THE WONDERS OF LIGHT RAIL
Due to a truck hitting a train signal at SW 12th and Yamhill, MAX Red and Blue line train service in both directions has been disrupted. Shuttle buses are carrying riders between Galleria/SW 10th Ave and Kings Hill/SW Salmon St stations. Riders traveling through downtown and throughout the system may experience significant delays.

OBAMA THREATENS FREE SPEECH!
The website CNet is reporting internet companies and civil liberties groups are alarmed over a Senate bill that appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector telecommunications and internet networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. A Senate source familiar with the bill compared the president’s power to take control of portions of the internet to what President Bush did when grounding all aircraft on September 11, 2001.
JAPAN THROWS OUT THE CONSERVATIVES!
Voters in Japan have ousted the conservative Liberal Democratic Party, ending fifty-five years of nearly uninterrupted rule. In elections on Sunday, the populist Democratic Party of Japan captured a record 308 of the 480 seats in the lower house of parliament. It was the worst election performance for the conservative Liberal Democratic Party since the party was founded in 1955. One analyst described the vote as a bloodless revolution, the first transfer of power from one party to another in postwar Japan. Democratic Party leader Yukio Hatoyama is expected to become Japan’s new prime minister. He is a longtime critic of Japan’s close relationship to the United States.
MAJOR ERROR ON THE MAX TICKET TRANSFERS! POLICY REMAINS UNCHANGED!
Al, I just posted this on the Yahoo page too. The text about trading in a MAX ticket for a transfer was a typo in the first printing of the Green Line pamphlet. It has been reprinted to say: "To transfer to a bus, just show the operator your validated MAX ticket as you board."
I talked with the Creative Services department to make sure this error doesn't appear anywhere else.

WOULD BE ROBBER AT BTC
The case: A would-be robber was prevented from holding up a man last month near the Beaverton Transit Center. Police said the hold up was averted by the efforts of officers, victims and a bicyclist who was passing by.
Jentre J. Hoffman, 23, was arrested after he tried to rob a Portland man. TriMet police were on patrol at the center and were drawn to the scene of the would-be robbery by the cries of a teenage girl who was walking with the robbery victim. Hoffman took off as police approached, but a passing cyclist knocked him to the ground, giving police enough time to make an arrest.
Update: On Aug. 10, Hoffman pleaded guilty to third-degree robbery.
What's next: He was sentenced to two years probation, and must complete courses for alcohol abuse, anger management and mental health. He was also ordered to have no contact with his victims.
