  • 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.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Big Brother Mobiles Circulate About Communist Utopia

    The U.S. Transportation Department today will launch a 3,000-vehicle test of "smart car" technology in Ann Arbor.

    U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator David Strickland will join automakers to begin the yearlong test, the largest to date.

    Vehicle-to-vehicle technologies have the potential to significantly reduce crash fatalities and injuries and could one day help motorists avoid crashes altogether, Strickland said.

    This first-of-its-kind effort will test a Wi-Fi-like technology by which vehicles and highways can "talk" to each other and perhaps reduce crashes and improve traffic congestion. Cars, for example, could alert each other that a driver was about to miss a stop sign or pull onto a busy street. Or that a vehicle has entered a driver's blind spot.

    The test will include vehicle-to-vehicle crash avoidance technologies such as forward-collision warnings, "do not pass" alerts and warnings that a vehicle ahead has stopped suddenly. It also will involve some vehicle-to-roadway testing.

    Rest here

    Truly amazing what amount of privacy Americans willingly hand over to corporations in partnership with government, and all is sold to the gullible thralls under the guise of safety.

    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.

    Left-To-Work .. in Indiana

    Part III in the series, via Inside Indiana Business

    PORTAGE, Ind. - Governor Mitch Daniels joined executives from Fronius USA, LLC, the fourth-largest solar inverter producer in the world, today to announce that the company will relocate its North American headquarters here from Michigan, creating up to 512 new jobs by 2016.

    The Austrian company will invest more than $26.64 million to lease and equip 400,000 square-feet of space in Portage to assemble and manufacture its products for the North American market. Through this new facility, Fronius plans to develop its current manufacturing capacities to meet the global demand for solar electronic inverters and welding technology.

    "We're excited to bring new jobs anywhere in Indiana, but we're particularly excited Fronius has chosen northwest Indiana," said Daniels. "Fronius is well-established, fast-growing and at the top of their field, exactly the kind of company we've rebuilt the Indiana business climate to attract."

    Fronius' relocation marks the 1,000th new business establishment or expansion the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, the state's lead economic development agency, has completed since its inception in 2005.

    Established in Brighton, Mich. in 2002, the family-owned, international company has been engaged in solar electronics since 1992, in particular the development and production of photovoltaic inverters for both grid-connected and independent power supplies.

    "Indiana has a great business climate with a perfect infrastructure for us, including a good network of suppliers and skilled employees," said Wolfgang Niedrist, managing director for U.S. sales at Fronius. "We can't wait to get to know the people of Indiana even better as we move into the community."
    ....

    Fronius' establishment in Indiana comes on the heels of two recent announcements from companies also relocating to Indiana from Michigan. Earlier this month, Spartan Motors, Inc. announced its plans to relocate  parts of its operations to Wakarusa from Michigan, creating up to 60 jobs by the second half of 2012. In May, Molded Foam, LLC announced its acquisition of a Michigan firm and intentions to relocate operations to Indiana, creating up to 45 jobs in Elkhart County by 2014.

    Rest here

    So it goes... Michigan continues to hemorrhage its Private Sector Job Creators flowing into Right-To-Work Indiana.  That really should make one question the motive behind Gov Snydholm going "all in" with bypassing the Legislature on his relentless Non-Agreement Agreement campaign for his quasi-government DRIC agenda.  

    Have fun in China this fall, Central Planning Nerd.
