Somehow, some way, this has got to stop. I don't know the answer, but at least I have an idea.
Once again this weekend, somebody started a wild, unfounded rumor on one of the infamous "chat rooms" so prevalent on the internet. Reportedly, it originated at the "Bama on Line" site. I assume it was an Alabama fan who started the potentially-damaging story about LSU coach Les Miles having an improper relationship with a student and that he would be forced to resign on March 4. I don't know a Tide backer started it, for anyone can get on to one of the message boards. Could've been an Ole Miss supporter, Arkansas, Auburn or Idaho for that matter.
The administration at LSU didn't even bother to recognize the gossip-magazine material, a denial all unto itself. But that didn't stop Twitter, Google and every other information-swapping medium on the web from exploding. Somebody's "source" had leaked the info, therefore it was absolutely true.
For the life of me, especially with everyone blaming the media for everything from the outcome of presidential elections to where a kid plays college football, I don't know why so many apparently have a secret desire to be a sports writer. It's incredible. The only credentials required? Can you get on line? Voila, you're an official "blogger."
Want to know the ironic thing about this latest attack on someone's character? None other than Paul Bryant sued "The Saturday Evening Post" and famed Atlanta Constitution writer Furman Bisher for something the self-appointed writers are apparently foreign to in terms of controlling malarkey, libel. Bisher's source claimed he overheard Bryant and Georgia coach Wally Butts fixing a game via the telephone. Bryant went on state-wide television to refute the story, then sued Bisher and the magazine and won hundreds of thousands of dollars, effectively squashing the Post and casting a credibility doubt in Bisher's work that some in the industry say followed him to his end.
I can only imagine the late Bear's reaction to today's world of so-called journalism. Yes, it was a totally different era. Writers drank, dined and played golf with their subjects then, each other's private lives guarded in an unspoken pact. Trusted members of Bryant's inner circle of media members even knew about the shocking change to the wishbone prior to the upset of Southern Cal in 1971, yet didn't breathe a word. Imagine that today? No wonder we only get to see the first 15 minutes of practice now.
Let there be no misunderstanding. This isn't an indictment of every piece of information that originates on the Internet. People know players and others personally, and sometimes they talk out of school. Bobby Petrino's downfall was justifiable, and it was born on the Internet. If it had existed 20 years ago, maybe Joe Paterno wouldn't have condoned the horrific nature of the crimes going on in his own facilities. In fact, I knew conclusively that the Mike Price scandal at Alabama was going to break well before it did. I had a Tuscaloosa restaurant owner faxing me copies of his credit card usage, which indicated he was spending university money partying it up with students and anyone within reach in his first few weeks on campus. Then came Pensacola.
But to assassinate someone's character, potentially cause irreparable damage to his family and sanity is flat out wrong. Yes, Miles is a public figure, leaving him virtually unprotected against untruths. But libel is libel, something some reckless chat room users should be required to familiarize themselves with or else face another fate. They should be sued to kingdom come, either losing or coming so close to financial ruin they understand being a legitimate writer carries a responsibility, not an entitlement.

I dont have 2 drives in front of me to test but I had similar experience. In windows explorer go to c: and right click, go to manage. Go to disk management and right click on the drive not showing up (I forget what it calls it, something like disk X, X being drive number of some sort) and click on line. When 2 simalar drives are connected you have to manually put the 2nd one online. I wish I had the 2 drives in front of me, as I could explain in full detail. I hope you get it.
This is a very interesting report of identical HDD-related problems. I cannot reproduce the reported problems on identical WD Passports 320, 500gb; WD 1tb My Books, or WD 1 tb Digital Elements. I might have 2 1tb Buffalo HDDs, but After testing all the WD HDDs for which I had 2 units, I think I can't duplicate the problem; sorry.
I don't know if the formatting, mapping of drive, etc has any impact on the problem, but I formatted all drives as written up in my Loading, playing...HDD guide ( http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...tmod-only.html).
Seems interesting and convincing! I'll see if I can get it to work with my next drive purchase or if a friend gets one like my current one. When I had the issue I just tried changing the drive letter and was unsuccessful, so just kept the drive that was a bit different then the normal black 500gb's I get. Will be sure to test as soon as I get my hands on one and report back the outcome! Regardless, thanks for the advice.....hope it works.
i have 2 x 1TB western digital elements, i only use elements drives for backing up, never had one fail me, both formatted in wbfs manager, both full, 1 is g:/ and the other is f:/ i can use both connected at same time in wbfs manager on my dell laptop with win 7, can format and copy both, separately or together, can clone, delete.
also have a 2TB western digital elements dual formatted ntfs/wbfs... and again works in wbfs manger and wii back up manager...
sounds like your win 7 is having difficultly, opening the drives parameters to me, btw you are using admin rights aren't you?
have you tried using wii back up manager???
3.4e, v21d2x6, Priiloader-0.3b, Usb-configurable v73c, 2tb-WD Elements HDD Fat32
If I have helped you do remember to press the little thanks button
Useful guides!!read the guides knowledge is power!!!!
I came into the problem again, and found an easy solution. Almost to easy. Where I found it can be located HERE. Image was found on Western Digital's Knowledge Base : Frequently Asked Questions page. Should help some people out, as it did me.
^^stmcmurray76 above had the idea, but look below for detailed instructions.
When connecting two WD external hard drives of the same capacity to a computer running Windows 7, only one of the drives can be accessed. When each drive is connected seperately, they can be accessed, but only the first drive plugged in to the computer will be visible when both drives are plugged in.
This issue is caused by the two drives having identical signatures, leading to a Signature Collision. This is different from the drive's serial number, which is always unique.
Normally the Operating System (Such as Windows XP and Windows Vista) will automatically correct the issue when the second drive is connected. However, in Windows 7, this does not occur. When using Windows 7, please follow the steps below to give one of the drives a new unique signature.
Warning: Follow these steps carefully. Improper use of Windows Disk Managment tool can result in permanent loss of data.
- Connect each drive (one at a time) and create a backup of any data you may already have stored on the device.
- Connect both drives to the computer.
- Open the Start Menu, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter
- On the lower part of the Disk Management window, look for a disk which is listed as Offline.
- Verify that you have a Signature Collision by holding your mouse over the drive. You will receive a pop-up explaining why the drive is offline.
- Right click on the disk in the area that says Offline, and select Online
- The drive will be given a new signature. A new Drive Letter should appear and you should now be able to access the drive.

Premier opens new Prominent Hill operation
The Ankata underground mine at Prominent Hill has been officially opened by Premier Jay Weatherill.
The $148 million mine was constructed over the past two years to target a high-grade deposit located west of the existing open pit at the Prominent Hill copper-gold operation.
Mr Weatherill said OZ Minerals' operations in the State's north were an example of how companies can share the benefits of the mining boom with surrounding communities.
"This new mine has added more than 150 jobs to its 1200-strong workforce and the employment opportunities have remained locally-focused, with about 80 per cent of the OZ Minerals workforce living in South Australia," Mr Weatherill said.
"OZ Minerals also runs many programs aimed at educating their employees.
"It has funded many community programs aimed at breaking the cycle of social disadvantage and also mentored Aboriginal business owners," he said.
"It has provided education support, such as scholarships, for secondary and tertiary students from regional and remote areas.
"As well as Prominent Hill, South Australia has several other major approved projects under construction that in their own right will be significant drivers for investment, infrastructure, skills and new jobs."
OZ Minerals Managing Director and CEO Terry Burgess said the commencement of the Ankata underground mine was a significant milestone for OZ Minerals and a highly valuable addition to Prominent Hill.
"Major projects like these require a lot of dedication and effort from multiple parties to get them up and running," he said.
"Our workforce has expanded to include underground mining professionals, whose expertise and experience have enabled us to develop this challenging and rewarding project.
"DMITRE and the South Australian Government have played a critical role in the successful development of this project.
"Their approach to development and implementation of major projects like this one has been world-class."

INDIANAPOLIS — All Andrew Luck wanted to do was stay composed on the field.
He could have fooled anyone.
While Luck acknowledged that he was still trying to get acclimated to a new playbook, a new locker room and new teammates, those who watched closely Friday said the new Colts quarterback looked a whole lot like the one they remembered at Stanford.
�He�s the same Andrew, as brilliant as ever,� said tight end Coby Fleener, Indianapolis� second-round pick and one of Luck�s college teammates. �He went out and was calling plays that were probably 30 words long off the top of his head. He�s amazing.�
Luck wore a red No. 12 jersey, just like he did in college, and of course it helped to have some familiar faces on the practice field � notably Fleener and another ex-Stanford teammate, receiver Griff Whalen.
But the No. 1 overall pick in last week�s NFL draft acknowledged Friday�s debut did not feel the same. He was anxious and nervous. Television and still cameras were scattered around the back side of the team complex, and some of the team�s front-office personnel even came outside to catch their first real glimpse of the new franchise quarterback.
Most were impressed with what they saw in the first workout of this weekend�s rookie minicamp.
�He�s unflappable, mature beyond his years,� coach Chuck Pagano said. �You listen to some of those play calls and you know why he�s an architectural engineer. He�s going to have a great career in that in about 15 years.�
Pagano said he�s hoping the 38 new players learn some simple things this weekend: What it takes to be a professional, where to line up, play calls and the tempo of practice.
�I like being thrown into the fire a little bit,� Luck said when asked about the immersion into the playbook. �It�s like coach Clyde (Christensen) says, throw some mud at the wall and see what sticks. But I think no matter what, you�re going to struggle out there at first.�
Christensen, the quarterbacks coach, and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians spent time Friday giving Luck private lessons, but the workout was hardly a struggle.
Luck handed off on each of his first three snaps, and it took nearly 20 minutes for one of Luck�s throws to hit the ground.
�I didn�t get too melodramatic out there, it wasn�t too monumental in my mind,� Luck said of his first workout.
He might have been the only one.
�It�s monumental,� Pagano said. �We�ve talked about it before and they (Colts fans) saw the same thing happen 13 years ago. We feel great about him, he�s a natural leader.�
After flying back to Palo Alto, Calif., on Sunday, Luck won�t return to the Colts� complex until June 8, the day after he finishes classes at Stanford. League rules prohibit rookies from working out with their new teams until classes end with the exception of one three-day minicamp.
The Colts have contacted with Luck�s agent, Will Wilson, to negotiate a contract. Team owner Jim Irsay said last weekend he expected the process to go quickly and that Luck�s deal would be almost identical to the four-year, $22 million deal Cam Newton signed last summer.

Training and Technical Assistance in Innovative Research Techniques
Based on RCLA's expertise in action learning methodologies and peer-learning, we provide training programs on various participatory, action research, and facilitation methodologies to help practitioners and organizations hone the leadership skills that are vital to making change in their fields of work.
Action learning methodologies offer a process that enables public service leaders to take their most pressing questions and turn them into systemic inquiries with peers facing similar quandaries. These processes are designed specifically to draw on the expertise of individuals confronting these leadership challenges on a daily basis in order to find relevant and workable solutions.
One of RCLA's signature methodologies – Cooperative Inquiry (CI) – enables a group of people with a common question about their practice to engage in cycles of action and reflection together. Participants become co-researchers as they together define the central questions they will explore and engage in reflection and meaning-making to interpret the findings in ways that offer practical solutions.
CI encourages participants to use their own experiences as the main sources of inquiry. Further, they are encouraged to not only explore common questions and challenges, but also to collectively develop and "test" new strategies and methods that address these challenges within their organizational contexts. These experiments also become sources of "data" and learning that feed subsequent cycles of action, reflection and documentation.
With the support of an expert facilitator to help the group make the most of the experience, members repeat this action-reflection cycle several times until they feel they have successfully addressed their concern.
Key outcomes of the process include the creation of new practice-grounded knowledge, insights about how to approach related work challenges, personal growth and expanded leadership capacity, and strengthened relationships among group members
Training and technical assistance in these action learning processes help groups incorporate ongoing learning and leadership development into their organizational cultures.

Updated at: 02/20/2013 2:08 PM
By BETH HARRIS
(AP) EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Kobe Bryant and general manager Mitch Kupchak endorsed the children of the late Jerry Buss as worthy heirs to running the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bryant said Tuesday that the six siblings are "following the greatest owner in sports," but he believes that in their own way the Buss offspring will have success.
"It's tough to follow in those shoes," he said before the Lakers' first practice since the All-Star break. "It's important to take the lessons he's taught and try to carry it on to the future."
The elder Buss died Monday at age 80 of kidney failure as a complication of the cancer that he had struggled with for the last 18 months. A memorial service for invited guests only will be held Thursday at Nokia Theatre across from Staples Center.
"We have a great opportunity to carry on his legacy," said Kupchak, who first joined the Lakers as a player in 1981 and became the team's assistant GM under Jerry West after his playing days ended in 1986.
Some of the lessons Bryant said he learned from Buss were "to be patient, not rush decisions. When you believe in something you act despite what public opinion would be. He always stuck to his guns and made sound decisions on what was right for the team."
Now those decisions will be made by Buss' children: the four oldest _ Jim, Jeanie, Johnny and Janie Drexel that he had with wife JoAnn _ and the two youngest _ Jesse and Joey that he had with an ex-girlfriend.
"Everybody seems to work well together, but don't think for one minute there isn't an adjustment period," Kupchak said. "We've always had one voice and we'll see. I don't anticipate a problem."
It was Jerry Buss' wish that his children run the team after his death. The family owns a majority stake in the franchise, with AEG chairman Philip Anschutz, doctor Patrick Soon-Shion and real estate magnate Ed Roski holding minority shares.
The family ownership stake will now be held in a trust. The team cannot be sold off in smaller pieces, only in its two-thirds entirety, according to longtime Buss family spokesman Bob Steiner.
"The entity cannot be split," Steiner said Monday.
Jeanie will take over as the team's governor, which gives her the power to voice the Lakers' vote on issues at owners' meetings. She has been the team's alternate governor for several years but now takes over for her late father.
"Nobody understands what this franchise means to the city of Los Angeles better than Jeanie and Jimmy," said Kupchak, adding that he feels he "grew up" with the four oldest Buss children _ who range in age from their late 40s to mid-50s.
In recent years, Jim Buss has been working with Kupchak making the team's basketball decisions while Jeanie Buss has handled the club's business dealings. Kupchak said Jim Buss is his boss.
"He's very strong in his opinions yet if I feel strongly, he'll defer, which is what his dad did," Kupchak said.
With the trade deadline looming on Thursday, Kupchak said he doesn't "anticipate anything dramatic in the next two days."
He reiterated that there are no plans to trade center Dwight Howard, despite rumors to the contrary.
"He's been saying that for 1 1/2 to two months," Howard said. "There's always rumors swirling around. I'm not going to let the stuff that's been happening defeat me as a person."
Despite his declining health, Buss watched all the team's games and he was "very involved" in the decision to fire Mike Brown and hire Mike D'Antoni as coach early in the season.
"The organization has always been first-class and I think it will stay that way," said D'Antoni, who never met Buss but called him "the best owner ever in any sport."
Kupchak said Buss' children follow a routine in their work habits unlike their father.
"You might see him leaving the office at 9 in the morning. His hours were unusual," he said, smiling. "With the family members, it's more predictable. Jeanie is in the office every day."
Jim and Jeanie are most closely tied to the Lakers. Janie handles the team's youth foundation from afar, while Jesse is learning to be a scout and has what Kupchak calls "a keen eye." Johnny, who previously ran the WNBA's Sparks when his father owned that team, hasn't been that involved with the Lakers. Joey is president of the D-Fenders of the NBA's D-League.
Bryant recalled visiting Buss in the hospital on a day when the owner was in good spirits. They discussed Bryant's career, which began when the Lakers acquired him as a 17-year-old, Magic Johnson and the "Showtime" era Lakers, and the rival Boston Celtics.
"That was a good day," said Bryant, who grew up a Lakers fan and cited Buss as having a "profound" impact on his career.
The Lakers will wear patches with the initials `JB' on their jerseys for the rest of the season. The elder Buss will be honored before the Lakers host the Celtics on Wednesday night.

Shemekia Copeland makes her fourth appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live before a sold-out audience at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va. Dubbed "The New Queen of the Blues" by Koko Taylor's daughter, Copeland made her first appearance at the Cotton Club when she was only 8 years old. By age 15, she was opening shows for her father's band. In 1998, at 19, she released her first album, Turn the Heat Up. Since then, she released the Grammy-nominated Wicked in 2000, Talking to Strangers in 2002, The Soul Truth in 2005 and Never Going Back in 2009.
She's joined here by her own band, which includes Arthur Neilson on lead guitar, Willie Scandlyn on rhythm, Kevin Jenkins on bass and Morris Roberts on drums. Copeland's latest record, 33 1/3 (her age at the time of its release), was produced by Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers.
Set List
- "Lemon Pie"
- "Mississippi Mud"
- "Ain't Gonna Be Your Tattoo"
- "Somebody Else's Jesus"
- "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"

The world welcomed the 266th pope Tuesday with more than 100,000 people crowding into the Vatican City for the inauguration of Pope Francis.
The Very Reverend John D. Hanic, VF, of St. Stephen Catholic Church in Elkin expressed excitement and congratulations toward the new pope's arrival.
When asked if Elkin parishioners were happy with the choice of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the new pope, Hanic said the church was very pleased.
"Everybody is happy. I have not heard anyone say 'Why did they elect him?' or 'why did he become pope?' Instead the opposite: people are very optimistic. I think we look forward now to a new adventure."
Hanic said the Cardinals in charge of selecting the new pope looked for someone among them who would make a good leader.
"Someone is elected, for instance, to be the leader of all the bishops, not because they are very conservative or because they are very liberal, but because they are well known in the community and admired for the qualities they have and the leadership qualities they have already displayed," he said.
Hanic said the new pope would be a new face in the Vatican but that the church's mission would not drastically change. He illustrated the new papacy somewhat like a new boss at a business: the spirit and mood he brings to the office is new and can be inspiring, but the average worker's job is not changed very much.
"We don't expect the person to do something totally different than has ever been done before, but on the other hand they bring with them certain spirit and their personality, and already the fact that he's from the Americas. I think that makes a big difference."
"I think one of the things that is very interesting about this new pope is that he was a member of the Jesuit order within the church," he said. The Catholic church is split into two types of priests: Diocesan priests and religious orders like the Franciscans or the Jesuits. Hanic said Francis already showed the Jesuit/pastoral roots he brings with him by wading through the people shaking hands and being more approachable than Pope Benedict XVI had been.
"This Jesuit worked in a parish in Argentina. He worked more with the people all the time. I would say Pope Benedict XVI became more academic where this Cardinal became more pastoral."
American Pope?
Hanic said the choice of a pope from Latin America did not necessarily mean the next pope would be from that region or from the U.S.
"I don't know that that really indicates anything, except that they felt that of all of the people, all their brothers that they met with, that he would be a great person to lead and guide the church. I don't know those people [the Cardinals] but I don't doubt that they were anything but correct. I think he will be a good person and I feel proud that he is from the Americas. I like it especially that he's someone who really worked among Spanish-speaking people. I think that is a really great thing," he said.
"I think each section of the world, where they are from, it does makes a great impact. I would expect he would come to the Americas more often for a visit," he added.
"I don't recall a pope visiting Argentina. I'll bet this one does," Hanic said.
Will Francis end abuse legacy for church?
With a new pope stepping into a legacy of sexual abuse and scandal, the question of how it will be dealt with by Pope Benedict XVI's successor is a large one. When asked if Pope Francis and the church would finally be able to put the allegations behind them and move forward, Hanic said the church should not "put it behind them" but address the situation definitely.
"I think still, if there are accusations or if things are not right, they have to be corrected, they need to be made right. It isn't a question of, say, putting it behind us. Those kind of things to me, personally, are a terrible sadness, not only for the church but for anyone, for any person, that is involved in any of those things. The victims of those things, the perpetrators of those things; it's not a light thing, it's an awful thing, a horrible thing that occurs," Hanic said.
"I think the church as a whole has been trying to work toward that kind of goal. The bishops of this country have really tried to implement policies and directives that would try to prevent these things from occurring, but I still think there is much to be done," added Hanic. He went on to say that society needs to continually be on the lookout for threats like this, whether it be in the church or anywhere.
Are two popes too many?
Hanic said the new arrangement of a living former pope would be a good thing for the two men, not a hindrance to Francis. He said the responsibilities of the pope were and are very great, and it was smart of Pope Benedict XVI to retire because he would have been run down by the demands. In this way he can be a friend to Pope Francis and meet with him occasionally if the two want, but he will not tell Francis how to conduct the office or how to appear in public.
"Everyone will bring with them a different viewpoint to the papacy; that's the good of it. This is going to bring a new spirit, a new happiness, to the church that is long deserved, and hopefully he will do really good things," Hanic said.
