Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

So, let me get this straight... we are supposed to be outraged that employees are doping it up at a business that prohibits drug use, which is paid by our tax dollars. Yet, we have individuals on welfare, some for generations, which are funded by our same tax dollars that are not screened for drug use?

Yessiree. Only in Michigan!

The astute economist team at U of M has brilliantly deduced that two terms of Granholm spending and goonion labor costs that bankrupted two auto makers placing Michigan at the bottom now just hovers above the bottom, for years to come.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- A continued rebound in manufacturing will help Michigan add jobs and end its economic downturn over the next two years, but recovering the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost since 2000 will take far longer, a University of Michigan economist said Friday.
"Once Michigan's curse, the concentration of manufacturing has now become its blessing," George Fulton said at the university's annual economic forecast conference.
The state is on the upswing, albeit slowly. Fulton said he expects it will end 2011 with its first net job increase in 11 years, having added 64,200 positions. With the expected addition of 32,000 jobs in 2012 and 45,000 in 2103, the state's likely to see its unemployment rate drop from 10.6 percent now to around 10 percent in 2013.

The farce in U of M's figures?

Michigan is struggling to replace the 857,000 jobs it lost between 2000 and 2009,..

Wrong. Jenny said she lost 1,000,000 jobs. So, based up their "the state to have regained about 178,000 of the lost jobs through 2013" since the GoverNerd has been in Office, at that pace, in another 18½ years from now the state should be at about the break even point in jobs. Oh! ...and with that higher GoverNerd State Income Tax too.
