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.

I have yet to figure out how/if Oakland Co plans to spin their way out of not issuing Patterson, and his chauffeur, a retired double-dipping State Trooper tickets for not wearing their seat belts, via The Detroit News

The Oakland County executive and the two drivers involved weren't wearing seat belts, police said Monday.
....
No one has been charged in the crash, which is under investigation, Auburn Hills police said. Patterson's eastbound vehicle entered the intersection of Opdyke with a green traffic signal, and the Passat was westbound on Walton turning on to southbound Opdyke with a flashing yellow signal.
"It appears the driver of the Volkswagen failed to yield the right of way, causing the crash," said Auburn Hills Police Deputy Director Thomas Hardesty in a news release Monday.
"Due to the extent of injuries to persons involved in the crash, this case will be presented to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office when the investigation is complete," according to a news release. "No decision will be made on the issuance of citations until after the case is reviewed by the prosecutor."
Patterson was riding in the front seat of the car, Auburn Hills police have said. Michigan law requires drivers and front-seat passengers to wear seat belts. Violators could face traffic citations.

Could face traffic citation? WTF? It's either Rule of Law, or call the whole system in Oakland Co a Wild West free for all. At this point, all I know is that if I were the driver of the Passat, I'd be on the horn with one of the legalese merchants that's well versed in modified comparative negligence seeing that the prosecutor and the police involved still have their collective thumb up their ass on a cut-n-dry seat belt matter involving their Dear Leader.

Hmmm, as an aside let's see now... pushing the DIA Tax .. targeting the only Republican on the CD-11 ballot with a costly primary, Big Government "write-in" smearing crony...

The star-chamber backed candidate in the CD-11 race made some very interesting comments yesterday on OTR regarding her opponent's supporters, her opponent and a rather interesting hint at her future campaign strategy after she loses the primary and "special election".
