Phoronix: Qt Is Now Drawing On Wayland
Last week in Toulouse I learned just how much interest Intel has in Wayland and the active role they are playing in its development. Wayland and related work to bring it up is not limited to just Kristian Høgsberg, who switched from being a Red Hat employee to Intel during Wayland's development, but Jesse Barnes and other Intel OSTC X developers are also contributing to different areas. Jesse Barnes has been working on the Qt support within Wayland and that's hit a new milestone...
can some1 explain me precisely, what wayland exactly is ?
Maybe this article in wikipedia enlightens you...
This is very good news.
I was doubting Intel's interest in Wayland, precisely because they weren't mentioning Qt support, while they are quickly moving to Qt internally.
Wayland is X.org, stripped from everything that's old, the libs and the network protocol and pushes the latest technology, such as KMS, Gallium3D, OpenGL ES, EGL, etc.
It's not, by any means, X11 or 'X12', but just a tiny display server.
It can, however, use X.org's server for Xlib software and client-server computing.
QT and GTK+ are using Xlib, so they must be ported over to Wayland in order to run without the X.org server, which is what is happening now.
Wayland, due to being tiny and clean, is great for embedded devices, which MeeGo targets.
So basically Wayland is the BusyBox equivalent of X.org.
so.. its great news, finally something not bloated?
all what i need is fast response, no redrawing, no flicker, no "cool stuff" like compiz, just be able to work with very low resource consumption and allows to run drivers and fullscreen programs flawless.
someone knows when it will be ready to use? even beta ?
I doubt anytime soon. For now it requires Cairo with GL backend which as far as I've been able to decipher is still not nearly production-ready.
In other words, even if you got a release, you couldn't use it.
i am curious to see which will be the first desktop environment that will run on Wayland

The Village is also now accepting applications for 2011 Summer Camp staff.
December 8, 2010
Baltimore, Md. (IOCC) — The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded $26.4 million to International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) for a program in Lebanon that will improve student achievement, expand after-school programs, provide training for public school teachers and upgrade educational facilities in 600 Lebanese public schools over the next four years. The program is part of a $75 million initiative that will be implemented in 1,400 schools in cooperation with the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education and five other agencies, including the Education Development Center which is managing the entire initiative for USAID.
"For nearly a decade, children have been an important focus of IOCC's efforts in Lebanon in collaboration with the Orthodox Church and the Lebanese Government," said His Eminence Metropolitan Philip (Saliba), Primate of the Antiochian Christian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. "This award validates the efforts we have steadfastly supported and ensures that the essential work of improving conditions for children and others that IOCC has undertaken in the Middle East with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch through its institutions, including the University of Balamand, will continue."
During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Lebanese children were some of the worst affected. Nearly one-third of all civilian deaths and injuries were suffered by children and over half a million children were forced to flee their homes. The conflict also damaged more than 300 schools. IOCC's presence in Lebanon not only led to an immediate humanitarian response for those impacted by the violence, but also led to subsequent IOCC activities in rebuilding damaged schools.
Fr. Josiah Trenham, priest at St. Andrew Orthodox Church of Riverside, California, recently launched a website "dedicated to sharing the sweet teachings and timeless traditions of the early Christian writers." States the site' introduction, "Patristic Nectar Publications is a non-profit California business created to advance the cause of the Orthodox Christian faith by the publication of materials for catechesis designed both for the edification of Orthodox believers and the illumination of a wide array of non-Orthodox inquirers. Our publications are marked by zealous fidelity to the mind of the Orthodox Church as expressed in the writings of the Holy Fathers and produces a wide range of patristic audio books in order to bring the wealth of Sacred Tradition to a generation attuned to listening rather than reading."
At Patristic Nectar Publications, browsers can listen to audio presentations of timely topics such as "An Address on Vainglory and the Proper Upbringing of Children" by St. John Chrysostom, and "The Soul After Death," by St. John Maximovitch of San Francisco. The site also hosts sacred music selections, Fr. Josiah's Arena blog, the Arena podcasts, and information about St. Andrew parish.
St. Nicholas CathedralOn December 4, an article in the esteemed Los Angeles Times featured St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Christian Cathedral, see of His Grace Bishop Joseph. The piece, titled "At 60, a church blends Arabic, English and Spanish," described the Cathedral's outreach into the community of Latino families that live in the parish's neighborhood, and the adaptive liturgical schedule that includes an 8 a.m. Spanish liturgy, followed by the 10 a.m. Arabic and English liturgy.
"We are in this neighborhood, we want to do outreach to our neighbors," Father Michel Najim, Cathedral Dean, explained to the Times reporter. "When you live in a community that has a cultural background, [we] need to open up to other cultures and other denominations."
The article describes how at the Cathedral's Mediterranean festival in June, tacos are sold alongside the traditional Middle Eastern foods of falafel, shawarma and kebabs. About 1,500 families are members at St. Nicholas.

St. Stylianos Books was founded by Lily Parascheva Rowe to publish books she has written with illustrator Roland J Ford. Both attend Holy Cross Antiochian Orthodox Church in Linthicum MD. In looking for children's books for her children, Rowe found that there wasn't much Bible story material available in English to give her children something to return to again and again--without the need for parental revisions or additions in order to make the Bible story books truly Orthodox.
Astounded by the overall lack of material in English for Orthodox children, Lily started writing books which combine elements from iconography and the hymnography of the Church, while interweaving these things with the Traditional narrative of the Church. "The main difference a reader will notice between these books and typical Bible story books is the completion of the narrative," she explains.
St. Vladimir's Seminary's website has announced that the Seminary will be presenting a premiere performance of Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev's moving St. Matthew Passion choral work, which blends the Church's liturgical texts with St. Matthew's Gospel story.
Reports the site, "On Monday, February 7, 2011, St. Vladimir's Seminary will present the U.S. English-language premiere of the piece at 7:30 p.m. at The Church of St. Paul the Apostle, 405 West 59th Street, New York City.
Maestro Carlo Ponti, Jr. will conduct the performance, with The Salomé Chamber Orchestra, famed soloists soprano Mary Mackenzie, mezzo-soprano Ana Mihanovic, and tenor Timothy Parsons, and the New York Virtuoso Singers led by Harold Rosenbaum, under his baton. As a prelude to the season of Great Lent, the composition will convey the Gospel account—using scriptural texts interspersed with texts of the liturgical services of the Orthodox Church that are normally sung during Holy Week—in the forms of music recitative, choruses, fugues, and arias.
The composer, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, who is Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department of External Church Relations and an episcopal member of Board of Trustees of St. Vladimir's Seminary, will also be present at the premiere. His musical expertise and reputation are renowned; he studied composition at Moscow Gnessins School of Music and subsequently at the Moscow State Conservatory. In 1987 he was ordained priest, and since 2002 he has been a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church."

The Psalms have been called the "Hymn Book of the Church" and contain rich and prophetic references to Christ. In this new Ancient Faith Radio podcast, "Let My Prayer Arise," Fr. Wilbur Ellsworth, priest at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Warrenville, Illinois, will be taking listeners through the Psalter to help them make the Psalms the prayer of their hearts. "The Lord's Prayer is the flower and the fruit, of the roots, stalk and stem of the Psalms," says Fr. Ellsworth. "When we pray, we are not alone," he adds. The Psalms, he explains, have three important aspects. First, they are a historical connection to the prayers of God's people. Secondly, the Psalms are Christological--Jesus Himself pointed out that the Psalms spoke of Himself. "They are nothing less than the prayers of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He would have been immersed in these prayers from infancy." Third, the Psalms are liturgical. "In this podcast, we will often reflect on where and how these Psalms are used in the Orthodox liturgy," promises Fr. Wilbur.
"I encourage you to listen with the Psalm text before you. Begin to read, and then, to memorize."

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese has announced that their newest resource, the Orthodox Christian Teen Survival Guide Brochure Series, is now available for free download. Each brochure offers teens the information they need to navigate through tough issues, some facts and statistics, the church's response, Q&A's, and resources for more information. The one-page handouts can be used for starting discussions, youth group gatherings, Sunday School, or even the church bookstore.
Starting in January, a podcast on OCN will supplement these materials. "Our kids today need a sacred image: our adults need to take a role," notes Fr. Christopher Metropulos, Executive Director of Orthodox Christian Network. "It's tough being a parent, one of the most difficult jobs in the world," echoes Fr. Mark Leondis, Director of Youth Ministries for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. Both priests will be hosting the podcast, which will target parents, youth workers, and all those who love teens. The podcast will mirror the online Survival Guide material for youth and help parents use the guide to discuss issues kids are faced with on a daily basis.
St. Augustine, FL – In 2010, the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) sent 119 people on short-term mission teams around the world to offer a living witness to the Orthodox Christian faith through loving service and fellowship.

In as much as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me. (Matt. 25: 40)
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
As we anticipate celebrating God's greatest gift to mankind in the Nativity of our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we greet you once again, and pray that you continue to receive the gifts of His love and His peace.
Christmas is that time of year when we are especially reminded to share our blessings with others in the form of gifts. It becomes an increased blessing when the privilege of giving is extended to provide partial education scholarships to needy children in Lebanon and Palestine.
Because of your generosity in past years through the "Christmas Appeal" of the Children's Relief Fund, we have been able to increase the number of sponsored children from 206 in 2003 to 333 in 2009. Currently, CRF is sponsoring 343 children in Lebanon and 40 in Palestine.
The necessity to continue our work is now more challenging as more and more children are in need of financial assistance (we have some 90 applications of children waiting to be sponsored).
For those of you who are already sponsoring a child, we offer you our most profound thanks and gratitude, and we ask for your continued support. We encourage all the faithful in the Archdiocese to support our cause.
New sponsors are encouraged to open a window of concern by sponsoring an individual needy child at a minimum of $300 annually or making a donation to the general fund. Please print out the application HERE and mail it.

Carol and Paul Swydan present their donation to museum curator Julia Ritter; November 2010.The Antiochian Heritage Museum expresses special thanks to three families who recently presented donations to the Museum's permanent collection:
Carol and Paul Swydan of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts visited the Antiochian Village this past weekend, bringing with them two wooden trays of Arabic lead type, and framed pages from a 1935 issue of the weekly newspaper "Al-Hurriat/The Liberty," which was published in both English and Arabic by Paul's grandfather, Shokri Swydan, in Worcester, Massachusetts. The title of the featured newspaper article reads, "The History of the Church of Antioch – Chapter 3." (See photo.)
This summer, Patricia and Stephan Rudawski of Pflugerville, Texas organized a donation for the museum - a treasure trove of items from the Nahas family heritage, such as books, vestments, photographs and liturgical items which belonged to Patricia's grandfather, V. Rev. Nicholas A. Nahas. The donation includes a beautiful framed Epitaphios, its edges hand-embroidered by his wife, Kh. Anna Nahas circa 1940.
Corgette and John Troutman of Newcastle, Pennsylvania recently brought to the museum items that belonged to Corgette's father, Albert Joseph, of Newcastle, PA, including two sets of elegant Middle Eastern clothing which had been presented to Mr. Joseph by the King of Saudi Arabia, and a small travelling case full of sample Arabic records which he would bring to church picnics so that people could listen to the music, and order their favorite records from him (before the days of the digital download!).
Josephine Katzbach ("Josie"), a parishioner at St. Matthew Orthodox Church in North Royalton, Ohio, has returned from Haiti, where she successfully delivered 2200 flip flops for those in need.
An experience in Haiti was the source for Josie's idea. Months ago while she worked there in a clinic building project, several aid workers had to escort an ill woman from a clinic in town back up the mountain. Struck by her lack of material possessions, Josie literally gave the woman the clothes off her back, with the exception of her flip-flops, the only shoes that would fit Josie's swollen feet. So when she and her friend returned to Chicago, inspiration struck and Josie said, "Hey, I have an idea. Let's do 'flip-flops for Haiti.'"
Josie is no stranger to helping others. She takes food and water to the homeless in Cleveland twice a month with parishioners from St. Matthew's or St. George of Cleveland. A "life-changing experience"– that's how Josie describes her first trip to Haiti. Although the city's poverty and devastation are great, the poverty is even more extreme in the mountains. "They are the poorest of the poor," says Katzbach. The earthquake did not have as much of an effect on them; instead, poverty is a way of life.
On October 26, 2010, St. Matthew's held a fund raiser: "Flip Flops For Haiti All You Can Eat Italian Dinner." All proceeds went to benefit shipping and the distribution of flip flops. Josie's husband Mark and her sister Antonette chaired the affair, and the people of St. Matthew came forward and ate and gave, enabling Josephine to return to Haiti with several thousand shoes. Josie was able to distribute several hundred, while a Catholic priest and nun offered to deliver the remaining shoes to those in need.
St. Anthony Orthodox Church in Bergenfeld, New Jersey is hosting its second annual wine-tasting on Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 7:30PM. Stew Leonard's Wines of Paramus will provide a variety of wine and beer perfect for the holiday season. Appetizers and desserts for the holidays will be paired with Stew Leonard's selections. The charity event is open to the public, and will be held in the church's fellowship hall at 385 Ivy Lane in Bergenfield, NJ. Tickets are $25.00 for tasters and $20.00 for designated drivers and Seniors over 65 years old, or $30.00/$25.00 if ordered after November 13 and at the door.
The evening will begin with the celebration of the Blessing of the Five Loaves or Artoclasia, an ancient prayer and sharing of a traditional and delicious sweet bread, olive oil and wine.
Proceeds will benefit the philanthropic work of the parish and the IOCC (International Orthodox Christian Charities).
The IOCC is the humanitarian aid agency of American Orthodox Christians. Established in 1992, it administers aid according to principles of Orthodox compassion and justice. It continues to work in Mississippi and Louisiana, building homes for people affected by Hurricane Katrina with Habitat for Humanity. It is mobilizing aid for Asia Pacific peoples suffering from typhoon and earthquake disasters. It is helping Uganda's orphans recover from civil war and has been a key player in the aid of Haitian earthquake victims.
Tickets are available at Stew Leonard's Wines, 396 Route 17 North, Paramus, NJ 07653, (201) 649-0882 or by calling St. Anthony's at (201) 568-8840 & Press 7. You can also visit www.StAnthonysorthodox.org.
November 8, 2010
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is working with Philanthropy, the charitable fund of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and local organizations to assess the needs following a moderate 5.3 earthquake that struck central Serbia on November 3 claiming at least two lives and injuring more than fifty people.
The temblor was centered near the city of Kraljevo where it destroyed or damaged buildings and left parts of the city without utility services, according to Interior Ministry of Serbia. The area is 30 miles from institutions where IOCC is implementing projects to assist disabled children and adults. There have been no reports of damage to the facilities, although the residents were shaken by the tremor.
"As we know from the earthquake in Haiti earlier this year, beyond the damage to buildings, loss of life and the immediate physical needs, the psychological effects of the earthquake can be deeply felt," observed Constantine M. Triantafilou, IOCC executive director. "We pray for the families who have been directly impacted by the quake and those who have been traumatized by this disaster."
IOCC and Philanthropy are long-time partners in Serbia and will coordinate their response to the affected areas. The agencies anticipate providing emergency assistance through the provision of food items and are assessing the need for construction materials to repair damaged homes as colder winter weather sets in.
IOCC and Philanthropy are members of the ACT Alliance, a global coalition of churches and agencies engaged in development, humanitarian assistance and advocacy.

A refugee child in Syria learns to write through a program run by IOCC and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch.October 30, 2010
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) The U.S. State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) signed an agreement with International Orthodox Chrisitan Charities (IOCC) to extend assistance to Iraqi refugees living in Syria. The $4.5 million award from PRM, implemented with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East, will provide food assistance, educational support and vocational training for Iraqi refugees and Syrians in communities hosting large numbers of refugees.
IOCC Regional Director, George Antoun, anticipates that the project will provide direct assistance to more than 56,000 people over the next two years.
"The future for many Iraqi refugees remains uncertain," explained Antoun. "Although conditions in Iraq have improved, the situation remains fluid and many refugees are reluctant to return in the absence of stability and security as well as access to clean water, sanitation, electricity and other basic necessities. Others fear for their lives and the lives of their children who cannot safely walk to school."
The program will assist vulnerable Iraqi refugees and underserved Syrians residing in and around Damascus, as well as in Aleppo and Jazirat.
Many Syrians have suffered under the economic burden of inflation which followed the massive influx of Iraqi refugees beginning in 2003. IOCC's program seeks to alleviate part of the hardship by providing vulnerable families with assistance similar to that being offered to the refugees.
WASHINGTON, DC (OCA) - His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, was among some two dozen US religious leaders who met with President Barack Obama here on Monday, November 1, 2010 "to speak for the millions of Americans struggling to find jobs, make their next rent or mortgage payment, and put food on the table," according to a press release issued by the National Council of Churches [NCC].
Also attending the meeting were His Eminence, Archbishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and His Eminence, Archbishop Khajag S. Barsamian of the Armenian Church of America.
While the leaders of both the National Council of Churches and Church World Service, the global humanitarian agency, thanked President Obama for passage of health reform legislation and for his robust engagement with the faith community, they also pressed him "to take a strong stance on behalf of families facing poverty and hunger."
According to Metropolitan Jonah, poverty, education, the Middle East Peace Process, and unemployment were among the other issues discussed at the 45 minute meeting, which took place in the Roosevelt Room of the White House.
"The President warmly received the group of religious leaders, who represent about 45 to 50 million Americans," Metropolitan Jonah said. "The leaders who spoke thanked the President for his leadership in these various issues and pledged to work together with him in the future to further these goals for the betterment of the human condition."
From Byztex Blogspot:
SOUTH CANAAN, PA (OCA) - Archpriest Alexander Atty was formally installed as Dean and Chief Operating Officer of Saint Tikhon's Seminary here on Saturday, October 30, 2010.
His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah and His Grace, Bishop Tikhon of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, the seminary's Rector, concelebrated the formal installation Service of Thanksgiving at Saint Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church, Wilkes-Barre, PA. Father Alexander is the first priest of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese to hold the position, with the blessing of His Eminence, Metropolitan Philip.
In presenting the Dean's pectoral cross to Father Alexander, Metropolitan Jonah expressed his personal joy, not only because of Father Alexander's 30 years of hard work and successful parish ministry, but because of the vision of a united Orthodox Church in North America he possesses.
Prior to his appointment as Dean, Father Alexander served as pastor of one of the nation's largest pan-Orthodox parishes, Saint Michael the Archangel Antiochian Orthodox Church, Louisville, KY. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Philadelphia, a Master of Divinity from Saint Vladimir's Seminary, and a Doctorate in Ministry from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
At the banquet that followed, the hierarchs offered greetings, as did members of the Saint Tikhon's Board of Trustees. Offering greetings on behalf of the faculty and student body of Saint Vladimir's Seminary, Crestwood, NY, was Archpriest John Behr, Dean.
Father Alexander, who officially assumed duties on July 1, 2010, is joined at the seminary by his wife, Khouria Olga, and their two children, Katherine and Alexander.

Fuji is has a strong heritage in the bicycle industry. First established in 1899, the company was named after Mount Fuji. As a Mountain known as a symbol for strength and endurance it sure is no surprise that Fuji has thrived over 100 years later. Just like the mountain, the Fuji bikes that roll off the floor are some of the strongest and well designed bike on the market today.
The SLM is a Carbon Fiber Hardtail 29er. This fierce and responsive bike is certainly worth a second look. The riding trend of Carbon Hardtail 29ers is a forced to be reckoned with. The large 29 inch wheels make quick work of nearly any terrain. The hard tail frame makes the bike quick and snappy. This is a huge plus because large wheels normally make you less responsive but that's not the case with this Carbon hardtail 29er.
The Frame is constructed from C4 Carbon Fiber. The SLM frame features internal cable routing for the ultra sleek and clean look. A tapered headtube is used to add to the stiffness and increase the ride quality and responsiveness of the ride.
Fuji has set the SLM out on the right track with the high quality component group they have selected. The RockShox REBA features a tapered alloy steerer that adds to the stiff properties that make this a responsive ride. In addition, with a flick of a switch you can lock out your fork due to the remote lock out feature. This makes it easy to lock out your suspension in an instant with the use of a remote lever on your handlebar.
Shimano and FSA are big players in the drivetrain business. It makes perfect sense that Fuji would go to great lengths to ensure that this build was outfitted with industry leading components and brands. An FSA Afterburner crankset allows you to power along. This crankset is super stiff and allows for maximum power transfer. Shimano SLX rapid fire shifters control the front and rear Shimano Deore XT derailleurs. This 29 inch Carbon Hardtail is smooth rolling and is able to power through trail with easy. You can't go wrong here!

Order of the Day
At a first glance you may think the topic "Dining with a Conscience" here is all about health foods and how they are environmentally or eco-responsible. Many restaurants today prepare and serve you meals with more awareness in improving the world or societies' health and environment. "Enjoy your meal, but think about what you're doing to your body and the earth" is the concept of this kind of restaurant.
In a region famous for its delectable cuisine, several Southeast Asian restaurants are now also dishing up opportunities for the local community with their socially responsible policies and vocational training programs.
* * *
In Siem Reap, Le Jardin des Delices is the training restaurant of the famous Paul Dubrule Hospitality & Tourism School and was established to provide young, underprivileged Cambodians with an opportunity to train in the skills of the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry.
Delicious Khmer and European fusion cuisine is served on a terrace fronting a lush exotic garden. But the tastiest aspect of all is that while you enjoy the savoir faire of the students, you are also contributing to the sustainability of a vital educational project.
* * *
In just five years, the Hanoi based KOTO (Know One, Teach One) has grown from a small sandwich shop to a 120-seat restaurant and an internationally accredited hospitality program that is breaking the cycle of poverty amongst street and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam.
The young people in the KOTO program study hospitality skills and English, while gaining practical skills working at the KOTO Restaurant. Indeed, KOTO boasts a 100 percent success rate in placing its graduates in their first job in the hospitality industry.
* * *
In Thailand, the popular restaurant chain Cabbages and Condoms was founded by the kingdom's leading philanthropist and former Minister of Health, Mechai Viravaidya, in an effort to make condoms as common - and as accepted - as cabbages.
The food is consistently delicious (and 'guaranteed not to cause pregnancy!') and all proceeds from the restaurants are used to fund the social programs of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), a non-profit organization founded in 1974 by Meechai himself.
* * *
Choosing to eat at socially responsible restaurants such as these can make a big difference to the most vulnerable sectors of the local community. In a region that traditionally suffers from child prostitution and exploitative labor, a socially responsible service industry is now becoming the order of the day.
On your next trip to Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand, why not sample the delicious fare of these restaurants and support their valuable work?

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Part of working for an arts education organization involves being dedicated to community outreach and advocating for the arts. Not just when we have a fund drive or an event, but all the time. Over the past four years, advocating for the arts in our region has been a bit of a roller coaster. There have been terrific accomplishments and missed opportunities. One thing for sure, accomplishments were made through advocacy, and opportunities were missed when voices could not come together for a collective voice, thus allowing community leaders to turn a deaf ear to what could barely be heard.I would like to urge everyone in our region to advocate for the arts for a number of reasons. First and foremost, art is good for our brains and for our souls. Second, art increases the quality of life for everyone who has access to the arts. Third, it is great for our economy. If anyone looks to what Grass Valley and Nevada City have done with their art scene, it is remarkable. The Tahoe Truckee region has so much more to offer visitors than these more inland and less-geographically stunning communities; yet Nevada City and Grass Valley are miles and decades ahead of us when it comes to having a vision and creating a sense of place around the arts.There are a handful of local organizations dedicated to the arts for our community and who have done remarkable work with limited resources. But there is a limit to what these nonprofits can do for our community without the full support and willingness of government leadership to invest in the arts. I am talking about more than a head nod at a meeting. I am talking about real support in dollars and in real commitment by collaborating to create public art (performing and visual) for our community as well as for visitors. Imagine if people had a reason to visit our region during the off-season to eat in our restaurants and stay in our hotels while they enjoy art of all kinds here in the mountains.These are things that other communities have done, and done well. But it was only possible with the support and commitment from their local governments that made this possible. For anyone who followed the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District's Public Art Commission (which disbanded after Measure J did not pass), the town of Truckee was planning to charge TDRPD for parking spaces if a new performing arts center was built downtown.The town of Truckee has the most to gain in positive economic impact by investing in the arts, but it did not show up as a willing partner by offering anything in-kind toward the project. I do not know why this was the case. But this really needs to change, and it can if the community begins attending local government meetings and asking the newly elected officials to seriously consider the importance of including the arts as part of our community's fabric.Local government is made up of dedicated people who are working hard to do what they think is best for our community - but they have a lot to consider, and the arts may not be on their radar. So it is up to you, the voters, to attend meetings and ask local government to include the arts as part of their master plan, not just within written documents but in practice.There are grant dollars available to help make it happen. Simply visit www.NEA.gov to get started on your research. There are towns and cities across the nation taking advantage of all these resources. It is not too late for us, but it is time we gave the arts some serious thought for the good of everyone.Advocacy works - and works well. A great example of advocating for the arts is Tahoe Truckee Unified School District embracing art education beginning this school year thanks to Measure A funding. Our school district leadership understands how badly art has been missing due to No Child Left Behind, so the pendulum on including arts education is swinging back toward the right direction.Maybe this next generation will appreciate the arts because they will have access to art in their classrooms. Maybe they will grow up and advocate for the arts. Or better yet, run for local government to ensure art is part of our community in a meaningful way. Who knows - the possibilities are endless - but not without everyone deciding it matters, and speaking up for art.Raine Howe is executive director of Arts For the Schools.

San Jose Arena II
10 April 2005
San Jose Arena II
I got up and checked out immediately without opening the curtains of my vast, weird, empty room. In the end I decided that simply not engaging with my surroundings was the only way to avoid an unpleasant scene. The final story from Hotel Bizzarro came from Joe, who found himself in a room with a (locked) adjoining door to a huge frat-house party., with medical students getting loose and loud.
Spare us. This went on till 5am and apparently no amount of wall banging made any difference. So, with no further fuss, Joe got up at 7am, put the boom box from his room right up to the adjoining door, found a heavy metal station, cranked the volume to 11 and checked out.
I went down to the venue early and worked on the show for the afternoon. It's extremely helpful to get a bit of peace and quiet in the venue to programme new looks, insert new video sequences, etc. It was a killer show. Oddly the second show in San Jose was also the best show on the Elevation tour, so there must be something about this room and this part of the world that lets it all go off.
Being a former San Francisco resident (SF is less than an hour away from here) I had a fairly extensive guest list. Afterwards, we'd agreed to meet up at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose for a drink. I didn't get there till about an hour after the end of the show and arrived to find the place empty which was strange. I thought the band had done a runner, but it transpired that Edge and Bono were both staying here and that there was a fairly substantial party going on, which explains where my friends had disappeared to.
Everyone was in great humour, of course, and we stayed pretty late. Bono introduced me to Steve Jobs, head of Apple Computer, and Jonathan Ive, the designer responsible for the i-Pod, i-Mac and Powerbook. It was such a treat to meet them - the whole Apple/U2 association has been so smart; both sides feeling that the connection with the other is sufficient reward in itself, so no money changed hands either way. We talked about possible ideas for the future, as I think this association has some mileage in it yet. I was thinking later what must it feel like for Jon Ive, seeing something he designed become so ubiquitous. It's one thing for me to push a button during a show and do something that makes 20,000 people jump up and down, but it must be extraordinary to walk down the street and see your brainchildren on every other corner.

However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.
