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.

via The Detroit News

TV commercials for Fieger's Southfield firm have kept him in Metro Detroiters' minds even when he's been otherwise out of the spotlight.
But one former partner, Vernon "Ven" Johnson, said he had enough of Fieger's "irrational, intimidating and aggressive behavior" and formally resigned from the firm by email May 13, 2011.
Johnson alleged professional misconduct, violation of state business law and other behavior caused him to quit his association with the controversial Fieger.
"The combination of intolerable behavior, broken promises and false representations, the mistreatment of clients, ethically questionable edicts, the loss of experienced trial attorneys, the failure to provide corporate books, records and accounts, as well as other actions ... resulted in a deterioration of the business and compelled (my) resignation," Johnson wrote in the complaint.
Rest here

C'mon Vern .. birds of a feather, dude.

Highlights from a very conspicuously absent Debbie Stabenow, reelect Obama $40k a plate party with the Oakland Co 1%er Ilitch's yesterday.

Obama was introduced by Ilitch as a "champion for Detroit when we needed one."
Some of the well-known guests were former Gov. Jim Blanchard, Southfield attorney Geoffrey Fieger, former Tiger great Willie Horton and ESPN commentator and University of Michigan basketball star Jalen Rose, according to the pooled report.
The room the guests were in included a grand piano, a sweeping staircase leading to an overlook and tables filled with gold-rimmed dishes, Waterford crystal and centerpieces of purple hydrangeas and peonies.
Dinner included lamb, risotto, asparagus and sweet potatoes.

No pizza with pupperoni, Denise?
