What all designers and developers need is a solid framework to fast-track development and ensure that standards aren’t compromised.</p> <p>One of the most popular frameworks is Twitter Bootstrap, but unfortunately when they were packaging it for distribution, the guys over at Twitter didn’t include too many example files. If you want to get moving with Bootstrap fast, you need to check out this deal on 35 Bootstrap templates from our sister-site, <a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/bootstraptor35.html?ref=wddpost35bootstrapthemes" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MightyDeals.com.</a></p> <p>Extended due to massive demand, the <a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/bootstraptor35.html?ref=wddpost35bootstrapthemes" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bootstrap 3.0 Starter Kit Pro</a> includes 35 templates built for use with the latest version of Bootstrap. They’re the easiest way to start building responsive, mobile-first projects with Twitter Bootstrap.</p> <p>The starter kit from bootstraptor.com features everything from landing pages to blogs. It even includes 5 Bootstrap themes so you can tweak the site scheme.</p> <p>All 35 templates are built using responsive design techniques, so they’ll work for your users, whatever device they’re browsing on. Most importantly, each of the templates is fully commented and complies with web standards, meaning that modifying them for your own purposes will be a breeze.</p> <p>Take a look at what’s included:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mightydeals.com/deal/bootstraptor35.html?ref=wddpost35bootstrapthemes" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2014/03/preview.jpg" width="650" alt="Deal of the week: Bootstrap 3.0. starter kit pro" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p> <blockquote> <p>If you think that Bootstrap templates are not enough for you, you should go with Bootstraptor.

<Title>Saddening Statistics on Soldiers&#8217; Mental Health</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><a href="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/5848596657_8a20d902f1.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="" src="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/5848596657_8a20d902f1-300x168.jpg" width="300" height="168" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p>It seems that many soldiers develop stress disorders and depression after their time in the military. But could they have had these mental health problems before even joining?</p>
    <p>Researchers distributed confidential surveys and interviews to 5,428 Army soldiers around the country. <a href="http://www.newser.com/story/183223/almost-20-of-soldiers-had-mental-illness-before-enlisting.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Check out these statistics they found on the soldier’s mental health:</a></p>
    <ul>
    <li>More than 8% of soldiers thought about committing suicide</li>
    <li>More than 8% of soldiers had intermittent explosive disorder before enlisting (six times the prevalence rate of civilians)</li>
    <li>More than 30% of military suicide attempts would have been prevented if recruits with pre-existing conditions were not allowed to enlist</li>
    <li>Nearly 1 in 5 soldiers had a common mental illness — depression, a panic disorder or ADHD — before they enlisted in the Army</li>
    <li>Nearly 9% of soldiers were suffering from PTSD</li>
    </ul>
    <p>What’s going wrong here? The researchers point to the Army’s recruiting process. According to Dr. Elspeth Ritchie, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-me-army-mental-illness-20140304,0,3410236.story#axzz2uzQaRxkX" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">a former chief psychiatrist for the army,</a></p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>People who want to come into the Army are no fools. They know if you say you had a past suicide attempt, you’re probably not going to get in.</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p><strong>Applicants are expected to disclose their mental health history, but many do not in fear of getting rejecting. However, excluding those soldiers with mental health problems would mean the Army couldn’t make its recruiting quotas.</strong> And according to Dr. Erin Schoomaker, former surgeon general of the Army,</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>more stringent screening would just lead to driving the problems further underground.</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>What can the Army do to meet their recruiting targets while protecting the mental health of its soldiers?</p>

    <p>Chipotle has re-defined what we know to be “fast-food” and has <em>certainly </em>re-defined the amount of food someone can eat in one sitting.</p>

<Title>Wanna See the (Climate) Data?</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><a href="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/flood-risk.png" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="" src="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/flood-risk-300x214.png" width="300" height="214" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p>Calling all data lovers, tree-huggers, app-builders, and students in need of class projects!</p>
    <p>The Federal government just launched a new division of its Data.gov website to deal with what Secretary of State John Kerry called:</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/16/politics/kerry-climate/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">“The greatest challenge of our generation.”</a></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>The website? <a href="http://www.data.gov/climate/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Climate.data.gov</a>. The issue? Climate change. </p>
    <p>In a fact sheet released Wednesday, the White House stated:</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/03/19/fact-sheet-president-s-climate-data-initiative-empowering-america-s-comm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">“President Obama is committed to ensuring that communities across America have access to the information and tools they need.”</a></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>So what types of “information” and “tools” can be found on this website?</p>
    <p>Since Climate.data.gov is still in the pilot phase, most of the information focuses on a single topic: sea level rise. Like the rest of the data.gov website, climate.data.gov functions mainly as a portal to information on other government sites. </p>
    <p>There is something for every type of researcher, from climate scientist to concerned citizen, but distinguishing between the easily accessible and more academic tools is difficult. Here are a few highlights from the pilot phase:</p>
    <p>1. The <a href="http://csc.noaa.gov/slr/viewer/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sea level rise visualizer</a> provides a chilling glimpse into a future with seas up to <a href="http://e360.yale.edu/feature/rising_waters_how_fast_and_how_far_will_sea_levels_rise/2702/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">six feet</a> higher than today. </p>
    <p>2. NOAA’s <a href="http://www.csc.noaa.gov/ccapatlas/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">land cover atlas</a> allows the user to find data on land use and land use change for most counties in the United States. </p>
    <p>3. The “<a href="http://catalog.data.gov/dataset?groups=climate5434&amp;_groups_limit=0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">data</a>” portal gives access to a wealth of climate-related downloadable datasets.</p>
    <p>4. The 2014 <a href="https://2014.spaceappschallenge.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Space Apps Challenge</a> offers aspiring programmers the opportunity to hone their skills on any of several dozen earth and space related programming challenges (for example: build an app to quantify pollution levels based on sky color), and submit their solutions. </p>
    <p><span>So does this mean the Obama administration is finally stepping up its game on climate change? Should an entire section of Data.gov be devoted to climate? How will you use Climate.data.gov?</span></p>
