Time to say goodbye
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 31 2013 1:23AM
My mother taught me to be honest, my father taught me to be independent, and my early broadcasting mentors encouraged me to use my writing and voicing skills to do something different on the radio. 42 years ago I began this daily commentary.
Listeners responded when they disagreed, rarely did I hear an "amen" or an "attaboy".
Many have misunderstood me, calling me too liberal at times, too conservative at other times. Few have appreciated my criticism of policies, people, political parties, and human behavior … even when it was offered in an attempt to help.
The words and ideas have been all mine, I've never been comfortable as a parrot.
In today's world,
can be a commentator … regardless of experience, intelligence, or ability to communicate with skill.
I think my work is done. This is the final McIntosh Report. Thanks for listening.

Looking back
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 30 2013 1:19AM
I'm pausing to look back today … on these daily commentaries that have been part of central Kansas radio signals since September 2
, 1971. The McIntosh Report has been heard on K-E-Y-N, K-F-H, K-X-L-K, K-N-S-S … and maybe a couple I've forgotten.
I estimate that I have written and voiced more than 10,000 of these commentaries … never missing the daily deadline. My thoughts have been mine … no one else's … and my independence has upset more than a few listeners who think I ought to only say what they can agree with 100 percent. Rarely have sponsors stepped up to become a lightning rod for those who sometimes-emotionally disagree with my comments.
My peers seem to appreciate The McIntosh Report. It's won the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Editorial/Commentary Award 20 times. It's been on the air in parts of five decades and eight presidencies.
I'm looking back today because time is running out for The McIntosh Report … I can hear the clock ticking.

The Duck controversy
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 27 2013 3:46AM
When reality T-V stars portray themselves as unsophisticated rural duck call manufacturers who are constantly doing strange and often silly things for the camera, and earn millions in process, they generate public attention and even adoration.
I referred to several of the Duck Dynasty stars as "morons" when they went to a pond and tried to create their own redneck water park. Perhaps "morons" was too harsh a word.
Several listeners mistakenly believed I was criticizing head duck caller Phil Robertson for the anti-gay comments he recently made in G-Q magazine. I was not. I apologize for making too quick a transition from the crux of the story to my views on the pond project.
I have defended free speech on the air for more than four decades. Robertson is free to say whatever he pleases, and I don't any opinion about what he said.
I think we should all realize that T-V stars often say things that annoy people. And when they do, their employers have every right to take action.

Having a good Christmas?
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 25 2013 3:45AM
I must confess that Christmas is a bit different when your children have left the nest. I miss the excitement of watching my son and daughter opening those gifts under the tree. They had tried to guess what was in each package for days. We usually stumped them.
Of course, Shelley and I still have four grandchildren in town to celebrate with. Our other three grandchildren are celebrating Christmas in Germany this year.
The true meaning of Christmas to me, is the giving and receiving of the greatest gift of all. Many of us profess so much more pleasure in giving than receiving.
The seasonal shopping drives our economy and I'm grateful for that and supportive of all merchants. But the act of shopping has become a chore for me. I'm thankful that I'm at a point where I only really have to buy something for my bride of 43 years … and that's a pleasure.

Memories of Christmas Eve
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 24 2013 1:28AM
My first memories of Christmas Eve center on the bed I shared with my brother in our airplane bungalow on Spruce Street in Wichita. There were three of us in that bedroom … trying to stay awake and maybe see Santa Claus, chattering excitedly. My oldest brother finally hollered from his room across the hall, "You'd better shut up and go to sleep or Santa will never come". We finally nodded off … but we were awake by 4:30, and patiently waited for mom and dad to rouse.
Flash ahead nearly 20 years when I was helping Santa with the first big gift for my young son. It was a bright red fire truck, the kind with pedals that Scott could operate on our driveway. I pulled the truck from the big box and discovered a couple of small parts missing. I nearly panicked! But my wife calmed me down and we got the thing put together.
Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas Eve.

Kansas volunteers
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 23 2013 1:26AM
Kansas ranks fourth in the nation when it comes to volunteering. Nice to hear at a time of the year when many of those volunteers are plenty busy helping their fellow citizens.
The report comes from the Corporation for National Community Service, the federal agency that helps Americans engage in volunteer activities. The Volunteering and Civic Life in America report says nearly 37 percent of Kansas residents volunteered in 2012. That amounts to nearly 808,000 volunteers giving 82.9 million hours of service. The worth of that service is estimated at about 1.6 billion dollars.
Nationwide, the group found that roughly one in four adults volunteered last year.
I've been doing our station's public affairs program – "Issues 2013" – for about 14 years. The charitable organizations I've featured on the program always talk about their volunteers and how much they help. Many times I have heard the phrase: "We couldn't get along without them".
One more reason to be proud of Wichita and Kansas.

Gauulup survey on health care, Obama performance
by Steve Mcintosh
posted Dec 20 2013 6:21AM
A recent Gallup Poll indicates that Americans' attitudes about the Affordable Care Act have stabilized after bumping up to 55% disapproval in November. The disapproval rate is now 51%, with a 41% approval rating.
Approval of Obamacare stands at 75% among Democrats, 31% for Independents, and 10% among Republicans.
President Obama's job performance disapproval rate is now at 50% … according to Gallup … down one percent from the last survey. The largest declines in the President's approval ratings have come recently among Hispanics, lower-income Americans, nonwhites, and moderates; in other words, Obama's base.
It appears that many Americans actually like the first parts of the A-C-A, aimed mostly at protecting patients. But this latest rollout with all its computer glitches focuses attention on the confusion of the plan itself, and the change it demands from many Americans who were satisfied with what they had.
In that light, the drop in the president's approval numbers is understandable and was probably unavoidable.

Home-grown terrorism
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 19 2013 1:21AM
It doesn't seem possible that a Wichita avionics technician would consider himself some kind of Islamic terrorist and try to explode a big bomb at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport. But that's just what the F-B-I alleges that 58-year-old Terry Lee Loewen intended to do … and to kill himself in the process.
Turns out Loewen was allegedly plotting with F-B-I undercover agents. The public was never in any danger because the F-B-I was controlling the entire misguided effort.
Of course, we saw a home-grown terror attack in Oklahoma City several years ago with a Kansas connection. But when I think of terrorism, I don't often consider Kansas or Wichita in that context.
Authorities were quick to point out the suspect had no actual connection with Islam, and local Islam clerics backed them up. They reportedly never heard of the guy.
Whatever his motivation, it appears the suspect was prepared to go ahead with the plot.
Thanks, investigators, for putting this threat to rest.

Are you sick yet?
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 18 2013 1:23AM
Does the first cold weather snap mean the same thing for you as it does for me; runny nose, cough, maybe even laryngitis? I usually get a flu shot, so flu is not a big concern for me.
My wife has already been hit by some kind of bug that laid her low for more than a week. She never missed work and only began to get better after spending two days on the weekend resting.
Sedgwick County Health Director Claudia Blackburn tells me as of last week only six cases of influenza had been confirmed in the county. She advises that a flu shot takes two weeks to become effective, and this year's shot seems to be very effective on this year's bug.
Blackburn's very concerned about pertussis … whooping cough. You may want to consider immunization. I had whooping cough when I was 16 and I can tell you it's no picnic!

The home plate collision
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 17 2013 1:21AM
Baseball's rules committee has approved a change in the rules … banning home plate collisions in Major League Baseball. It's long been part of baseball, but it occasionally results in some pretty serious injuries. Violating the rule would mean a fine or suspension for players who collide at home plate.
If a runner looks up and sees a catcher completely blocking the plate, what recourse does he have? As a youngster I slid into a catcher's shin guards. Believe me, that doesn't work well. A base runner wears a protective batting helmet. The catcher wears shin guards, a chest protector, and a mask. These devices are made of hard plastic and metal.
It's like a running back wearing shorts and a tee shirt ramming into a fully-equipped linebacker in football.
Still, tougher players will try to run over that catcher full speed.
It's considered part of the game … and it may soon be part of the game's past.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

New name, same great shoe. The Nike Free 5.0+ is a compromise between traditional and minimal, combining lightweight flexibility and impact protection.
For runners looking to break away from the mold of the traditional running shoe, there have been few more popular options than the Nike Free Run. Now called the Nike Free 5.0+, fans will be pleased to find little change waiting in this update.
Nike designed the Free 5.0+ to sit halfway in between a traditional shoe and bare foot. The shoe retains plenty of cushioning underfoot and a soft ride while allowing the foot to do its own thing through the gait cycle. Consider this shoe a more flexible and lighter weight alternative to your everyday trainer, suitable as a daily trainer or as a foot-strengthening tool to supplement your normal shoe regimen.
The one alteration to this Free model is in the upper. The Dynamic Flywire provides a more adaptive midfoot fit, accommodating a greater range of foot shapes. The fit does remain close around the foot, though. Runners with higher volume feet may want to consider sizing up.
"The differences in this update are pretty negligible. If you liked the Free Run+ 3, I'm certain you'll like the Free 5.0+."
"This shoe definitely fits on the snug side. With minimal seams inside, it can easily be worn with our without socks though."
"The Free 5.0+ is pretty versatile – I like it as a tool to build foot strength but it is protective enough to serve as an everyday shoe as well."

Let me first admit, I do not consider myself a seamstress. Yes, I enjoy sewing. I quilt and do various projects requiring a sewing machine, but I have limited experience following patterns and sewing clothing. This tutorial is for you if you have a sewing machine and some practice in sewing. If you can cut and sew straight lines, you're already half way there!
2) Add 3" to the length you measured for your skirt. (So to make my 12" skirt, I will need to cut a 15" length of fabric).
3) Cut your length for the main skirt. First, fold your fabric in half so the salvages match up at the top. Smooth out your fabric, and line your ruler along the bottom fold, as shown in the first picture below. In the second picture below, you will see the ruler is placed and ready to cut the excess fabric from the right side, leaving a straight edge for us to measure from.
I used the grid on my cutting board to count over 15", and lined my ruler to make the final cut, as shown below. Set aside.
4) You will need a number of 1" lengths cut of coordinating fabrics to create the "shabby" look of this skirt. I chose to use 6 strips, in a gradient from darker pink, to light pink, to white. make sure that the lengths you cut are as long as the length of your skirt piece cut above.
Here, you will see I saved some time by stacking each fabric, lining up my ruler to cut the excess on the right, then cut my 1" strips.
And here of my finished strips...
Ok.... so AFTER I'm almost completely finished sewing my skirt together, it dawns on me that, had I cut my strips on a 45 degree angle as opposed to square to the salvages, the finished fray affect would have been much nicer and less stringy! Good grief!
If you think this is important to you, when you are cutting your 1" strips as I show above, you may want to consider another method. Cutting on the bias (45 degree angle to the salvage) will, however, require more fabric to work with. Here is a link that explains a trick to cutting strips on a bias at www.piecefulstitches.com.
Hopefully I have not confused you. If I did, ignore that last little blub, and forget I mentioned it.
5) Take your main skirt length, matching right-sides of the fabric together, sew the two salvaged ends giving yourself at least 1/2" seam allowance. As shown below...
7) Turn each side of the skirt in 1-1/2", pinning in place. One side will become the casing for your elastic, while the other side we will finish for the hem of the skirt.
8) For the hem of the skirt, I folded under about 1/2" of fabric, and carefully sewed along the edge, as shown below. If you aren't confident in your sewing, you may prefer to first pin your hem in place. I'm lazy, and measure and sew as I go.
11) Carefully sew the lower seam for your casing, keeping close to the edge so that you leave enough room for your elastic. Make sure to leave an opening about 2" long, as shown in the second photo below.
14) Time for the elastic! We are almost done. You will need to measure the tummy of whomever this skirt is for.
15) Cut your elastic to that length exactly.
16) Work your elastic through the casing. Add a large safety pin to your elastic if you have one. This will help you move it through the casing.
Working the safety pin and elastic through...
14) Sew the two ends of elastic together. First, make sure your elastic has not twisted in the process! This is very important. Next, overlap your ends about an inch, then sew.
15) Sew the hole you left in the casing. You can see, I'm having to stretch my fabric out a bit since it is already wanting to gather with the elastic in place.
And here is the skirt... all sewing complete!
But we're not done yet!
17) Time to wash and dry your skirt! By doing so, the raw edges of our strips will begin to fray, giving us the "shabby" look we are going for.
Remember a while back when I mentioned the idea that cutting strips on a bias was a good idea? Well, this is where you realize that. If you cut strips as I had, you will find that you have lots of "mess" to trim off of your skirt after washing and drying it. This would virtually be avoided if your strips were cut on the bias. So...
18) If you find your skirt has lots of long, tangled strings after the wash and dry, go ahead and trim to your hearts content. Once you have, your skirt will look something like this...

X-FAB Continued Positive Growth Trajectory in 2007 with Sales Topping USD 400 Million
The X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group today announced its financial results for 2007, recording a large sales increase of approximately 66 percent year over year, the highest yet in its consistently solid growth path trajectory
Sales revenue for 2007 was USD 409.9 million (EUR 299.3 million) compared to USD 246.7 million (EUR 196.6 million) the previous year. X-FAB, which manufactures analog-digital integrated circuits on customer order, continued to experience strong demand for mixed-signal technologies for applications in the automobile, communications and consumer goods sectors.
A major highlight of 2007 was the addition of the Dresden manufacturing facility. X-FAB Dresden has been included in the X-FAB Group's consolidation since April 1, 2007, and contributed sales revenue of USD 44.7 million (EUR 32.6 million) to X-FAB's positive sales performance.
The operating result for 2007 was USD 46.7 million (EUR 34.1 million), an increase of approximately 44 percent over the previous year's USD 32.3 million (EUR 25.7 million). Earnings before tax jumped 65 percent to USD 38.7 million (EUR 28.3 million). Earnings before tax the previous year were USD 23.4 million (EUR 18.6 million).
The company's equity ratio for the fiscal year just ended was approximately 60 percent. The cash flow from operating activities was USD 62.5 million (EUR 45.6 million) compared to USD 32.2 million (EUR 25.7 million) the previous year. X-FAB Group research and development expenditures in 2007 were USD 24.9 (EUR 18.2 million) compared to USD 19.3 million (EUR 15.4 million) in 2006.
Hans-Jürgen Straub, chief executive officer of the X-FAB Group, commented: "X-FAB recorded strong growth, with quarterly sales of more than USD 110 million and annual sales of more than USD 400 million in 2007, topping our previous records. With the addition of two new sites in Kuching (Malaysia) and Dresden (Germany) during the past two years, our focus in 2008 is on internal optimization. We do, however, expect X-FAB to show growth that is above the industry average this year."

Vertical Doors
What are Lambo Doors and How Do They Work?
Lambo or scissor doors are so called because instead of opening out like a traditional car door, they open upward, pivoting at the front of the door just behind the fender, just like the blade of a scissors. Since the kit is a bolt-on installation, with no permanent modifications required, it can always be removed and the vehicle returned to stock if desired.

Known as the 'City of Nawabs', Hyderabad is the 500 year old capital city of Andhra Pradesh. The region is particularly known for its richness in culture and tradition and has recently earned the title of one of the fastest growing IT hubs of India, which is also why sometimes the city is referred to as 'Cyberabad'. The city was originally named Bhagyanagar, after the Sultan's wife, Bhagamathi. Hyderabad is located on the Deccan Plateau which explains why most of its land is rocky in nature. A few places tourists must visit if in the city are Lumbini Park, Ramoji Film City, NTR Garden, Osman Sagar Lake and Mecca Masjid.

Isaac Ingram is just thankful for the opportunity.
The Harrisburg High School senior didn't think that when he walked off the field at Rochester in a IHSA Class 4A state playoff semifinal loss that it would be the last time he would play football.
On Wednesday, he made certain it wouldn't be the last time when he signed his name on the dotted line where he will attend McKendree College next fall to continue his football career.
"I'm pretty excited," Ingram said minutes after finalizing the paper work in the school's media center. "I didn't think it was something that was going to happen, but I'm really looking forward to the next part of my career."
The next part of his career will be a one hour and 30 minute commute west to Lebanon where he hopes to help the Wildcats out with his pass rush that made him so effective at Harrisburg.
"It's close to home and that will be nice, but I'm excited to see how things go when I get up there. I think I'll like it a lot."
Ingram signed his NLOI on football signing day across the United States; Ingram joined his classmate Dakota Upchurch, who signed with Southern Illinois University.
The move for Ingram to McKendree is one that Harrisburg head coach Jason Roper will be beneficial for Ingram to grow as a student and as a player.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Isaac, not only as a player, but as a student. I have no doubt he will succeed in the class room and on the football field at McKendree. I'm personally excited to see the strides that he makes and how it helps him grow as an individual."

It is astonishing to think that Streeton was only twenty-four years old when he painted 'Fire's on', a work that remains one of the great icons of Australian landscape painting. When Streeton wrote to his friend Frederick McCubbin (1855–1917) about the work he was undertaking in the Blue Mountains, his excitement and ambition were palpable. It was the quintessentially Australian landscape and light that inspired him: 'the vast hill of bright sandstone' crowned by bush and the 'deep blue azure heaven'.1Streeton was also taken with the fact that this landscape was the location of one of the engineering feats of the late nineteenth century, the construction of the 'Zig Zag' railway line across the Great Dividing Range and a new tunnel that would make this part of the country more accessible.
Towards the end of 1891 Streeton spent three months at Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains undertaking numerous sketches and watercolours. By the time he came to paint 'Fire's on', he had familiarised himself with the terrain and was following the development of the railway tunnel with interest. In Streeton's letter to Roberts in December 1891 he conveyed a tension between his enthusiastic response to the landscape and the dangers involved in the work being undertaken.
I arrive at my cutting, 'the fatal cutting', and inwardly rejoice at the prosperous warmth all glowing before me as I descend and re-ascend the opposite side up to my shady, shelving, sandstone rock, perched high up … 12 o'clock … and now I hear 'Fire, fire's on', from the gang close by … BOOM! and then rumbling of rock, the navvy under the rock with me, and watching says, 'Man killed'.2
On the one hand the scale of the landscape and the historic activity of constructing the railway may be seen as an expression of a heroic, nationalistic viewpoint. Yet 'Fire's on' is a complex work, far removed from picturesque or pristine views of the land or people triumphing against the odds. Instead Streeton conveys a clear-eyed view of the pell-mell local scrub and the precarious rocks, dead tree-trunks and random scatter of stones on the steep hillside. On the right, it is as though a layer of earth has been peeled back by human progress to reveal the dazzling white sandstone, ochre soil and gaping mouth of the tunnel. Above the tunnel, delicately drawn figures are dwarfed by the environment, dissolving into its heat haze, while the figures below reveal the perilous nature of their endeavour.
Compared with depictions of similar subjects on the theme of human labour in the landscape, it is notable that in 'Fire's on' people are not the main focus. Instead the human drama is enmeshed with the towering, implacable presence of the land. Ultimately it is Streeton's passionate feeling for the environment as a whole and the heat and light of an Australian summer, conveyed through expressive brushwork, a daring compositional structure and intense, luminous colour, that would be an inspiration for generations of Australian painters to follow.

In the news: An anthropologist from Idaho State University is raising funds in order to look for Bigfoot with a remote-controlled blimp. The man, Jeffrey Meldrum, wrote a book called "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" and believes Bigfoot is out there. If he can raise the money for the blimp – around $300,000 – he will use the blimp to search the wilderness next spring.

Rilla Elizabeth Lyons King
Rilla Elizabeth Lyons King of Summit Ridge was born Dec. 5, 1918, in Linn County, Mo. to Essy Lee Lyons and Emma Ruth Trumbo Lyons. She was the eldest of three girls. Rilla passed away on Dec. 25, 2012.
After finishing high school she immediately began teaching all grades in a one-room school house in Missouri, acquiring her teaching education and certifications during the summers. She taught in this school for seven years. She then moved to Brookfield, Mo. and taught math and science for three years. After 10 years of teaching Rilla was ready to move on to something else.
Rilla's mother, Ruth saw an ad for a math and science teacher in Farmington, Ill. Rilla responded to the ad through a telegram, and the next day received a call from the superintendent of the school in Farmington, N.M.; they were also in need of a math and science teacher. Her uncle had heard of Farmington, N.M., and said it was a nice town not too far from the mountains. So with a little encouragement from her uncle she boarded a train for Grand Junction, Colo. After spending a night in Grand Junction she continued on to Farmington, through Montrose, Ouray and Durango. She said she was not expecting such a scenic trip.
Upon arriving in Farmington she began teaching and attending the Methodist Church. Ida King, her future mother-in-law was her Sunday school teacher. She did not meet Norman until after Christmas, as he had been in the mountains with the family's cattle. Rilla only taught one year and then married Norman when school was out, on Sunday, June 8, 1947. There were three girls born to Norman and Rilla.
Norman and Rilla continued ranching, summering the cattle in the mountains of Southwestern Colorado and wintering the cattle near Farmington. Rilla was very proud of their purebred Hereford cattle and continued to run purebred Herefords after Norman's death in 1977.
Rilla was very active in the state and local Southwest Colorado Cowbelles, and received several awards over the years, including local President from 1958-59, state President from 1966-67, Cowbelle of the Year in 1976, Colorado Cowbelle Life Member Award in 1981, Charter Member of Cowbelles, and Honorary Life Membership SW Cowbelles in 1988. She also received two other industry awards: SWLA Stockman of the Year for 1998, Western Heritage Award from the Durango Pro-Rodeo Company on July 19, 2000, and SW Colorado Cattlemen of the Year for 1999.
Very proud of this western heritage, Rilla kept current on industry affairs late into her life. She was very interested in local history and genealogy. She was also a firm believer that women in agriculture should be well-educated.
Rilla enjoyed sewing, quilting, cooking and making jelly. She also enjoyed playing board and card games with her family and friends. Rilla was a very meticulous lady; she taught her grandkids how to properly set the table and corrected a lot of their grammar. In her elder years she spent a lot of time reading and keeping her mind sharp with crossword and Sudoku puzzles.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her two sisters, Florence Evelyn and Aubby Ruth, and also her husband, Norman.
Rilla is survived by her sister-in-law, Troyetta Battley of Farmington and her husband Bob. She is also survived by her three daughters, Irene Elizabeth, Janice Lee and Helen Marie; grandchildren, Janette, Kristina, Stephanie, Shalla, Norman, Sheldonna, Melisa and Bradley; and by numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, and grand-nieces and nephews.
She is loved and will be missed.

Saul persecutes the Church—Philip's ministry in Samaria is described—Philip performs miracles and baptizes men and women—Peter and John come to Samaria and confer the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands—Simon seeks to buy this gift and is rebuked by Peter—Philip preaches about Christ and baptizes an Ethiopian eunuch.

We accept internship applications on a rolling basis. While most internships tend to adhere to academic semesters, start and end dates are flexible. The availability of each internship varies every semester, so check back often to see what's new.
Typically, if the internship supervisor decides that an applicant has the potential to be a good fit for PHA based on the materials submitted through the online application, they will set up a brief phone interview. The next step would be an in-person interview at PHA's office. In the following weeks, the internship supervisor will make the final decision of whether to make an offer to the candidate.
Due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are unable to respond to status inquiries. If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly.
Please apply through PHA's online application. You will need to upload a resume, properly addressed cover letter and 3-6 page writing sample.
Feel free to submit any writing sample that you feel best reflects your personal writing style. The topic is your choice! Please apply using PHA's online application.
PHA seeks to give hands-on educational opportunities to all of its interns through project-focused internships. We are not interested in providing you with hours of boring administrative work or asking you to fetch coffee for staff.

Interns may earn academic credit, but it is the responsibility of the intern to work with his/her school to determine and fulfill credit requirements.
If you would like to design a project that helps you meet your educational goals, PHA will work with you to achieve this.
PHA has hosted international students in the past, and international student eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. For more information, please contact the International Programs Coordinator at your school or email@example.com.

PHA's office is a fun, exciting workplace with a collegial atmosphere. Each intern has their own workspace, and all interns sit in close proximity to each other (we call it "Intern Alley"). Standard working hours at PHA are 9:00am-5:30pm, with up to an hour for lunch. In the past, interns have enjoyed participating in weekly staff meetings (includes a bagel breakfast!), PHA events and staff gatherings. Check out the intern video page for an in-depth look at the experiences of past interns.
Several of PHA's current and past staff members started with PHA as interns. Qualified interns are eligible and encouraged to apply for full time positions, when available. PHA also encourages all former interns to regularly check the Staff Openings web page for available positions.
Randall McLeod, Associate Director, Database Services, manages PHA's internship program. He oversees the recruitment and application processes and coordinates intern transitions.
