Bakewell Bridge speed camera labelled a 'cash cow'
Family First MP Robert Brokenshire says the Glover Ave camera's
location - aimed at the down track of the Bakewell Underpass - is all
about revenue raising and not road safety, after it caught the
second-highest number of motorists in Adelaide.He fears the next eight
fixed roadside cameras to be installed could also be positioned to
maximise revenue instead of minimising road accidents.
The Glover Ave camera, which became operational on May 28, caught
7469 speeding vehicles in its first year of operation, according to the
latest police figures.Mr Brokenshire said there was no evidence the
section of Glover Ave, where the fixed roadside camera is located, was
a traffic accident black spot.The site did not appear on a list of the
top 10 black spots for 2008-10, which was obtained from the Transport
Department by Mr Brokenshire under Freedom of Information laws.
"The camera is aimed at traffic as it travels on the down slope
into the underpass because that is where motorists are most likely to
unintentionally creep over the speed limit," he said.Mr Brokenshire
said this month's $50 increase in traffic fines, which the State
Government estimates will raise an extra $15 million a year,Its
avoidance is the biggest problem facing any gadget nerd. This
affliction, this curse that disables so many would-be tablet and infant video monitor
buyers, only intensifies for those of us who somehow manage to
procreate. gives motorists more reason to be cynical about the purpose
of some speed cameras.
He said only four of the 10 accident black spots correlated with
the top speed camera sites.Road Safety Minister Tom Kenyon yesterday
said the Glover Ave camera was erected after a survey in 2008 showed 58
per cent of all traffic heading down into the underpass was travelling
over the speed limit.The U.S. government has sued a former NASA
astronaut to recover a mini dv video camera
used to explore the moon's surface during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission
after seeing it slated for sale in a New York auction."The Bakewell
Bridge site has appropriate signage warning drivers that a fixed speed
camera is operating at the site," Mr Kenyon said."My message to Mr
Brokenshire and all drivers is simple: `If you don't want to get caught
speeding,You can keep them with you for long periods of refrigerant and they would provide you with the same new look every time. don't speed'."

Janice Evans-Davis.The U.S. government has sued a former NASA astronaut
to recover a mini dv video camera
used to explore the moon's surface during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission
after seeing it slated for sale in a New York auction.According to
Davis, anyone that commits a violation at an intersection with a
red-light camera will now have to pay their ticket.The announcement
comes a day after a federal judge ruled the city may not appeal his
ruling invalidating the election last fall when voters said red-light
cameras should be turned off.¡¡
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes announced the decision in a brief
order on Friday.City Attorney David Feldman said he believed the judge
is trying to bring the case to a speedy disposition creating a final
judgment that the city can appeal without asking Hughes for
permission.A representative for American Traffic Solutions told the
Houston Chronicle that the red-light camera contractor would not
comment.
Hughes last month ruled opponents of the cameras waited too long to
put the matter on the election ballot. About 53 percent of voters in
November said the cameras should go.Meanwhile, the city says those who
have received a red-light citation before the cameras were turned off
and still haven't paid, they're looking for you.There are reportedly
more than $20 million in outstanding red-light tickets.
"If you received a citation before the cameras were turned off we
are still looking for you,Its avoidance is the biggest problem facing

fines that are still outstanding.The fine is $75, if you are late more
than 45 days which all of them are now, tack on a $25 late fee.So what
happens if you don't pay?Not much if you live in Harris County. It
won't show up on your credit report because the city isn't sending

Think Tank Photo, one of my favourite camera bag companies, has
been making awesome bags since 2005. Just in time for summer, they have
released a new bag they call Retrospective 5.The folks at Think Tank
were nice enough to send me one to review and I have been putting it
through its paces over the last few weeks.Think Tank Photo is
relatively new to the camera bag scene, compared to standard names like
LowePro. Because it was formed by two working photographers and two
designers, Think Tank products have always been unique, yet highly
functional.
This holds true for the Retrospective 5, which is designed with a
micro four-thirds camera or small DSLR in mind. The shoulder bag is
made from canvas and available in two colours ¡ª black or a
retro-styled pinestone.The design is minimal, so it diverts attention
from the valuable camera you carry inside.I was able to comfortably
carry a larger-sized DLSR with a lens attached, as well as a longer
zoom lens for getting some shots of the kids¡¯ soccer moves.
Everything packs away quickly into the main compartment, which has
movable padded inserts you can use to customize the bag to your gear.

Camera on helmet allows viewers to observe what quarterback sees
University of Washington business students Marc Barros and Jason
Green, each also avid skiers, needed an entry for an entrepreneurial
contest. Hey, they thought, why don¡¯t we figure out how to attach a
camera to a ski helmet and film our runs?The hands-free cameras have
been used largely by skiers, cyclists, hunters and similar outdoor
enthusiasts, but recently have begun to creep into widespread use in
team sports such as football, putting a whole new spotlight on the
company.
It was one of Contour¡¯s cameras that Washington coach Steve
Sarkisian affixed to his quarterbacks for the school¡¯s Spring Game
last April. A video of a couple of minutes of Keith Price wearing one
was linked by national web sites and has had roughly 35,000 views on
YouTube.Little known at the time was that Barros, the CEO of the
company, is a former soccer player at Issaquah High and Washington,
attending Washington from 2000 to 2003.
"Pretty exciting," said Barros of the publicity that has begun to
