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.

Not that it matters one whit to Attorney General Eric Holder, but Rep. John Conyers of Detroit thinks that he may have met the enemy, and that enemy might be the FBI.

From the Freep:

Detroit Congressman John Conyers is asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for his personal assurance that the death of a Muslim leader in a shootout with FBI agents in Dearborn will be "rigorous, thorough and transparent."
Conyers, a Democrat who serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Holder today that also called for the Civil Rights Division to investigate whether the FBI has violated First Amendment freedoms by using undercover agents in mosques and other houses of worship.

Conyers' concerns are, of course, without impact on Holder as he is going to do what he wants to do regardless of whatever the obtuse Conyers implores, but Conyers' concerns speak volumes about several things; his God-like status among those who continue to vote him back into office election after election, his deep seeded hatred of and distrust for law enforcement, and his inability to fathom not only the danger of domestic radical Islam but how to fight it in a proactive manner. (Incidentally, if you think John hates law enforcement, wait until his trophy wife has an opportunity to speak.)
