RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Mental Illness Awareness Week, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) North Carolina today urged Congress to reject cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that could jeopardize the health of millions of North Carolinians living with mental illness.

The Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or “supercommittee,”—created by the recently passed federal debt ceiling legislation—is charged with recommending an additional $ 1.2 trillion in deficit cuts by November 23. All health care programs are potentially at risk for cuts, and Medicaid and Medicare may be prime targets.

“Mental Illness Awareness Week takes on a special significance this year as Congress debates spending cuts that could hurt millions of North Carolinians living with mental illness,” said Deby Dihoff, Executive Director of NAMI North Carolina. “Medicare and Medicaid make it possible for many people to get the essential treatments and medications they need. If the supercommittee recommends deep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, we will be putting our most vulnerable citizens at risk.”

“There is no doubt that we need to reduce federal spending, but disenfranchising the elderly and underprivileged won’t solve the deficit crisis,” continued Dihoff. “Medicare and Medicaid provide preventative care by allowing patients to avoid more serious, and costly, conditions. Medicare Part D, for example, annually reduces federal spending by $ 12 billion by giving elderly Americans access to medications that keep them out of the emergency room. Without Medicare Part D, many seniors would have to forego their prescriptions altogether—resulting in a greater burden on taxpayers for reactive healthcare.”

NAMI and 25 other national advocacy groups sent a letter to members of the congressional supercommittee. The letter urges members to protect Medicare—specifically the prescription drug benefit known as Part D—as they look for ways to reduce federal spending before the November deadline.

Medicare Part D gives more than 29 million Americans access to prescription drugs at prices they can afford. Before the creation of Medicare Part D in 2006, many treatments were too expensive for as much as a third of the elderly population.  A recent Harvard Medical School study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the improved access to medications under Medicare Part D actually saves Medicare $ 12 billion each year. According to the study, Part D has reduced other healthcare expenses—especially costly inpatient care—by about 10 percent per patient. While other healthcare costs continue to increase dramatically, Medicare Part D actually reduces health care expenditures.

Content management

Question by Mohammed Smith: What is a good content management system to set up an article directory?
I’m looking for an open source content management system to build an article directory like Ezines or GoArticles. I’m very familiar with WordPress, but it doesn’t seem like that would be a good platform. It would have to be a system where users could register, submit articles and manage their accounts. Maybe some sort of plugin for Joomla?

Best answer:

Answer by JN Sites
You don’t need a plugin for Joomla to do what you are describing you can set different user accounts to give them the ability to publish articles to your site. Joomla would work perfect for what you are describing, if it you need some help setting it up let me know you can get my contact information of my site www.jnsites.com

Content management

Chemistry is an open source implementation of the CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) standard, developed by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). CMIS provides a set of bindings for accessing data across multiple CMIS-compliant systems, without the need to understand the specific interface for each system.

As organizations increasingly use content management systems to manage their digital material, they will need ways to share data across these systems. Today, most connections must be individually built on a system-to-system basis. “The big benefit of CMIS for customers is that it lets them do more with content no matter where it’s located across the enterprise,” said Richard Anstey, vice president of product management at OpenText, in a statement.

A number of content management system providers have already built the CMIS standard into their own products, including those offered by Adobe, Alfresco, IBM, Microsoft, Nuxeo, OpenText and SAP. Chemistry provides an open API (Application Programming Interface) to CMIS repositories, as well as a set of libraries–for Java, PHP, Python and Microsoft .Net.–to build CMIS-compliant repository connectors,

As top level project, Chemistry joins other high profile Apache projects such as the Hadoop distributed computing system, the Tomcat Web servlet container, the Cassandra database and the Apache Web server software. A not-for-profit corporation, the Apache Software Foundation offers organizational and financial support for nearly 100 open-source programs.

Graduation to a top level Apache project will give the Chemistry development team more resources as well as a better infrastructure to manage and development the software. As per the Apache bylaws, the group has formed a project management committee to guide its day-to-day operations, and operates under Apache’s meritocratic, consensus-driven process and principles. The software itself is available as open source under the Apache Software License version 2.0.

Question by camilla.pierry: How to apply a content management system to a website made in Dreamweaver?
Hello,

I’ve recently put together a simple website (designed in photoshop/ sliced/ dreamweaver) for a local charity, but am unsure how to help them update their site and upload pictures themselves.

I’ve heard of content management systems but have no idea how they work, which one to go for or how to apply them to my designs. Does it have to be designed in a certain way, or built in to the original?

Any help would be much appreciated

Answer by madvirus
I had been using both Joomla and Mambo CMS. If you had already designed it on dreamweaver it only needs some small tweaks on your code.. Put all your images in a single folder, all css files in a single folder then you have to create an XML file which lists down all your files with there respective location (images, CSS, HTML, PHP, etc)..

Whew! too long to discuss… Just follow this link:

Content management

The Eclipse Enterprise Content Repository project is being unveiled Wednesday. It features such services as versioning, authentication and document content management from the Nuxeo Enterprise Platform.

The project, if it gains its expected approval, will build on the initial contribution to deliver a modular content repository leveraging the CMIS (OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services) standard, Nuxeo said. The company said it is spinning off the project in an effort to spur innovation in the content management space.

The project will provide developers with a reference implementation for content repositories, enabling development of content applications such as document, records, digital asset and case management systems. Vertical or horizontal composite content applications could be built as well.

Adding content management has multiple impacts on Eclipse. “It expands the scope of runtime technologies at Eclipse in some new and interesting ways, and it specifically adds functionality around content management,” said Mike Milinkovich, Eclipse executive director. Developers, he said, “now have a content repository that they can use for building content apps.”

“Certainly, the intent is that this wlll create a platform that other Eclipse projects can use and other companies in the Eclipse ecosystem can use as well,” said Milinkovich.

Nuxeo’s technology is similar in some ways to the popular Drupal CMS, but Drupal is based on PHP, while Nuxeo uses Java, Milinkovich noted. After Wednesday’s formal announcement, community feedback will be sought on the project, with the project expected to be officially created in about a month.

Nuxeo will continue offering its other open source content management products such as Nuxeo DM (Document Management), DAM (Digital Asset Management) and CMF (Case Management Framework).
