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.
Newt, the 'pathway' didn't work for Reagan in a much more sane 1986, and it won't work for you now. Your newly found papal 'moderate' pandering for the establishment nomination is quite sickening.
Watching as the events continue to evolve throughout the Middle East, it's difficult to determine a central theme to our current foreign policy positions. Widespread protests have been squelched by iron fisted leaders across the region as people are gunned down by oppressive regimes in Yemen, Iran, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Saudi royalty is keeping one hand on the oil spigots and the other on top of the heads of their citizenry. Bahrain, one of our most strategic allies, teeters on the precipice. Our response? Tepid and indecisive.
