Not sure if you are still reading the answers...
1) Assign 1 or 2 top dogs to drill in and learn MVC, your strongest bench players willing to master it
2) Become familiar with the core concepts yourself
3) Start the project in the most UNUSUAL way. By doing a lot more analysis of the customers needs.
Whatever process you are going to follow, start it, and start putting together what it is that you need to build.
4) Identify the proper metaphor for the software your are going to build, that will help frame it for everyone on the team.
Now, with a decent understanding of what your are going to build. The fact that you need a Model, a View and a Controller. Assign your team to write a DISPOSABLE version of the prototype. Group people into the teams, and the top 2 people from the beginning will work across the entire design.
Write it, make it work. Code Reviews. and a Solid Postmortem to review everything they have learned.
Now, do it again, from scratch. Throw it away.
Now, do it for the last time, and add everything in via iterations or whatever process you follow. I find that the cohesion derived from having a team work together, make something work, and then throwing it away and doing it a second and third time tends to produce BOTH a great product and a GREAT team.
Finally, DO NOT share these steps with management... They will NEVER UNDERSTAND!
Besides the goal is not to learn ASP.NET MVC in 15 days. The goal is to be able to start producing MVC using ASP.NET in 15 days, and even more importantly, to become very good at it in the long run. I think this should accomplish that.

Legitimate company with a .US TLD?
These days every single email I receive with a .us top level domain is spam or a virus. I'm considering creating a filter to automatically delete anything from a .us address, but I don't want to inadvertently block anything I might actually want to receive.
Any ideas?

bootleggers.us seems to be a legitimate game, oddly mostly played by Dutch people.
I used to play it back in high school, and surprisingly it still exists. From what I remember, it wasn't especially great. Just an other text-based online multiplayer RPG.

Blimey. That is all I can say without spoiling it for others. Just wow. The story changed today.

Everything changed!
And the end was magnificent!
WOW!

There were so many great bits. The curator was a real highlight for me. And the promise of the Christmas Special is something to look forward to.

I love Dr. Who as well (from Episode 1 until now) but this episode was still poor. It was just a contrived mess. And Tom Baker? WTF? How does that work then???

Yeah I saw Google has a "whatever they call their daily deal" deciation to the 50th anniversary of Dr. Who.

That was not what I expected; not good at all. A wasted opportunity.

I haven't watched Dr. Who for years, so I was really not up to speed with the general storyline or characters, but I thought it a great production. Apart from the computer simulated battle scenes which were a bit OTT.

I agree, blimey!
I like that they changed history (normally a very bad idea) but in a way one could accept as reasonable, feasible, and absolutely the right thing to do.
Tom Baker as the curator was nice although it made no sense that he was older than he ever was before his regeneration.
The detailed "computer displays" of the battle were a little silly with power shots flying back and forth like some kind of video game but otherwise the show was excellent.
I think everybody would be happy with it (unless your name ends with "Merrens").
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

LOL: to be happy it had be good. Given the source material this was not a great effort. Davies was a far better story teller than Moffat is and it would have been darker and s little less of a CBBC type effort.
