Players/Officials: Sachin Tendulkar
Teams: India
On the night of April 2, 2011, the Wankhede Stadium was more than a stadium. It was a wall of volume, a tidal wave of noise that began on land and spread towards the Arabian Sea in the west and the train tracks to the east, as India won the World Cup after 28 years.
Then, the figure of Sachin Tendulkar was seen sprinting down from the dressing-room stairs onto the grass and his teammates. From the other end of the field where we stood - my colleague Nagraj Gollapudi and I, at ground level - Tendulkar was a speck in a surging sea of specks.
Yet, driven to an insane joy they will probably never experience again, the crowd spotted the speck, one stand at a time. And the noise began to grow larger, as if it had a tangible, physical size. As if the air had expanded to fit in the sound of 40,000 lungs each calling out to Tendulkar, in a joyful sharing. The stadium, it felt, was about to be lifted off its architecturally solid foundations.
This was the last time Sachin Tendulkar played an ODI in India. It was his best of times in the game's short form. Yet he played ten ODIs after the World Cup final, which gave rise to much hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing and plaintive queries of "Why didn't he quit right then?"
The World Cup was Tendulkar's sixth, and his second final turned out to be successful. That would have been the ideal time to wave goodbye to the one-day game, a movie-script-finish, with thunderous music. But he didn't and maybe he will tell us why he didn't quit the ODI game right then. Or maybe he won't.
For any neutral Tendulkar observer/watcher/analyst, the decision to linger on and retire from ODI cricket 20 months after winning the World Cup must be handled like a DRS-free, 50-50 umpiring decision. Deal with it, buddy. The last 20 months could either be interpreted as Tendulkar's blip or blemish, his private battle against time or his stubborn refusal to surrender one half of his cricketing identity.
With the passing of time, though, the 20 months will pale against the monument created by Tendulkar's ODI career in its studious, raging pursuit. The numbers are formidable - 18,426 runs from 463 matches, 49 centuries, 96 fifties, at an average of 44.83 and a strike rate of 86.23 - and won't be matched. But the reason Tendulkar has become the standard by which batsmen must measure themselves in the limited-overs game requires the imagination to be stretched a little beyond those numbers.
|His retirement from the short form, whether brought on by an inner voice or a nudge from the selectors, indicates that Tendulkar wants to give his Test match batsmanship another crack, against the Australians next year
In limited-overs cricket, Tendulkar represents reinvention. Of form, of technique, of order, to some extent of the passage of time. His ODI career was crafted with a riotous method in the first half and scientific consistency in the middle. Towards the end, though, there came unexpected abandon. For everyone who thought they had understood Tendulkar and his approach to one-day batting, around the corner there lay surprise.
If statistics can be turned into symbols, Tendulkar's highest score fits all this perfectly: 200 not out, the first double-century in ODIs, scored in his 442nd one-day match, when he was two months short of his 37th birthday. In a sport growing younger and faster, 200 off 147 balls came from the most experienced man in the game.
Tendulkar's surge in ODI cricket - and in India's imagination - had much to do with his constant request to the team manager Ajit Wadekar to allow him to open the innings in 1994. Over and over again he asked for one chance, "And if I fail I'll never ever come to you again." The chance was given and Tendulkar and limited-overs batting and Indian cricket were forever transformed.
The advent of the attacking opener came to public notice at the 1996 World Cup through Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana. Tendulkar did not have an opening partner to match his pace but by the time the 1996 World Cup began, he had played 32 ODIs as an opener, with four centuries and nine fifties, at a strike rate of 94.
He has often spoken of the impact his ODI batting had on his Test career, in improvisation, widening and making flexible the canvas of his strokeplay in both forms. His peak as an ODI batsman was always carbon-dated to Sharjah 1998, particularly as he chose to play the anchor's role at No. 4 for a while. As a returning opener, Tendulkar accumulated scores with consistency and fluency but without the Sharjah aggro. Yet, once past the cricketing dotage of 35, with injuries set aside, Tendulkar the ODI batsman turned up at the top of the order and smashed the clocks.
He won't play the ODI game anymore. His retirement from the short form, whether brought on by an inner voice or a nudge from the selectors, indicates that Tendulkar wants to give his Test match batsmanship another crack, against the Australians next year. It could be his final shot at reinvention.
Tendulkar, Indian emotion, and in the past couple of years some anguished questions, have always travelled together. As he brings his ODI career to a halt, here though are a few less anguished ones. Why didn't Tendulkar lose his way at the age of 25, having gone crazy with the adulation? Why didn't he turn into a boor or a prima donna? Or give the crowd the finger when they booed or heckled him, which they did? Or give up the hardship of Test cricket and coast, like he could have done, in ODIs? Stats cannot measure drive or ambition. Nor indeed its benefits or hindrances.
For the moment, though, a favourite memory of Tendulkar in ODI cricket. It is not the teenager whose cherubic cheeks bulged from under the helmet visor and who wielded his chunky bat like a razor-blade in a knife- fight. Or the boy who grabbed the ball to bowl the last over of the Hero Cup semi-final against South Africa. Or the "desert storm" of 1998, or the upper cut of Centurion, or even the speck in a sea of specks rushing down the steps at the far end of the Wankhede Stadium.
It lasted all of a few, fleeting minutes, in Jaipur. This was the match before the Gwalior 200 not out, the first of three 2010 ODIs against South Africa, who needed seven to win with two balls left. On the penultimate ball, Charl Langeveldt pulled one that travelled at speed past short fine leg. Tendulkar, on the boundary, ran full tilt towards the ball and flung himself, diving and sliding along the ground like he was 16, to get his hands on the ball. The batsmen had taken three and Tendulkar saved a single. India won that match by one run.

Re: Quick question about trading in my car.... Please help me.?
Your situation is very similar to mine. I bought my 2003 ford exdedition in 06 at 12%. after numerous attempts, navy fed agreed to ref for 9%. Penfed refused to ref because value is way down. i still owe 16k for it. Penfed approved me for 22k auto loan, but i can't even use it because one ford dealer was offering me 4k for trade in. i told them to kiss my $% and left. The penfed auto loan is at 4.25%. i was hoping to get even 10k for the trade in and roll the negative equity into another car. I just wanted to take advantage of the low interest rate. I have a blank check in hand but i dont know what to. one dealer adviced me to buy a very cheap car for like 4k or 5k. i do not think penfed would agree with such a deal. Do I have any other options? For now i am thinking of keeping the truck for like another year or two and try again. I just got approved for a 15k cc from pedfed and they are advertising bt at 2.99, can i ask to bt my auto balance or is it just for cc. if i can do that, i do not care about fico hit for now.

The Twelve Clues of Christmas (Royal Spyness Mysteries)by Rhys Bowen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the New York Times betselling author of Queen of Hearts comes another mystery for "fans of P.G. Wodehouse looking for laughs mingled with some amateur sleuthing." (Publishers Weekly)
Lady Georgiana Rannoch wont deny that being thirty-fifth in line for the British throne has its advantages. Unfortunately, money isnt one of them. And sometimes making ends meet requires her to investigate a little royal wrongdoing.
While my beau Darcy is off on a mysterious mission, I am once again caught between my high birth and empty purse. I am therefore relieved to receive a new assignment from the Queen—especially one that includes lodging. The Kings youngest son, George, is to wed Princess Marina of Greece, and I shall be her companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace.
My duties are simple: help Marina acclimate to English life, show her the best of London and, above all, dispel any rumors about Georges libertine history. Perhaps that last bit isnt so simple.
George is known for his many affairs with women as well as men—including the great songwriter Noel Coward. But things truly get complicated when I search the Palace for a supposed ghost only to encounter an actual dead person: a society beauty said to have been one of Prince Georges mistresses.
Nothing spoils a royal wedding more than murder, and the Queen wants the whole matter hushed. But as the investigation unfolds—and Darcy, as always, turns up in the most unlikely of places—the investigation brings us precariously close to the prince himself.
She may be thirty-fifth in line for the throne, but Lady Georgiana Rannoch cannot wait to ring in the New Year—before a Christmas killer wrings another neck
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me—well, actually, my true love, Darcy OMara, is spending a feliz navidad tramping around South America. Meanwhile Mummy is holed up in a tiny village called Tiddleton-under-Lovey with that droll Noel Coward! And Im snowed in at Castle Rannoch with my bumbling brother, Binky, and sourpuss sister-in-law, Fig.
So its a miracle when I contrive to land a position as hostess to a posh holiday party in Tiddleton. The village is like something out of A Christmas Carol! But no sooner have I arrived than a neighborhood nuisance, a fellow named Freddie, falls out of a tree dead. On my second day, another so-called accident results in a death and theres yet another on my third. Perhaps a recent prison break could have something to do with it that, or a long-standing witchs curse. But after Darcy shows up beneath the mistletoe, anything could be possible in this wicked wonderland.
Includes an English Christmas companion, full of holiday recipes, games, and more!

This is a discussion on Galco Stow and Go for M&P compact (bought it) within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by smolck Well, I just couldn't help myself. Dropped by my LGS and picked it up. Initial impression is I like it. I ...
For something like my M&P compact, I actually prefer the summer comfort. But I am partial to leather. Oddly enough, in jeans the king tuck gets more use, for some reason my summer comfort just doesn't fit right in jeans. In my cargo shorts (which I wear 80% of the year) the summer comfort fits best. I will say, the lower edge of the summer comfort can dig into my butt a little bit when I wear it. Partially because it is so smooth it slips down some. If I had it to do again I would have bought the Galco Royal Guard which is rough side out. But I wear the summer comfort often in shorts.
Hope that helps.
I hav a stow an go. It is very light, thin, soft, covers the triggers very well and has enough give in it to be a all da carry rig.
I have the Stow and Go for several pistols including the M&P Compact, but I carry it in a Galco King Tuk.
Galco also makes a version of the Stow and Go that has a clip that hooks under your belt and makes the holster tuckable.
Don't remember the name of it, but I carry my Glock 26 in it and it works really well. About 10 dollars more than the Stow and Go. Pretty nice off the shelf holsters.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.

These plans, used by 30% of Medicare beneficiaries, supplement traditional Medicare coverage. The planned cuts to the MA program risked a political firestorm just months before the midterm elections. While MA received a short-term pardon, the Obama Administration is going forward with dramatic cuts to home health care services for seniors. Apr 23, 2014 7:59 PM PT Poll: Democrats in Worse Position Than 2010 A new Fox News poll goes a long way to explaining the growing anxiety among Democrats about the upcoming midterm elections. Not only is support for Obama and his signature ObamaCare law underwater, both are more unpopular than they were at this point ahead of the mid-term elections in 2010. Support for the Democrats and ObamaCare, in fact, is less than it was on the eve of the 2010 election, when Republicans routed Democrats up and down the ballot. Apr 22, 2014 9:08 AM PT Senate Democrats Forced to Defend More Seats In even a neutral political environment, the 2014 midterms were going to be a challenge for Senate Democrats. They are defending 21 seats to the GOP's 15, with only two of the Republican seats at any kind of risk of flipping to the Democrats. Moreover, Democrats were defending many freshman Senators who first won office in in Republican states in Obama's wave election in 2008. This isn't a neutral political environment, however.

The first ad of her campaign, in fact, touted this position and claimed she would be able to expand oil and gas production that is so vital to her state's economy. Her argument that she can deliver for her constituents was severely undercut when the Obama Administration announced late Friday that it was again delaying a decision on approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

April 15th is tax day. As the saying goes, 'the only things that are certain are death and taxes." Well you can add to that, "and Lady Antebellum albums sell like crazy."
Lady A from the land down under!
Here's a quick rundown of some of the recent highlights from the Keith Urban 'Get Closer' tour with Lady Antebellum. At a show in Australia, Keith brings 5 year old Nathan on stage to sing 'Day's Go By'. What I find funny about this video clip are Nathan's parents, you can hear his mom and dad yelling his name and telling him what to do it's hysterical.

But first, more information on this excellent program:
I crashed the get-acquainted reception for a class several years ago, and met a terrific group of people. They were energetic, enthusiastic, smart, hard-working -- and fun. The kind of people who are a credit to the profession and "grow up" to become an APWA Top 10 Leader.
I think it's important to note that the program isn't just for engineers, as you'll see from this list:

Are you on kraken?
Story by Andrew Kiraly
The remote Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park in central Nevada is filled with slumbering fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago. But in recent years, this sleepy paleo-park has become a flashpoint of scientific controversy — and now it may just be ground zero for a new understanding of aquatic life in the ancient sea that once covered Nevada. The controversy centers on a series of nine fossilized spines of ichthyosaurs that form a tantalizingly geometric pattern. How that happened has baffled paleontologists and biologists for decades: Did a bloom of toxic plankton do the ichthyosaurs in? Did the currents of the ancient sea arrange their vertebral discs in these eerily neat double lines? Or did something kill the ichthyosaurs and place their bones there … arrange them there? Prof. Mark McMenamin of Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts has a literally monster theory. The paleontologist believes that a Triassic mega-cephalopod — essentially, yep, a gigantic octopus — killed the ichthyosaurs. And then, like a trophy-collecting murderer straight out of "Dexter," the prehistoric octo-beast arranged them in a pleasing pattern in its underwater death-lair. McMenamin argued just that in a presentation at the 2011 annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis.
A giganto-kraken taking out ancient sea-reptiles the size of school buses? Other paleontologists dismissed him. Science bloggers ridiculed him. All made countless "release the kraken" jokes. "I had people threatening that I'll never get this peer-reviewed and into scientific literature," he says. (That's the science-world version of a major diss.) In his defense, McMenamin points out that modern octopi engage in just this sort of intelligent collecting behavior. And if you have trouble imagining a octopus mustering the muscle to tackle a big fish, simply Google "octopus vs. shark."
But McMenamin may get the last laugh: On a return visit to the park in May, he found what he believes is hard evidence. "I have the kraken's fossilized beak fragment," he says. "As a matter of fact, it's in my backpack." Barring unforeseen circumstances, at the Oct. 27-30 Geological Society of America conference in Denver, Colo., he will have delivered a talk about his theory that now includes this latest evidence. "I will admit to having a feeling like Dorothy coming back with the witch's broom," McMenamin says. He's sparked a renewed discussion over ancient sea life — proving that even prehistory isn't always written in stone.

Bill is our neighbor, so we know his thoughtfulness, integrity and ethics. Now that I see his impressive education and experience working with our schools and kids, I am even more convinced that Bill is the right person for the School Board.

I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Bill Youstra and his family over the past couple of years mainly through our mutual volunteer efforts.
Last year, we were lucky enough to have Bill coach my son's soccer team. My son really did not want to play. He was only half interested. Bill's coaching made ALL of the difference! He was very positive and supportive. His soft spoken encouragement really helped my shy first grader learn to love the sport.
Bill is an intuitive listener who genuinely cares about people and our community. His background in education and technology would make him a perfect addition to our Portola Valley School Board.
Please mail in your ballot and vote for Bill Youstra!

Read more books on complex systems. Stop enforcing top-down process for the sake of it; build simple rules to create a fence around where you want the company to move while allowing your teams to direct how they best see fit. Apple isn't a small company anymore and as such the same management models will not work. Invest more in the talent that has brought Apple its success as that will create a positive feedback loops in ares of: competing in the high skilled labor market, reducing overhead costs, avoiding the Apple engineering churn, etc.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

One word: retail. Unable to have a fixed schedule, deal with cranky customers on a daily basis, managers who don't really know the product (unable to support you). Apple seems to target those without much direction, and gives them hope that they will be able to advance and then never actually promote them (besides money-making machines). Hard to get a job here, even harder to advance once you're in

Following Barack Obama's announcement that he would use executive authority on immigration policy, BC Social Work Professor Westy Egmont went on CNN to discuss what the order means for the millions of immigrants affected by the president's decision.
"I'm sure that tonight, there's a lot of weeping and joy in millions of homes across the United States," Egmont told CNN International anchor Errol Barnett. "This is a profound opportunity for people to come out of the shadows…It means for some people the ability to go to work legally. It means for many people the ability to stay with their children who have already been given under DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] the opportunity to stay in the country. It certainly is going to mean an emotional opportunity to breathe deeper, to feel cohesively a part of the community in which in they live, and to take hope for the future."

Frustrations grow as defensive frailties continue to cost Liverpool
A late equaliser for the home side was not important in any practical sense, as Liverpool will still need to beat Basel at Anfield in their final Group B game in order to progress to the Champions League knockout stages.
In terms of morale and the continuation of their quite awful defensive record throughout the calendar year, it merely added another layer to the frustration this seemingly unsolvable problem is causing.
It was a scrappy performance only slightly excused by a poor pitch and the...

Regardless of whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday or one in between, there are certain types of birthday gifts for men that you can't go wrong buying. We've chosen some of our favorites to help you find that great birthday gift for a guy.
Technology changes so frequently that a gadget can always be updated. Even if he already has an earlier version, there is usually a newer one that holds more, runs faster, looks sleeker.
Indulge the birthday man's love of his favorite sports team by buying him an official team cap, jersey or sweatshirt. Does he blame his golf game on his clubs? Treat him to a new putter this birthday. Or if he's the quiet type who enjoys a reflective day on the water fishing, set him up with a new fishing rod.
We know what all work and no play makes…give the man a birthday gift that lets him dip his toe on the wild side. Sign him up for a membership to a beer, wine or sirloin "of-the-month" club. Or treat him to a box of finely-crafted cigars.
Whatever number is on his cake, celebrate the man in your life by choosing a great birthday gift.

I'm not an animal person.
But being a parent is challenging me in that area. As being a parent does in so many areas.
We had some pets when I was growing up. I have a vague memory of a set of guinea pigs. Then as a family we went through some cat years. The cat years ended when our last one simply wandered off one day and never returned. The theory was that he settled into a moving truck that had been down our street, and went on to live a good life in Thunder Bay. So I sort of get cats. They're mostly all cool, just lying around. Except the time our cat Pogo got caught in the upper part of our neighbour's garage door when I was about 12. There was a lot of hysterical cat screaming (and human screaming) that day during the highly technical operation to free her.
But I never got comfortable around dogs. There was always too much jumping up, drooling, and crotch sniffing for my liking. And freestyle poo-ing. Even today, I always feel kind of bad for dog owners walking along with their little bags of poo.
So I'm out of my comfort zone with my 8-year old daughter's intense love of animals. All animals.
I totally respect this love of animals, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. But I'm sort of on the edges of it all with her, trying to find ways to be with her in this love without actually feeling the love myself.
We have zoo memberships. And we go to the pet store a lot. Isabelle could spend hours in the pet store picking up the hamsters and mice. I've never touched one yet. But I'm always quick to "get the guy" who will help us.
Isabelle went to a day camp at the Humane Society this summer, after which she declared her allegiance to vegetarianism. So I've been sitting in that space with her as her ideas around vegetarianism morph and change. Unfortunately, she doesn't care for my home-cooked walnut balls.
There was also the two straight days I spent with her in a one-room Bug Zoo during a Bug-Zoo-specific-destination-mom-and-daughter weekend in Victoria last summer. During which – let the record show – I held a tarantula.
Then was horse camp.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" an acqaintance asked me this summer when I mentioned that Isabelle was starting horse camp the next day. "Let me put it this way," he said. "My daughter went to horse camp once. I now live in the country and own three horses."
The horse thing is intense right now. It's almost two months since horse camp ended. Isabelle is still writing daily about her memories from camp (she is on day 3).
So we have been doing 'animal things' together and facilitating her participation in animal things. But there are also the conversations about if we can get a cat. Or a dog. Or a hamster. Or move to a farm. Or become a family of horse trainers.
The answer is always "we'll see".
The closest we've got so far is this.
A couple of weeks ago, counting up her saved allowance, Isabelle realized she has enough money for an electronic toy dog she'd been eyeing in the toy store. She bought the dog. It actually walks, sits, barks….all that jazz. Isabelle quickly became very connected to GoGo the electronic dog.
The other day, Isabelle invited me to take the electronic dog for a walk after dinner. We meandered down our local pathway, with the electronic dog on his leash beside us. Isabelle was thrilled, stopping every few minutes to get GoGo to sit or lie down. But as other "real dog" walkers approached, I felt a little weird.
The real dog would slow down to look and sniff at us and the electronic dog. As the pleasantries were exchanged with the owner, I imagined the subtext.
Yep, that's my kid playing with her fake dog.
Lady, get the kid a real dog.
It was the first time – though it was a quick instant – my discomfort with the idea of having a pet was outshone by my love for my child. I could actually feel the reasons why it might be good.
Oh man. But I'm just not there yet. I'm just not there.

Man pleads guilty in Lake Charles kidnapping
LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) -- A 39-year-old man has pleaded guilty to kidnapping his estranged, pregnant wife in October 2011.
Holly Carter, a spokeswoman for the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney's Office, tells the American Press William Paul Morgan entered his plea Monday to charges of second-degree kidnapping and violation of a protective order.
Carter says Morgan was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with seven years suspended. Morgan, who has been imprisoned since the incident, will receive credit for time served.
Police say Morgan's wife was five months pregnant when he kidnapped her from her place of employment on Oct. 14, 2011.
He took her before noon and surrendered at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office at 8 p.m. the same day.

The food is authentic Cantonese, served amid riotous decor and writhing gold dragons. Locals come here for roast goose with beautifully crisp skin and tender meat, as well as dim sum. Other excellent dishes include the "cloudy tea" smoked pork, which needs to be reserved a day in advance, and deep-fried
prawns with mini crab roe. More adventurous palates may wish to check out the thousand-year-old preserved eggs.

I can't speak for Einstein or Hawking, but the MATH doesn't lie, and the underlying logic is pretty clear on this matter.

I think that's backwards. If we're moving toward each other we're both
shifted, not red shifted.
Doppler shift is immaterial. The speed of light is still constant in both reference frames, and time dilation is a consequence of this.
Although, I admit it's been so long since I actually did the equations that I can't remember anymore if a positive or negative integer for velocity would actually make a difference. I remember thinking that it should, and being told by someone smarter than me that it wouldn't, but that same person suddenly went on to explain how the GPS system is more proof of special relativity.
I'll probably sit down and play with the numbers later tonight, just to be sure.

Back on point (a little anyway). I would not be using a pepper spray "grenade" for the reasons stated above. And I am quite certain my .45 will back a flash just before a loud bang (light faster than sound and all), I am 100% sure that this will "dissorient" the BG.

Houses are laid out screwy here in FL. In the one I'm in, the master is on one side, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th BR (read: kid's rooms) on the other. There's a kitchen, living, and family room in between. If I were to simply hide in my BR, my kids would be unprotected. It's a very bad layout. I'm more used to my northern home, with all the BR's upstairs, and close together. It's a lot safer and easier to defend. Just sit at the end of the hallway, and blast any one who comes up the stairs (after first accounting for all the kids, of course).
A DVD that I saw recommended that you secure your family in a safe room where you should have a good light, cell phone and your HD gun.
Call 911 and once the pertinent info is given to the dispatcher make a statement like "I have a gun and intend to use it!" so it gets recorded on the call. This is intended to help with the entire incident if required.
It stated that one should never go through your home unless you need to secure a family member.
Speaking of the surefire, and I'm not saying this is a good idea, but it could be used as a flash-bang minus the bang, right? Put it on one of the super hi-lumen settings in strobe and chuck it in your living room. That would disorient and confuse the heck out of me if I was trying to creep around.
Still, probably a better idea to use it to ID the guy if you actually have to leave your room.
On the other hand, I got up one night thinking the noise I heard was the cat knocking something off the counter and it turned out to be someone breaking through my front door with a crowbar. Luckily I keep a second shotgun in the living room closet loaded with #3 buckshot.
I couldn't care less about my walls. Someone breaking into my home WILL be stopped by the most effective means possible. To that end, I keep two shotguns in different areas loaded with #3 buckshot, a dedicated bedside 1911 loaded with 230gr. HP and my carry gun(s) on the bedside table, fully loaded.
The plan now is the same as it was the night of our break in: My wife calls 911 from behind cover in our bedroom (armed of course) while I guard the door with a shotgun until the police arrive.

Instilling an understanding of design and the design process is a key aspect of preparing civil engineering students for professional practice. Senior-Level Capstone Design, a Project Based Learning course, immerses students in a "real-world" situation where they work on a major open-ended design challenge in multi-disciplinary teams. Mentors play a key role in this cross-disciplinary learning environment.
Students learn cross-disciplinary design skills through interacting in their design teams and through mentoring relationships. Mentors for this class are industry professionals who devote time to students as coaches and role models within the university setting. Although mentors can fill any number of different roles, all mentors have the same goal in common: to help students achieve their potential and expand their abilities within the "real world" experience of the Capstone class.
Mentoring is both structured and flexible. Mentors are expected to participate in class and work with students teams on Thursday mornings from 7:45 to 9:15. This structured class time is dedicated to mentor-student interactions. This includes both active and peripheral mentoring.
Mentors should have a somewhat flexible schedule. Mentors are encouraged to engage with the student teams and/or individual students in informal communication via the mentor's office work environment, e-mail or web-based collaborative technology. Mentors should also plan to attend mid-term and final project presentations by their student team.
Mentor feedback and critique are important to the continued success of the course. Instructors welcome feedback at any time. Mentors should plan to attend an end of semester de-briefing session with their student team and instructors.
Role of the mentor
The mentor function comprises multiple roles; these include both active and peripheral roles.
1. As a guide. Mentors should offer guidance. Guidance is different than leading. Allow discovery, provide feedback, but do not provide all the answers directly. The subject range may be broad and may include areas that the student has little or no experience with. It is valid to provide examples of solutions to similar problems, to provide "rules of thumb" and to explore standard approaches to solving problems. Students may not come to the class with a clear understanding of what it means to function well in a cross-disciplinary team. They may need clarification and support relative to the process and collaboration.
2. As a skills developer.
It is valid for a mentor to sometimes assume a teaching or coaching role around
a particular skill-set, helping the student to learn quickly, in the format and
style appropriate. The solution may require knowledge of material that the
student group has yet to explore in depth in prior coursework. Teaching soft skills
is particularly important for the mid- term and final presentations.
3. As a role model. An effective mentor is invariably accomplished in their organizational role. They are generally admired and respected in their position, and their achievements in that position. Students will often look for a set of habits, approaches, style and skills that the mentor exhibits. The mentor, for example, may bring in professionals from other disciplines to collectively support the student project, illustrating a collaborative approach to multi-disciplinary teams. Students then become aware of how these professionals work and interact with each other.
4. As a sounding board. Good mentors have to be good listeners. They need to foster confidence in the student. Mentors should provide opportunities for their students to articulate and develop ideas without fear of pre-judgment, criticism or ridicule.
5. As an advocate and champion: Good mentors may choose to do more than just interact with their students. They may actively and wisely foster support for the students' activities within the college setting, influencing and promoting the students' capabilities and worth.
6. Mentors should provide critique and feedback to the students on a regular basis.
· Help the students achieve the goals of the Capstone course.
· Guide the students through the course "real world" project process.
· Help the students understand that the collaborative process (social relationships and context under which the problem solution is designed) is a normal an aspect of the problem itself.
· Hold the students accountable to manage their progress.
· Help the students improve their soft skills.
Specific tasks for the mentor
· Initially confirm the scope of work, deliverables and schedule with the student team and the instructors.
· Guide students in preparations of proposals and "interview" presentations.
· Guide students in preparation of the Preliminary Report.
· Guide students in the development of plans and specifications.
· Guide students in developing schedule, implementation strategy and opinion of probable costs.
· Guide students in the preparation of mid-term and final presentation to judges.
· Attend end of semester debrief with team.
· Complete an ABET assessment form.
Mentors are expected to review the ABET criteria and prescribed outcomes posted on the class web site. Mentors will be asked to complete an assessment form at the end of the semester to assess if the students are meeting or exceeding these ABET outcomes.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact:
Professor of Practice Michael Doran at email@example.com
or Professor of Practice Charles Quagliana at email@example.com
