Windows.Forms.Keys to OpenTK.Input.KeysPosted Tuesday, 1 March, 2011 - 12:57 by Dirk in
You could make a Dictionary Map...
Dictionary<Windows.Forms.Keys, OpenTK.Input.Key> keys = new Dictionary<Windows.Forms.Keys, OpenTK.Input.Key>(); //Then do: keys.Add(Windows.Forms.Keys.A, OpenTK.Input.Key.A);
Then if you want to get the OpenTK equivalent of a pressed WinForms key just do: keys[Windows.Forms.Keys.A] and it will get you OpenTK.Input.Key.A
Of course to make such a list is boring work but you just have to type it one time :)
A large switch statement would be even faster than a dictionary.
But indeed a (static) function for OpenTK-Key to WinForms-Key might be nice, any chance/interest in having this in the library? Is "clear out all WinForms dependencies" (which I think is a really nice and want to have thing) a problem here?
There is some overlap ranges in the enums, so I think it will be faster(little) to use "if, else if" statements. In those range, such as A-Z, just convert using:
(OpenTK.Input.Keys)formsKey + offset
From experience this is usually no good thing to do since the codes may be different on other platforms, or even change for one platform (the system is still consistent then unless something relies on the castdown to e.g. integer).
I know this is old but for most keys this would work:
private static OpenTK.Input.Key ConvertKey(System.Windows.Forms.Keys key) { try { return (OpenTK.Input.Key)Enum.Parse(typeof(OpenTK.Input.Key), Enum.GetName(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Keys), key)); } catch { return OpenTK.Input.Key.Unknown; } }

D5000 - Auto Rotate Images
Hey guys n gals,
im quite new to the d5000 but loving it.
What i would like to know, is there a setting to auto rotate the images so they appear the correct way when i download them to my computer?
#1. "RE: D5000 - Auto Rotate Images" | In response to Reply # 0elec164 Nikonian since 15th Jan 2009Sun 11-Jul-10 07:21 PM
Page 170 of the D5000 manual explains the 'Auto-Rotate' feature and that you will find it in the 'Set up' menu.
Be aware though that not all programs honor that setting so whether it is rotated or not will depend on the program. Programs such as ViewNX, CaptureNX 2 or Adobe PS will honor the setting, but programs such as Windows Explorer and Paint do not.
Hope that helps.

thanks for the reply, i do have one option switched on but not sure if the correct one. will give it a check.
I use nikon transfer then use photoshop cs5
#3. "RE: D5000 - Auto Rotate Images" | In response to Reply # 0
Some third party transfer programs will do the rotation for you. I am a fan of Downloader Pro by BreezeSys.com.

I agree that Gerrard looks better further back these days, he can keep the tempo going and ping long passes for runners. Hendo is the obvious choice, but again I prefer him further back, I guess he Gerrard can take it in turns to push forward like they have in previous games. For me Suso isn't ready for a game of this magnitude. Sterling, Downing and Hendo or whoever plays need to have big games if we are going witness another european miracle. Fingers crossed.
It comes to this again. Big European night where we need to pull out all the stops, cross fingers and hope things go our way a little.

|[EN]The Cova des Coll (Felanitx) has a current survey length of 7,020 m, of which 5,529 m are subaquatic. The cave has two natural entrances and two artificial wells also connect with it. One of the natural entrances connects with the bay of Portocolom and the other is inland. Part of the cave lies below an urbanised area of Portocolom. The principal characteristic which highlights the geomorphology of the cave is the almost complete absence of speleothems due to the corrosive effects of the water and the large abundance of corrosion morphologies, which we have catalogued by form. It appears that the level of destruction of speleothems decreases moving inland and moving downward. The sediments of the Cova des Coll have two clearly definable units identifiable both by colour and by mineral content: an upper layer whose composition is mainly carbonate where calcite dominates and its colour is lighter and a lower one where silicic components are its principal characteristic along with its reddish tone. There are important differences moving through the cave, especially between the sections closer to the sea, which lack the upper layer, and those more inland, which are formed by more or less sandy mud with high levels of clays. In addition to these accumulations which can be considered as being earlier, red muddy accumulations have been seen on the walls in many places, which show signs of erosion and which represent earlier stages of in-filling during different environmental conditions to those now. The water-column profiles of salinity and temperature have four well-defined bands. The directness of communication with the bay determines the currents which distort the typical profile, except at greater depths. These depths are less effected by mass movements of water into and out of the cave as the bay level changes with barometric changes. An important flow of water in the interior chambers has been observed, where the water rises up the chamber walls owing to the different densities toward the surface of the water column. The faunal distribution, including salinity preferences, has been studied in the different sections of the cave. 15 species of non-arthropod invertebrates have been catalogued and their distribution is closely related to their distance inland from the sea. 7 sponges have been classified, three of which are not worthy for their first sighting along the Spanish coast. Amorphinopsis pallescens, if not a new species, is the second sighting of this species in the Mediterranean. The sponges have robust spicules, which indicate a high level of available silica. The studies carried out show evidence that the source of this is the sediment. Of the two polychaeta Found Bispira viola constitutes the first sighting of the species for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Twenty-nine species of crustaceans are reported from the cave, 5 of them corresponing to harpacticoid copepods and 1 to an ostracod. The rest belong to diverse groups such as leptostracans, decapods, amphipods, isopods, mysids, thermosbaenaceans, and calanoid, misophrioid and cyclopoid copepods. 61% of the species are stygobionts (i.e., obligate groundwater dwellers); the rest correspond to littoral marine species characteristic of suprabenthic or crevicular marine habitats, preadapted in some way to live in caves, or are neritic species characteristic of the plankton of bays and harbours. Four of the stygobiont species are new to Science. 9 of the species found in the cave are Balearic endemics. Following the detailed study of this cave it has become apparent the urgent need to establish effective protective measures which will permit the conservation of this natural and culturally valuable patrimony.

The high pressure sales tactics at the Peoria location is criminal. They are taking advantage of the Sun City population and scaring them into buying overpriced frames and lenses.
They are charging $400 for a set of eyeglasses that you can get for $150 at Lenscrafters or Sams Club.

Drawing With Pluginscomments (0) April 9th, 2011 in blogs
The other day I was looking through an old book and came across a ladder back chair with a rush seat. I thought it would make an interesting excercise in SketchUp and commenced to drawing it. I made a comment to a friend that it didn't take a lot of time to draw because I used some handy plugins. He suggested I give a quick description of what I did so here it is.
Here's an overall view showing the hidden geometry. The basic process is very straightforward and like anything, if you go through it in a methodical way, it is quite manageable. Remember a few key things to make the work easier and more efficient. Draw parts in situ to avoid excessive move operations and potential errors. Make a component of one part before you move on to the next one. Get as much of the component completed as possible before moving on to the next part. This is especially useful when other components will be drawn in reference to the ones you already have.
I started at the origin with the front leg. This is a simple cylinder with the top rounded over. There are several ways to round over the top including drawing a profile and running Follow Me. I used the Round Corner plugin, though. Select the top edge of the cylinder, activate the tool, set the radius and hit enter. After the first leg was drawn, I copied it over to the proper location for the other leg. I also made sure to flip the leg along the red axis so it would be mirroerd. It doesn't look any different at this stage but later, when the mortises are put in for the runs, they'll be located correctly in both component instances. I also took a few moments to change the component axes so they are located at the center of the bottom face. This will make it easier to precisely insert the post later if I wantt o bring it in from the component library.
The back posts are slightly more involved. The original chair has a straight back but I decided to put a little bend in it. After using some guidelines based off the front legs, I located the centers of the back posts. I drew a vertical plane on which to draw the profile of the straight post. The posts have a bit of taper which I put in with Bezier.rb. I used Bezier to draw the knob as well. You could also use You could also use Bezier Spline Tools for this. The bead at the base of the knob was drawn with the arc tool.
Follow me made quick work of turning the back post. Then I wanted a 3° bend in the post. The bend occurs just above the seat rails. I used the Radial Bend tool in FredoScale for this. You can see the additional hidden lines in the vicinity of the bend. The post was then made into a component and its axes were changed so the origin is at the center of the bottom faces as I did for the front legs.
Since this post was drawn in place at the back left corner (as you're facing the chair), I copied it over to the right and put that copy in the correct location. Then I made sure to flip it along the red axis.
Next I moved on to the front rungs. Of course I only drew one and then copied it to make the other. I located the center line of the bottom rung between the two front legs at the correct height. Then I drew a profile using Bezier between the two legs. I didn't bother with the tenons on the ends at this stage. The rungs only just fit between the legs.
After making the rung into a component, I copied it up to make the other front rung. Then I select both front rungs and copy/rotated them around the centerline of a front leg to make one set of the side rungs. After making those copies, they were made unique and moved up the proper distance. Then they copied to the opposite side and flipped along the red direction. Obviously these rungs were too long. I opened one of them for editing and used Scale to shorten up the rung. I scaled from the rear end and, rather than figuring out a scale factor, I scaled to the front side of the back post. If you were drawing these parts scattered about with the intention of moving them into place later, you wouldn't have the post as a reference.
I copied the bottom front rung to the back, made the copy unique and scaled it to fit between the legs. I copied the rung straight back and scaled it while holding Ctrl to invoke Scale About Center. I was able to use the back post as a reference for the scale distance. Be sure you open the component for editing before scaling so that you modify the component definition correctly.
It's not real obvious in the drawing but the end sections are actually the cylindrical tenons. Instead of drawing the tenon as part of the profile, I used Push/Pull to pull the ends out after using Follow Me on the profile. I left the tenons until all of the rungs were in place. Since I used Scale to change the length of the rungs, if the tenons had been drawn before scaling, their lengths would have been scaled, too.
The back slats are identical so I only drew one. I started out by drawing a flat one and then used Shape Bender to bend it. I could have used Radial Bend as I did on the back post instead. I made an exception to the rule of drawing in situ for this part. Shape Bender rrequires that the original be drawn parallel to the red axis and the curve to which the component is bent must be in the same orientation. I drew the flat slat standing upright and after getting the bent one, I moved that into place at the top of the back posts. Then I copied it to make the other three and rotated them into the proper alignment. I selected all of them and rotated them together 3° to match the angle on the back posts.
The seat was perhaps the most involved part of the whole chair. I guess it would be in reality, too.
As you can see in the image above, I drew the seat as four quadrants. the left and right side are instances of the same component so I really only made three. I laide out the lines dividing the sections. This is where the rushes cross in the weaving process. I drew it flat and then pulled the middle line down a bit with the Move tool. then I drew around the legs and seat rails. I created the surfaces using the Skinning tool in Curviloft although there are several other plugins such as the Extrude Tools with which this could be done. After getting the surfaces, I wanted to give the seat a bit of thickness so the edges where the rushes wrap over the seat rails would be thicker. I used Joint Push/Pull for that. As you can see by the back face color, green in the image, there are no surfaces on the underside. Unless you were to look at the bottom of the chair, it wouldn't show and leaving the surfaces out helps to keep the file size down a bit. Curviloft leaves the surfaces as groups but I converted them to components.
When I was finished with the individual seat components I selected them all and made a nested component to make it behave as a single entity for selection purposes.
With the seat component drawn, the chair was complete except for the mortises. I haven't done them yet but they could be created in a number of ways. You could use Intersection, you could draw them in manually or, if you have the pro version of SketchUp 8, you could use the Solid Tools.
You may already have some or all of the plugins I've mentioned. If you've had them for a long time, you may want to download and install them again. Many of the plugins were updated in the last 6 months to take advantage of some of the changes in the Ruby API with SketchUp 8. Also make sure you download any required acompanying files and install them as well. Many of the links I've posted point to threads on the Sketchucation Forum where these plugins are hosted. Carefully read the first post in those threads to see if there are other required files and to get links to guides to help you learn how to use the plugins.

Trotsky, Whose Lively Street Art Became An Off-the-Wall Album Cover for Bob Dylan
A happier fate awaited another Trotsky last summer after '60s rock revolutionary Bob Dylan sent agents scurrying to locate the creator of a mural he'd spotted on a building in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen district. Signed "Trotsky," the painting, a colorful acrylic-on-brick of a dancing couple, adorns the side of the Kowk Wah Chinese Restaurant at Ninth Avenue and 53rd Street. When Dylan wanted to photograph it for the cover of his 35th Columbia Records album, Oh Mercy, Columbia minions went in search of the artist not with axes but with a contract for more than $5,000.
Weeks later, Trotsky was located with the help of a local community group. "There I was in early July, returning from landlord-tenant court, completely exhausted, and the phone rings," says Trotsky, 36, who owed back rent on his ramshackle $369-a-month studio near his mural. "I answered with a whine." And utter disbelief when told of Dylan's intent. "I said, 'You're full of it,' " he recalls.
Though named for his father, a sanitation worker, Trotsky—who won't reveal his last name—really owes his unusual moniker to his grandfather, a veteran political southpaw. His own father, Trotsky says, "was social, but not socialist."
Flirted with now by agents and galleries—"I'm hot right now and I love it," he says—Trotsky enjoyed an audience with his benefactor at a Dylan concert in July. "He told me my painting blew him away," says the artist. "He was also concerned that I liked the title of the album to go with my artwork. That was very nice."
But Trotsky has also received an even higher compliment. His mural, painted in 1986, has survived without a speck of graffiti. "That's very flattering," he says. "That's the risk you run when you paint on the street. You can really tell what people do and don't like."

I was a Gay Liberation Front activist in London in the 1970s, among other things setting up West London GLF and organising gay dances attended by hundreds in Fulham Town Hall.
I have experienced and benefited from the huge change in attitudes towards Gay men and Lesbians in England and elsewhere during recent decades. During my teenage years, in the UK any sex between men was a crime, whereas now civil partnership offers a legal status on a par with marriage, and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation is increasingly outlawed. This transformation has huge implications for gay relationships, and my motive in writing is to explore the impact of this new freedom and portray its effects. My first novel, Goodmans Hotel, was published in 2003. My second, a more humorous book, Closer Than Breathing - A Light Gay Odyssey - came out in 2009.
I live with my partner in West London, and am a member of GALHA, the LGBT sectin of the British Humanist Association.

A little late, but here's my report from attending FOSDEM 2015 back at the start of February.
I've been to FOSDEM a few times in the past, but not for the last few years. It happened to co-incide with other events, or other family things took priority and then got out of the habit, so I'd not ended up going for 6 years or so!
This year at the last minute I applied for some funds to go, was accepted and made the most of it. I've listed below all the talks & sessions I went to, with some brain dump notes I took about some of them. At the bottom I listed some sessions which I didn't enjoy or get a lot out of, but are listed for completion. I've also linked directly to the videos of the talks if they're available at the time of writing. If not I've linked to the directory they should appear in at some point in the future.
A GPS watch made of free software and hardware – Federico Vaga, Matthieu Cattin
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/main_track-hardware/gps_watch__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- http://www.ohwr.org/projects/f-watch/wiki
- Interesting talk outlining the methods the team used to develop a fully free software and hardware smart watch.
- Goal was to allow hackers to make their own from off the shelf parts rather than an assembled unit.
- Learned a lot about tools which I'd not used before including KiCAD (http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite) and FreeCAD (http://www.freecadweb.org/)
- Not convinced I'd ever consider making one, but was enlightening to see the technology used to make a fully open device. Was surprised how functional it was.
Recycle your Android devices for anything: run real Linux on them – David Greaves
Talk video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-embedded/sailfishos.mp4
- Room was pretty packed with quite a few Jolla / SailfishOS friendly people at the front – managed to score myself a Jolla beanie hat from them 🙂
- I was interested in this talk because it was focussed mostly on porting Mer & SailfishOS to Android devices.
- We have a similar porting guide in Ubuntu but ours was outdated and inaccurate. This was fixed recently.
- The Mer project had a nice overview of ports status online (https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris), which I've shamelessly stolen for Ubuntu (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uUHF463g4f4L5ljWZf0l7b4VAevM-twHag4ZoEd_TNc/edit?usp=sharing)
- Interested in the community they're building specifically around porting – dedicated irc channel, irc meetings and real world meet-ups are something we should probably consider for our (Ubuntu) porters because right now I think our porters feel a bit helpless at times
Are distributions really boring and a solved problem? – Lucas Nussbaum
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-distributions/distributions_boring_solved_problem.mp4
- Illuminating talk about some of the problems the Debian project faces currently
- As I'm not a Debian developer it was interesting to me to learn a bit about the Debian Sausage Factory and some of the issues they/we face
GCompris goes Qt Quick with the help of KDE – Bruno Coudoin
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-desktops/gcompris_goes_qt_quick_with_the_help_of_kde__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- A quick talk from Bruno about the work he's done to port GCompris to the Qt framework
- Learned that the development model for GCompris includes using In-App-Purchases on non-free platforms (Google Play store) to fund development of Open Source projects.
Copyleft in Europe: How does copyleft interact with Exhaustion Of Rights – Amanda Brock, Andrew Katz
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-legal_and_policy_issues/copyleft_in_europe__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- This was a super fascinating and slightly complex legalese talk which I admit I didn't completely follow, but Amanda and Andrew made it digestable for a layman such as myself 🙂
Fork and Ignore: Fighting a GPL Violation By Coding Instead – Bradley M. Kuhn
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-legal_and_policy_issues/fork_and_ignore__CAM_ONLY.mp4
Slides: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/talks/LinuxCon-North-America-2014/kallithea.html
- Brilliant talk from Bradley, one of the highlights from FOSDEM. Slides above are from a different event, but same talk as far as I can tell.
- Was enlightening to see an alternative way to deal with a GPL violation than the default which seems to be to take legal action and sue
- Not all forks are bad 🙂
Ubuntu on phones and beyond – Michał Sawicz
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-desktops/ubuntu_on_phones_and_beyond__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- Michał gave a brief talk to a pretty packed room about the current state of Ubuntu for devices, and the future direction
- Turned into more of a Q&A, which was beneficial as much of the audience had questions to ask
- Was interesting to see some of the same questions come up again and again
- Depressing to still get "Haha! LOL Amazon shills" comments and questions
Mobile == Web – Stormy Peters
Video: http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-desktops/mobile_web__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- Call to arms to developers to make their sites work well on the web for the next generation of smart phone users
- Disappointed to see yet another Mozilla person preach about openness from the confines of a MacBook running OSX
Maintaining & Growing a technical community – Ali Spivak
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-mozilla/ud2218a_maintaining_growing_technical_community__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- Ali gave some illuminating stats about contributions to the Mozilla project and how that fluctuates over time
- Lots of info about what motivates people to contribute to open source projects and Mozilla in particular
- "Being open is no good if nobody can find your resources" – we (Ubuntu) have some fixes to do there
Internet all the things – using curl in your device – Daniel Stenberg
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-embedded/curl_device.mp4
- This was one of my favourite talks from FOSDEM. Learning how many projects use a simple (hah) tool like curl
- Even learned about some command line options in curl that I'd not seen or used before.
- Worth a watch
Living on Mars: A Beginner's Guide – Ryan MacDonald
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/keynotes/closing_fosdem__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- Fantastic talk to round off FOSDEM 2015. Ryan gave a fast-paced & entertaining talk about the Mars One mission plan and his part in it.
Porting Tizen:Common to open source hardware devices – Phil Coval
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-embedded/open_hw_tizen.mp4
- Another porting talk (to go along with the Jolla one above) specifically talking about porting Tizen to Open Hardware
- Interesting to hear about the Sunxi community build up around porting
Reached milestones and ongoing development on Replicant – Paul Kocialkowski
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-embedded/replicant_embedded_freedom.mp4
- Fascinating talk detailing what lengths Paul goes to in order to develop a fully Free Software implementation of Android
- In short, it's not 'finished', and with the limited number of devices it's possible to 'open up' probably won't be any time soon
GNOME – creating ripples in the Linux eco-system – Sri Ramkrishna
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-desktops/gnome_creating_ripples_in_the_linux_ecosystem__CAM_ONLY.mp4
- I was somewhat disappointed in this talk as it seemed to be billed as showcasing the best of what GNOME have done over the years, but came across as poorly thought through and the points a bit laboured.
Servo (the parallel web browser) and YOU! – Josh Matthews
Video:- http://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-mozilla/ud2218a_servo_and_you.mp4
- Josh did a great job of showing the state of Servo right now and where gaps exist in the functionality, certainly worth watching for the Servo demo alone

Skill Level Appropriate for all
PivotTables haven't changed dramatically since the 2007 version, but the Slicer is a new feature that gives PivotTables some interactivity. Now in this workbook, 05_01_ slicer.xlsx, we have two sheets: We have Data, which is the underlying data, and we have Table, which is the PivotTable. So if you're not already in the PivotTable, you might want to go there and click somewhere in it. When we're in there, you see under PivotTable tools we have the Options tab, and we have the Design tab.
We want to insert a Slicer. So go to the Insert tab and choose Slicer, and this tells us what Slicer we can do. Basically, what this means is we can filter the data by any of these items. Let's put in Region and Month, and this is going to create two Slicers, so click OK, and maybe arrange them where they're easier to see. So we have Region, and we have Month. Before we even use them, we can go and format them to make them a little easier to use.
I have Month selected. So you have various styles that you can choose from. Hit the down arrow. Whatever floats your boat. I'll go over here to Region, and I'll give that also a corresponding look. Now, let's go and use it. Right now, I have Central, Northeast, Southeast, and West, but in the Slicer, I can narrow this down just to one of those. If I decide that I want to unfilter it, just click on this little Filter button, and that unfilters it. Same thing for Month, maybe I just want to see January, or maybe I just want to see February or March, and then I can unfilter it.
Now, there are some settings here that you might want to use. You could either get there by right- click, or when you're in the Slicer tools > Options, over here on the left you have Slicer Settings and click that Slicer Settings. So you could change the name. I'm just going to change the caption. Right now, this is Month, so I'm going to change this to say Month 2010. And some other options here that are pretty much self-explanatory. Click OK, and now this tells us that it's Month 2010, just in case you wanted that to be a little bit more specific.
So the rest of the PivotTables are pretty much the same, but the Slicer will let you filter it a little bit more interactively.

Shirt Recon
Made from two of Misha's old button downs. I mostly just use a pin-try-on-and-repin method of figuring out shapes because I'm too lazy/impatient to use patterns, don't yet have a dress dummy to do the modeling for me, and am unable to do the kind of architectural conversion of two-dimensional polygons into three-dimensional objects that you need to be able to create patterns in your mind. Do you remember the architect on Project Runway? I always thought that was an excellent fit in terms of the kind of visualization skills both fields require.
I really like how this came out - it's tunic length and goes reasonably well with my obsession with that baggy, loose, swingy style. Top bad it's a tank and we're about to head into fall.... One of these days I guess I should try to deal with sleeves.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Winners of two ITC (Intercollegiate Team Championship) Championships, the University of Pikeville women's bowling team has had plenty of success. But KT Simpson had one of the best individual performances in 2013-14, capturing ITC Most Valuable Player and Mid-South Conference Player of the Year honors in the same season.
The sophomore from Boise, Idaho's accolades come in at No. 5 in UPIKE's Top-10 Moments of 2013-14.
Simpson was the first national MVP since Ashley Galante took the honor in 2008. She also earned a spot on the ITC All-Tournament Team and was named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Bowling Coaches Association.
Apart from her success on the lanes, Simpson was also on the Academic All-MSC list. UPIKE finished the season strong, making its second straight appearance in the ITC finals where it lost to Robert Morris (Ill.).

Recovery act funds boost BadgerCare Plus, COBRA options
The federal economic recovery act will deliver nearly $1.2 billion to Wisconsin over the next two years for state health programs, preserving a safety net that's likely to be tested as more people lose their jobs and health insurance.
The money comes at a time when enrollment in BadgerCare Plus - the state program for low-income families with children under 21 - is expected to increase sharply.
"It gets us over this hump that's so dramatic right now," said Michael Jacob, project coordinator for Covering Kids & Families at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a state coalition that works to reduce the number of uninsured children and families.
Enrollment in BadgerCare Plus already is up, growing by nearly 10,000 in January. Increases in enrollment typically lag unemployment by several months.
"There is no doubt the pressure on BadgerCare is going to be enormous, and that's what people are going to rely on for health care," said Gov. Jim Doyle.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act also provides another option for people who have lost their jobs since Sept. 1. The federal government will pay 65% of the cost of buying health insurance through a former employer - commonly known as COBRA - for nine months.
The subsidy could be critical for people who need to maintain their health coverage between jobs because of the complex regulations involving pre-existing medical conditions. But even with the subsidy, buying insurance through former employers is costly for families living without paychecks.
For that reason, many more families are likely to seek insurance through BadgerCare Plus. The program provides coverage for children and parents with household incomes of up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines - $44,100 for a family of four.
State regulations designed to prevent people from dropping health benefits from employers and enrolling in the program don't apply if people lose their jobs.
Eligibility is based on current income. That means that families with current incomes below the cutoff are eligible immediately.
It's hard to predict how many more people will enroll in BadgerCare Plus, said Jason Helgerson, who oversees the state's Medicaid programs.
An estimated 230 people a day in Wisconsin lost health insurance coverage in December and January, according to the Center for American Progress, a Washington, D.C., think tank.
"When the economy takes a dip, a really large group of people is in a world of hurt," said Jacob, of Covering Kids & Families.
The additional money means the federal government will pay about 70% of the cost of BadgerCare Plus and other Medicaid programs for roughly the next two years. But the money comes with a hitch: States can't restrict eligibility for state health programs.
Wisconsin has already received its first chunk of Medicaid funding from the recovery act, drawing $132.9 million last month. By the close of the fiscal year on June 30, Wisconsin will have received $305.2 million and is set to bring in another $892.3 million by the end of 2010.
The increase in Medicaid funding comes as the state still faces a $5 billion deficit through mid-2011.
Some criticize balancing the program's budget using funds that won't be available after the stimulus dollars run out.
Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) is concerned that the federal funds to manage the program's budget will just leave a $1.2 billion hole for the next budget cycle.
"(Doyle) is digging his way out with one-time money from the federal government and using it on ongoing programs, which is what disturbs me the most," Fitzgerald said.
One of the goals of the recovery act was to help states maintain health programs at a time when tax revenues have fallen sharply because of the economic crisis. The hope is that by the time the money runs out, the economy will have recovered and tax revenues will have increased.
Doyle said the alternative would have been to restrict eligibility when people need state programs most or reduce what's paid to health care providers.
Not all qualify
BadgerCare Plus isn't an option for everyone. For example, people with grown children aren't eligible. And a family may have a household income that's higher than the cutoff but still be unable to afford health insurance.
The federal recovery act also includes $24.7 billion to subsidize the cost of continuing coverage through a former employer. The subsidy is available only to people who involuntarily lost their jobs since Sept. 1.
Previously, people had 60 days to decide whether to opt for the coverage, said Charles Stevens, an employment benefits lawyer with Michael Best & Friedrich. Under the recovery act, people who have lost their jobs since Sept. 1 will get a second chance to sign up.
The subsidy doesn't apply retroactively but will go toward future coverage.
Whether the law will apply to people who accepted buyouts from employers isn't clear.
The federal government is expected to issue final rules on the subsidized coverage shortly.
Employers can spend $14,000 a year for family coverage and $4,800 a year for individual coverage, said Rich Yurkowitz, a principal with Towers Perrin, a benefits consulting firm.
That means continuing family coverage could cost approximately $400 a month with the subsidy.
For some people, particularly those with savings, the subsidized coverage could be a bridge between jobs. For others, BadgerCare Plus may be the best option.
The state health program covers more people than similar programs in many states.
"Here in Wisconsin we take care of our own," Helgerson said, "and folks are going to be able to continue to get health care."

After years of constant growth the sale of used car fell down up to 10%. Cars or any automobiles that have come off the lease or are resold to the dealers and they are thoroughly inspected before sale are a rising segment in the used car segment. Pre owned or used cars have become a latest trend and their demand is increasing and the used cars have become a very important segment not only for dealers who deal with used cars but also for automakers.
During 1990 old cars that were coming off the lease were traded for the new and the latest models. Manufacturers of luxury automobile manufactures thus started programs for the certified pre owned cars. Cars which are being sold once will show brand loyalty. For manufactures of new cars vehicles means maximum revenue from all those products that have been used once and sold again.Get the facts about preownedengines.com see this.
Pre owned cars are given proper repair and washing before they are sold to another person. The latest trend in pre owned cars is that pre owned cars are certified and this certification gives a double assurance to people about the quality of the product who wants to own them. If you are planning to buy a pre owned car it means you are getting more than for the money you pay.
