Description: PolicyLink operates a summer internship program for continuing graduate students (master's or doctoral) in public policy, urban planning, and related fields. Internships are paid and the duration is generally 10 weeks. PolicyLink occasionally hosts interns during the academic year, depending on project needs and student interest.
We strive to provide each intern with two main opportunities: 1) a meaningful and challenging assignment (or set of assignments) that provides a chance to apply and hone the skills they are learning in graduate school to influence public policy; and 2) the opportunity to learn about the process of policy change and the way that PolicyLink accomplishes our mission of advancing economic, social, and racial equity through policy change.
Each intern plays an integral role in helping our organization further policy impact through research, communications, capacity building, and advocacy. We have had interns from nearly 20 different universities and colleges, in programs such as urban planning, public policy, public health, community development, information management, and journalism/communications.
Interns gain insight into the field by assuming responsibility for a project under the guidance of experienced professionals. Most internship positions are based in our Oakland office; however, if space is available and there is need, we also host interns in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York. Communications interns are based in our New York office.
PolicyLink is seeking a graduate student intern to provide research support to a project focused on providing practitioners and advocates with useful data, analyses, and policy ideas to advance equitable growth. PolicyLink is engaged in a formal partnership with the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE), a research institute based at the University of Southern California, to produce relevant research about equity, demographic change, and the economy. In October 2014, we released the National Equity Atlas, a comprehensive online resource for data to track, measure, and make the case for inclusive growth in America's regions, and states, and nationwide. The Atlas contains data on demographic change, indicators of racial and economic inclusion, and the economic benefits of equity for the largest 150 regions, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States as a whole.
The intern will help the team continue to build out this living resource and connect it to on-the-ground change efforts. Assignments may include analyzing regional industry sectors and occupations for equitable growth opportunities; developing short analyses of how regions and states perform on various indicators of equitable growth (such as racial inclusion in high-opportunity industries and occupations); researching new indicators, data displays, and analyses and writing content for the website; contributing research and analysis to tailored equitable growth analyses for specific regions; and researching and writing short profiles about the use of equity data for inclusive growth to include in the "Data In Action" section of the site.
- Graduate student in urban planning, economics, business, public policy, or related field.
- Commitment to social equity issues and experience working with low-income communities of color.

Stalking Bret Easton Ellis is a novel comprised of several vignettes detailing the lives of a handful of young college students in New England and Los Angeles. They are living the life that we all dream of?or maybe it?s the life that we think we want to live. They struggle to find their way and yearn for acceptance and meaning in their superficial, empty, post-modern lives where money and beauty call the shots and indecency and nonchalance run rampant. Despite living on opposite coasts, the central characters' lives intertwine in "that way that people with million-dollar houses" have lives that intertwine. They are connected by an unspeakable code of skewed ethics and a lifestyle that dictates the necessities of the high life - a life they all struggle to belong in, whether already there or not. The fight to be part of the in-crowd is undermined by the pure emptiness of the lifestyles of the rich.

A solar-powered airplane took off on its first major test flight Wednesday morning, from an airfield in western Switzerland.
The flight of the plane, named Solar Impulse, comes ahead of plans to use a similar solar-powered plane to fly around the world in 2012.
"We want to demonstrate what can be achieved with renewable energy," Bertrand Piccard, the man behind the project, was quoted by the Swiss ATS news agency as saying.
The plane has the wing span of an Airbus A340, the weight of an average car, and is powered by some 12,000 solar cells.
The Solar Impulse - also the name of the project behind the plane - is "the first aircraft designed to fly night and day without fuel or polluting emissions".
The flight, aimed at testing the plane and discovering its vulnerabilities, was expected to last for about an hour and a half.
"With such a large and light plane never having flown before, the aircraft's flight behaviour remains unexplored," the project officials said in a statement before the flight began.
Previous tests of the plane have been on much smaller scales, involving seeing if the plane could get off the ground, but no extended airtime at significant altitude was attempted.

text: MAKING THE TEDDY BEAR BANK Having studied the working drawings for making the box and carefully selected your wood, set out the various dimensions and cut out the ten component parts—the four sides, the base, the top and the four inside-corner fillets. Cut the rabbets at the corners and glue up. Round over the edges of the base and lid with a quarter-curve profile and fit with countersunk screws. Trace the side-view profile of the bear through to your chosen wood—best if it's a soft easy-to-carve timber like lime, jelutong or basswood—and cut it out on the scroll saw. Rerun this procedure for the front views. You should finish up with six parts—the head, the body, two arms and two legs. Drill 1/2"-diameter holes down through the body, up into the head, through the shoulder and into the arm, and fit stubs of 1/2"-dowel for the neck and for the jointed arm. When you have made the basic parts for the bear, use a knife to swiftly whittle the cutouts to shape. Don't try for anything fancy, just go for uncomplicated and stylized chunky forms. Finally, having first used a scalpel and sandpaper to tidy up and create a good finish, use a dash of black acrylic paint to detail the nose, eyes and mouth.

The Trasparente is our favorite autumn and spring piece, and we find ourselves wearing it on winter days with the temperature below the stated comfort range. It's lightweight and fits like a jersey, yet keeps the wind off the front with its Windstopper XLlite Plus fabric. The Trasparente features splash protection on the back and wind protection on the arms.

We had to update the prices both for the products and for the shipping costs. Good news is that customers abroad Norway don't have to pay the Norwegian VAT, so especially for the CDs, they will become cheaper alltogether with the shipping. AND excited to announce that we will make vinyl of the critically acclaimed and highly reccommended Jenny Hval & Susanna 'Meshes of Voice'. It will be double and come with the beautiful cover design by Johanna Blom/Arne Bendik Sjur. But it takes some time to make vinyl these days, and we won't promise to have it until sometime in the summer 2015. If you preorder it directly here, you will get a signed copy before the product is in the shops! LIMITED EDITION 500, the first 100 will be numbered and signed.
We launched a Best of Susanna series on cassettes this weekend, three volumes and a wonderful design by Lasse Marhaug.
