This version corrects an error in the published version. The lower bound in Theorem 5.3 should be
$\min_{P\ge 0}\left\{2k^2 P+\left(\left[\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{1+4P}}-\sqrt{P}\right]_+\right)^2\right\}$ .

I've had the good fortune of working with Prof. George Verghese's group at MIT as well as the Carmena Lab at UC Berkeley.

I've been heavily involved with the EEGSA and WICSE at Berkeley, both of which are great communities. Come join us!

From January to June 2009, I taught computer science in Accra, Ghana at MEST. Here are some pictures.

Consider teaching with the Prison University Project if you are in the Bay Area.
