    <div class="html-content">As part of Environment Month at Writer’s Voice, a national radio show and podcast featuring author interviews, readings, and reviews, Public Policy Professor John Rennie Short was interviewed about his recent book, Stress Testing the USA (Palgrave MacMillan). In his book, Short applies the stress test concept to four major events the United States experienced at the start of the 21st century: the invasion of Iraq, the financial meltdown, Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. “These four major events are the equivalent of an incredible cardiovascular workout for the United States where you saw things that didn’t work so well.

<Title>Deal of the week: Design websites faster with Pinegrow Web Designer</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[

    <p><img alt="thumbnail" src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2014/04/thumbnail6.jpg" width="200" height="160" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">Working in Photoshop is no longer an option. The bloated behemoth just doesn’t provide a suitable interface for designing websites, especially not responsive websites. Designing in the browser is ideal, but it does require fluency in HTML and CSS to get anything done.</p> <p>Across the industry designers are crying out for a modern way of designing sites, and we think we’ve found one. What’s more, our sister-site <a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/pinegrow-web-designer.html?ref=wddpostpinegrow" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MightyDeals.com</a> has even managed to arrange a huge discount on it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/pinegrow-web-designer.html?ref=wddpostpinegrow" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Pinegrow Web Designer</a> is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, that lets you design webpages fast. It builds pages using CSS &amp; Less and supports frameworks including Twitter Bootstrap and Foundation.</p> <p>The simple drag-n-drop interface allows you to rapidly build your pages, and numerous contextual properties enable fine-tuning. Pinegrow works with standard HTML files. You can open up existing web projects and edit them right away, there’s no proprietary tie-in.</p> <p></p>
    <div class="embed-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8_IoRR97pcE" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowFullScreen">[Video]</iframe></div> <p>What’s more, Pinegrow Web Designer allows you to build your own component library. Have an element that you use all the time, like a copyright notice, or a link to a particular site? Simply add it as a custom component and drag and drop it whenever you like. Pinegrow saves components as JavaScript files, so you can easily edit anything you create.</p> <p>Yet another time saving feature is the undo. How many times have you made a mistake in a CSS file and wished you had more than 1 level of undo? Well Pinegrow gives you 20!</p> <p>Most importantly, multi-page editing allows simple development of responsive sites. And this is the application’s main boon; nothing else will rapidly build responsive sites quite like this.</p> <p>The multi-page edit feature and page mirroring means you can style related pages at the same time, creating a sense of consistency so vital to professional design.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/pinegrow-web-designer.html?ref=wddpostpinegrow" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2014/04/screenshots.jpg" width="650" alt="Deal of the week: Design websites faster with Pinegrow Web Designer" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p> <p>Spend a week with Pinegrow Web Designer and you’ll never design a site in Photoshop again!</p> <p>This incredible application normally retails for $49.95—which is a bargain—but thanks to <a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/pinegrow-web-designer.html?ref=wddpostpinegrow" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MightyDeals</a> you can now get it for just $24, that’s a huge 52% discount.
