  • 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.

    Noticed an interesting post discussing our infrastructure, and communications over at Hall of Record

    Huawei, a global Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer already doing limited business in the U.S., poses a threat to national and corporate security say members of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Those congressmen speak to Steve Kroft for a 60 Minutes investigation to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT.

    The world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment has been under investigation for the past year by the committee, which will issue its report on the Chinese company on Monday. The committee's chair, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), tells Kroft, "If I were an American company today...and you are looking at Huawei, I would find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property, if you care about your consumers' privacy, and you care about the national security of the United States of America."

    More

    No kidding, Mike.  Good thing the Canadians had Snyder file a Buy American waiver on their DRIC, too.

    Sure poses a quagmire for the MI-GOP loyalists, and the ChiCom loving Governerd, doesn't it?

    Complete Waste of Federal Confiscated Tax Dollars

    via The Detroit News

    Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood met with Gov. Rick Snyder and the state Senate Republican leader Tuesday on the long-stalled regional transit authority.

    LaHood praised the meeting with Sen. Majority Leader Randy Richardville and said progress was being made. He said he planned to meet with the state House Speaker Jase Bolger early next month.

    "I believe within the next month or so we will be able to make some announcements and we're making a lot of progress and I things are moving in the right direction," LaHood said.

    In February 2010, the Transportation Department awarded $25 million for Detroit light rail as part of a 9.3-mile, $500 million project that was to travel up Woodward to Eight Mile.

    Rest here

    Speaker Bolger, here's a chance to redeem yourself with stopping this wasteful progressive agenda by a No Go in the House on Gov JenniRick Snydholms' utopian Regional Transit Authority.

    Though, good for graft.

    Got kicks? Every Detroit student who shows up on the cash-crucial Student Count Day will be able to answer "yes" thanks to a donation from Bob's Classic Kicks in midtown.

    BCK, 4717 Woodward, made an arrangement with the school district to give away a free pair of black leather Nikes to every student who comes to class on Oct. 3, the day when students are counted and their numbers used as the basis for per-pupil funding from the state and federal government.

    The more bodies in class, the more money schools have all year.

    Rest

    Perhaps, rewards for perfect attendance?  Oh hell no: Count Day Caaaaaash, fo shizzle.  Nice 'gaming the system' values you got there, Bob's Classic Kicks.  What's next?  Teaching the rest of the secrets to success for Detroit is written on the back of EBT cards?

    Conservative principles crumbling under pressure?  Potentially, just a heartbeat away.

    Must be what the RNC is shooting for as its slogan this election.

    Is this campaign meme intended to keep folks at home in November?

    "Take that Relentless Positive Action, and uh, bring it to Washington, DC"

    Oy!  Pete and John, wise up .. ditch the I ♥ Nerd schtick.  A lone 2010 primary 36% win infiltrated by Schwarz Democrats does not necessarily make one a Senator in 2012.

    Seriously, wtf are you two thinking?

    Real world language involved heads up for the Piously Correct GOP viewer.


    Raw footage here.

    Sure sounds exactly like a Canadian owned US taxpayer funded DRIC "payday", ToughNerd.  Ya, zero Michigan tax dollars are involved too.  LOL  What a $42M joke so far.  And, "Free money," ToughNerd?  That sounds just like these Progressive folks.

    Figures don't lie, but liars sure do figure.

    Anybody that didn't see this coming are willfully burying their head in the sand, or just gullible dupes eating up the spoon-fed disinformation from bought off propaganda whores.

    The Bridge changed from a bridge owned by Michigan to a Canadian owned bridge! A Canadian Crossing Authority will own the bridge now, even the half in Michigan.

    Video.  More.

    Birds of a Nationalizing feather, Gov. Ricky Snydholm.  Romney will love this.

    Taking The Bus

    via The Detroit News

    The union representing Detroit's bus drivers has asked the City Council to put pressure on the transit agency to help stop the spread of bedbugs on buses.

    About 50 Detroit Department of Transportation drivers have reported seeing the bugs on buses, and some have been bitten within the past year, said Henry Gaffney, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 26.

    After receiving a letter from Gaffney in May, DDOT chief executive Ron Freeland said Thursday he asked a maintenance crew to investigate and sent a letter to the union later in the month saying any infested bus would be cleaned.
    ....

    Their bites affect people similarly to that of a mosquito, said Erik Foster, medical entomologist for the state Department of Community Health.

    "Bedbugs have been found in public transit, school buses, public buses, airplanes," Foster said.

    Can't say that I blame any form of civilization for trying to leave Detoilet.

    Apocalypto!
