Amazon.com Review
In their introduction, Rostenberg and Stern write: "Several readers inferred ... that our relationship was a Lesbian one. This was a misconception. The 'deep, deep love' that existed and exists between us ... has no bearing upon sex." With that out of the way early on, the two recount the stories of their lives in alternating sections. And oh, what lives they've had! From identifying some of Louisa May Alcott's previously anonymous early writings to traveling the world in search of rare volumes and pamphlets, they have done and seen it all. Successful antiquarian book dealers Rostenberg and Stern undoubtedly are, but as this memoir makes clear, their greatest accomplishment just might be that rarer commodity of friendship that lasts a lifetime. --Alix Wilber

Now in the dusty corner of bibliomania, I have found two more authors who are willing to share their joy of discovery with me. They even have a name for it: 'Finger-Spitzengefühl'--"the electrifying alertness to what is unusual or important in an early printed book. When 'Finger-Spitzengefühl' is coupled with serendipity, the gates of paradise open for the dealer in old and rare [books]."
Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern share their "thrill of the chase and the joy of the find," as well as a seven-decade-long partnership in life--"the partnership of 'Faithful Friends' who share 'a deep, deep love.'"
I have to admit I had trouble getting into this book. I read some of the earlier pages six or seven times because I kept falling asleep and losing my place. However, once the authors were out of childhood recollections and into the chase--first of all for the works that Louisa May Alcott had published under a pseudonym--then I was hooked.
These authors have illuminated many once-obscure corners of history through their curiosity and devotion. They deplore collectors who pursue rare books as an investment, much as I would deplore a physician who is in practice 'only for the money.' Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern have devoted their lives to the search for the old and rare, and their love, curiosity, and wisdom show through on almost every page of this book.
active in the antiquarian book trade for fifty
years. They are true friends, who grew to love
and respect each other as they grew in their
knowledge of old books and in their abilities to
find them. They wrote this book together, but
retained their separate identities by each
writing her own story until their stories became
the same. Thus we get Leona's history from
childhood until her dramatic failure to win her
Doctorate from Columbia, and Mady's story
through her Masters degree and first biography
of the early feminist, Margaret Fuller.
At this point, the two have met and realize that
they share a love of books and a lack of interest
in marriage, although both have been courted
by many. They are both devoted to their
families, but Mady gives Leona the necessary
nudge that forces her to hang out her "shingle"
as "Leona Rostenberg-Rare Books". Both
women show a rare independence of spirit and
interest and because they each write with
verve and enthusiasm, all this personal history
reads like a good novel.
Now the business is launched and the rest of
the book is happily spent recounting their
sleuthing adventures in old book stores in
Europe and American, founding and enjoying
the American Association of Antiquarian
Booksellers and generally having a wonderful
time supplying books to universities and
collectors. They make is sound very easy to
find a sixteenth century book that no one
recognizes, buy it for $2.Read more ›
I expected to be interested, and was rewarded with a page turner that I was reluctant to put down. The dedication with which the authors pursued lost works of the printers' art, and unravelled conundrums of history make marvellous reading.
If you love literature, as I suspect most Amazon book customers do, than you'll enjoy this most unusual duo.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
When first published in 1899, The Awakening shocked readers with its honest treatment of female marital infidelity. Audiences accustomed to the pieties of late Victorian romantic fiction were taken aback by Chopin's daring portrayal of a woman trapped in a stifling marriage, who seeks and finds passionate physical love outside the straitened confines of her domestic situation.
Aside from its unusually frank treatment of a then-controversial subject, the novel is widely admired today for its literary qualities. Edmund Wilson characterized it as a work "quite uninhibited and beautifully written, which anticipates D. H. Lawrence in its treatment of infidelity."
Although the theme of marital infidelity no longer shocks, few novels have plumbed the psychology of a woman involved in an illicit relationship with the perception, artistry, and honesty that Kate Chopin brought to The Awakening. Now available in this inexpensive edition, it offers a powerful and provocative reading experience to modern readers.
About the Author
A precursor of the 20th century's feminist authors, Kate Chopin (1850–1904) wrote short stories and novels for children and adults. The St. Louis native lived in New Orleans for a dozen years and set most of her tales amid Louisiana's Creole culture. Many of her stories were well ahead of their time, and she achieved widespread acclaim only after her death.

And Kate Chopin caused a massive scandal when she wrote about one woman who drifted from societal normal in "The Awakening," leading to a world of exploration, love, and ultimately tragedy. Her misty, vaguely dreamlike writing can pull a reader into the world of 1900s New Orleans and its society, but her heroine sometimes feels more like a vessel than a fully-realized person.
Edna Pontellier is the wife of successful New Orleans businessman Léonce, and mother of two lovely young boys. Yet she is dissatisfied by her life, and feels no connection to the other wives and mothers, who idolize their motherhood and subservience. And when she encounters handsome young Creole Robert Lebrun while on vacation, she begins to "awake" to the feelings she has left behind during her marriage.
Distancing herself from Leonce and her sons, Edna begins exploring art and emotions that have been denied her by the strictures of her society -- as well as an affair with the flirtatious Alcée Arobin. She even moves out into a cottage of her own, much to the horror of those who thought they knew her. Her romantic feelings have not moved on from Robert, but his return makes her realize how different she has become...
Kate Chopin's most famous work is often cited as a sort of proto-feminist work, with a woman rebelling against the male-dominated role she has been given. The fact that a story about a woman abandoning her husband and kids caused such a scandal only adds to that belief.Read more ›
besides the problem i had with the themes and plot, it was a very well written book, and i don't agree with it being censored. It was far ahead of it's time, and may be worth a read..Just don't expect too much out of it.
However, the biggest controversy is the ending. Whether it is another awakening or something else (you should decide it for yourself), I think the book should have gone with its original title- A Solitary Soul.
The book is written beautifully, hence the two stars. But Edna is completely unidentifiable. She is twenty-eight, yet she seems to do everything on impulse. Yes, maybe she did rush irrationally into an ultimately loveless marriage -- but her husband is not a monster, so doesn't she at least owe him some consideration? Not to mention her children -- she seems to not have the slightest regard for them, only showing affection in fits and starts.
This book should be read, if only to show what strength is not -- strength is not what Edna does in the end of this story. However, you may find yourself struggling to get through it, as Edna is often very frustrating. In conclusion -- this is NOT feminism. In fact, before reading this story I had immense respect for Kate Chopin, respect gained from reading her short stories. I lost some of that respect after seeing what she apparently believed was the solution for Edna's problems.

Hanson, 2940 Lorain Road, San Marino, Calif. Filed Jan. 22, 1962, Ser. No. 167,578 8 Claims. ('Cl. 221-34) The present invention relates generally to a tissue dispenser and litter container. The container comprises a unitary article adapted to receive a tissue box and it further is provided with a litter enclosure for the receipt of soiled tissues, litter, and the like.
The tissue dispenser and litter container is attractively constructed so that it may be used in any number of locations such as on a desk of a business executive or business secretary, in an automobile, or anywhere else where this container would be useful.
It is an important object of this invention to provide a combination tissue dispenser and litter container which can be economically manufactured on a large production basis.
A further important object of this invention is to provide a unitary tissue dispenser and litter container having a tissue, enclosure sized for receiving a conventional type of tissue box.
According to the general features of this invention, there is provided a tissue dispenser and litter container comprising a shell and a base carrying the shell, the shell and base having main and elevated sections. with the elevated section mounted atop the main section, the main section being cooperable with the base in defining a tissue box enclosure, a rear end of the main section and the base being cooperable with the elevated section in defining a litter enclosure, the main section having a tissue box inlet and a tissue outlet disposed at its top side, the elevated section having a litter inlet at its top side.
According to still other features of the present invention, the aforesaid container may be molded in one piece or in plural sections.
According to still other features of the present invention, the container is provided with means for centering a tissue box in the tissue box enclosure so that tissues may be readily withdrawn from the box through the tissue outlet described above.
According to still other features of this invention, the container is provided with a cap or door having a hinge securing it with the container base and with the cap being cooperable with the elevated section to provide a litter outlet.
According to still futher features of this invention, the cap, hinge and base may all be manufactured as a one piece molded unit comprised of polypropylene.
Other objects and features of this invention will more fully become apparent in view of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings illustrating several embodiments and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a top plan view of a tissue dispenser and litter container;
FIGURE 2 is' a front elevation of the container shown in FIGURE 1;

As shown on the drawings:
This invention concerns a tissue dispenser and litter container indicated generally at it The container 10 includes a shell or shell portion 11 and a base or base portion 12. The shell 11 and base 12 are provided with main and elevated sections 13 and I4 and in this regard it will be noted the elevated section is mounted on top of the main section 13.
The main section 13 is cooperable with the base 12 in defining a tissue box enclosure 15. Disposed within the tissue box enclosure 15 is a tissue box 16, as shown in FIGURE 3.
The rear end of the main section 13 and the base 12 are cooperable with the elevated section 14 in defining a litter enclosure 17.
The main section 13 has a tissue box inlet 18 as well as a tissue outlet 19, the tissue outlet being disposed at the top side or along the top surface of the main section 13. The tissue box inlet 18 is shown as being disposed at the front end of the container 1d and it will be appreciated that it also could be disposed at other suitable locations such as in either of the main section side walls 13a-13a defining the tissue box enclosure 15 or in the main section top wall 13b of the tissue box enclosure 15.
The elevated section 14- is provided with a litter inlet 20 at its top side. This inlet is open at all times so that soiled tissues and other trash may be dropped into the litter enclosure 17.
The container It is further provided with a panel or door or cap indicated generally at 21. The closure panel 21 acts as closure means for the main section 13 as well as the elevated section 14 at the rear end of the container. In this respect it will be appreciated from a consideration of FIGURE 1 that the main section 13 is of a greater transverse dimension than the elevated section 14' and that the closure panel or cap or door 21 is generally T-shaped.
The closure panel 21 is provided with means to enable it to be snapped onto the container which means includes cap or panel flanges 21a, 21b and 21c. The cap flange 21a is adapted to rest on top of elevated section side walls 1441-1411 which protrude rearwardly beyond the main section 13. The side cap flanges 21b and 210 are adapted to snap over and frictionally engage with the extended ends of the elevated section side walls 14a14a as indicated at 14a;
In summary, the tissue box 16 is adapted for insertion into the tissue box enclosure 15. The base 12 is provided with stop means 22 for centering the tissue box discharge opening 16a with respect to the tissue outlet 19. The soiled tissues can be dropped into the inlet 20 of the elevated section 14. When the litter enclosure 17 becomes full, it may be emptied by pulling the cap 21 free of the elevated section side walls 14a, 14a. After the trash is dumped from the liter enclosure 17, the cap may be'reassembled on the container by locating the cap flange 21a above the elevated section side walls 14a, 14a and by pressing the cap flanges 21b, 21c frictionally over the extended end portions 14a, 14a of the elevated section side walls 14a14a. The cap 21 is pressed against the container 10 so that it is bottomed against the main section side walls 13a, 13a.
If desired, the container 10 may be provided with legs or feet, as indicated at 23.
Shown in FIGURE 4 is a modified type of container indicated generally at The container 10 differs from the container 10 in that its cap 21' is formed integral with the base 12' and is joined with the base 12 by means of a U-shaped hinge 25, the hinge being joined at its opposite ends with the base 12 and the cap 21'. The cap 21', the hinge 25, and the base 12' may be molded as a one piece unit where formed from a material known as polypropylene. Excellent results may be secured by the use of tenite polypropylene.
Shown in FIGURES 6 and 7 is still another modified type of tissue dispenser and litter container, as indicated at 10". The container 10 is similar to the other containers already described and double primed reference numerals have been used wherever applicable to identify container components which correspond to the ones already described in connection with the form shown in FIGURES 1-3.
In this form of my invention, the base 12 is formed integral with the cap 21' and they are joined together by means of hinge 25", the hinge 25" being the same as the hinge 25 shown in FIGURES 4 and 5. This form of my invention differs from those already described in that the base section 12" is formed separate and apart from shell 13". Side walls of the main section are indicated at 13 and are provided with longitudinally extending grooves 26. Opposite longitudinal base edges 27, 27 are snapped into the grooves 2626 for the purpose of securing the base 12 in integral assembly with the shell 13". The base is provided with a series of longitudinally extending reinforcing flanges 28.
The closure panels 21' and 21" on the containers 10 and 10 are adapted to operate in the same manner in that each of them may be pulled out of frictional engagement with elevated section walls in the same manner as already previously described in connection with the description of the structure shown in FIGURES l-3. In other words, the closure panels or caps 21' and 21" are adapted to coact with the elevated section side walls of the type indicated at 14a, 14a, and 14a, 14a as previously described.
Shown in FIGURES 8 and 9 is still another modified type of tissue dispenser and litter container as indicated generally at 40. The container 40 includes a tissue box enclosure 41 and a litter enclosure 42 and in this instance the tissue box enclosure 41 is stacked on top of the litter enclosure 42. The tissue box enclosure includes a tissue box inlet 43 as well as a tissue outlet 44. The litter enclosure 42 is provided with a slidable drawer or removable panel 44 having an angled lip or drawer edge or chute 45 which is adapted to protrude externally of the container 40. The angled drawer flange or chute 45 constitutes a litter inlet as indicated generally at 46 in FIG- URE 8.
In all forms of my invention, the containers may be made from any suitable material such as a synthetic plastic. Where, however, hinges are to be molded integral with the litter door and base, a polypropylene material is preferably employed as it has flexible characteristics which enable the hinge components or sections to be repeatedly flexed with respect to one another without damage to the hinge.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.
I claim as my invention:
1. A tissue dispensing and litter container comprising,
a shell housing having:
a horizontal base wall of generally angular outline having an area substantially greater than that of the base of a conventional tissue box,
vertical walls rising from said base wall and defining an opening immediately adjacent to said base wall through which a tissue box can be inserted in a horizontal direction onto said base wall, an integral means within said shell housing for limiting and orienting said tissue box on a predetermined portion of the base wall adjacent to said opening to leave a substantial area of said base wall within the housing free as a litterrecelving space, and a top wall having a first portion spaced from said base wall provided with a tissue dispensing opening aligned with said predetermined portion of the base wall to closely adjacently overlie the top of the tissue box and afiording access to a top tissue opening in the tissue box therebelow, a second portion of said top wall over said litterreceiving space and beyond said first portion coacting with said vertical walls contiguous with said litter-receiving space extending upwardly substantially higher than said first portion and defining a litter enclosure of substantial horizontal and vertical capacity, said top wall second portion having a litter inlet opening downwardly into said litter enclosure; at least a portion of one of the vertical walls defining said'litter enclosure comprising a litter-removing discharge opening and having a removable closure panel,
and means releasably retaining said closure panel in place.
2. A container as defined in claim 1, in which said closure panel has angular marginal flanges, and said one vertical wall having complementary angular flanges engaged frictionally by said closure panel flanges and comprising said releasable retaining means.

General plugins (Local): Static Pages
Maintained by University of Ulm, Alexander Bias
Moodle plugin which displays information pages which exist outside any course, imprint or faq pages for example, complete with Moodle navigation and theme
The local_staticpage plugin is designed to fetch a static HTML document from disk, enrich it with Moodle navigation and theme and deliver it as a standard Moodle page which exists outside any course.
Static pages will be available on catchy URLs like http://www.yourmoodle.com/static/faq.html and can be linked from Moodle HTML blocks, from your Moodle theme footer and so on. Using the local_staticpages plugin, you can create information pages within moodle, but without misusing a whole course just for showing a textbox.
See README file for details.

- Tue, Mar 29, 2016, 9:17 PMHi Tom, hi Phuong,
thanks for your feedback. I appreciate every improvement to documentation, but as I already know the plugin, I need to know where you failed when you tried to bring it into production.
As I said above, there is already an extensive Readme on https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-local_staticpage/blob/master/README.md. The content of the Readme is not available directly here in the plugin repo page because it changes from release to release, but it is linked with the "More documentation on this plugin" link.
So, if you tell me where you failed or what you did not understand in the Readme, I can try to improve it.
- Tue, Mar 29, 2016, 10:34 PMThank you! It worked for me. And if it helps somebody else, I'll explain what I did to change /static/ url to what I wanted. As you said, I changed all the mentions to /static/ on view.php, placed in /local/static/ to what I wanted. In my case, /paginas/. Then I only had to do the properly to the .htaccess, and change to :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^paginas/(.*)\.html$ /local/staticpage/view.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
And voilà, everything fine (even breadcrumbs).
Thanks for your help and for the plugin, Alexander,
Best regards.
- Mon, May 16, 2016, 4:48 PMHello, firstly thank you for the plugin, its very useful, however I'm having one problem, I've uploaded the html pages using the browser uploader, but can't find them when I ftp into my server, could you advise where the folder is? Thanks
- Tue, May 17, 2016, 2:43 PMHi Daniel,
with the 3.0 version of this plugin, we are using a filearea in Moodle for storing the files instead of the previously used directory on disk. Thus, Moodle buries your files somewhere below the /filedir directory on disk like it does for all other files you are uploading in Moodle (e.g. in a course).
Perhaps http://www.nathanfriend.co.uk/find-where-moodle-2-has-put-your-file/ can help you finding your file if you need to identify it on disk.
- Sun, May 22, 2016, 12:11 AMHi guys,
Simple question:
How can we insert and run PHP codes into a page?
It's very important and useful.
Thank you so much,
- Sun, May 22, 2016, 3:45 AMHi Israel,
simple answer: No, local_staticpage does not process PHP code and we also won't add this feature because of strong security concerns. If you need to run PHP code in a single page, you should create your own plugin. It's easier as you may think.
- Thu, Jun 9, 2016, 3:04 AMI have used this plugin for two or three pages. However, as far as telling specific blocks to only show on specific pages, it ignores such rules and adds any blocks that are added to any static page to every other static page. If you configure the block to not show on any of the static pages, it applies same argument/rule to all the other static pages. For you're info, these are the pages I'm referring:
suggestions? I would rather have the dev help before I hack it to pieces to find a work around. Thanks in advance
- Thu, Jun 9, 2016, 3:10 AMJust realized I could offer what I think is the problem. When you add a block to static pages, it by default adds it as system(shows "Orignial Block Location" as System) This is nonconfigurable after the block is added. Thx
- Thu, Jun 9, 2016, 6:32 PMHi William,
if you look at the README of the plugin (https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-local_staticpage/blob/master/README.md), you will see that there is basic support for blocks, but that the plugin was not intended to show blocks on the static pages.
I don't understand what your latest status is - did you achieve your goal or not?
- Tue, Jun 21, 2016, 2:05 AMHi,
One brief question.
I've tried to use HTML anchors like in this page:
I've used the HTML5 way to do it, but it doesn't work in Static Pages.
Is html blocked on this plugin or something like that? Sorry for my inexperience.
Best regards.
- Tue, Jun 21, 2016, 9:29 PMHi Abel,
basically, you should be able to define an anchor with something like
h3 id="foo" (I removed the brackets from the tags for styling reasons here on moodle.org)
and link to it with
a href="#foo"
But this does not work if you have the plugin's setting local_staticpage | cleanhtml = On. Then a HTML cleaning function is used which drops the ID attribute. If you switch this off, you should be fine.
- Tue, Jun 21, 2016, 10:17 PMAha, I understand. Thanks for your fast answer.
How can I switch the HTML cleaning function off?
Thanks again.
- Wed, Jun 22, 2016, 3:13 AMHi Abel,
please go to /admin/settings.php?section=staticpage and change the setting there.
Please also note that the setting is only there in the 3.0 version of the plugin.
- Wed, Jul 27, 2016, 8:15 AMAlex, I have just used version 3.x and found few things have changed, besides file up loader rather than giving a path (both have their advantages) one thing I really missed is where in previous versions it use to list all the found files and give paths to be used making it easy for users to copy/paste paths, whilst this is not he case now,if not automated path, can you type in static text in plug-in settings how may a URL would look like.
- Thu, Jul 28, 2016, 10:31 AMI have installed the plugin and added an htaccess file to my moodle installation folder with the specified changes. I upload a plain html file using the example code provided in the readme. I am getting a 404 error no matter what I try. Any suggestions? Thanks

Robertson High earned district tennis championships in both boys' and girls' team categories Saturday in Taos. And they swept the girls' individual titles and had runner-up finishes in the boys' individual brackets.
All in all, not a bad haul of hardware for first-year head coach Roman Fulgenzi.
"It's just kind of a little confidence booster going into state," Fulgenzi said Saturday evening. "We're putting the pieces together. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going."
• District tournaments, TBA
• Class 2A state tournament first-round games, TBA, campus sites
• Class 1A-3A state tournament: girls' singles first round, 6:30 p.m.; boys' singles first round, 7:30 p.m.; girls' doubles first round, 3:30 p.m.; boys' doubles first round, 5 p.m.; Jerry Cline Complex, Albuquerque
With the regular season about to wrap up, several area baseball and softball teams are on track for state tournament selections — at least according to the polls of NMOTSC.com.
Robertson is ranked seventh in the website's April 23 poll, which is voted on by coaches around the state.
The Cardinals (15-8, 4-3) most recently beat Taos 8-1 on the road this past Tuesday. They close the regular season with a doubleheader vs. Raton this Saturday at Memorial Middle School's Whorton Field.
Free hot dogs.
Souvenir baseballs.
And plenty of action on the diamond.
It's all in store for local baseball buffs Saturday as New Mexico Highlands University and corporate sponsor Southwest Capital Bank hold NMHU Baseball Fan Appreciation Day at Brandt Park.
The promotion will be held as part of the Cowboys' weekend series with Nebraska-Kearney. It's a critical series to the team's hopes of getting a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the upcoming Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament.
By Jesse Gallegos
Luna Community College
The Luna Community College baseball team needed to win all four games this past weekend to make the playoffs. They came up a little short of their dream, winning only one at El Paso Community College.
The Rough Riders (20-26) won the final game of the series 4-3. They lost 8-2, 6-3 and 11-1.
West Las Vegas' Jayme and Joedy Quintana and Robertson's Jamie Allen have made the cut for the state golf tournament.
Jayme Quintana has seven qualifying rounds (three needed), with her most recent an 85 at Santa Fe on Monday.
Allen has five qualifying efforts. Her most recent was an 88 at UNM April 17.
Joedy Quintana has four qualifiers. She shot an 82 Monday, also at Santa Fe.
Submitted to the Optic
This past Saturday, the Mora boys and girls track teams finished second at the Northern Rio Grande Invitational. The meet is an annual event that features eight of the top Class 2A teams in northern New Mexico. This year's event was held in Dulce.
The Rangers narrowly missed first place totaling 85.5 points behind Dulce, first with 94 points.
A list of qualifying performances by area athletes for the Class 2A state track and field championships, to be held May 4-5 in Albuquerque:
• Girls' 800-meter run: Andrea Romero, Mora, 2:34.9; Cassie C de Baca, Pecos, 2:35.9
• Boys' 800-meter run: Alonzo Chavez, Mora, 2:02.8
• Girls' 1,600-meter run: Andrea Romero, Mora, 5:46.8
• Boys' 1,600-meter run: Alonzo Chavez, Mora, 4:36.7; Antonio Varela, Pecos, 4:47
New Mexico Highlands women's basketball coach Tiffany Darling has released her dates for her 2012 Cowgirl Basketball Camps.

Information on Inmate Eligibility and Federal Costs for Allowable Services
GAO-14-752R: Published: Sep 5, 2014. Publicly Released: Oct 6, 2014.

What GAO Found
In 2013, the Medicaid program financed health care services for more than 72 million individuals, and an additional 7 million beneficiaries are expected to enroll in 2014 as a result of states choosing to expand Medicaid eligibility as allowed under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Most of these newly eligible individuals will be low-income adults, a population that may include individuals who are inmates in state prisons and local jails. In the 27 states that opted to expand Medicaid eligibility as allowed under PPACA, the majority of inmates are likely to have incomes that would qualify them for Medicaid—a circumstance that did not generally exist before 2014, since Medicaid eligibility for adults has generally been limited to certain categories of low-income individuals, such as pregnant women and individuals who are aged or disabled. For example,
- officials from New York and Colorado—two states that expanded Medicaid—estimated that 80 percent and 90 percent of state prison inmates, respectively, were likely eligible for Medicaid; an
- officials in North Carolina, a state that did not expand Medicaid, estimated that 2 percent of inmates are likely eligible at any given time.
Although the expansion allowed under PPACA will result in increased eligibility among inmates, federal law prohibits states from obtaining federal Medicaid matching funds for health care services provided to inmates—except when inmates are patients in medical institutions, such as hospitals. Further, the proportion of inmates with inpatient stays that qualify for federal Medicaid funds is likely small. For example,
- inmates who were eligible for Medicaid and received allowable inpatient services ranged from 1.0 percent to 2.3 percent in 2013 in four of six states GAO contacted that could provide data on allowable services; and
- data from California and Washington indicated that—even with increases in eligibility—the percentage of inmates with allowable services may remain relatively small, less than 5 percent.
The federal matching funds obtained for allowable services provided to prison inmates were small relative to total federal Medicaid spending for inpatient services. For example, four states reported obtaining federal funds ranging from $1.3 million to $38.5 million in 2013. These funds accounted for 0.1 percent to 1.0 percent of the federal funds these states obtained for inpatient services for all beneficiaries. As of July 2014, two states were implementing efforts, such as hiring and training staff to assist with inmate enrollment in Medicaid, that could increase the amount of federal funds obtained; and the four other selected states had taken similar steps, generally prior to 2014.
The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed a draft of this report and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
PPACA gives states the option to expand Medicaid eligibility to individuals with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level beginning in 2014. Most of those newly eligible will be low-income adults, a population that includes inmates. While some inmates have historically been eligible for Medicaid, the number has likely increased in the states that opted to expand Medicaid as allowed under PPACA. Federal law prohibits states from obtaining federal Medicaid matching funds for inmate health care with the exception of when inmates are patients in qualifying medical institutions--such as hospitals--for at least 24 hours. The intent of the federal prohibition is to ensure that federal Medicaid funds are not used to finance care that is the responsibility of state and local authorities.
GAO was asked to examine information on enrollment and federal Medicaid costs for inmates. This study provides information on the proportion of inmates eligible for Medicaid and state efforts to enroll inmates in Medicaid and obtain federal matching funds for allowable services. GAO collected information from six states--California, Colorado, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington--that were geographically diverse and included states that expanded Medicaid as allowed under PPACA and states that did not. For these six states, GAO collected and analyzed estimates of the proportion of inmates eligible for Medicaid in 2014 and data for 2013 on inmates with inpatient stays and federal matching funds obtained by the state for allowable services. GAO also interviewed Medicaid and corrections officials from the selected states.

I'm not exactly sure how to frame this question so I'll just go for it. I am recently returning to rails after a hiatus and I am building a social networking style application. Basically I'd like to do what twitter does and have each persons profile page be found at "http://www.url.com/username" and while I have managed to get this partially to work.... if I manually type this into the address bar it takes me to their profile page, however I can't seem to figure out how to get my links to here working. I'm sure it has something to do with my routes, but I've never come across any thorough enough routes tutorials to understand this aspect well enough to pull it off.
Here's the code in my routes.rb
map.connect '/:username', :controller => 'users', :action => 'show'
Beyond that i'm at a loss how to make links from various other parts of the application (I've got a User, Question, Friendship, Answer and Votes model at this point.
If sorry that I am unable to frame this question better, but it's one of the main reasons this application isn't getting further. Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks yo!
Oh yeah, PS I'd like to be able to add the questions and answers on top of the URL, such as:

Ray's offers fine dining from the Patina Group in a museum setting at LACMA. The restaurant's decor is a continuation on the art theme with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that overlook the outdoor sculptures and Eames and Eero Saarinen–designed furniture. The food comes from executive chef Fernando Darin, and starts with some of the best bread around—house made and wood-baked, it's at once chewy and crusty—then continues with handmade pastas and grilled meats, and ends with elegantly-composed desserts. Sommelier Paul Sanguinetti curates a thorough wine list and creative cocktails, also served at the adjacent Stark Bar. The patio fills up with lunch time museum-goers, while dinner sees a quieter crowd. Don't miss Monday night's dinner tasting menu where each course is a $10 steal.

A Campbellsville native was recently inducted into the National Association of Realtors RPAC (Real Estate Political Action Committee) Hall of Fame.
"I have been selling real estate since 2001," said Myra Oliver. "I absolutely love what I do."
Oliver says being inducted into that hall of fame is a prestigious honor based on a realtor's support for protection of private property rights. Everything they support or work against, she added, is with regard only to private property rights.
Unsafe water levels on the Green River have resulted in the organizers of the 25-mile Float Race postponing the event for three months.
Those who registered for the second-annual event received this message late last week from organizer, Kim Henderson:
Kids are going to get the chance to find their inner peace next week with yoga classes.
Clancy Leonard of Chicago is offering two days of free kids yoga at the Taylor County Extension Office.
Leonard is a certified next generation yoga instructor with family ties in Taylor County. She had made plans to visit family and thought she would offer something different in the community.
Taylor County normally hosts a Memorial Day program as tradition stands, but this year is special. A bigger celebration is set to take place to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice on the 150th anniversary of the holiday.
Bill Perkins, master of ceremonies and Vietnam veteran, has been in charge of the program for more than 15 years, having taken over the role of responsibility from Bob Rotschi.
A Taylor County Grand Jury indicted five people on charges mostly related to alleged thefts and drug use when it met Tuesday.
A road that will largely be used for buses at the new Taylor County High School on KY 210 will likely be added to the county road system.
At a special-called Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting Thursday evening, magistrates unanimously voted to eventually bring a roughly 1,000-foot extension of Old Pitman Road into the county road system.
A Campbellsville man was arrested Thursday for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl.
The Taylor County Sheriff's Office arrested William Wooley, 37, on Thursday on charges of third-degree rape and first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor — illegal sex act, a TCSO report said.
According to the report, TCSO deputies Brian Pickard and Robbie VanCleave investigated the reported rape of a 14-year-old girl.
The cloudy overcast skies on Monday were brightened by colorful balloons and warm memories of children that have passed away.
The Compassionate Friends of Central Kentucky hosted its annual balloon release in Miller Park .
The program joins hearts and hands together to decorate the world with balloons.
"It's like sending kisses on the wind to our children," Judy Dabney said.
"A symbolic way of sending a message to them and show that we still miss and remember them."
The Taylor County High School construction project has a new addition in the works that was a welcomed surprise for the principal.
Superintendent Roger Cook announced during Tuesday's board meeting that extra money has been found to build an auditorium.
"We have been frugal enough with taxpayers' money that we are able to, we believe, build an auditorium. Which is going to make a lot of folks happy," he said.
The addition is contingent on KED approval and pending the board's vote.
Another year has passed, but the memory of Kentucky State Police Trooper Johnny Edrington will never fade.
Officers stood at attention as they remembered one of their own nearly 28 years since Edrington was killed in the line of duty. The search to find his killer continues.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- About 150 cadets from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., are coming to South Dakota to help with flood cleanup.
KCCR radio reports that the cadets will travel by bus to Pierre-Fort Pierre. Pierre Parks Director Tom Farnsworth says they will help with sandbag removal and other cleanup efforts in both private and public areas on Friday and Saturday.
South Dakota's capital city and neighboring Fort Pierre were threatened by Missouri River flooding this summer. Emergency levees helped limit damage, and the floodwaters have since receded.

Researchers funded in the ShipArrestor project have developed an innovative method to slow down drifting ships and improve the speed and efficiency of marine rescue and recovery operations.
The new technique, which may contribute to greater marine safety, employs a huge parachute-shaped sea anchor.
The technology was successfully tested in Norway in June 2010. The rescue team, mobilised in the context of a drill, turned a heavy tanker to the desired direction and slowed its speed of drifting by 58%.
Thanks to the project, saving lives, preventing environmental disasters and recovering valuable cargo in case of maritime disasters may now become easier.

The State Bar of Michigan dedicated its 40th Michigan Legal Milestone commemorating the Kalamazoo Case on Tuesday, June 21, in Kalamazoo.

Wrap it in latex or she's gonna get your paychecks.
If I die at Walmart.. please drag my body to Target before calling 911.
Thank you.
I could tell by the look on the lady's face in the stall next to me.. that it wasn't the right time to play Peek-a-Boo.
I hate to sound racist but.. all of your baby ultrasounds look the same.
"You're ugly and you're a cunt."
I think that's the last time my coworker asks me how she looks.
Dear Tampax,
Please stop makin' the strings on your tampons so long. It's my fuckin' period.. not a visit from Tarzan!
Jessica Simpson said today her boobs are too big for running.. maybe she should try using her fuckin' feet, stupid bitch.
No girl is ever out of your league.. you just have to learn how to play the game, silly.
It's called dignity, sweetie.. and you're not gonna find it on your knees in the men's room.
I don't normally drink alcohol, but when I do.. it's weed. :)
I've done so many kegels in my 42 years that.. I can now shift my car with my vagina.
Hello, fellas! :)
Sometimes you just have to say.. fuck it, or fuck me, or fuck you, or fuck off.
Whatever the fuck works for ya, really.
Just found a bag of weed in the elevator.
Looks like someone's gonna have a bad day. And guess what? It ain't fuckin' me! Giggity!
Guys, if there's ever a doubt just look at her feet. If they're gnarly and look like eagle talons.. chances are, her pussy's not so fresh.
I like my men like I like my milkshakes...
thick and down my throat. :)
I miss the days when you could beat the shit outta someone without being video taped.
Honestly.. who doesn't like their asshole licked?
Seriously.. they never even mentioned it in sex ed, so it makes it ok to like it.
If I'm ever on life support, I'd like you to unplug me...
then plug me back in.. see if that helps.
My son forgot to hide his stash and his bong. Silly boy.. you know mama's gonna road test that shit. :)
Take another lick, bitch.. this is what awesome tastes like.
