Posted on 12/09/2003 2:56:08 AM PST by John W
ABBEVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A father and son angered by a state plan to seize some of their land allegedly shot and killed an officer who went to the home, sparking a 13-hour standoff that ended in a "horrendous gunfight" in which another officer was killed, authorities and neighbors said. At least 100 officers surrounded the rural home of Arthur Bixby in western South Carolina on Monday. Bixby's wife then holed up in an apartment in town and threatened to shoot bystanders if her husband or son were injured; she was promptly arrested, State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart said.
It began Monday morning when a magistrate's officer went to the house in a rural part of the state to follow up on an incident from the previous week involving a dispute between Department of Transportation workers and someone from the house, officials said.
When the officer failed to return, two deputies went to the Bixby home looking for him.
What happened next is unclear, but the deputies called for help and law enforcement officials surrounded the home, and the standoff began.
Eleven hours later, officers unsuccessfully tried to storm the home and were shot at with powerful weapons, Stewart said.
"I've never seen so much force," Stewart said. None of the family members tried to negotiate with officers during the standoff.
"This was planned," Stewart said.
The gunfight lasted about 10 minutes and police fired tear gas inside the home. Bixby's son, 36-year-old Steven Bixby, surrendered. Two hours later, officers entered the home and arrested Arthur Bixby, who apparently was wounded in the gunfight. He was hospitalized and his condition was not available early Tuesday.
No formal charges had been filed as of early Tuesday.
At some point during the standoff, the Bixbys destroyed two remote control robots authorities sent into the house to figure out what was happening, Stewart said.
Inside the home, authorities found a dead deputy and what they described as anti-American literature and suicide notes. Similar material also was found inside the apartment in town where Bixby's wife was arrested. Authorities did not say whose apartment it was.
Stewart said the family had prepared for the standoff and fortified the house's doors to make it harder for police to break in.
Authorities identified the two dead officers as Danny Wilson and Donnie M. Ouzts.
Ouzts apparently had been shot from a distance with a rifle, state Public Safety spokesman Sid Gaulden said; Wilson was found inside the home. Authorities would not say which one first went to the house.
Gene Land, Bixby's neighbor who lives about a half-mile away, said Steven Bixby was angry because the state planned to take some of his land to widen the highway. The Bixbys had lived in the house for more than 10 years, Land said.
A dispute Thursday between state transportation workers and someone from the home on Highway 72 precipitated the incident, DOT spokesman Pete Poore said.
Planned standoff kills two
Father and son surrendered in flurry of bullets
By Charmaine Smith
December 9, 2003
ABBEVILLE Two law enforcement officers were killed in a shooting that led to an all-day standoff between officers and gunmen inside an Abbeville home Monday that ended in "a horrendous gunfight."
The standoff at the corner of S.C. 72 and Union Church Road ended shortly after 11 p.m., about 14 hours after it started, with the surrender of Arthur Bixby.
Mr. Bixbys son, Steven Vernon Bixby, surrendered shortly after countless gunshots were fired upon the house about 9 p.m. The elder Bixby surrendered after a second round of tear gas and bullets about 11 p.m., State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart said.
"They never negotiated with us," Mr. Stewart said.
Donnie Ouzts, 63, of the Abbeville County Magistrates Office, was found dead early Monday several yards away from the house.
Abbeville County Sheriff Charles Goodwin said Mr. Ouzts went to the house Monday morning apparently in an attempt to resolve a property dispute. When Mr. Ouzts didnt respond to dispatchers, two other deputies with the sheriffs office responded to the house.
Danny Wilson, an Abbeville County Sheriffs Office deputy from Calhoun Falls, was found dead inside the house after officers stormed the home just before 9 p.m., Chief Stewart said.
The second deputy, who was not identified, escaped uninjured and was back on the scene trying to negotiate with the gunman later in the afternoon, Sheriff Goodwin said.
Chief Stewart, in a briefing to members of the media about 11:15 p.m., said the shooters apparently had planned the attack. Two other people in the house Steven Bixbys mother and her mentally disabled son were taken to the Abbeville Arms apartment complex and told to remain there.
The chief said the two were told to "start shooting at people" if they heard of any violence at the Union Church Road home and that suicide notes, wills and anti-government literature were found inside the house.
Chief Stewart said officers first had to stabilize the scene at the apartment complex before opening a more aggressive stance at the house.
Steven Bixby and his mother, whose name was not available late Monday, had been taken into custody. Arthur Bixby apparently suffered a gunshot wound around 11 p.m. and was transported to the hospital.
"I go to every bad SWAT call myself, and Ive never been under this type of gunfire before in my 30 years with SLED," Chief Stewart said.
The standoffs first known victim, Mr. Ouzts, was a state constable, officers used by agencies on an as-needed basis. Any individual can become a constable if he or she completes a small amount of required training, Anderson County Sheriff Gene Taylor said.
But Abbeville County Magistrate Tommy Ferguson said a check of the offices logs did not indicate Mr. Ouzts was there to serve papers at the residence. Although he didnt know for sure, Mr. Ferguson suspected that his employee of eight years was simply there to help other law enforcement officials on the scene.
A state Department of Transportation spokesman said Mondays standoff followed an incident last week involving a man at the house and several workers. The man was upset with plans to widen S.C. 72 in front of the house.
Little information was available about the Bixbys Monday except from friends and neighbors at the scene, who gave differing accounts.
Johnny Copelend, owner of B.J.s Bar and Grill located near the scene, said Steven Bixby was a regular customer at his bar and that he would never have expected him to be part of what transpired Monday.
"Hes a nice guy. He got along with everybody in here," Mr. Copelend said.
A neighbor, Gene Land, said Steven Bixby has lived in Abbeville for the past 12 or 15 years, after moving from New Hampshire. Mr. Land said the 36-year-old Mr. Bixby was unpredictable and that he wasnt too surprised by the turn of events.
"Some days he was a friendly as he could be and other days he wasnt," he said.
He said Steven Bixby was disabled after hurting his back while working at Flexible Technologies about four years ago. He most recently worked as a food vendor at carnivals and festivals, Mr. Land said.
A food-vending trailer was visible outside the house Monday, where FBI, State Law Enforcement Division, and Greenwood and Abbeville city and county officials were part of the standoff throughout the day.
About 8:30 p.m., a fire was started at the end of the house, lighting up the home with an orange glow. At 8:48 p.m., about seven shots were fired. Two minutes later, more shots were fired in rapid succession.
Subsequent rounds of shots rang out shortly before 9 p.m. and movement around the house was visible. A gaseous substance then filled the air, choking workers on the scene and forcing people on the scene into their cars or out of the area.
A restaurant close to the scene gave out tea to help people fleeing from the gas.
Lance Cpl. Steve Sleuder, a South Carolina Highway Patrol spokesman, was one of the first people on the scene Monday morning. He found Mr. Ouzts on the ground outside the house and positioned a patrol car between Mr. Ouzts and the house to retrieve the officer from the scene. He had blood on his pants.
"We got him out of there," Cpl. Sleuder said.
Before news of Mr. Wilsons death, at least 30 family and friends of the slain deputy had gathered near the magistrates office Monday evening. Family members who did not want to be identified said they had received no information from police.
The shooters inside the house had an AR-15 assault rifle, capable of penetrating a bullet-proof vest, and a 7-mm. Magnum, Chief Stewart said.
The chief said officers used every means possible to negotiate with the gunman. SLED had an armored personnel vehicle on the scene. Welders arrived on the scene in the afternoon to install a battering ram on the front of the vehicle. Officers also used a loudspeaker to communicate with the gunman. Psychiatrists also were on the scene.
Officers had a robot designed to get closer to the scene without putting any officers in danger. About 5 p.m., officers could be heard over the loudspeaker saying:
"Steven, I told you we were not going to leave you. I want you to come out."

Standoff preceded by threats last week over road project
By Nicholas Charalambous
December 8, 2003
The man at the center of a police shooting and hostage taking in Abbeville County threatened workers with the state Department of Transportation with physical violence just three days before.
Transportation Department spokesman Pete Poore said a man last Thursday uprooted stakes to be used in the widening and realignment of S.C. 72 in front of the 4 Union Church Road home where Steve Bixby held off police Monday.
Last Thursday, someone in the house saw transportation department employees placing the stakes, came outside and made threats of physical violence that were considered serious enough for the local transportation department office to advise the Abbeville County Sheriffs Office, Mr. Poore said.
"I dont know exactly what he said," Mr. Poore said about the man. "He pulled the stakes out of the ground and threw them in the middle of the road."
The state had purchased all the needed right of way from the homes previous owner, Haskell Johnson, in August 1960, when S.C. 72 was first conceived as a potential four-lane highway from Clinton to Atlanta, officials said.
The home, now titled in the name of Rita and Arthur Bixby, was purchased from Mr. Johnsons estate in 1999, according to court records.
Construction near the Bixby home was set to begin Tuesday or Wednesday Mr. Poore said.
The existing highway, cutting diagonally in front of the Bixby property, was to be torn up and replaced by the new five-lane highway, planned to run farther away from and parallel to the home, according to a right of way map.
"He would have come out better," Mr. Poore said.
Planning for the first stretch of improvements to S.C. 72 through the town of Abbeville between S.C. 28 and Secondary Road 103 began in 2000 or 2001, according to Mr. Poore and Rick Green, a director at the Upper Savannah Council of Governments involved in the project.
The $9.46 million widening, part of a joint vision of Georgia and South Carolina transportation officials, was seen as a way to develop an alternate commercial corridor to Interstate 85 that could spur economic and industrial development, Mr. Green said.
No records were immediately available to indicate any objections lodged by the Bixby household against the project at official public hearings, Mr. Poore said. Mr. Green and Abbeville Assistant City Manager Nolan Wiggins also said they didnt recall the project arousing any unusual hostility among local residents.
You're talking about the police, right?
My verdicts in. Murdering lunatics who can't read a deed.
But that small fact doesn't stop the anarcho-ideologues from cheering them on.
Did you also visit the video website linked in #104? The son ranted about how they killed in self-defense, as if building a road on land legally sold to the good people of South Carolina by the previous owner gives these lunatics a right to commit murder.
"It was self-defense! They pounded stakes into the ground!"
Those mug shots are not there because they donated too much money to the Boy Scouts.
"Pssst. Don't show your hand. Don't let them know how much you resent their fascist takeover of the street, lest they round you up and hang you for being a True UberPatriot. Keep your powder dry, and bide your time. They're placing mind-control devices in the gutters, and are beaming their wicked signals into your home. But don't fret. Your day of vengeance will come. Live free or die! Live free and kill!"
"Pssst. Look at how mean the Blue Meanies were to those harmless old people. They had no right. They were probably coveting the pirate gold buried under their old peach tree. It's all so unfair, just like when your step-daddy used to beat you and place you all hungry in the dark cellar. You should post a reply, and throw in a nasty jab at the fascist government which is all hell-bent on personally making your life miserable."
Yeah, it's generally pretty stupid to slam the door in the constable's face after threatening highway construction workers on state land.
Actually, it may or may not have been. After communicating death threats, slamming the door in the constable's face may very well raise a necessity defense on the issue of unwarranted entry--i.e., the constable had reason to believe that Bixby posed an immediate threat to the life and limb of others.
Contrary to popular belief, threats of extralegal violence are not protected speech.
He was apparently shot in the back while cuffed.
Some "heroes."
Since the surveyor's plat gets updated with the easement, it's part of the due diligence while the property is in escrow. When I bought my new home last year, I had the sidewalk easement spelled out in mind-numbing detail by the escrow agent when I signed the closing papers.
Does the easement remain part of the property until the time it is to be taken?
Generally, once the easement is sold, the easement goes into effect immediately, and anything on that easement is now at risk.
Does the deed have to show that the new owners purchased a land with an easement on it that could be exercised while they hold the property?
There could have been a crooked deal, the deed might not have declared the easement since it was done in 1960 who knows?
Trust me, they knew about easements and recording them in 1960, even in poor, benighted South Carolina. My house was build in 1966, and the easement for the sidewalk was spelled out to within an inch of the easement's life. Since the state owned the easement, it was undoubtedly recorded on the surveyor's plat filed at the county assessor's office.
A SLED attack vehicle moves into position beside the house with the gunman which is in the background, on the left. . SWAT officers can be seen beside another house to the right which was not involved in the shooting. STAFF photo by Owen Riley Jr.
This photo is taken from at least 1/2 mile away with an extreme telephoto lens of 400mm or greater.
1.The gunman's house is at the left. We cannot see his front yard.
2.The exteme lens distorts the apparent distances, so there is no way to accuately judge how close the house on the right is to the road. The two swat members are some distance from the road judging from the apparent height of the dirt mound which is actually only two or three feet high as evidenced by the squad on the left.(The dirt appears to get higher as it gets closer to the photographer on the right.)
3. There are 5 distinct visual planes. The out off focus foliage which is close to the photographer, the road with the street sign. The squad. The near house and APC. The Bixby house.
One of two robots controlled by SLED rests beside a sheriff's car near the SWAT command. STAFF photo by Owen Riley Jr.
This is taken some distance away. This was taken with a shorter lens, 200mm judging from the apparent distance between the squads.
AT SWAT command law enforcement officers gather Monday afternoon. The van to the left is where officers are controlling the SLED robot which was on the front porch of the shooter's home. according to Sid Gaulden , PIO for public safety.
This is also some safe distance away from the Bixby house. The building to the right is apparently a church or business, judging by the design of the windows and the sign visible in the background. The photographer was not very far away from the officers, which also indicates it was a safe distance from the Bixby house.
A sniper can be seen on the ground to the left, where Highway 72 is being widened across from the house where the shooting occured. Monday. STAFF photo by Owen Riley Jr.
This gives a good example of the distortion of a very long telephoto lens. There are no landmarks to show how close the Bixby house is from the road.
Fire bombs go off as SWAT members storm the house on Highway 72 in Abbeville. STAFF photo by Owen Riley Jr.
Again, it is very hard to tell how close the Bixby house is to the road, but there is room for a squad to park between the road and the front of the house.
Go cry me a river, and take your whine to Handgun Control, Inc.
I do not condone the violence, but i can understand the rage that the Bixbys must have felt when the utility work would have cut off access to their driveway!!!
The JBT from the SC DOT didn't help matters either, apparently.
Maybe CJ's much vaunted investigative skills can see if their charge about other property owners losing their property in the same way is true? /sarc

BOSS 0599/S/GPS/EJ Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The BOSS 0599/S is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Boss collections 2015 and 2016.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
Even if this Boss is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Why professional athletes should run for office
By Bernie Quigley
Because they solve their problems.
And when did you last hear this from Washington: "I'd like to apologize to the fans, that for the last five, six months we've been talking about the business of football, not what goes on on the field."
That from Robert Kraft, owner of the Patriots, whom players say was instrumental in reaching an amicable agreement, even as his wife was dying of cancer.
Granted, Kraft is a towering figure, and rightly, we have come to expect more from men like Kraft and Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and player rep Jeff Saturday, center for the Indianapolis Colts, well-pictured on the front page of The New York Times this morning, affectionately comforting the mourning Kraft cuddled under his wing; big and bearded, vaguely giving the impression of God the Father. Because America is still healthy in the center, even if it is fraying on the edges, and at the center of the American journey at this moment is football.

At the end of the day when you are dieting the only thing that counts are the results. How you lose weight is not quite as important as did you lose weight. Right? Wrong! It does count how you lose weight. It does matter what steps you take to lose weight. Unless you are a celebrity the reality is most people do not have 5 hours a day to dedicate to themselves. Most people do not have access to specialized foods that are super expensive.
Most people do not have access to personal coaches. Some people go to the extreme to lose weight and that matters. It matter if you are on some crazy diet where you can only drink your meals. It makes you miserable. It matters how you lose weight because you risk putting it right back on if your methods are too extreme.
Anyone can lose weight by simply not eating but eventually you will have to start eating again and the weight will come back again. Please read further on reducing the appetite quickly with nutraceuticals. Everyone that is trying to lose weight has one thing in common, they want to lose weight fast with the least amount of discomfort. Weight loss pills have helped millions of people lose weight fast with very little discomfort.
Diet pills make weight loss something that is doable without going to the extreme. Diet supplements are something safe that you can take that will give you extreme results without going to extreme lengths. When you experience steady weight loss that is not uncomfortable you are less likely to go back to bad habits that will pile the pounds on. Its also good to be aware of the potential complications of garcinia cambogia.
If losing weight matters to you the journey should also count. You do have options that will help you to reduce your weight that does not have any risk of bad side effects associated with it.

In the Medieval Ages there was a period when bakers began cheating the public at such a rate that public outcry reached the ears of several kings. As bread was a daily staple of Medieval life, the bakers knew that they could charge a lot of money for minimal portions of their products. As such, kings levied laws against bakers stating that they were to lower their pricesand keep honest. In fact the common term "A Baker's Dozen" (meaning 13 instead of 12) came from this time period. Any baker caught selling less than an even dozen was strictly and harshly punished. As a result bakers began adding one extra loaf to be certain their count would be correct or even over the amount decreed by law.

Berto, Guerrero Not Distracted By Past PED Scandals
By Jake Donovan
Andre Berto sat ringside for Robert Guerrero's welterweight debut this past summer, though there was no ulterior motive behind his being in attendance. The former welterweight titlist was in town to clear his name with the California State Athletic Commission after a positive drug test killed plans for his twice-canceled rematch with Victor Ortiz and resulted in a suspended license.
The trip proved worthwhile; Berto was reinstated by the commission and ultimately wound up with a future opponent after Guerrero edged out Selcuk Aydin in a hard-fought battle. Berto returns to the ring for the first time in 14 months, as he will face Guerrero on November 24 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
HBO will televise the bout, a relationship that seems like old times for Berto, whose career rise has been covered in large part by the cable giant. Such news didn't seem possible a few months ago while his eligibility status as a prizefighter still hung in the balance.
"I didn't think about it at the time," Berto (28-1, 21KO) said of any lingering plans to face Guerrero. "I was just worried about my situation getting cleared up. It was a tough situation. Fortunately, me and my team didn't worry too much about it because we didn't do anything wrong.
"We found out exactly what it was - a contamination and a very, very small trace. We presented all of the results to the commission and were able to move forward."
Berto was the second of several high profile fighters to test positive for a banned substance this year, and also the second straight to get busted during random drug testing by the newly formed Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA). Lamont Peterson was popped six weeks prior for synthetic testosterone, causing an 11th hour cancellation of his rematch with Amir Khan, whom he defeated last December.
Golden Boy Promotions was the promoter of record for both canceled shows and have returned to United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) as its random drug testing company of choice. USADA's services have been utilized for this fight. It's all the same to Berto, who would have been just as fine with VADA, even past history considered.
"It's the same, I think. VADA realistically, they came five or six times to test me already – urine testing, blood testing. VADA came by every other couple of days. USADA was very relentless as well. Sometimes they came back-to-back (days). USADA testing was very more or less the same way. They're great testing companies. I don't have anything bad to say about either one. They both take blood and urine. There's not too much of a difference. Both of the companies are very effective."
Though his name is cleared, Berto still enters the ring under the watch of several skeptical observers. The Floridian will be pleased to know, though, that there exists at least one satisfied customer."
"Everybody's guilty until proven innocent, and Andre did that," states Guerrero (30-1-1, 18KO), who endured a year-plus long layoff of his own before returning to beat Aydin in July. "He took the proper steps and did the right thing to get licensed and back in the ring. I've been in the ring with someone on steroids before, so I know what it's like."
The fighter to whom Guerrero refers is Orlando Salido, who dominated the Californian in a featherweight bout six years ago. The shocking upset didn't hold, as Salido tested positive for nadrolone, changing the official result to a no-decision in the process.
Guerrero instinctively weary against every opponent, though hopeful that greater awareness and stricter testing regiments (relatively speaking) provide a level playing field.
"We take real caution against that. Every time we step in that ring we're putting our lives on the line. When somebody enhances, they're playing with somebody's life."
So does Guerrero believe his opponent was truthful in the events that took place earlier this year?
"Who knows?" Guerrero responds in laissez faire fashion. "Only he knows and God knows. That's the least of my concern. My job is to go in there and be prepared for this fight."
For seven years, that was also Berto's job as a professional fighter as well. Injuries, test results and commission hearing served as considerable roadblocks, all of which he's anxious to put that much further in the rearview mirror.
"It was sad that we had to go through all that we went through," Berto states. "But now we're here and in it to win it."

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Spark Therapeutics, a spinout of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, will team up with Genable Technologies to develop Genable's lead therapeutic GT038, a gene therapy designed to treat rhodopsin-linked autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RHO adRP).
The value of the collaboration was not disclosed, though the companies did say Spark will receive milestone payments and royalties on future sales of GT038, as well as near-term revenue from the manufacture and supply of product.
Under their collaboration agreement, Genable will license adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector manufacturing patents from Spark, which in return will serve as exclusive manufacturer of GT038 and provide development advice and expertise to Genable to help in ongoing development of the gene therapy.
GT038 uses AAV vectors with an established safety and efficacy profile to deliver RNA interference (RNAi) molecules to suppress the expression of faulty and normal copies of RHO and restore normal gene expression. GT038 has been granted orphan drug designation in both the U.S. and Europe.
"The collaboration with Spark provides an exciting opportunity to greatly expedite development of Genable's novel therapy targeted toward RHO-adRP," Professor Jane Farrar, founder and director of Genable Technologies and a professor at Trinity College (Dublin), said in a statement.
RHO adRP is a debilitating form of inherited blindness resulting from any one of approximately 150 different mutations in the RHO gene. While developing individual therapies for so many mutations is practically impossible, Genable says its "suppression and replacement" therapeutic approach allows a single therapy to treat all of the mutations in a gene while still correcting the primary genetic defect. The suppression component eliminates the target mRNA independent of the particular mutation present in the affected individual, while the replacement component supplies an mRNA encoding the wild type or normal protein.
According to Genable, RHO adRP affects approximately 1 in 30,000 people and represents an already identified and potentially treatable population of around 30,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe. Genable estimates the market opportunity for GT038 in the RHO adRP subtype to be over $500 million.
Genable says its plans to develop other gene therapies for a number of other adRP subtypes.
With $50 million committed by CHOP, Spark has set out to develop, then deliver multiple one-time gene therapy products for debilitating diseases, through a founding team that grew from CHOP's Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics (CCMT) from its 2004 inception into a recognized center of gene therapy innovation in research, translation, and manufacturing.
Spark's lead drug candidate is a gene therapy for RPE65-related blindness that is now in Phase III clinical trials. The company says the RPE65 therapy has the potential to be the first approved gene therapy in the U.S., and the first treatment to address the significant unmet needs of patients living with blindness due to inherited retinal dystrophies. Spark also has a Phase I/II program in hemophilia B, and preclinical programs to address neurodegenerative diseases and other inherited retinal dystrophies and hematologic disorders.

The Padmavyūha (Sanskrit: पद्मव्यूह) or Chakravyūha (चक्रव्यूह) refers to a Military formation narrated in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
The Chakravyūha or Padmavyūha, is a multi-tier defensive formation that looks like a blooming lotus (padma, पद्म) or disc (chakra, चक्र) when viewed from above.[1] The warriors at each interleaving position would be in an increasingly tough position to fight. The formation was used in the battle of Kurukshetra by Dronacharya, who became commander-in-chief of the Kaurava army after the fall of Bhishma Pitamaha.
The various vyūhas (military formations) were studied by the Kauravas and Pandavas alike. Most of them can be beaten using a counter-measure targeted specifically against that formation. It is important to observe that in the form of battle described in Mahabharata, it was important to place the powerful fighters in those positions where they could inflict the maximum damage to the opposing force, or defend their own side.
Abhimanyu and the Chakravyūha[edit]
The Chakravyūha or Padmavyūha was a special formation (Vyuha), and knowledge of how to penetrate it was limited to only a handful of warriors on the Pandavas' side: namely Abhimanyu, Arjuna, Krishna and Pradyumna, of which only Abhimanyu was present at the most-famous occasion of its use. Because he had never learnt to escape the formation, he was trapped upon entry and fought alone. After Abhimanyu had penetrated the sixth tier of the formation, all the Kauravas' commanders attacked him simultaneously, against the righteous rules of warfare Dharmayuddha, and gradually exhausted and killed him.
Alternative versions[edit]
The game of Kabaddi is claimed by some to have originated from the Padmavyūha.[2]
See also[edit]
The Chakravyuh is an offensive military formation that was used by Dronacharya during Mahabharata. As per this military strategy, a specific stationery object or a moving object or person can be captured and surrounded and rendered fully secured during time of military conflict. The pattern is of two soldiers on both sides with other soldiers following them at a distance of three hands, drawing up seven circles and culminating in the end which is the place where the captured person or object is to be kept. In order to make Chakravyuh, the Commander has to identify soldiers who will form this formation. The number of soldiers to be deployed and the size of the Chakravyuh is calculated as per the resistance estimated. Once drawn, the foremost soldiers come on either side of the component to be captured, engage briefly and then move ahead. Their place is taken up by the next soldiers on either side, who again engage the component briefly and then move ahead. In this fashion, a number of soldiers keep on passing the component and keep on moving in a circular pattern. By the time the last bit of soldiers arrive, the component, oblivious of the design is captured within seven tiers of soldier formation surrounding him from all sides. The last soldiers of the formation give the signal of completing the Chakravyuh. On the signal, every soldier who so far has been facing outwards, turn inwards to face the component. It is only then that the captured component realizes his captivity. The Chakravyuh keeps on moving in a spherical order and can easily lead the component away in captivity as well.
Formation of Chakravyuh is never visible from the ground. But anyone from above can easily decipher the movement. It is a hopeless no escape situation for the captive. This is correct on formation of Chakravyuh. This strategy was applied during prehistoric days. The component even if heavily guarded, cannot escape the web of a Chakravyuh. The art of breaking out of the Chakravyuh is also available. This strategy can be applied in certain current conflicts as well. This was detailed by Swami Charananandam himself.

One day in late August, the local Fox Sports channel in the Bay Area was conducting an interview with Brian Wilson, the San Francisco Giants' notoriously flaky closer, who was at his home on a Webcam. Wilson, holding his pet dog on his lap, was in the middle of an answer, when all of a sudden the TV host, and the entire viewing audience, got an unexpected eyeful.
A man appeared in the background, naked except for a leather thong, leather harness and leather mask. "What was that!?" gasped the flabbergasted host. After first playing dumb, Wilson finally deadpanned, "Oh, that's The Machine. He lives next door. He doesn't say much. He comes over for sugar every once in awhile."
If "torture" - the Giants' self-described style of play, which this weekend has them on the verge of the franchise's first World Series title in 56 years - had a face, it would be Wilson's: wild-eyed, mohawked, with a beard dyed jet-black for no apparent reason. And these days, it would also be wearing a huge smile.
Throughout this season, and especially the postseason, the Giants - who will seek to move one win closer to the championship when Game 3 is played Saturday night at Rangers Ballpark - have earned a reputation, well-deserved, as a ragtag band of "castoffs and misfits," in the words of their manager. But the Giants' roguish charms go beyond even that.
Their first baseman, Aubrey Huff, has been known to parade through the clubhouse in a red "Rally Thong" for laughs. Their ace pitcher, Tim Lincecum, has become a counter-culture hero in San Francisco, in part because of an offseason marijuana-possession arrest - which has led proponents of Proposition 19, a proposed statute that would legalize marijuana statewide, to use his face on placards and T-shirts that say, "Let Timmy Smoke."
"This club has a lot of character," said veteran outfielder Aaron Rowand. "Character and characters."
They have a hedonistic bent to them, these Giants, but Wilson managed to kick it up another notch with the introduction of The Machine, which has since become a minor sensation on YouTube. Some of the Giants may be wild and crazy, but even his teammates admit Wilson is in another league altogether.
"I don't think there's anyone out there like Brian Wilson," Lincecum said. "I don't think it's an act or anything. I think that's just his bright personality."
"He's a little out there," said Manager Bruce Bochy.
For the Giants, "torture" means nothing ever comes easily for them. (Forget for a moment that their wins in both Games 1 and 2 came with relative ease.) They generally play low-scoring games that hinge on late-inning drama. And Wilson has provided plenty of that this postseason.
He has made eight appearances this postseason without giving up a run, but he has allowed at least one baserunner in all but one of them. The ultimate expression of his high-wire act came in the ninth inning of the Giants' clinching win in Philadelphia in Game 6 of the NLCS, when he put the go-ahead runs on base with walks, only to strike out Phillies slugger Ryan Howard to end the game and put the Giants in the World Series.
"Nothing ever comes easy. That's the way this team has been. Nothing has come easy at all," Wilson said. "That's our baseball team. That's me."
But as with the entire Giants team, Wilson's eccentricities obscure just how good he really is. A former 24th-round draft pick out of LSU, by way of Londonberry, N.H., Wilson took over as the Giants' closer in 2008 and has gotten significantly better each year since.
In 2008, his ERA was 4.62 and he struck out 9.7 batters per nine innings. In 2009, his ERA dropped to 2.74 and his strikeout rate rose to 10.3, and this season - when his 48 saves led the National League - the numbers improved to 1.81 and 11.2. His fastball ranks as one of the best in baseball, averaging about 96 mph and occasionally touching 100.
"He looks stupid, but he's not. He's smarter than me," Huff said. "He's a great competitor."
And despite his menacing mound presence and bizarre personality quirks, Wilson takes seriously the duty of connecting with fans. He had his own reality TV show on a local sports channel, called "Life of Brian," much of which he shot himself. At one point, he described the Giants' visit to the White House during a trip to Washington, telling his viewers he was disappointed in the Obamas' dog.
Until 2009, he was a prolific Twitter user, tweeting frequently and insightfully about the life of a major league closer, until one particular tweet seemed to imply he had been out late partying on the night before a day game - in which he blew a save. He soon stopped tweeting.
"It gives fans an emotional attachment beyond drafting us for your fantasy team," Wilson said of his attempts to connect with fans. "Maybe now, they find out what we eat for breakfast on Thursday. When you sign for a million dollars, part of it is saying yes when a kid asks for an autograph."
Whether it's his fan-friendly efforts, or just the public's natural fascination with freaks, Wilson might be the most popular Giant of all back in San Francisco - where stores have sold out of Wilson-style fake beards and the stands at AT&T Park are full of Wilson look-a-likes and T-shirts that say "Fear the Beard."
Indeed, Wilson's beard is a marvel, seemingly reaching a new level of blackness each week. What is he putting on that thing, shoe polish?
"I don't know what you're talking about," Wilson said when asked that question. "It's dark because we play a lot of day games. It's tanned. It's focused."

Whatever He throws at us, we have to accept. We say it is all part of His plan and we are merely the pawns on the chessboard of life. My father olov hashalom said it is not the problems we have to endure but the way we deal with them that counts. In one year, I have lost my father, my mother-in-law and have a son, Gideon, with Hodgkins Lymphoma. In addition, my brother has had a stroke so positivity is just a word. However, with the help and support of my friends life indeed does go on and each day brings fresh challenges which can only strengthen one's character. May the Almighty continue to give me strength to overcome and help Gideon to make a full recovery. Through his articles and blogs I empathise with his spirit and positivity which filters through to me. I still count all my blessings.

Programming note: Sharks-Wild coverage gets underway at 7:00 p.m. with Sharks Pregame Live, only on Comcast SportsNet California
Where they stand
Sharks: 19-6-6, 44 points, 3rd Pacific Division, 4th Western Conference
Wild: 18-10-5, 41 points, 3rd Central Division, 7th Western Conference
Goals per game: 3.23 (3rd)
Goals-against per game: 2.36 (8th)
Power play: 17.8 percent (17th)
Penalty kill: 82.4 percent (16th)
Goals per game: 2.27 (26th)
Goals-against per game: 2.21 (4th)
Power play: 21.2 percent (8th)
Penalty kill: 79.2 percent (23rd)
Probable lines
Patrick Marleau - Logan Couture - Tyler Kennedy
Tomas Hertl - Joe Thornton - Brent Burns
Matt Nieto – Joe Pavelski – Tommy Wingels
Freddie Hamilton - Andrew Desjardins - Marty Havlat
Marc-Edouard Vlasic – Justin Braun
Matt Irwin – Dan Boyle
Brad Stuart – Jason Demers
Antti Niemi
(confirmed starter)
Alex Stalock
Zach Parise – Mikko Koivu – Jason Pominville
Nino Niederreiter – Charlie Coyle – Jason Zucker
Matt Cooke – Kyle Brodziak – Torrey Mitchell
Justin Fontaine – Zenon Konopka – Dany Heatley
Ryan Suter – Jonas Brodin
Marco Scandella – Jared Spurgeon
Keith Ballard – Clayton Stoner
Niklas Backstrom (likely starter)
Josh Harding
The latest
Sharks: The Sharks let a two-goal third period lead slip away against the previously sinking Islanders, losing 3-2 in a shootout. San Jose dropped its fourth straight (0-3-1) while New York ended a 10-game losing streak. Patrick Marleau (power play) and Joe Pavelski scored in the loss, and Antti Niemi made 26 saves. The Sharks conclude a brief two-game homestand tonight, and begin a three-game road trip on Saturday in Nashville.
Wild: Jason Pominville's third period power play goal was all the offense the Wild could produce in a 2-1 loss in Anaheim last night. Josh Harding took the loss with 29 saves. Anaheim improved to 12-0-2 at home. This is the second of a three-game trip for the Wild, who visit the Avalanche on Saturday.
Keep an eye on…
Sharks: Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The Sharks' shutdown defenseman was on the ice for both Islanders goals on Sunday, and has a minus-4 rating in his last four games. He and partner Justin Braun will almost certainly get a steady dose of Minnesota's imposing top line, and they will have to be more effective than they have been recently.
Wild: Zach Parise. The Wild's star forward leads the team with 26 points, and is second with 14 goals, including two against the Sharks on Sunday. He averages more than a point-per-game in his career against San Jose, with 11 points (5g, 6a) in 10 career games.
Sharks: Raffi Torres (right ACL surgery), Adam Burish (back surgery) and Scott Hannan (upper body) are out. Mike Brown (lower body) is questionable.
Wild: Mikael Granlund (concussion) is out.
Season/All-Time series
This is the second of three meetings. Minnesota, which beat the Sharks 3-1 in St. Paul on Sunday, visits the Sharks again on Jan. 25.
Zach Parise had two goals, including an empty netter, in Sunday's Wild win. Josh Harding had 37 saves, as the Sharks outshot Minnesota 38-13.
The Sharks are 26-15-2-5 all-time against the Wild. At home, San Jose is 11-1-1 in its last 13 games against Minnesota.
"We've just got to start scoring. I've had a lot of good looks over the past month and haven't been able to put them in. It's adds to frustration to your game, just like the power play does, and hopefully we can turn the corner soon and start scoring." – Logan Couture
Burning question
Where should Joe Pavelski play – in a top-six role, or as the third line center?

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
These girls can be awfully ruthless! Apparently a groupie (who shall remain nameless) has penned an open letter to Gabrielle Union, claiming she had sex with DWade and still has some clothes at his home. Oh girl, messy! Read below:
Seems like the Miami Heat has made its appearance on mediatakeout yesterday. So its only right i put Dwayne Wade on blast. First and foremost i'd like to thank ***** Wade, his cousin for booking my numerous of flights.
Ohh yea, hi Ms. Union. Good too see you stuck around and have a few more pieces of clothing inside of his house. The kitchen looks great by the way. I love the new counter tops. I would also like to thank Rich, the chef for his amazing breakfast. His cookies are the best.
And last but not least I'd like to thank Dwayne for always making me feel comfortable on your side of the bed. Hiding pictures in your drawer. You know the night stand next to your side of the bed, the one with the two drawers. Think the picture is the one with you and Sanaa Lathan in it.
Also Gabrielle you are a little to old to be making Valentines day Photo albums. Leave that to the young girls your man cheats on you with. Dont believe me, i took a picture of the picture.
FYI your man likes fat a**es you might need to get you one. Last but not least. I will send you a picture of the bags your man left in the hotel room i f*cked him in. lol
Oh, but don't think Gabby didn't see it. Check out her response below:
Screenshot via YBF
Views: 6033
Gabby is the jump-off. Remember Wade was married when he met her so Gabby shouldn't be surprised. Why answer if she was so 'unconcerned'. I think she knows it's true and is attempting to do damage. You don't see Wade on Twitter dismissing this or defending Gabby's 'honor'.
I suppose it's hard to ignore a chick who's describing your bedroom......especially if her descriptions are accurate.
I just wanna know why the chick felt the need to write the letter? Is she mad that Dwayne is done with her? Putting their "relationship" on blast won't bring him back to her. I just don't understand.
I agree with Smitty. I think that Gabby knows that this is true and is trying to do damage control. That jumpoff rubbed Gabby's nose all in it.
"Future Socialite" I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like she got cut off and is angry about it. I don't see why Gabby is responding either. I am sure D-Wade does his thing and Gabby is aware of it. I guess it may not be the best idea to bring these jump offs to the house though. These ninjas. Dayum.
Oh boy. Idk if her motive behind writing this letter was fame or just out of spite. I see no point behind this at all. But one day these hoes will learn. I have hope.

The Portugal side has been announced for Euro 2012, and it looks dangerous.
Captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, the team features some dynamic players. If they can work together, this could be one of the most feared teams in the competition. They have firepower from all over, and if it comes together, this team could be the European champions.
Obviously, a team featuring Ronaldo, Pepe and Nani have to face the threat of inconsistency. They can lose their heads in a match, and that could end Portugal's chances instantly.
However, if the team stays focused (like Ronaldo did this year), they will be in great shape.

Many families cut their own Christmas tree as a holiday tradition. Ours was no exception. Each year we anticipated the excitement of walking through the woods in search of the perfect tree. Oh, the fun we had singing carols all the way home.
The year we married, my husband and I selected a tree that didn't seem big in the "cut your own" lot. Once home, we realized getting it to our upstairs apartment presented a challenge. My husband instructed me to go up to our front porch. "I'll hand the tree to you. Then pull it up," he said.
When I grabbed hold of the top of the tree, I couldn't lift it any further. I stood, bent over the railing, holding the tree. As my husband raced upstairs, a man walked by. He looked at me, turned away, then looked again. I began singing, "Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree." The man laughed but kept walking. I had hoped he would offer assistance. Finally, my husband was at my side pulling the tree up.
When our first daughter was 2, she became convinced she had cut down our Christmas tree with some help from Daddy. When we brought it home, we found a bird's nest close to the trunk. Friends told us that would bring good luck.
The best adventures in Christmas tree selecting and sawing happened when both daughters were preteens. Then we ventured far into woods with deep snow. One year the snowdrifts measured higher than 2 feet. A friend gave us permission to cut a tree on his rural property. Forward progress was nearly impossible in all that snow. Besides seeing dozens of pine trees, we saw a red fox and deer.
At last, we found a beautifully shaped, large tree. Our daughters carried the saws while I brought the rope. My husband pulled the heavy tree ahead of us.
While struggling through the deep snow, he stepped out of his boots. Our daughters and I stopped walking and stood laughing. We were so convulsed with giggles, we couldn't call to him.
Suddenly, he turned and said, "This snow is getting into my boots. My feet are freezing."
Our daughters and I, still laughing, could only stand and point to his boots. He asked, "What's so funny?"
Finally he spotted his footwear standing in the snow and laughed, too, as he trudged back and put them on. We chuckled about that incident that Christmas season and for years afterward.
The most memorable moment came when we had found the perfect tree at the top of a long trunk. I suggested we keep looking, but my husband assured us he could cut just the portion of the tree we wanted. He climbed up and stood on branches extending from the sizable trunk. Then he began sawing beneath him.
"Dad, what are you doing?" asked our older daughter. "Will you or the tree land on top?"
"Trust me," he assured us. I always worried when he said that.
As he sawed, the tree began to sway. I couldn't watch; I was sure my husband would be injured. He jumped down just as the trunk cracked and fell away from us. I felt relieved and our daughters were thrilled to have a gorgeous Christmas tree and their intact father. We added that story to the rest of our Christmas memories.
My husband made each excursion exciting. He gave us moments to laugh about for the rest of the year. Each time we retold the story of our Christmas tree-cutting adventures, we relived the thrill.
