I can mentor on the restricted execution topic since that is going to
be covered by my dissertation.  I just will need to ask that the
student not use it to base further research that is meant to lead to
publication since that would lead to publication competition between
me and the student.

But if no student takes that one up I can still mentor one student,
but I didn't feel I did a spectacular job last summer either.  Then
again, if my host at Google wants me to spend my working hours being a
good mentor I could possibly be convinced to make sure I get assigned
one student (two turned out to be too much).  =)
