of the experience," she said in 2002. Several pairs of paintings demonstrate her working method — a small en plein-air painting next to a related, larger studio painting.
The exhibition's title suggests an attention to scale, something that is relatively common to painters of the West, where canyon walls can dwarf a spectator and a dramatic cloudburst can render a distant bluff inconsequential. The paintings are, for the most part, scenic and straightforward — scenes based on standard fore-, middle- and background, full of fields and mountains and colorful cliffs, each worthy of a place in a calendar. Spicing up this repertoire of classic scenes are a few paintings that approach composition from more inventive angles — the shadows cutting diagonals across a canyon of the Virgin River, the pale rocks of a dry riverbed playing off a slope of smoothed sandstone, or the unique play of light and line in an alpine scene featuring a white sandbar.
"Cataract," 72″ x 80″
In several large-scale paintings, Starling changes the sense of scale considerably, bringing us into tight focus against redrock cliffs so that there is almost no sense of depth in the painting. Except for the splash of color from a tenacious desert bloom, her palette here is dominated by browns and earthy reds, though a close examination reveals a wide range of color in this reduced palette, resulting in the dynamic brilliance of her paintings.
A standout painting in the exhibition uses a similar close-up strategy, though of a more fertile scene. An apple tree is seen close up, the bare branches spreading across the backdrop of an evening sky like a spider web, while the unplucked fruit is caressed by the light of waning day. It is as every bit as stunning as any of the depictions of more dramatic landscapes. Living, as we do, in a state where majestic scenery is almost an everyday occurrence, this attention to what light can do in more mundane circumstances is a reminder that the artist's job is to look closely, and well.

US Open 2018: Outright and two-balls advice for Moving Day
June 17, 2018 02:20·
Woods hit just nine of 14 fairways as he struggled on the back nine to grind out a score
"Our wave of tee times was significantly easier, and it shows how impressive Dustin Johnson is playing because he played in much more hard conditions and he's beating everybody by a lot", Mickelson said after his round, referring to the sunnier conditions over in the afternoon.
Phil Mickelson reacts to a shot from the fescue on the fifth hole during Saturday's third round of the U.S. Open. "If I try my best, and wherever I end up it's just going to be great now". He had four consecutive bogeys before parring the 12th, despite the serenading of "Happy Birthday" from the crowds at every hole.
But former world No.1 Day wasn't the only casualty on a disastrous first round for many of golf's big names, with play expected to worsen as the afternoon groups face even stronger winds.
The incident overshadowed the 66 from Daniel Berger which gave the chasing pack hope of catching leader Dustin Johnson at Shinnecock Hills.
"I played well", Lumsden said afterward. Only five strokes separate the next 33 players, including numerous major champions and frontline contenders.
Johnson was the only player under par - 4-under 136 - and led by four shots over Scott Piercy and Charley Hoffman. "I didn't putt well, didn't chip well", Mickelson said. This marked his first U.S. Open since 2015. Daly would make an 11 (after the two-shot penalty) on that par-4 eighth on his way to a final-round 13-over 83.
"I didn't putt well today", he said.
Ian Poulter was one shot out of the lead and in the middle of the fairway with two holes to go when one bad shot led to a few more that were even worse - a bunker shot over the green, a chunk into the hay, a chop short of the green and a triple bogey on No. 8.

"I never want to make doubles, " Johnson said. So if I can putt like I did at the beginning of the year we've got something. Equally though, just one costly mistake from Dustin Johnson could set up a mouthwatering finale to this championship.

Hometown Heroes to be honored at Fall Festival
Posted on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 10:58 am
At long last, October is here, and with it, comes the Montross Fall Festival! Montross Town Manager Patricia Lewis and the Fall Festival Committee are still hard at work making sure that the celebration will be memorable for all the right reasons. In an update to the Town Council at its September meeting, Montross Town Manager, Patricia Lewis, revealed that she and the Fall Festival Committee were still hard at work, and would be making signage on October 3.
"Wow. That is cutting it close," Montross Vice Mayor Terry Cosgrove commented after noting the scheduled work session. The Fall Festival Committee had already had another meeting a few nights before the Town Council meeting.
"It's going to be a work session," explained Lewis. "We're going to be making signs; it's going to be a grand event. There are over 175 invitations, and phone calls every day," she continued. According to Lewis, she has been getting quite a lot of phone calls and feedback about inviting veterans. This year's Fall Festival aims to deliver a giant "thank you" to the county's military veterans, both active and retired, by having them be the Grand Marshals in the Fall Festival Parade.
The festivities start on Thursday with Skate Night at Stan's Skateland. The party continues on Friday night with the final First Friday of the year. While the Westmoreland Volunteer Fire Department has a chili cook off, the Hard To Tell Band will provide the music in the Green Space.
Saturday's festival events begin at 10 a.m., while the parade itself kicks off at 2 that afternoon, going all the way through Montross up to the Seven-Eleven. In the time between those two, there will be all manner of activities, ranging from carrot cake baking contests to scavenger hunts, exhibits at the Historic Courthouse, and the display of a quilt by Pam Walsh at the County Museum. For those that are not too keen on the idea of walking from one end of Montross to the other, shuttle buses are going to be rolling to and fro.

Melbourne Renegades Partner with FAL Healthy Beverages
Big Bash League (BBL) Melbourne Renegades has today announced a two-year sponsorship deal with FAL Healthy Beverages.
FAL Healthy Beverages will become the club's new Major Partner for BBL|04-05 and will promote its coconut beverage brand, Coco Joy via prominent placement on all Renegades playing jerseys and pants for the next two seasons.
The partnership with FAL is one of several major deals inked by the Melbourne Renegades during the KFC T20 Big Bash League off-season. On-field, new player signings Matthew Wade, Callum Ferguson and Jesse Ryder will don the red in BBL|04 to provide additional fire-power to the Renegades' batting line-up.
Melbourne Renegades Chief Executive Stuart Coventry said the FAL partnership was the first of several commercial announcements to be rolled out during the next few months. "We're delighted to partner with FAL Healthy Beverages, and look forward to the playing group getting plenty of Coco Joy pure Coconut Water into their hands this summer," Coventry said. "Coco Joy is an innovative brand, emphasising healthy living, sharing the same core brand values as the Renegades."
"We've experienced unprecedented commercial interest from prospective partners during the off-season, and expect to finalise terms with several of these before BBL|04 hits off."
"This provides a solid financial foundation for the club to continue offering its members and supporters the best match night experience in the league, bar none."
"We're determined to maintain our status as the benchmark of the competition for match entertainment, and to this end we are working with FAL and other partners to ensure we have plenty of excitement planned for Etihad Stadium in BBL|04."
FAL Healthy Beverages CEO Tim Xenos said, "We are excited to be partnering with the Melbourne Renegades for the next two seasons, it is the perfect platform for us to showcase the Coco Joy brand to the Australian market.
"We know how much consumers today value their health and wellbeing, and this partnership underpins the core beliefs of the Coco Joy brand; which is to support an active and healthy lifestyle.
"Coco Joy coconut water is the healthy alternative compared with other drinks brands and is the perfect thirst quencher for a scorching Aussie summer.
"It is nature's ultimate hydration solution, containing higher levels of potassium, fewer calories and less sodium when compared to a typical sports drink. "This assists with recovery after a work-out, competition, or an active day.
"With no added sugar and no preservatives, Coco Joy is the perfect drink for people who are interested in maintaining their wellbeing all year round."
The family of FAL all-natural products includes Coco Joy coconut water, juices, ice cream, desserts, and an array of healthy kids' beverages.


The distance between Wall Street and Belmont Boulevard shortened considerably with the recent launch of Belmont University's new "trading room" in the Jack C. Massey Business Center. In keeping with Belmont's philosophy of giving students real-world experiences, the new center goes far beyond any chalkboard and textbook study of stock trading. … Belmont students will not just be learning about investments and portfolio management, they will be practicing critical thinking skills and problem-solving strategies within a framework of ethical business decision-making.

American Bar Association Adopts Standards for Corporate Monitors
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that last month (August 2015), the ABA House of Delegates approved Standards for Corporate Monitors. These "black letter" standards will be published with commentary in ABA Standards for Monitors, 4th ed., ©2015 American Bar Association.
This work originally began with an Ad-Hoc Task Force on Corporate Monitor Standards, that was assembled by the Criminal Justice Section (CJS) of the American Bar Association (ABA) in 2010. In late 2013, after over two years of study on the topic, the Ad-Hoc Task Force was disbanded and a formal Standards Committee designated to develop the Standards. I had the privilege of serving on both the Ad-Hoc Task Force and the Standards Committee, which delivered our product to the CJS in August of 2014. After two readings before the CJS Council, these Standards were passed by the CJS Council in April 2015 and presented to and approved by the ABA House of Delegates in August 2015.
Though they presently lack commentary, they are the only official set of Standards currently applicable to lawyers who serve in the role of an Independent Corporate Monitor. The Standards define a Monitor broadly, as a person or entity:
Engaged by a Host Organization pursuant to a Court Order or an Agreement and Engagement Letter;
Who is independent of both the Host Organization and the Government;
Whose selection is approved by the Government or ordered by a court; and
Whose responsibilities and authority are established by Court Order or by the terms of the Agreement and the Engagement Letter.
Recognizing that Monitors are used and/or contemplated beyond the DOJ Monitors whom many have come to be familiar with, we drafted these Standards broadly (see the definition within the Standards of "Government"). For instance, the World Bank and Suspension & Debarment Offices have routinely used Monitors for years and we wanted to ensure that our Standards incorporated best practices sufficiently broad so as to include the many Monitorships that occur outside of DOJ. In addition to the issues that have brought public attention/criticism to this practice, such as the selection process for Monitors, we devised and deliberated on a host of other issues affecting the practice and, where it was appropriate, devised Standards to address them.
One of the first steps taken during the Ad-Hoc Task Force's work, was to open communication channels with a variety of government law and regulatory enforcement agencies, as well as other oversight organizations, who were using or considering the use of Monitors. The purpose was to ensure that the concerns of such agencies and oversight organizations were considered as we developed these Standards. The Standards Committee also included representatives of the DOJ and State AG Offices to further ensure that relevant concerns and issues would be considered.
I am humbled to have been included among such a distinguished group of professionals who comprised our Committee and very proud of the Standards that we created, which I believe to be robust, comprehensive, and thorough. Given how eager the various agencies and oversight organizations were to share their concerns with us, I am certain these Standards will have a significant impact on future Monitorships.
I must caution readers that the "black letter" Standards can, at points, be difficult to fully appreciate absent commentary, which may not be available for quite some time. If anyone has a question about what our Committee was thinking associated with any of the "black letter" Standards, please email me at JHanson@ArtificeForensic or call me at (202) 590-7702 and I would be happy to provide my personal opinions/thoughts (I speak only for myself and not the Committee, ABA, or CJS).
It should also be noted that these Standards only technically apply to attorneys. Many Monitors are not attorneys (myself included). It is hoped that they will nonetheless be broadly construed as "best practices" for anyone serving as a Monitor. Towards those ends, the International Association of Independent Corporate Monitors (IAICM) was formed in 2015. The IAICM is a 501(C)6 not-for-profit Membership organization serving those who practice in this field and is presently developing a Code of Professional Conduct that will establish Standards for its members. The IAICM's Code, though consistent with the ABA Standards, may cover additional areas and/or delve more deeply into some areas than the Standards. The IAICM Code, together with the Standards, should be more than sufficient to establish best practices for Monitors, regardless of their professional designations/experiences/certifications/licenses.
The IAICM, though legally formed and anticipated by many government and oversight organizations that use Monitors, has not yet made its website publicly accessible – but be on the lookout for it soon!

RI polio roteract
When they crossed the finish line in central Paris on 7 July, Harman and Ward had raised an estimated $50,000 for End Polio Now.
On 2 June 2019, Lee Harman and Bill Ward set off from the Great Wall of China outside Beijing. Their destination, the Place Vendôme in Paris, lay 9,779 bumpy, muddy, dusty miles away. Their vehicle: a car built before either of them was born. This was Day 1 of the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, also known as P2P, a classic car rally that re-creates a 1907 race famed as one of the first automobile endurance events.
Harman and Ward's P2P story began at a 2016 Christmas party of Morgan Owners Group Northwest — a club for enthusiasts of classic cars made by England's Morgan Motor Co. After a couple of fellow "Morganeers" discussed their own experience doing P2P, Harman and Ward were captivated. Harman, a longtime member of the Rotary Club of Arlington, Washington, suggested doing the rally to raise money for polio eradication. "I'm a physician, and I've been involved with PolioPlus since I was a brand-new Rotarian," he says.
There was just one problem: "We didn't have a car between us that was appropriate for that kind of exercise," says Ward, a retired U.S. Army field artillery officer who worked for the Washington state government. After much searching, they found a beauty: a 1931 Ford Model A Victoria — which they dubbed "Miss Vicky" — that already had some of the safety upgrades necessary for their epic journey. But there was much more tinkering to come.
Over the next two years, Harman and Ward made 54 major modifications to Miss Vicky. "The car was pretty much totally rebuilt with new parts or new pieces, including auxiliary fuel tanks and fuel systems and on and on and on," Harman says. The original suspension got extra attention and replacement parts.
To verify that Miss Vicky could handle traversing Asia and Europe, Harman and Ward took it for what Ward called a "shakedown cruise" — a nautical term for a performance test of a ship. In 2018, they drove from Washington state to Toronto for the Rotary International Convention. "We went all the way up Pikes Peak and back to prove the car was ready," Harman says.
Car guys like Harman and Ward know what it takes to drive long distances. Harman's road warrior mentality even applies to other modes of transportation: He has flown a plane from London to Brisbane, Australia, and ridden a motorcycle from Kyiv, Ukraine, to Italy. But P2P isn't like other long-distance travel. In fact, it's not even a race — it's a rally. In this kind of competition, the goal each day is not to arrive first; it's to arrive at a specific location at a precise time. If a car arrives before or after its designated time, the team loses points, and at the end, the team with the fewest deductions wins. "If you show up early, it means you were speeding, and you get deducted a lot of points," Harman says. "If you show up on time, you get deducted no points. If you show up late, you get deducted points, but not as many as if you show up early. By the third week we had 4,000 demerits, but we were still fourth in our subgroup and 18th out of 31 in our group of vintage automobiles. We didn't do badly for novices."
Another difference between road-tripping and rallying is the role of the passenger. In a rally, the person in the passenger seat is in charge of more than music and snacks — he or she is the navigator, a vital role. Each P2P team is given a tour book with detailed instructions that are accurate to the hundredth of a kilometer. "To get from point A to point B, there might be 300 or 400 instructions per day," Harman says.
"We never failed to get lost going into a city or coming out of a city, because in most places we couldn't read the road signs and the instructions were very tight," Ward says. "You're doing 35 miles an hour in traffic on a four-lane street. If you're supposed to be in the left lane to turn but you're not, you've got to backtrack and come back around. Those kinds of things keep you pretty busy."
Breakdowns are also inevitable when you push an antique automobile to its limits. Along the route — which ran from China through Mongolia, Siberian Russia, Kazakhstan, back into Russia, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France — Harman and Ward had to make plenty of roadside repairs. There was a dramatic tire blowout, two ruptured hydraulic brake lines, a blown head gasket, a tailpipe that fell off. Outside Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, the team was on a highway when it hit a speed bump at the bottom of a hill and caught air. "But it wasn't the first speed bump that got us," Harman says. "That speed bump launched us into a second speed bump. It was like skiing moguls. We came crashing down. The metal part of the Model A is attached to a wooden subframe, which we broke. The doors wouldn't close until we got it fixed."
But for all the rough roads, most of the accommodations were surprisingly high-end — organizers put up the teams in luxury hotels. "One of the most luxurious places we stayed was in Erenhot, China," Harman says. "It was absolutely amazing." In the middle of Mongolia, hundreds of miles from any large town, the P2P participants camped out. Yet even here, teams enjoyed catered meals and bottles of fine wine at their campsites.
That was also the country that the two friends found most captivating. "Mongolia has magnificent scenery," Ward says. Harman agrees: "It's best described as what Montana must have looked like 150 years ago — no fencing, desolate and beautiful, just gorgeous."
After 36 days, Miss Vicky crossed the finish line in central Paris on 7 July. Harman and Ward had raised an estimated $50,000 for End Polio Now, and they had accomplished their two other goals: "One, arrive in Paris having driven the whole route by ourselves under our own power," Harman says. "There were 106 entrants: 103 made it to Paris, 21 under their own power who had never been towed or had ignominiously ridden on the back of a flatbed truck. Vicky was one of the 21."

Fernando Niño y Zapata (Toledo, ? - ídem, 16 de setembre de 1552) va ser un religiós castellà. Fou president de la Cancelleria de Granada i arquebisbe de la mateixa ciutat, patriarca de les Índies Occidentals, bisbe de Sigüenza i president del Consell de Castella.

Nascut a Toledo, fou el segon fill de Juan Niño, fill segon dels senyors d'Añover de Tajo, y d'Aldonza Zapata. Fou ardiaca de Sepúlveda (Segòvia) i inquisidor, càrrec que és conegut per la carta que l'emperador Carles V va dirigir al capítol d'Orense perquè admetessin a Niño com a bisbe d'Ourense, càrrec del qual prengué possessió el 5 d'octubre de 1539, a través del llicenciat Gabriel Martínez, que després seria provisor de Niño a la diòcesi. D'altra banda, l'emperador l va tenir en alta estima per les seves qualitats i els seus coneixements, i el nomenà president de la Cancelleria de Granada i, a més, el feu arquebisbe de Granada, va prendre possessió el 12 de maig de 1542 i governà l'arxidiòcesi durant cinc anys. D'aquests càrrecs fou promogut a patriarca de les Índies Occidentals, fou nomenat bisbe de Sigüenza, prenent possessió l'11 de novembre de 1546, i president del Consell de Castella.

Va morir a Toledo el 16 de setembre de 1552, sent president del Consell de Castella. Fou testamentari el seu nebot Rodrigo Niño, resident a la mateixa ciutat. Manà ser enterrat a la catedral de Sigüenza, desig que es va complir quan fou sepultat definitivament allà el maig de 1558.

17of17George Lucas wanted to build new cultural arts museum in the Presidio.
Now that George Lucas has selected Chicago as the preferred home of his still-vague "museum of narrative art," Mayor Ed Lee is painting the Presidio Trust as the culprit who chased the "Star Wars" creator out of town.
Not a chance. The real culprit - at least in the final months of competition between two compelling cities - is a political culture that views our landscape and waterfront only through a political lens. Instead of planning ahead, City Hall of late has pinned its hopes on one overhyped project after another.
While Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel methodically assembled a well-connected task force to explore sites within his city that might captivate the billionaire filmmaker, Lee made no public gesture in Lucas' direction until early May. That's two months after the trust decided that neither Lucas nor his competitors should be awarded a scenic setting across from the marsh at Crissy Field.
As for the offer to Lucas of a 2.3-acre parcel of land across the Embarcadero from Piers 30-32, it was made in a letter from Lee on May 29 - two weeks after Emanuel's committee released its 56-page report analyzing 57 sites before recommending 17 acres on Lake Michigan.

Chicago beats out S.F. for George Lucas' museum
Lee had been in the Lucas camp from the start, signing a letter that was included with Lucas' formal proposal to the trust last September. But in the high-voltage tug-of-war that followed, the mayor was nowhere to be seen - Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi were the politicians who kept pushing in Lucas' behalf.
Lee's plea a bit tardy
In fact, Lee didn't start making a play for the Lucas museum until a week after a call for civic action appeared in The Chronicle from former Secretary of State George Shultz and his wife, Charlotte Mailliard Shultz, the city's chief of protocol.
"The mayor of Chicago is working hard to bring the Lucas museum to his city, so we need to settle the issue promptly in our favor," said their April 25 letter. "So instead of unnecessary discussion and uncertainty, let's get on with it and welcome the museum here."
Two days later, former Mayor Willie Brown raised the ante in his Chronicle column - saying the collection of vintage art and digital animation would be ideal on Piers 30-32 as "a tourist magnet and a great addition to the waterfront."
Only then did Lee's inner circle realize the genial mayor was being outflanked by "Rahmbo," the latest in a line of Chicago politicians who understand the need to make things to happen rather than wait to see what falls in your lap.
Suddenly there were Lee's letters to Lucas and a birthday phone call. A full-page newspaper ad and a banner at City Hall.
The sense of political opportunism extended to the site offered to Lucas on May 29: a parking lot just south of the Bay Bridge that had been part of the proposed Warriors' arena complex. The basketball team shifted its sights to Mission Bay in April and left behind a void. Who better to help fill it than a retired visionary who had been eager at the Presidio to spend $700 million to build and endow a personal museum?
Gloating in Chicago
Now, Chicago power brokers are gloating and Lee and his supporters are in spin control mode.
The mayor issued a statement after Lucas' decision in favor of Chicago was made public Tuesday complaining that the trust, by thwarting Lucas' desire for Crissy Field, "put San Francisco's chance at landing the museum in jeopardy." Investor Ron Conway, tech's self-appointed voice at City Hall, fumed that the Presidio Trust "kept the Lucas Museum from being built in San Francisco, despite the valiant efforts of a diverse group of city leaders to keep it here."
Feinstein went even further in a statement released Wednesday - not only complaining about "how George Lucas has been treated by the Presidio Trust Board" but stating, "I hope this incident leads to a thorough review and overhaul of the procedures used by the Trust."
Here's the catch, everyone: The Presidio isn't just a scenic nook within the boundaries of San Francisco. It is part of the National Park Service. It is a National Historic Landmark District. The trust's board is appointed to oversee an American treasure, not a local jobs incubator.
And when Lucas was asked by the trust to respond to specific site-related concerns, such as the height, his team responded in barely perceptible ways.
It might be inevitable that Lucas is headed to Chicago in the wake of the Presidio rebuff. But San Francisco's chances would have been better if Lee et al had turned their charms on Lucas right away.
Long-range bayside plan
In the wake of Chicago's coup, and the recent decision by voters to require an election whenever there is a desire to raise height limits on land owned by the Port of San Francisco, the city does not need any more finger-pointing. It needs a proactive, long-range bayside plan that balances history and tradition with such 21st century realities as sea level rise and emerging potential of active urban mixed-use waterfronts.
If this happens, City Hall won't be stuck hoping that yet another billionaire shows up with yet another big plan for the most stubborn port-owned sites. Rules will be spelled out in advance - and it's a good bet that smart developers will be waiting in line.
