There was no room in the plan for release of Abhi even if his parents had paid the ransom as they had pre-planned to kill him because they were aware that if released their victim could create a number of problems for them.While Vicky was indebted to Ravi Verma, from whom he had got jewellery for his marriage made, to the tune of Rs 2 lakh to Rs 3 lakh, Jasbir Singh, whose wife was a cousin of Vicky, had taken a loan of similar amount from Vicky. Both Vicky and Jasbir, according to Mr S.K. Sharma, IG, Jalandhar Zone, who supervised the investigation which led the crime to crack within 18 hours, were upset over their loans. To get rid of their loans, they made the plan. Developing affinity with Abhi was part of the plan, according to which, they had to first kidnap Abhi without any suspicion and then kill him to avoid revelation of their identity at a later stage.

Beating the odds: New technology helps Whiting woman fight cancer

Pamela Downs-Angotti was told she had had four to eight months to live.

She had long been a smoker, but when they found malignant tumors, she didn't want to believe it. Following an urgent call from her doctor, the Whiting woman just took a trip to the grocery store as if all was normal. She didn't even tell her husband, Ron, until the day of her first tests.

Downs-Angotti was supposed to be dead nearly four years ago.

But thanks in large part to a new technology at The Methodist Hospitals in Merrillville -- stereotactic body radiosurgery -- Downs-Angotti is still alive and for the past 2.5 years has been cancer-free.

"I was determined that I was going to do everything I was supposed to do," she said. "It's been my attitude the whole time."

She underwent surgery -- waking up to the sensation of pain slicing down her back.

Obama extends streak with wins in Hawaii and Wisconsin

Then there's MSNBC's Chris Matthews who tells Felix Gillette in the New York Observer, “I've been following politics since I was about 5. I've never seen anything like this. This is bigger than Kennedy. [Obama] comes along, and he seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament."

UPDATE: Let me be clear: I'm not saying there shouldn't be enthusiasm in politics. I'm merely touching on the fact that some Obama supporters' exhuberance seems to be getting a little out of hand.

Mamet, Miller, Scorsese and Stones

Not since Clifford Odets has an important American playwright known Hollywood quite so well (or loathed it quite so much) as David Mamet has. In his 1988 satire "Speed-the-Plow" two Hollywood producers offer up a particularly dazzling array of Mametian verbal pyrotechnics focused on the struggle between commerce and culture on the Left Coast. In this new production, the producers are played by two actors with considerable experience of Hollywood themselves: Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum.

Lee Miller was definitely one of a kind. A great beauty, she became a highly successful fashion model in New York during the '20s, posing for the likes of Edward Steichen and George Hoyningen-Huene.
