Police officers arrived in a truck and other vehicles by 6 p.m. to close down the Chronicle newspaper offices on Carey Street
If President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and her CORRUPT Government were to send these Police officers that barricaded the National Chronicle newspaper to LOFA where the outbreak of EBOLA started would have been in the interest of the LIBERIAN PEOPLE, BUT THE MADAM DON'T CARE ABOUT US LIBERIAN, BUT TO ATTACK PEACEFUL CITIZEN. THIS TOO IS LIBERIA.
Liberian do not appreciate anything good. Why should a publisher call for the downfall of a government? You go to Egypt and other countries around the world and see if there is no action taken against you for high treason . Even in America, there is limit on freedom of speech. We have enough trouble already with our citizens dying on Ebola. And remember there is a state of emergency.
Read and Read again what Browne's paper published. The opinion of a group of Liberians opposed to this government. Not an editorial that is the opinion of the paper. Besides, that story was published before Obama called Presidents Sirleaf and Koroma. To arrest and close down his paper because it published the opinion of others is difficult to comprehend. Especially when this action is taken by a government that boasts of freedom of the press as one of its achievements. ironies!!! Beware Journalists, Ellen's securities are desperate like roaring lions. looking for whom to blamed for their boss's inability to manage the present crisis. As long as she didn't state the rights and privileges that will be suspended, her securities now got over whelming power to arrest anybody in the name of state of emergency. Don't be surprise if some members of Liberian populace, who think governance and government are about force, give them support, even if they violate laws that are not subject to change under the S of E.
To muzzle the free press is tantamount to frustrating the fight against the Ebola virus which the state of emergency was intended to foster.
I though people said there is freedom of speech is in this Country, why should the police close on of our eyes? How will we see? Please Madam President leave our eye alone.
Liberian government, this is not time for side shows, please focus on arresting Ebola with all necessary resources and manpower at hand. That should be your sole and driving force currently....Stay focus on Ebola that is killing our people...And return the equipments sized...We can't afford your distractions...This is not the time...If anything, you need all the good will and collaborations with the 4th Estate.
Let the law take its course. Force and intimidations is not a wise tactic. In a chaotic health situation, Fear and stress are excellent recipes for distractions, misinformation, distrust, division and many other negative vices that undermine peace, unity, and socio-economic development. Let the facts, evidence and proof of wrong doing be determined legally.
Daily Observer, you are dying slowly. Inventing realities and watering down news in favor of a bad regime. It is not all Liberians that are functionally illiterate. There are those who read and see through your smoke screen over this sad story.

DENVER — Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes has offered to plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty — a deal that would bring a swift end to the sometimes wrenching courtroom battle and circumvent a prolonged debate over his sanity.
The attack during a crowded midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" left a dozen people dead and 70 injured.
The plea offer, made by Holmes' lawyers on his behalf sometime before March 12, was disclosed a defense court filing on Wednesday. It was made public just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek the death penalty.
The filing didn't include the specifics of the offer. It said only that Holmes would agree to life in prison without parole — instead of the death penalty — and didn't mention any other concessions.
Pierce O'Farrill, who was shot three times, said he would welcome an agreement that would imprison Holmes for life. The years of court struggles ahead would likely be emotionally stressful for victims, he said.
Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed, said he has wanted prosecutors to pursue the death penalty. But he said he wouldn't object to a plea agreement if it avoided a lengthy court battle — and if Holmes got no privileges in prison.
"That was kind of a sore point with us," he said, referring to privileges such as outside exercise or listening to music. "We didn't think this kind of person should have any kind of privileges except the bare essentials."
In their court filing, Holmes' lawyers again said they were exploring a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and would mount a vigorous defense if prosecutors rejected the plea offer and the case goes to trial.
Holmes was widely expected to enter an insanity plea at his arraignment on March 12, but his attorneys told District Judge William Sylvester they had too many questions about the constitutionality of Colorado's death penalty and insanity statutes to advise Holmes on how to plead.
Sylvester then entered a plea of not guilty on Holmes' behalf but said he could change it later to insanity if he chose.
Doug Wilson, who heads the state public defenders' office, told The Associated Press Wednesday that prosecutors haven't responded to the offer. He didn't know whether prosecutors had relayed the offer with any victims as required by state law.
"The defense, by making this public pleading, is reaching out to the victims' families," Recht said.
Winter cited unnamed law enforcement officials saying Holmes sent drawings that foreshadowed the attack to a psychiatrist. Holmes' lawyers contend that whoever spoke to Winter violated a gag order.
The “bizarre” 22-year-old man facing the death penalty for brutally beating to death an 88-year-old man in Belmont before stealing his Jaguar will soon see a court-appointed shrink, prosecutors said.
Tyler Hutchinson, the transient accused of committing the only murder in Belmont last year, was scheduled to be assigned doctors Tuesday, prosecutors said.
The city’s police chief called the hideous attack on Albert Korn “one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my law enforcement career.”
Earlier this month, defense attorneys said in court they doubted Hutchinson was competent to stand trial. In a courtroom outburst, Hutchinson tried to prove his attorney’s wrong, but in doing so he instead strengthened their case.
They're fooling themselves. The basic indicators of voters' intentions -- their general mood and attitude toward the policies of Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- are clear and solid. Unless those indicators change, and most experts believe that would take a huge, unforeseen event that fundamentally alters the political equation, Democrats are in for serious losses this November. The only question is whether those losses will be big enough for them to lose their huge majorities in the House and Senate. Even if they're not, the party will be badly weakened in the next Congress.
The latest evidence is a new survey from pollsters Peter Hart and Bill McInturff for the Wall Street Journal and NBC. The number of people who say the country is headed in the wrong direction is 62 percent -- the highest it has been since the final days of George W. Bush. The troubled economy, of course, is the most important issue, and 66 percent say they expect the economy to stay the same or get worse in the next year.
"There is a sense across the board that things aren't working," says Republican pollster David Winston.
Obama's approval rating is at 45 percent, versus 48 percent disapproval -- the first time the president has ever been underwater in the Journal poll. (By way of contrast, the president's approval rating was 61 percent in April 2009, his high point in the Journal poll.)
People are not happy about the way Obama is handling the economy, with 50 percent disapproving compared to 46 percent approving. He's also being hurt by the Gulf oil spill. Fifty percent in the survey disapprove of his handling of the crisis, compared to 42 percent who approve. That's not much better than George W. Bush's rating for handling the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which was 53 percent disapproval, 36 percent approval six months after the storm and the media's subsequent battering of Bush.
A president's personal approval rating is often higher than his job performance rating. With Obama, the two are more or less the same: 47 percent personal approval versus 45 percent job approval -- neither very good.
Obama has also taken a fall when it comes to the sometimes hard-to-describe attributes that shape public opinions about leaders. The Journal asked whether people "strongly relate to [Obama] as your president," or whether they related to him somewhat, only a little, or not really at all. The number of people who say they strongly relate to Obama as president has gone from 50 percent on Inauguration Day to 29 percent today, while the number of people who say they don't really relate to him has gone from 8 percent then to 30 percent now. There's clearly a growing alienation with the once enormously popular president.
Of course, Obama isn't on the ballot this November. But his ratings contribute to what Winston calls the public's "overall sense of the ability to govern." From that perspective, Obama's troubles are the Democrats' troubles.
And Democrats in Congress have plenty of their own. When asked their preference for the outcome of this year's elections, 45 percent of those surveyed say they want Congress to be controlled by Republicans, while 43 percent want Democrats in charge. In April 2009, people wanted a Democratic Congress by a margin of 48 to 39.
The pollsters asked whether voters would be more or less enthusiastic about a candidate if they knew he supported a particular position on the issues. The most popular positions were cutting federal spending, reforming Wall Street and repealing the national health care law -- two Republican issues and one Democratic one. By a wide margin, people are more enthusiastic about a candidate who promises to repeal health care than they are about a candidate who is endorsed by Obama.
Architects turn to the sea with real proposals for subaquatic living - Archpaper.com Architects turn to the sea with real proposals for subaquatic living
Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut has revealed ambitious plans for Aequorea, a series of self-sufficient floating villages constructed of recycled plastics from the Great Pacific garbage patch. Each jellyfish-like eco-village would spiral down to the sea floor—forming 250-floor “oceanscrapers”—and house up to 20,000 people. The 250 floors would contain science labs, offices, hotels, sports fields, and farms.
Micro-algae would grow in the aquatic walls, and the villages would operate on algae fuel or hydrocarbons. According to Vincent Callebaut Architectures, the objective of Aequorea’s residents would be to “explore the abyssal zones in a respectful way, in order to speed innovation and to democratize new renewable energies – by definition inexhaustible – massively.”
Callebaut also designed Lilypad, a floating city that could house 50,000 people. The proposed city’s form mimics the intensely ribbed Victoria water lily. An artificial lagoon would lie in the center, surrounded by three marinas and three mountains. These ribs would house work, shopping, and entertainment, while food and biomass would be produced below the water line.
The Ocean Spiral, an underwater metropolis proposed by Japanese construction firm Shimizu Corp, would drive energy from the seabed and house up to 5,000 people. Homes, businesses, and hotels would reside in a sphere 1,640 feet in diameter and connect to a 9-mile spiral that extends to a submarine port and factory. Ocean Spiral would use micro-organisms to turn carbon dioxide into methane.
According to Shimizu Corp, the project is being researched by Tokyo University, Japanese government ministries, and energy firms. Shimizu Corp believes the necessary technology will be available in 15 years and construction would take five.
London based design consultant, Phil Pauley, designed Sub Biosphere 2, a network of biomes to house 100 people below water. The center biome would rise 400 feet above water, submerge 20 feet below water, and regulate fresh air, water, food, electricity, and atmospheric pressure.
The surrounding biomes would split ten stories above water and ten below. Residents would live off hydroponic crops, grown in the biome seed bank.
Chinese construction firm, CCCC-FHDI, commissioned England and China based firm, AT Design Office, to design a four-square-mile floating city utilizing the technologies CCCC-FHDI is using to build a 31 mile bridge between Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhunai.
AT Design Office proposes prefabricated hexagons connected by underwater tunnels. The hexagons would contain residential, commercial and cultural facilities. All residences would have ocean scenery from every direction. The top of each block would have a club, while the bottom would contain an equipment room and a gravity regulation system.
Architect Slavomir Siska said, “China Transport Investment is reviewing the proposal and is likely to start to test this ambitious project from a smaller scale next year.”
This 3,000-foot-long, 1,600-foot-wide manta ray is actually a floating university campus, called the City of Mériens. French Architect Jacques Rougerie designed the city to accommodate 7,000 academics for research and education. The city contains classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, residences, and recreation, which would all run on renewable marine energy to produce zero waste.
Rougerie told Weather.com, “I designed the City of Mériens in the form of a manta ray because it was the best design to accommodate such a community with regards [to] the best possible correlation between space and stability needs.” The manta ray form is to counteract turbulence, while the descended structure is to maintain steadiness—rising 200 feet above water and 400 feet below.
Although these ambitious proposals and renderings can be mistaken for science-fiction, organizations are seriously investing in their research and implementation. Maybe we will see smaller scale aquatic cities in our lifetime, but in the meantime, here is Kevin Costner’s Water World:
