  • 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.

    Quandary

    I received an email from Defend Our Freedoms dot org regarding a piece of legislation, pending in the senate, S.3742: Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2010.  This bill was introduced by Mark Pryor (D-AR).  The email is vague but from what I gather, Defend Our Freedoms is supporting S.3742.



    Here is the text of the email:
    • Since the 1990s, courts have posted various records online to manage cases
    • more efficiently and provide easier access.

    • Victims, jurors and witnesses fear criminals can easily identify and find them. Others worry about identity theft.

    • Public information that was once kept in a file cabinet is now available online.

    • State and Federal officials need to revamp open records laws now that people's lives have become "digital dossiers".

    • People and groups that support and lobby for open records laws usually are doing it for a specific, self-serving reason. Law enforcement doesn't    need people's lives open, they have access to all information they need. The only people that seem to benefit are nosy neighbors, potential predators and criminals who surf the Web for names and ages of children, addresses and the layouts of their homes.

    • Many people, by nature, don't have good intentions. People's privacy goes beyond stolen identity. We are now speaking of personal safety.


    At the end for the message is a five column matrix.  The columns from left to right contain the following information respectively, senator's name, party affiliation, state, amount of money received from lobbying groups in support of the bill, and amount of money received from a lobbying groups opposed to the bill.



    Naturally, as a Michigander, I scrolled down the matrix until I found Debbie "The Heat Miser" Stabenow and Carl "Marx" Levin.
