On Sunday, the two stood gently in front of the bronze parapets that envelop the giant reflecting pools, which stand in the correct footprints of the former twin towers. 





First Lady Michele Obama stands by the president's side, and Laura Bush stand next to the former president. 





On May 5, when he visited the site, Obama renowned, "It did not matter who was in charge, we were going to make sure that the perpetrators of that terrible act that they established justice." 





At the time, the former president wished to stay out of the spotlight, CNN reported a Bush spokesman saying. 





But today's ceremony combined the two families, and was noticeable by the memorable sign when Michele Obama comforted Laura Bush as she broke down in tears.

Indian Corruption: Hundreds held over Hazare protest



India has deIndia has without it is stifling democratic protest after police arrested 1,300 people to halt a starvation strike by an anti-corruption activist. 





A famous campaigner Anna Hazare was arrested hours before his fast against a proposed new anti-corruption law.
India's Home Minister P Chidambaram said the detentions were because protesters had not obeyed police circumstances for the demonstration. 













"We are not ruling out a peaceful democratic protest we are trying to find a reasonable set of conditions under which protests can take place."
Mr Hazare says India's anticipated anti-corruption should be able to investigate any official including the prime minister and judges. 





Correspondents say he has accessible a growing challenge for the Indian government on corruption in Asia's third leading economy, where a series of new high profile scandals have tarnished the government's image.
As news of Mr Hazare's arrest increase, his supporters came out on the streets of many Indian cities in complain. 





Those peoples were arrested at different places in Delhi, with most of them being taken to a stadium in the city.
Mr Hazare, 74, had pledged to go on famine strike in the capital, Delhi, on Tuesday despite police denying him permission to fast for more than three days. 





India's Home Secretary RK Singh said Mr Hazare had been seized because he said he "intended to challenge prohibitory orders" and go on fast at a park in Delhi.
The police laid down six conditions for the swift to take place, which included the following. 





'Corruption culture'

Nikon Shows Off Wild model Cameras



Nikon was on hand over at some sort of French photography show called Hello Demain, which it seems that means Hello Tomorrow. 

























 The show the photography massive was showing off new prototype and idea digital cameras that do not look like anything. I would have likely from Nikon. 





 This camera is really cool and goes little steps more in customization than just letting you choose lenses. The camera has an identical grip and LCD as well. 





The weirdest of the plans is a concept called the Nikon Multiball. There aren’t any real facts and the thing looks like some sort of 3D panoramic camera to me.





The next prototype camera looks similar to tablet with handles on each side. The thing has a 6 inch screen and a variable lever. 





I imagine the nanny cameras is on front and the big screen would let you see your photos and video more happily.





The Nikon i-Ball is an anther concept with no description, but from its looks, I would bet it is a webcam of some sort. What do you think of these cameras?
