<Title>talk: Wolff on Local Thresholding for Structured and Unstructured Graphs, 2pm 9/28</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><img alt="" height="308" src="http://www.csee.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/graph.png" width="700" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p><span>UMBC CSEE Colloquium</span></p>
    <p><strong><span>Local Thresholding for Structured and Unstructured Graphs</span></strong></p>
    <p><span><a href="http://is.haifa.ac.il/~rwolff" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dr. Ran Wolff</a>, Haifa University, Israel</span></p>
    <p><span>2:00pm Friday, 28 September 2012, ITE 325B<br>
    	<span><span><em>note unusual time and room</em></span></span></span></p>
    <p>Local thresholding algorithms were first offered a decade ago as a communication thrifty alternative for computation in large distributed environments. Their disadvantage, however, has always been in their brittleness. A single cycle in the communication graph could mean the algorithm converges to the wrong value. This talk describes two advances in local thresholding algorithms which overcome the demand for cycle freedom. The first is a local tree induction protocol for structured peer-to-peer networks which seamlessly integrates with the local thresholding algorithm. The second are new local stopping and update rules which permit execution of the local thresholding algorithm on general graphs. The first solution vastly outperforms a gossip based algorithm on simple computation tasks in a Chord-like peer-to-peer network. The second may transform the way data is processed in wireless sensor networks, where gossip is mostly considered impermissibly costly.</p>

<Title>VOLUNTEER INTERN - OIL AND GAS ANALYSIS</Title>
<Tagline>Fall Opportunity with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <strong>VOLUNTEER INTERN - OIL AND GAS ANALYSIS<br>
    Microeconomic Studies Division</strong><br><br>
    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a small nonpartisan agency that
     provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. The 
    Microeconomic Studies Division seeks a volunteer intern to work at least
     16-20 hours per week at CBO during the fall semester to conduct an 
    analysis of federal oil and gas fiscal regimes. This division has 
    primary responsibility for analyzing a broad range of policy issues, 
    with an emphasis on the microeconomic foundations of the economy and on 
    the federal government's role as a regulator, manager of resources, and 
    provider of public goods. Its analytical areas include: agriculture, 
    commerce and trade, energy and natural resources, infrastructure, 
    including both transportation and telecommunications, and climate and 
    the environment. The division also examines the effects of prospective 
    legislation on the private sector and estimates the costs of mandates 
    imposed on the private sector.<br>
    <br>The intern will help in the collection and processing of data related to
     the leasing, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas in
     the United States. This and other available data will be used to 
    estimate the effect of differing royalty rates, regulations, and 
    permitting requirements on the probabilities that firms lease, develop, 
    or produce oil and gas. Under the guidance of a CBO analyst, the intern 
    will work with appropriate agencies to collect the necessary data and 
    assist with data analysis.<br>
    <br><strong>Qualifications</strong><br>
    Candidates should be working towards a graduate degree in economics, 
    public policy, or a related field, although current undergraduate 
    seniors with excellent quantitative skills and prior research experience
     may be considered. Candidates must be detail oriented and proficient in
     Excel and/or MS Access; proficiency with STATA is preferred but not 
    required. Prior experience working with large data sets and familiarity 
    with oil and gas development is a plus. This position also requires a 
    person with strong communication and organizational skills who can work 
    independently and as a part of a team. Although this is a fall 
    internship, it may be possible to extend through the spring semester.<br>
    <br>Unpaid internships can only be offered to students whose universities 
    sponsor internships with federal agencies. Such sponsorship does not 
    require the student to receive compensation from the university, nor 
    does it require the university to offer class credit for the internship.
     The university must be willing to complete CBO’s sponsorship form 
    stating that it is sponsoring the student for an unpaid internship at 
    CBO which will be of educational benefit to the participant. Students 
    must verify for themselves that their university is willing to sponsor 
    the internship before applying but will only be required to submit the 
    sponsorship form if the student is offered an internship.<br>
    <br><strong>How to Apply</strong><br>
    Please submit a cover letter, résumé, unofficial transcripts, and 
    contact information for two references online at 
    <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/careers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.cbo.gov/careers</a>. This position is not covered by the 
    Veterans Employment Opportunities Act.<br>
