METAIRIE, La. It's not that you can call Martez Wilson prophetic.
More like a dreamer, one who saw a future and found a way to make it happen.
Nearly a decade ago, in a middle school classroom in Illinois, a young Wilson meandering through a life in the projects of Chicago had a dream.
'My teachers used to tell you write down what you want to be five or 10 years from now,' Wilson said. 'I said, 'I'm going to be in the NFL.' '
He added, 'And I'm in the NFL.'
Indeed, he is.
And that was no more evident than on Oct. 7, when he nearly helped San Diego along on a potential game-tying drive to driving a stake in the Chargers' hopes. He did so by helping to lift the New Orleans Saints to a 31-24 win with a clutch strip-sack and fumble recovery in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter.
'Martez is a pass rusher,' interim head coach Aaron Kromer said. 'That's why he's here.'
Wilson has only three tackles this season, but his biggest one came in the San Diego game. He also has five special teams tackles and one blocked punt.
It was a make-up play to end all make-up plays. Seven plays earlier, the Chargers faced a nearly hopeless second-and-37 at their own 28. Philip Rivers threw an incomplete pass setting San Diego up for third-and-long.
But Wilson was called for an illegal use of hands penalty, negating the incomplete pass and giving San Diego a fresh set of downs. The Chargers eventually moved to the Saints' 33 with 19 seconds to play, needing a touchdown to tie the game.
On third-and-10, though, Wilson saw that San Diego left tackle Jared Gaither was limping. While he didn't know that Gaither had a groin injury, he knew that the offensive lineman could be had.
'From my point of view, I'm like, 'OK, I'm going to beat him with speed now. He's tired. We're all tired,' ' Wilson said. 'I just used speed. It worked out for the best but hey, that's football.'
It was a veteran move to get to Rivers, strip him of the football and pounce on the loose ball.
'What he did on both those plays is he basically edge rushed and dipped his shoulder knowing that the offensive lineman couldn't defend it and then he turned the corner,' Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said.'Now that's some ability and some in-flight adjusting in the game knowing that. He smelled blood in the water and he took advantage of it. That was huge.'
Wilson won't apologize for his aggressive play, saying that not only is it in his genes, but it's his payoff from coming from very little.
'Rough,' Wilson said of where he grew up. 'Times in high heat. Now I'm able to support my family, helping them out. They don't ever have to worry about that no more. It's a long way for me. I look on that and just use that as motivation.'
Wilson says you can't underestimate just how big that play was for him in the grand scheme of things. It's one thing to do it practice. But a game? That's a completely different story.
'During the game?' Wilson pondered. 'Now you know it's real. It counts.'
The play was just another step in Wilson's transition from linebacker, where the Saints drafted him to play out of Illinois in the third round of the 2011 draft, to defensive end under Spagnuolo.
He hasn't played end since high school and has to learn keys from offensive linemen as well as pass rush moves. Everything has sped up, he said.
He's a long way away from the projects in Chicago, where as a youngster he planned on being in the position he's in today.
'(The) plan involved no particular college. I just planned on getting here,' Wilson said. 'That was the plan. I didn't know at the time how I was going to do it, but that's why you learn to live through events you've experienced.'
He credits Robert Beverly, his middle school basketball and high school football coach for getting him to this point, where he's a member of a small fraternity.
'There's 53 players on a team every year,' Wilson said. 'And I get to be a part of that 53-man. That's a chip you should have every game, something you could be proud about.'

Building Blocks for a Diverse Library Collection
Today's teens make up the most diverse generation in our history—are you ready for them? With challenges including parent complaints, contending with user demand, and maintaining a nuanced and diverse collection, we know that collection building can be a complicated and even daunting feat for any young adult librarian. But what does it mean to have a "diverse" collection, and what role does the community play in young adult collection building? Join YALSA for a discussion on how to build a diverse young adult collection. Presenter Chelsea Condren will provide a working definition of the term diversity, strategies for understanding user demand and interest, and ways to ensure a collection is diverse while still meeting the needs of the population. Participants will receive a handout that outlines strategies for collection building/management, selection and weeding of diverse titles, as well as a list of recommended materials.

Land Surveying Courses and Classes Overview
Discover what education paths are available so that you can become a land surveyor. Read about the topics in land surveying classes, which are at various program levels.
Essential Information
Land surveyors establish boundaries of land, water and airspace to determine property ownership. Land surveying courses prepare students for professional surveying licensure exams. Classes or programs are often found in engineering, architecture or geography departments. Many land surveying classes are part of geomatics programs at colleges and universities, but there are also 1-year certificate and 2-year associate's degree programs in land surveying. In addition to a high school diploma or GED, land surveying programs may ask for related work experience, a certain GPA and the completion of prerequisite coursework.
The core curriculum is similar at both education levels, but additional general education classes are included in the associate's degree program. One of the requirements is some sort of hands-on work, such as an internship or capstone. Distance learning and bachelor's degree programs in the field are other options for aspiring land surveyors.
List of Land Surveying Classes
Review a list of some of the classes included in a land surveying program.
Introduction to Land Surveying Course
This first course in a land surveying program includes discussion of land ownership, property rights, laws governing property and definitions of land ownership and other surveying related terms. Students research property ownership through property records. Maps are used to establish property boundaries. Students may be introduced to primary tools for surveying and making maps, such as field equipment, mapping and GIS (geographic information systems) software, GPS (global positioning system) handhelds and computer aided design.
Computations Course
Using coordinate geometry, instruction is focused on computations necessary to identify survey points on land. Spherical coordinates and Cartesian coordinate systems are discussed. In this course students use advanced computations and thus trigonometry is a prerequisite.
Advanced Course
This highly technical class introduces the concept of creating a flat map, a plane, to describe a curved surface. Geodesy, measuring the shape of the Earth, is introduced. Students learn how to use the North Star to determine direction. Determining errors in precision measurement is covered. This course is one of the last courses taken in a land surveying program.
Plane Surveying Course
Plane surveying introduces students to the skills and technological knowledge required for working in the field. Students learn how to measure, calculate and record direction, distance and elevation using standard field equipment; advanced skills are taught through projects in which students use GPS for data collection and geometric calculations to measure curves. Prerequisites for this technical course are beginning land surveying and trigonometry.
Legal Course
This course is taken after the introduction to land surveying course and plane surveying have been completed. Students practice interpreting and preparing land descriptions for titles according to the U.S. Public Land Survey System. Additional topics include boundary dispute case law, senior rights and title transfers. Strong reading skills are required for this course, which is based on the interpretation and analysis of often complex legal concepts and language.
Public Land Survey System Course
The Public Land Survey System is a U.S. government maintained database of public land. Students interpret data and maps from this survey system to identify and survey public lands. Data quality issues are discussed. This course may be an elective.

OLYMPIA - The House of Representatives this past Wednesday passed a measure to improve communications during a wildfire, one of a series of bills aimed at addressing wildfire response.
House Bill 2667, sponsored by Rep. Bruce Chandler, would help various responders communicate with each other by requiring a specified radio channel be used for fire response during a wildfire.
"How we respond to wildfires, especially in sagebrush, is important to public safety and to the protection of property," said Chandler, R-Granger. "This legislation improves communication between emergency personnel to respond more quickly and more effectively to a wildfire."
Chandler said several groups and many citizens had input on this and another bill aimed at improving wildfire response.
"This is not just about jurisdictional authority, it's about putting out fires while they are smaller and before they do more damage, protecting property and people," Chandler said.
The House passed the bill 96-0. It now goes to the Senate for consideration. House Bill 2549, a bill to improve fire protection outside fire districts, awaits action by the House Rules Committee before it can be scheduled for a vote of the full House.

Help with compiling kernel/module
Hi i just recently installed Red Hat 9. I have a biostar motherboard with the nforce2 chipset. I am having problems compiling the kernel. If i make it so the agpgart is including i get this error compiling it. If i make it as a module the kernel will compile fine, but the module will not. This is the error below.
agpgart_be.c: In function `nvidia_generic_setup':
agpgart_be.c:4347: structure has no member named `num_of_masks'
agpgart_be.c: At top level:
agpgart_be.c:680: warning: `agp_generic_insert_memory' defined but not used
agpgart_be.c:742: warning: `agp_generic_remove_memory' defined but not used
make[3]: *** [agpgart_be.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers/char/agp'

make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_char] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2
Now do i need to actually compile the module? Or has it already been installed? I am running 2.4.20-8 kernel and had rebuilt the source rpm and patched the kernel as NVIDIA's instructions said. So if anyone has suggestions, it would be very much appreciated.
I read the forums and noticed something about it not working with red hat kernels, so i went and got the source for vanilla 2.4.20-9 and got the nvidia rpm for it , instead of rebuilding like i did before, and i get the exact same error :-(. Please if anybody has a suggestion i could really use it.

Look for a good fit.
In any team sport, a lot of time is spent choosing the players who will play in each game.
The selection process also involves deciding the position where each team member will play, based on the player's skill, form (current ability to perform well) and the likely opposition that the team will face.
Just as this is true in sport, it is true in business. Leaders need to select the right people for the right jobs, and assign them tasks that fit with their skills and proficiencies. This provides structure.
So how do you do this? To field a match-winning team, first you need to understand the game that has to be played and the skills and abilities required to play it: There's no point asking a football team to play baseball if you want to win at the top level.
Then you have to place the correct player in the correct position. Mere common sense, you would think – but then, as the old quip goes, "common sense is often quite uncommon".
Here we give you the four-step "BALM" method to achieve correct role allocation:

A look at a company that changed the world
The grandma check is a cherished tradition
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Leading semiconductor provider for wired and wireless
communications, Broadcom (
), reported its Q3 2013 earnings on October 22.
Our price estimate of $41 for Broadcom
is at a significant premium to the current market price of $27 and
we continue to believe in the company's long-term growth potential.
We are in the process of updating our valuation to incorporate the
Q3 2013 earnings.
Recap of Q3 2013 Earnings
Earning $2.15 billion in revenues the company witnessed a 2.7%
q-o-q and a 0.8% y-o-y growth in its top-line, much in line with
its expectation. Broadcom earned a gross profit of 51.4% in Q3 2013
as compared to 50% and 50.7% in Q3 2012 and Q2 2013, respectively,
as it benefited from stronger than expected mix and a decline in
its excess and obsolete inventory.
While Broadcom registered an 11% and 5% sequential growth in
networking and handset segments respectively, its broadband
communication business was roughly flat. Anticipating the
short-term headwinds to impact its growth, Broadcom estimates a
sequential decline in all its business segments - baseband,
broadband and networking - in the current quarter. However, it
accepts growth to accelerate in 2014 backed by the LTE
certification early next year, continued strength in data
center as well as rising 5G Wi-Fi and other multiple technology
See Our Complete Analysis for Broadcom Here
Broadcom To Retain Its Connectivity Share With
Growing 5G WiFi Penetration
Broadcom's wireless connectivity sales were roughly flat
sequentially as it underwent a channel inventory correction
and a mix shift towards 802.11 in the quarter. The 15% q-o-q
growth in its WiFi combo and rising NFC sales were offset by lower
discreet connectivity revenue. Broadcom believes that the mix shift
is a short-term trend and claims that its customers are firmly
committed to 5G Wi-Fi. It expects higher 5G Wi-Fi penetration
in 2014.
With a 32.8% market share, Broadcom has been the leader in
connectivity solutions for many years. In the last few months, it
lost a number of low cost smartphone sockets to Qualcomm (
), including the HTC One Mini, Samsung Galaxy S IV Mini, and
the Motorola X, which had raised doubts about its capability to
retain share in the wireless connectivity market. However, the
company claims that its connectivity market share remain
stable as it won designs from new customers that offset the
loss of a few handsets.
In addition to its strength in connectivity technologies - 5G
Wi-Fi and NFC - Broadcom is investing in emerging growth
opportunities in nascent market for Internet of things and
wearables. We believe it will continue to retain its market
share in connectivity solutions over our forecast period.
LTE Certification To Expand Presence In The Baseband
Currently, Broadcom does not have a very large customer base for
its 3G business and accounts for only 3% of the mobile baseband and
application processor market. However, we believe the LTE
certification will help expand the company's foothold in the
baseband market. Of the various technologies that are driving
the market currently, LTE is seeing the strongest growth as
carriers around the world increasingly shift to the new standard
for wireless communication.
Broadcom announced its first LTE-compatible baseband chip
earlier this year. It claims it to be 35% smaller compared to
current products making it the industry's smallest 4G LTE chip
in the market. Earlier this month, Broadcom closed its
acquisition of the LTE-related assets of Japanese chipmaker Renesas
Electronics. The deal gives Broadcom access
to a dual-core LTE SoC that is ready for volume
production and is carrier-validated by leading global
operators in North America, Japan and Europe. Broadcom claims
that the acquisition of LTE-assets from Renesas will help it
accelerate the production of its first multimode,
carrier-validated LTE SoC platform into early 2014.
"Our goal is to introduce a quad core LTE platform next year
and the driver LTE technology toward the leadership platform to
enable us to cover the complete spectrum of LTE devices. We're
poised to gain share in 4G LTE starting in early 2014."
Strong Growth In Infrastructure & Networking
Earnings $564 million in revenues Broadcom saw continued
strength in its infrastructure and networking segment. The data
center business grew by more than 20% in 2012 and the company
expects a similar growth rate for 2013 as well. Data center remains
a strong growth driver for the company with
Broadcom's leadership in high density Ethernet switch. Its
next generation Trident II is now in volume production and
Broadcom expects the same to contribute to its growth momentum in
networking through next year.
Equipped with NetLogic's leading multi-core embedded processor
solution, Broadcom has managed to expand its potential addressable
market and earn higher revenue from the infrastructure and
networking market. We believe that the upward trend will continue
in the future as well.
Q4 2013 Outlook
- Net revenue in the range of $1.79 billion to $1.98
billion, +/- 3%.
- GAAP and non-GAAP product gross margin to be down
approximately 0.5% to 1%.
- Non-GAAP and GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses to
increase by $40 million to $60 million.

We developed prediction rules to guide the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in two community-based cohort studies (the Religious Orders Study and the Rush Memory and Aging Project). The rules were implemented without informant interviews, neuroimaging, blood work or routine case conferencing. Autopsies were performed at death and the pathologic diagnosis of AD made with a modified version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) criteria. We compared the positive predictive value of the clinical diagnosis in the two community-based studies to the positive predictive value of the clinical diagnosis of AD made by standard clinical practice in a clinic-based cohort study using AD pathology as the gold standard. Of 306 clinic cases with probable AD, 286 (93.5%) met CERAD neuropathologic criteria for AD; the results were comparable for those with possible AD (51 of 54, 94.4%). Of 141 study subjects with probable AD, 130 (92.2%) met CERAD neuropathologic criteria for AD; the results were lower but acceptable for those with possible AD (26 of 37, 70.3%). The results were similar in secondary analyses using alternate neuropathologic criteria for AD. The clinical diagnosis of AD can be made in community-based studies without the use of informant interviews, neuroimaging, blood work or routine case conferencing. This approach holds promise for reducing the operational costs of epidemiologic studies of aging and AD.

NEWBERRY — Notorious Booker joined six of his senior teammates by signing to play prep basketball next fall. On Monday he inked his commitment to Spartanburg Methodist College where he plans to study sports medicine.
He said having former Newberry Bulldogs such as Kaheem Praylow and Jeremy Summers on the Pioneers' roster added to the comfort level he had with his decision.
"It's good to go where I know a few folks," he said. "But it's a way different program with a slower tempo offense."
The coaches plan to use Booker at shooting guard and small forward.
"It feels great that these student-athletes are getting into school," NHS Assistant Coach Adonis Hill said. "More important than their maturation as basketball players is their maturing as men (much of which they did while playing for us at NHS). They play and work hard, something they learned from our 2008 team that reached the state finals."
So far as Hill knew, having seven of nine seniors sign to play prep basketball was a record for Newberry High School.

The location
The breakfast was a disappoointment
It was close to our destination.
it was clean and comfortable and fairly modern.
The location is excellent for the visiting we do.
Only one clerk to help at the front desk, the check out had a tour load of people , so the main person had differnet list of charges i stood in line for 15 mintues . Then someone behing me asked loudly just want to check out and the clerk said leave room
Front desk people need to be more helpful and more professional
A very pleasant surprise,much better than my wife and I expected.
A kitchenette was part of the room;but no pots and pana in site,,
Great value, nice size room, good location, friendly atmosphere.
Kitchen could have been a little cleaner. Extra towels were needed.
We loved the spacious rooms, heated pool, beautiful scenery, quaint, secure, fun. Front desk had wonderful service, housekeeping was on point.

There was not a thing that I disliked
Accomdations were great
They ran out of coffee at 7:40 AM and would not have anymore. Had to drive out to get some. Not good...

We thought we were biding on a place closer to the border of Mexico. I checked Weslaco but we stayed in Mercedes which was about 4 miles down the freeway.
The people were very friendly and everything was very clean
Breakfast buffet could include bacon and sausage
Clean, clean, clean -- loved that
absoulty cause we were placed in the handicap room and it had all the facilities
not enough shampoos and soaps
Not far from friends and family but will not stay their again...I rather have stayed farther away with better service.
The bed was dirty with hair and blood stains and the water was scorching hot and had to get fixed on Xmas Day, The staff was not considerate to us for having to endure the inconvenience and not willing to give any kind of compensation.
Room bathroom decor was nice. Clean. Interior design exceed expectations
No cappet. (during this time of year made for cold walking.
was very clean and updated has a picnic area
pool is kinda small but very nice

Linux 4.1 Power Consumption Appears To Improve For Intel Users
A Red Hat developer mentioned to us at Phoronix that they're seeing "drastically improved battery life" in some cases with the Linux 4.1 kernel to the extent that it's up to 2~4 hours of extra battery life with the kernel upgrade to Git. I've since started some fresh Linux laptop battery tests.

Lenovo ThinkPad T450s Broadwell Preview
This is a "first impression" review. I've had the system in my hands for all of about twenty-four hours and am still exploring and forming more solid opinions. Also any problems I had likely do have solutions, but as I said: less than forty-eight hours of ownership so I haven't had a chance to. Linux-centric system review will follow this weekend / next week.

Turning A Basement Into A Big Linux Server Room
This week I posted about my new server room, where there's Linux benchmarks constantly happening on the Linux kernel and other open-source code via the Phoronix Test Suite and Phoromatic. With many Phoronix readers having been interested in the basement makeover I did to turn a ugly, boring basement into a clean server room, here's more details and pictures on the month-long renovation along with various tips and product recommendations from the experience. This server room is now almost up to 50 systems and is complete with a drink bar and projector. There's plenty of pictures and details for those hoping to build their own personal basement server room, including a few tips for increasing the wife acceptance factor of the big project.

CompuLab Intense-PC2: An Excellent, Fanless, Mini PC Powered By Intel's i7 Haswell
Last month in a preview article I mentioned I was testing CompuLab's Intense-PC2 and that it was a great Haswell-based mini Linux PC. After using it now for another month and putting it through its paces with many strenuous benchmarking workloads and trying out other Linux distributions, I remain enthusiastic about the Intense-PC2 and it being a great offering for Linux (and even Windows/BSD) users.

From The Atom 330 To Haswell ULT: Intel Linux Performance Benchmarks
For the past month I've been testing out the CompuLab Intense-PC2 and it's been a terrific, small, Linux PC. The Intense-PC2 is packed with a low-power "Haswell ULT" Core i7 4600U processor and for some fresh Linux benchmarks I compared it to the former Sandy Bridge Core i7 3517UE and Intel Bay Trail Celeron N2820 NUC. For making things real interesting, I also ran some new benchmarks on an aging Intel Atom 330 system to show how the Intel low-power performance has been improving in recent years.

Selland Arena is a multi-purpose arena built in 1966 that makes up part of a four-venue complex of the Fresno Convention and Entertainment Center in Fresno, California. It is named after former Fresno mayor Arthur L. Selland and has had over ten million people walk through its doors in its over forty-year history.[4] The arena originally had a 6,582 seating capacity, but a US$10 million expansion project in 1981 increased the seating to its current capacity of 10,132.[4] Before the 1997-1998 Fresno State basketball season, capacity was increased to 10,220.[5] The Selland Arena underwent an additional $15 million renovation in November 2006, that included the installation of new seats, a new video replay scoreboard, message boards and a new ice-cooling system for hockey games.[6]
Currently, the arena is operated by SMG under contract from the City of Fresno.
The arena is home to the Fresno Monsters Tier II Jr. A & Tier III Jr. A ice hockey teams of the North American Hockey League and Western States Hockey League. On January 27, 2010, the Fresno Monsters hockey team agreed to a contract extension, to play at the arena, through the 2012–2013 hockey season. The arena will host 32 home games, combined with the North American Hockey League and Western States Hockey League teams, during the 2012–2013 hockey season.
Notable events[edit]
Selland Arena has hosted concerts, conventions, ice shows, youth sports, professional sports, motocross, rodeo, religious events, graduations, and community events.
Notable events that have taken place at the arena include: the tour opening July 19, 1974 Grateful Dead show, WWF Royal Rumble 1996, Fully Loaded 1998, concerts by many major rock and popular music groups and talents, including Deep Purple, Yes, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Metallica, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, ABBA, and Garth Brooks.
Van Halen performed, on two consecutive nights, during their For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour on May 14–15, 1992, which were recorded and later released as a live album, entitled Live: Right Here, Right Now.
It also has hosted the California Interscholastic Federation Central Section Basketball Finals since 2004 and the annual California Future Farmers of America State Conference.

Critical Essay by Julian Symons
Tart, cool, devoted to "a poetry which may again become anonymous," Rosewicz writes about a ruined world and the fragmentation of personality. His poems written from the museum at Auschwitz [and collected in Faces of Anxiety,] concentrate upon details like the pockets of children bound for the gas chambers "bulging / with string and stones / and little horses made of wire." "Et in Arcadia Ego," a long poem about a visit to Italy, expresses through a series of vivid contrasts the inability of a poet brought up in wartime Poland to accept the paradise around him. Rosewicz's work is not unlike that of his fellow countryman Zbigniew Herbert, but it is sharper, less tender, and uncompromisingly against all "poetic" flourishes, which he sees as deceits…. (p. 557)

Chiefs going back to Cassel at QB
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
Matt Cassel is getting another chance to be the Chiefs' starting quarterback.
NFL fans are a special breed, and they bring their own brand of craziness on game day.
Cassel will start Thursday night's game at San Diego because Brady Quinn has not been cleared to practice due to a concussion, regaining the starting job - at least for one week - that he lost after a dismal five-game stretch to start the season.
Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel announced Tuesday that Quinn will not be available, and that Ricky Stanzi will serve as the backup. Fullback Nate Eachus was also ruled out with a concussion.
''They will continue with their testing and evaluation and will return when the doctor releases them, and lets us know they're OK,'' said Crennel, adding that doctors haven't told him how long Quinn might be out.
Cassel was scuffling along until he sustained his own concussion a few weeks ago against Baltimore. Quinn took over for a loss to Tampa Bay, and Crennel made the move permanent during the bye week in hopes of igniting a struggling offense.
HARD EIGHTReady for more hard-hitting fun? Another week of action is here and we have the best images.
He never got much chance to see whether it worked.
Quinn was hurt in the first quarter of Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Oakland Raiders, though it's unclear when the injury occurred. He was sacked by Rolando McClain and then took another shot while floating a pass that was picked off by Matt Giordano.
Quinn left the field and went down the tunnel leading to the locker rooms, and Crennel said a trainer told him at that point that Quinn had sustained a ''head injury'' and was unavailable.
Cassel played the rest of way, completing 20 of 30 passes for 218 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It was the 10th pick that he's thrown in parts of six games this season.
''I'm excited to be playing,'' Cassel said. ''As I said last week, my approach doesn't change. I'm going to go out (and) I'm going to work hard. It's unfortunate for Brady, but at the same time, we have to move forward. It's a short week. Preparation has to be put in.''
WHO SETS THE CURVE?Check out the FOXiest fans from stadiums across the country and tweet us your photo.
Cassel, who signed a $63 million, six-year deal in 2009, said he doesn't harbor any ill will toward Crennel over his benching. Cassel also said he doesn't find it uncomfortable that he's regained the starting job on a temporary basis almost by default.
''I don't look at it that way,'' Cassel said. ''No matter what my position is, I'm going to be the same guy, and I think that's the reason I was able to go in there and execute at a high level Sunday. I was ready and my approach was the same.''
Cassel said he wasn't sure whether coming off the bench changed his perspective, but his coach indicated that the decision may ultimately help Cassel from a mental standpoint.
''Sometimes a second chance energizes a guy,'' Crennel said. ''He wants to do well, and whatever role he was in, he didn't like it, but he said, `I'm going to do my job. I'm a Chief, and I'm going to be ready if I'm called on.''
The Chiefs (1-6) could certainly use a little energy. They've lost four straight overall and still have not led in regulation this season, making them the first NFL team since at least 1940 to play seven games without taking an offensive snap with the lead, according to STATS LLC.
STAR POWERWho needs Hollywood? If you want to see celebrities, just check out the stands at an NFL game.
They've also turned the ball over a league-leading 25 times after four turnovers Sunday.
Cassel has responsible for two more on Sunday when he fumbled a snap early in the second half that led to a field goal by Oakland. He's committed 16 turnovers by himself, which puts him ahead of all but three teams in the league: Dallas, Buffalo and Philadelphia.
''He knows he's going to have to play, and he's going to do the best he can,'' Crennel said. ''We have to help him as well, and if we all take the same attitude we'll be successful.''
Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said it helps, given the short week, that Cassel was the starter when the Chiefs played San Diego earlier this season. Cassel committed three turnovers in the game, but he'll be familiar with the Chargers' schemes and personnel.
''He's preparing himself like a pro to be ready to go in this football game,'' Daboll said. ''He's got a good attitude, he's taken Brady being put ahead of him well. If you ask him, I'm sure he's anxious, excited for the opportunity.''

Police in Arvada are seeking the public's help in finding vandals who hacked away, likely with an axe, at the base of two mature cottonwood trees on a golf course.
The vandalism was reported Tuesday when an employee mowing the Cottonwood course of the West Woods Golf Club spotted the damaged trees near the 14th tee, according to an Arvada media release.
The trees are valued at $2,500.
The golf club is offering a $250 reward for information leading to an arrest.
"The vandalism will impact our budget, since there is significant cost to replace the trees, as well as remove the ones that were needlessly destroyed," stated Jim Wilkins, manager of golf course operations. "It does not make sense to act in such a manner."
Anyone with information on the vandalism, or on possible suspects, is asked to call Arvada police at 720 898-6900.

It is, we are certain, designed to generate outrage, incur wrath and mock outrageous government spending. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has released his 2013 version of "Wastebook," a chronicle of what he calls "wasteful and low-priority" federal spending that comes in at a total of $28 billion worth of extravagance.
Now, $28 billion isn't going to break the bank; it's roughly 0.7 percent of the $3.8 trillion spent by the federal government this year. Yet it is indicative of the much larger issue that plagues governments on all levels — not enough attention is paid to how much we spend and where we spend it. As we frequently are reminded, it is all too easy for government officials to not worry about nickels and dimes because it's not their nickels and dimes; those nickels and dimes come from taxpayers. So, Coburn put together his annual list of outrage, providing a 175-page document that includes 100 examples of egregious spending and 930 footnotes.
There is, for example, the $360,000 that NASA spent on Pillownauts, paying 20 people $18,000 apiece to literally lie around for 70 days. Nice work if you can get it. NASA officials say the bed rest study "will help scientists learn how an astronaut's body will change in weightlessness during space flight in the future." That could be beneficial -- if the United States ever revives its space program.
And then there is the $415,000 designed to promote wine tours and wine tastings in China. Because, we're guessing, there are many, many, many Chinese who American wineries could sell wine to if only the Chinese would drink more wine. Part of the program will bring Chinese wine connoisseurs to Washington state to meet with local winemakers -- provided that American prodding can help create some Chinese wine connoisseurs.
And then there is Alaska's infamous Bridge to Nowhere, for which the state spent $2.9 million of federal money this year to clear an expansive right of way. The billion-dollar Knik Arm Bridge likely will never be built, but it probably will continue to be symbolic of wasteful government for years to come.
Not all of Coburn's "Wastebook" honorees are of the nickle-and-dime variety. He highlights $379 million spent "Building, Promoting an Insurance Plan Few Want and a Website that Doesn't Work." And he mentions the $400 million in back pay delivered to employees who were furloughed during the partial government shutdown: "More than 100,000 non-essential federal employees being paid a salary of at least $100,000 were furloughed as non-essential. Each of these was paid $4,000 for the time off work during the shutdown."
But while questions still linger about why the federal government has so many workers who could be deemed non-essential, the foibles pointed out in "Wastebook" tend to turn the discussion away from the meaningful and toward the trivial. There's no question that spending by the federal government is out of hand; you don't create a $17 trillion debt (more than $6.4 trillion of it incurred under President Obama) if you are employing sound fiscal policy.
The federal government's annual discretionary spending amounts to about $1.2 trillion, and roughly half of that goes to the Department of Defense. In addition, the United States spends more on its military than the defense expenditures of the next 13 highest nations combined. Sooner or later, Washington, D.C., is going to have to make some hard decisions regarding spending. But the difficult part probably won't deal with wine tasting in China.
