Home Page Chess Life Online 2010 August US Senior Open Kicks Off
US Senior Open Kicks Off |
By GM Larry Kaufman | |
August 23, 2010 | |
The US Senior Open began last night in the Boca Raton (Florida) Marriott with three GMs (Alexander Ivanov, Sergei Kudrin, and myself), three IMs (Joe Bradford, Emory Tate, and John Watson), and one other former Senior champion (FM Fabio LaRota). All seven won tonight, though my own game was not so easy. The participation of Watson was a pleasant surprise, it was his first event since 2004. Being very rusty, he told me he would be satisfied if he avoids any embarrassing upsets or blunders. Tate is new to the Senior, as are Ivanov and Kudrin. Bradford is a very strong player who has been Senior Champ and a US Championship participant. The winner (if American) gets into the US Championship, with an auction Armageddon 30' game between the top two finishers if they are tied. The top finisher over 60 at the start of this year gets most of his expenses covered for the World Senior in Italy; since none of the above named players besides myself are eligible I'm the favorite to win this again though there may be a couple eligible players close to 2200, I'll have to wait until ages are posted to see. Almost all the favorites won in the first round, just a couple of draws in the middle boards. We should see more closely contested games starting tomorrow. See pairings and other tournament details on http://www.uschess.org/tournaments/2010/senior/ Update: You can also watch a selection of live games live on Monroi! |

Advanced Search
Microsoft responded today to the proposed Yahoo deal with Google with a prepared statement, which was attributed to Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel.
"Any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google's hands," Microsoft's statement read. The statement reiterated Microsoft's position that its acquisition bid is the best deal for Yahoo's shareholders, a position that the Yahoo management and board has thus far rejected.
Yahoo plans to test Google's "AdSense for Search" service over a two-week period. The test will tap just three percent of Yahoo's search queries from yahoo.com in the United States.
Yahoo had been careful to point out in its press release that the test with Google "does not necessarily mean that Yahoo! will join the AdSense for Search program or that any further commercial relationship with Google will result."
At stake, in terms of the online search ad-generated revenues, is an estimated $25.9 billion in 2008, according to marketing analyst firm eMarketer, in a March 19 estimate. The firm expects that online ad revenues will continue to grow to reach $51 billion by 2012.
Microsoft didn't provide a source for its estimate that a Google-Yahoo definitive agreement would lead to 90 percent control of the search ad market. However, Google and Yahoo are No. 1 and No. 2, respectively in terms of online search use, according to Nielsen Online. According to that company's research, Google led in February of this year with 58.7 percent of searches. Yahoo's share in that same month was 17.6 percent, and MSN/Windows Live had an 11.2 percent share.
Microsoft has been engaged since the end of January in an acquisition bid for Yahoo. That bid took a particularly hostile turn this week after Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer threatened to tilt Yahoo's board by packing it with members sympathetic to Microsoft's proposed acquisition bid.

Air table
The DensitySort Air Table uses air, vibration and slope to separate the fines fraction. DensitySort does not require a media base such as sand, water or filtration to achieve a separation. As product is fed at the high point of the table's slope, its own specific mass directs the product to the low or high side of the table, providing an upgraded high-grade aluminum product, as well as a heavy product containing nearly 80% heavy metals by weight. Once a fluidized bed of material is maintained, the heavy products sink to the bottom of the burden and travels up the table to a discharge point.
Panel mount connectors
The 713 and 763 M12 Series connector line has been expanded with panel mount connectors featuring screw terminations. With screw terminations it is now possible to attach wires in the field without any special tooling or soldering. This addition is ideally suited for signal and power applications requiring a solderless assembly. The panel mount connectors are offered with 4, 5 and 8 gold-plated contacts in male and female versions. The unique screw terminations will accept a maximum wire gauge of 16 AWG and transmit currents of up to 8 amps with the 4 and 5 pin versions. In order to determine the direction of the angled cable outlet of the mating connector the 4- and 5-pin panel mount connectors can be positioned in 4-deg by 90-deg steps. When fully mated the connectors are IP67 rated to ensure protection from liquids and debris. Mating field-attachable connectors and standard cordsets are available for a complete connecting system.
pH Meter App

For industrial processes and plants, the PH-1 meter accessory is suitable for service in easy-to-reach locations where pH measurements are routinely performed or can be taken to other distant locations where fixed instruments are unnecessary or too costly. By recording the pH value with a time stamp and location, the PH-1 meter accessory eliminates any chance of mistakes when recording readings. It also works with location-aware devices to log the coordinates where readings were taken for analysis and auditing purposes.
Pivot-mount safety gate
Protect-O-Gate Pivot Gate protects operators from falls on mezzanines due to its two-part o reciprocating design. This unique design eliminates the potential for falls and other accidents associated with mezzanine loading areas. Unsafe conventional devices such as chains, lift-out gates and sliding gates can all be bypassed, exposing workers to potential falls and injuries when left open. The Protect-O-Gate Pivot Gate cannot be bypassed. When the enclosure closest to the edge of the mezzanine is lifted to allow load delivery, the second enclosure is resting on the mezzanine, blocking personnel from potential falls. Counter-balanced and operator-friendly, the unit features easy access to the staging area. Custom sizing can be easily accommodated with optional increased load height available to 80 in.
Flexible silicone cables
These highly flexible Silicone jacketed cables are designed to provide uninterrupted service and absolute reliability for Clean Room Robots. The cables are Class 1 Clean Room Rated for continuous motion applications. Even under extensive tight bending and high speed flexing, the crystal-clear silicone encapsulation will not wear, tear or deform during a lifetime of more than 10 million cycles. This unique silicone is "self-healing" from small punctures and will not degrade or delaminate when exposed to de-ionized water, alcohol, steam, UV light, autoclave, mechanical stress and many chemicals. The proprietary extrusion process allows multiple wires to be placed in a single flat cable, precisely controlling the inner component spacing, jacket thickness and the overall cable shape. Incorporating multiple elements into a single, compact flat cable allows for a tighter bend radius, weight/space savings, greater current carrying capacity, noise reduction, and longer flex life.
Multi-purpose filler
The Multi-Purpose filler dispenses bulk solid materials into boxes, drums and bulk bags, by weight. The unit features a fill head that seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags, or connects to transition adapters that seal against open boxes or drums. The filler utilizes the Twin-Centerpost frame to maximize strength and improve accessibility to the fill head while simplifying construction and reducing cost. It is mounted on load cells tied into a PLC that controls upstream devices to fill containers at high rate, and then at dribble-feed rate to maximize the number of containers filled per hour. An automated vibratory system raises and vibrates the container deck to deaerate and densify material, stabilizing the container.
Inverter drive
The 8400 TopLine inverter drives now include an automatic axis bus system and special function blocks for speed and angle synchronization. The new 8400 TopLine inverter drive automatic axis bus works with the standard CAN system bus and fits seamlessly into servo applications. The 8400 TopLine inverter drive also supports SinCos absolute encoders. Designed for applications using electrical shafts for synchronization, two fundamental topologies can be constructed using the 8400 TopLine automatic axis bus system. In addition to the automatic axis bus, the 8400 Topline inverters incorporate L-Force control and software to deliver high dynamic performance and intelligent features, including memory modules, online diagnostics and optional integrated safety systems.

See if you can follow this. So this lady's cat illegally (and stupidly) goes into the neighbor's yard. Why was it stupid? Because a pit bull resides there. Things got ugly, and the pair ended up under a neighbor's mobile home. Dog owner's sister tries to get cat out and, for her services, cat bites her hand. Dog owner then shoots the cat! Why? To protect herself, her sister, and the dog, from … the cat. According to the cat's owner, the cat was just trying to get away from the dog [which wouldn't have been an issue if it wasn't illegally outside!]
Everyone got charged in this one. Dog owner was charged with animal cruelty (a felony) and discharging a firearm in public (a misdemeanor – sorry PETA, but shouldn't those charges be reversed?). Cat owner was cited for letting her cat loose, and improper vaccination documentation. The Juice suspects we've not heard the last of this. For the full story in The Lakeland Ledger, click here.

The Zero Evidence World of U.S. Criminal Misleaders
Makia Freeman, Contributor
Waking Times
Zero evidence is required for the global bully, the US military, to do what it wants, when it wants, to whomever it wants. US political and military leaders (or as I prefer to call them, political and military misleaders) have one law – we do whatever the f*ck we want – in line with the black magic of Aleister Crowley, who declared that "do what thou wilt" was the whole of his law. The recent Trump Syria strike has taken their aggressive and criminal lawlessness to yet another level. Trump didn't either bother to ask Congress for permission to attack another country, nor to put a case forward at the UN, nor to submit it to the scrutiny of international law, nor apparently to check with anyone except his own cadre of hawkish generals, Zionists and billionaires. Along with zero evidence, the US usually proffers pretexts such as "WMDs", "chemical weapons" or simply just "he's a dictator killing is own people", all of which turn out to be lies to cover up the fact they have zero evidence. This phenomenon has been going on for literally decades. When is the international community going to stand up to the US and demand that enough is enough?
The Zero Evidence Phenomenon in Past US Aggressions
The history of USA aggression against other sovereign nations is egregious and long. Ever since the end of World War II, the US has taken it upon itself to be the world policeman – except it's really the bandit posing as the sheriff, the tyrant posing as the protector and the violent terrorist posing as the righteous commander. Former US government official William Blum (who worked in the Department of State) and Dr. Zoltan Grossman have compiled lists of the 70+ nations which the US has messed with and attacked, by way of at least one of the following: foreign meddling & intervention, subversion, regime change, assassination, military strike or invasion. Here is a partial list of attacked nations up until 1999:
"China 1945-49, Italy 1947-48, Greece 1947-49, Philippines 1945-53, South Korea 1945-53, Albania 1949-53, Germany 1950s, Iran 1953, Guatemala 1953-1990s, Middle East 1956-58, Indonesia 1957-58, British Guiana/Guyana 1953-64, Vietnam 1950-73, Cambodia 1955-73, The Congo/Zaire 1960-65, Brazil 1961-64, Dominican Republic 1963-66, Cuba 1959-present, Indonesia 1965, Chile 1964-7, Greece 1964-74, East Timor, 1975-present, Nicaragua 1978-89, Grenada 1979-84, Libya 1981-89, Panama 1989, Iraq 1990s, Afghanistan 1979-92, El Salvador 1980-92, Haiti 1987-94, Yugoslavia 1999"
Since 2000, the following countries have been a victim of US aggression in one form or another:
"Afghanistan 2001-present, Yemen 2002, Philippines 2002-?, Colombia 2003-?, Iraq 2003-present, Liberia 2003, Haiti 2004-5, Pakistan 2005-?, Somalia 2006-?, Syria 2008-present, Yemen 2009, Libya 2011-present"
These lists are incomplete. There are more nations that have suffered US aggression which are not on these lists. Every single nation in the world has to either kowtow to the US, befriend it and fight alongside it in its stupid, ugly and violent wars, and submit to allowing US military bases on its sovereign soil – or else be aligned against it, be branded a "rogue state" by the MSM and live in constant fear that the US and its cronies will one day invade (a realistic and even probable outcome). There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.
How exactly is this not world conquest? How exactly is the US not a sprawling empire which does whatever it wants, puts its military bases wherever it wants and invades whomever it wants? It's an Empire, not a Republic. The republic has been dead for a long time now. The US is run by the New World Order – and they want it all. All.
Some Particularly Egregious Examples of Zero Evidence
Some appalling and atrocious examples of this "we do whatever we want" US foreign policy include the Vietnam War, which was started by the zero evidence Gulf of Tonkin incident (a false flag op of course), where there was literally zero evidence because there were literally zero Vietnamese ships involved. The US ships shot at empty space on the ocean and claimed they were being attacked! Then, in the false flag event of the millennium (9/11) there was zero evidence that Bin Laden ever did it, as the FBI tacitly admitted by not charging him with any crime. In the aftermath of 9/11, we were blessed with the wonderful and fake War on Terror™ (dreamt up by Zionist and neocon think tanks, including mass murderer and Israeli misleader Benjamin Netanyahu).
With the masses bamboozled by the neverending and impossible-to-win War on Terror, US misleader Colin Powell stepped up to the UN with zero evidence (in the form of a vial of powder) in support of invading a sovereign nation (Iraq). This time around the lie was WMDs. Later on in 2011, US misleader Obama stepped up to claim that a "dictator" (i.e. a legitimate leader named Gaddafi) was "killing his own people" (despite the fact that Libyans had a higher standard of living than all its surrounding neighbor nations in Africa). Thanks to the US and NATO invasion, Libya has become a hotbed of mayhem, terrorism, civil war and even now a center of slave trading. The truth is that it was only invaded because its leader stood up to US hegemony and tried to go against the petrodollar, but you wouldn't know it if you listened to the MSM and the NGOs of George Soros (like Avaaz) who screamed for humanitarian intervention (aggressive invasion with no lawful basis under the pretext of saving innocent lives). Then in 2013, US misleader Obama again stepped up to claim that another "dictator" (i.e. an elected leader named Assad) was killing his own people with "chemical weapons" (despite the fact that UN investigators found zero evidence to back up this claim and instead found evidence that it was the US-backed rebels using them).
"Proof At a Distance"
Fast forward to 2017, and we have a different puppet in the White House, but the zero evidence phenomenon, and US military psychopathy, remain the same. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who like Vladimir Putin, has shown himself to be very level headed in face of extreme and repeated US-UK-Israeli-NATO provocation, talked about the zero evidence phenomenon at a recent press conference where he was discussing the Syria matter with his US counterpart Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State. Lavrov said:
" … accusations that are being made in respect to the Syrian government, come exclusively from those who have 'proof at a distance' … Another example, another dictator: Saddam Hussein, who was hanged after an invasion. We all know how it ended. I think Tony Blair said publicly that the while thing was a fake. All the reasons behind the invasions of Iraq … So experiments of these sorts, based on an obsession wth some kind of dictator, regime change of a totalitarian or authoritarian leader – we have already seen. We know all too well how it ends. Positive examples, when a dictator was removed and then everything went great – I don't recall. If they exist, I would be grateful if you would let me know."
One has to wonder how much longer the blatant warmongering and aggression can go on before enough people wake up to it. How much longer will the US military (tool of the international banksters and the New World Order) be able to literally get away with murder by offering zero evidence and flimsy pretexts? Will enough nations in the international community, as well as enough Americans themselves, stand up to the bullying American political and military leadership and force these tyrants to look in the mirror, so they can see themselves for the lying psychopaths that they are?

Only Jim Tucker could pull back the veil of secrecy from the Bilderberg Group and only AFP has the courage to publish this volume.
Now, in the pages of Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary, Jim Tucker lays out, for the first time, his entire remarkable history of covering Bilderberg (and its Trilateral and CFR allies), literally infiltrating Bilderberg meetings, procuring their private documents, and working relentlessly to shine the spotlight of public scrutiny on Bilderberg's affairs. Tucker's prose, first-hand, folksy and colorful, will introduce you to the little-known arena of the Bilderberg elite.
This volume is a memorable and panoramic journey that will lay bare the realities behind modern-day international power politics in a way that you've never seen before. And the book includes several representative lists of Bilderberg membership over the past several years, more than 80 fascinating on-the-spot photographs of the Bilderbergers in action and photo reproductions of actual Bilderberg documents secured by Tucker. Plus a fascinating Afterword by Willis A. Carto, the man who first suggested Tucker cover Bilderberg forThe Spotlight newspaper, realizing what was happening behind closed doors at Bilderberg meetings was far more important, and sinister, than Bilderberg press releases were admitting.
If you've ever heard the mass media claim that concerns about Bilderberg are "just some crazy conspiracy theory," you'll definitely think otherwise as you travel with Jim Tucker into the world of Bilderberg.

Brrr! That's how the weather is around here. C-O-L-D. Soft, warm clothes are a must to get through these chilly days. When my now 8yr old was a tiny baby (and I couldn't even sew a straight line) I'd gotten him some lovely sherpa lined jeans from Baby Gap. They were so soft & cuddly inside, it was like he was wearing a warm hug even when he wasn't in my arms. They seemed like a steal at the time at $25. And he outgrew them after 3 months & I never saw anything like them again:(
So I was beyond excited when I found this fabric - it's microsuede on one side, fuzzy sherpa on the other. So the one side is velvety soft and other is incredibly marshmallowy soft. Like wearing a fluffy cloud - could there be anything better? I doubt it. Super durable too. And the best part? I got it on sale, so a half yard needed to make these for my little girl was just $7. Wayyyyy better than $25 and there was enough left over that I can make some cute little matchy shoes or slippers. When I get a hot second to work on them that is. And I've been a bit short on hot seconds (or even room temperature ones) lately.
I used a basic pant pattern and added a little color by stitching some ribbon down the sides of each leg. By adding a bit of extra length and turning the hems outward instead of under, I also added a little cuff so the sherpa gets a peek out of the legs and can be rolled down as she grows so they get a nice long life.
After I made these I knew I needed to get more of this stuff and come up with something for yours truly. It's just the perfect fabric for feeling warm & fuzzy all day long.
Any ideas for making myself something chic & warm out of this heavenly fabric? Go ahead and share 'em in the comments!

Philbrook v. Glodgett, 421 U.S. 707 (1975)
Philbrook v. Glodgett
No. 73-1820
Argued March 24-25, 1975
Decided June 9, 1975
Under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program of the Social Security Act (Act), the term "dependent child" was expanded to include children whose deprivation was caused by a parent's unemployment. Section 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, as amended in 1968, makes this expanded definition applicable only if a state plan under the AFDC program denies aid to a dependent child so defined "with respect to any week for which such child's father receives unemployment compensation." Vermont, to qualify for federal funding under this unemployed father program, promulgated a regulation under its participating Aid to Needy Families with Children (ANFC) program, defining an "unemployed father" as one who is, inter alia, out of work, provided "[h]e is not receiving Unemployment Compensation during the same week as assistance is granted." Appellees, who are parents and children of Vermont families whose ANFC assistance was terminated or denied because the fathers were receiving unemployment compensation, filed suit against appellant Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Social Welfare and appellant Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to enjoin enforcement of the federal statute and state regulation. Holding that it had jurisdiction over the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3), and construing § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) as making actual payment of, rather than mere eligibility for, unemployment compensation the disqualifying factor for AFDC benefits, a three-judge District Court held that the Vermont regulation could not be applied so as to conflict with this construction of the federal statute, and entered an injunction to this effect.
1. The Vermont regulation, as applied to exclude unemployed fathers who are merely eligible for unemployment compensation chanrobles.com-red
from receiving ANFC benefits, impermissibly conflicts with § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii), as correctly interpreted by the District Court. As evidenced by that provision's legislative history, Congress did not intend the provision's coverage to be at the State's discretion once it elected to participate. Pp. 421 U. S. 713-719.
2. This Court will not inquire into the question whether the District Court had jurisdiction over appellant Secretary, but will make an exception to the general rule that this Court has a duty to so inquire where the question has been inadequately briefed, the substantive issue has been decided in the State's case, and the Secretary has stated he will comply with the District Court decision on the statutory issue if it is affirmed. The exercise of the District Court's jurisdiction over the Secretary has resulted in no adjudication on the merits that could not have been just as properly made without the Secretary, and in no issuance of process against the Secretary that he has properly contended to be wrongful before this Court. Pp. 421 U. S. 720-722.
368 F.Supp. 211, No. 73-1820, affirmed; No. 7132, dismissed.
REHNQUIST, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST delivered the opinion of the Court.
In these consolidated appeals, we are called upon to construe a provision of the Social Security Act of 1935 (Act), as amended, and to ascertain whether a Vermont welfare chanrobles.com-red
regulation impermissibly conflicts with that provision. A three-judge District Court held that it did, 368 F.Supp. 211 (Vt.1973), and we noted probable jurisdiction in the appeal of appellant Philbrook, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Social Welfare, in No. 73-1820, and postponed consideration of the question of jurisdiction in the appeal of appellant Weinberger, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, in No. 74-132. 419 U.S. 963 (1974). Philbrook's appeal presents only the question of whether the Vermont welfare regulation in question conflicts with § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 607(b)(2)(C)(ii), while the Secretary's appeal presents the additional issue of whether the District Court correctly concluded that it had jurisdiction over the Secretary under the doctrine of pendent jurisdiction.
In Title IV of the Act, 49 Stat. 627, Congress enacted the Aid to Dependent Children program, [Footnote 1] through which federal funds would be granted to qualifying States in order to provide aid to dependent children. The term "dependent child" was originally defined to include only children whose deprivation was caused by "the death, continued absence from the home, or physical or mental incapacity of a parent," [Footnote 2] but, in 1961, Congress expanded the definition of dependent chanrobles.com-red
child to include children whose deprivation was caused by the unemployment of a parent. [Footnote 3] This program was enacted on an experimental basis, [Footnote 4] and gave States the authority to define "unemployment" and to deny AFDC benefits in whole or in part if the unemployed parent received unemployment compensation during the relevant period. In 1968, Congress elected to make the unemployed parent program permanent, [Footnote 5] but, in response to problems that had arisen during the trial period, Congress retracted some of the authority that had formerly been delegated to the States. [Footnote 6] Under these and other chanrobles.com-red
changes that also became effective in 1968, [Footnote 7] the expanded definition of "dependent child," § 407(a) of the Act, applies only if participating States deny aid
"to families with dependent children to any child or relative specified in subsection (a) of this section --"
"* * * *"
"(ii) with respect to any week for which such child's father receives unemployment compensation under an unemployment compensation law of a State or of the United States."
§ 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 607(b)(2)(C)(ii).
To qualify for funding under this unemployed father program, Vermont promulgated Welfare Regulation 2333.1, which provides in relevant part:
"An 'unemployed father' is one whose minor children are in need because he is out of work, is working
part-time, or is not at work due to an industrial dispute (strike), for at least 30 days prior to receiving assistance, provided that:"
"* * * *"
"(3) He is not receiving Unemployment Compensation during the same week as assistance is granted."
Appellees are the parents and minor children of Vermont families whose ANFC assistance was terminated or whose applications for assistance were rejected because the fathers were receiving unemployment compensation; in each instance, the amount of money received by the family in unemployment compensation was less than would have been received under the ANFC program. Appellees filed suit against Commissioner Philbrook and Secretary Weinberger to enjoin the enforcement of the federal statute and state regulation. The three-judge court, finding that it had jurisdiction over the parties by virtue of 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3), concluded
"from the language of the statute that the disqualifying factor is actual payment, rather than mere eligibility for unemployment compensation."
368 F.Supp. at 217. Under this construction of § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 607(b)(2)(C)(ii), a father who otherwise qualified had an option to receive either an unemployment compensation check or ANFC assistance, whichever was greater, and the Vermont regulation could not be applied so as to conflict with this construction of the federal statute. An injunction to this effect was entered, and both the state and federal parties have appealed. [Footnote 8] chanrobles.com-red
The appellants do not contest, as indeed they could not, that § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) speaks in terms of a "father [who] receives unemployment compensation", rather than a "father [who] is eligible to receive unemployment compensation." They do contend, however, that the District Court's construction of that section is wholly at odds with the premise underlying the AFDC program and with the approach to non-AFDC resources dictated by § 402(a)(7) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 602(a)(7).
"In expounding a statute, we must not be guided by a single sentence or member of a sentence, but look to the provisions of the whole law, and to its object and policy."
49 U. S. 122 (1849); Richards v. United States, 369 U. S. 1, 369 U. S. 11 (1962); Chemehuevi Tribe of Indians v. FPC,@ 420 U. S. 395, 420 U. S. 402-403 (1975). Our objective in a case such as this is to ascertain the congressional intent and give effect to the legislative will. The language of § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) certainly leans toward the construction adopted by the chanrobles.com-red
District Court, but
"[i]t is a familiar rule that a thing may be within the letter of the statute and yet not within the statute, because not within its spirit nor within the intention of its makers."
Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 143 U. S. 457, 143 U. S. 459 (1892).
In order to qualify for federal assistance under the AFDC program, a state plan must
"provide that the State agency shall, in determining need, take into consideration any other income and resources of any child or relative claiming aid to families with dependent children."
§ 402(a)(7) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 602(a)(7). Further force to this statutory command has been applied by regulations requiring state agencies to "carry out policies with reference to applicants' and recipients' potential sources of income that can be developed to a state of availability." 45 CFR § 233.20(a)(3)(ix) (1974). It flies in the face of this statutory scheme, argue appellants, to construe a provision of the same Title so as to permit a person to decline resources, for which he is eligible, in order to qualify for AFDC assistance. See Shea v. Vialpando, 416 U. S. 251 (1974). This anomaly is compounded by the violence done to the intended operation of unemployment compensation programs by the District Court's construction. Unemployment compensation programs, financed by employer contributions, are intended to operate without regard to need and be available to a recipient as a matter of right. See California Dept. of Human Resources Development v. Java, 402 U. S. 121 (1971). The appellants contend that AFDC should not be available when unemployment compensation, "the first line of defense," can be obtained. [Footnote 9] chanrobles.com-red
An argument based on inter-sectional harmony might have considerable force in other circumstances, but we find it unpersuasive as applied to appellants' case. Under § 402(a)(7), an applicant's other income and resources are taken into account in determining the applicant's need. If the amount
"is less than the predetermined state-wide standard of need, the applicant is eligible for participation in the program and the amount of the assistance payments will be based upon that difference."
Shea v. Vialpando, supra, at 216 U. S. 254. If § 407(b)(2) had been intended to fit smoothly into the AFDC program, then assistance payments should be reduced by the amount of unemployment compensation received by a father; this much the federal appellant concedes. [Footnote 10] But Congress has expressly provided otherwise: receipt of unemployment compensation results in termination of AFDC benefits. The appellants are simply incorrect when they characterize their construction of § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) as consistent with the overall pattern of the AFDC program, while assailing the District Court's interpretation as fundamentally disruptive; the fact of the matter is that neither construction is harmonious with the program's general approach to income and resources.
Appellants contend that the legislative history of the Social Security Amendments of 1968 supports their position that "an unemployed father would be required to exhaust the unemployment compensation resource" before becoming entitled to receive AFDC assistance. [Footnote 11] chanrobles.com-red
They rely upon a statement in the Conference Report as proof that, when Congress used the term "receives" in § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii), it intended to include within that term persons who were eligible to receive unemployment compensation:
"Section 407 of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 203(a) of the House bill, defined an unemployed father (for purposes of determining the eligibility of his children for AFDC) so as to exclude fathers who do not have 6 or more quarters of work in any 13-calendar-quarter period ending within one year prior to the application for aid, and fathers who receive (or are qualified to receive) any unemployment compensation under State law."
"The Senate amendments removed these exclusions, and restored the provision of present law under which a State may at its option wholly or partly deny AFDC for any month where the father receives unemployment compensation during the month. . . ."
"The Senate recedes. . . ."
H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 1030, 90th Cong., 1st Sess., 57 (1967) (emphasis added).
We have carefully reviewed the context of that statement in view of the positions of the House and Senate on § 407, and we agree with appellees that the above-quoted chanrobles.com-red
language is ambiguous, at best. It seems more likely that the Conference Committee was referring to § 407(b)(1)(C) of the Act [Footnote 12] than to § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii). Although both Houses of Congress agreed in 1968 that a federal definition of unemployment was necessary, they disagreed about the considerations that should be embodied in that definition. The House sought to limit participation under the unemployed father provision to fathers who had "a substantial connection with the workforce." H.R.Rep. No. 544, 90th Cong., 1st Sess., 17 (1967).
"[I]t is the intent of your committee to exclude from the program those fathers who have not been in the labor force, or whose attachment to the labor force has been casual."
Id. at 108. chanrobles.com-red
Although the Senate and the Administration did not favor requiring a substantial connection with the workforce as a condition for inclusion under the unemployed father program, [Footnote 13] the House version prevailed at Conference. In implementing the House standard, Congress demonstrated an awareness of the difference between receipt of unemployment benefits and eligibility for such benefits. In defining the requisite prior attachment to the employment market, Congress included fathers who had
"6 or more quarters of work . . . in any 13-calendar-quarter period ending within one year prior to the application for such aid or (ii). . . received unemployment compensation under an unemployment compensation law of a State or of the United States, or he was qualified (within the meaning of subsection (d)(3) of this section) for unemployment compensation . . . within one year prior to the application for such aid."
§ 407(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 42 U.S.C.§ 607(b)(1)(C). [Footnote 14] That Congress was not quite as discriminating in § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) conveys a good deal about its intent. It chanrobles.com-red
seems to us that the section from the Conference Report relied upon by appellants probably was directed to § 407(b)(1)(C)(ii), rather than to the section at issue in these appeals. The District Court correctly concluded
"that a family eligible for ANFC benefits under [42 U.S.C. §] 607 can be excluded only for each week in which unemployment compensation is actually received by the father."
368 F.Supp. at 217. If, as appellants contend, § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii) is inconsistent with the general scheme of the AFDC program or works to shift costs from the private to the public sector in contravention of prudent resource management, it is the legislative branch to which appeals for modification must be directed. With the federal standard of eligibility thus understood, it is apparent that the Vermont definition of "unemployed father," which has been applied to exclude unemployed fathers who are eligible for unemployment compensation, conflicts with § 407(b)(2)(C)(ii). Vermont "may not deny aid to persons who come within it in the absence of a clear indication that Congress meant the coverage to be optional." Burns v. Alcala, 420 U. S. 575, 420 U. S. 580 (1975); King v. Smith, 392 U. S. 309 (1968); Townsend v. Swank, 404 U. S. 282 (1971); Carleson v. Remillard, 406 U. S. 598 (1972). See also New York Dept. of Social Services v. Dublino, 413 U. S. 405, 413 U. S. 421-422 (1973). An important purpose of the 1968 amendments was to eliminate the variations in state definitions of unemployment, see n 6, supra, and the Congress twice turned back attempts by the Senate to restore to States discretion in the coverage of the program. In these circumstances, we find that Congress did not intend the coverage of § 407 to be optional once a State elected to participate. That portion of the judgment appealed from in No. 73-1820 is affirmed. chanrobles.com-red
The District Court held that 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3) afforded jurisdiction over the Secretary under principles of pendent jurisdiction. We have previously characterized this question as "subtle and complex . . . with far-reaching implications." Moor v. County of Alameda, 411 U. S. 693, 411 U. S. 715 (1973). See also Christian v. New York Dept. of Labor, 414 U. S. 614, 414 U. S. 617 n. 3 (1974). This issue is the first of the "Questions Presented" in the Secretary's brief on the merits, but, while the section of that brief devoted to argument does characterize the issue as "difficult and complex," it concludes that we need not decide the question. The Secretary reasons that, if we rule in his favor on the merits of the statutory question, which he presents as the second question presented by this appeal and which is identical to the question presented by appellant Philbrook, the case should be remanded so that the District Court may decide appellees' constitutional challenges to the statute as herein construed; in that event, the Secretary advises that "the government intends to end the jurisdictional controversy by filing a motion to intervene." Brief for Appellant Weinberger 13. On the other hand, the Secretary tells us that, if we agree with the District Court and disagree with him on the merits of the statutory question, as to which jurisdiction over the state defendant was properly invoked,
"the jurisdictional question with respect to the Secretary would become inconsequential, since the Secretary, as well as the State, would, of course, administer the statute in accordance with this Court's interpretation."
We do not believe that the Secretary's treatment of his role in this appeal, which seems cast more in terms of an amicus curiae than as a party challenging jurisdiction, provides an acceptable resolution of this question. chanrobles.com-red
The Secretary's representation that he intends to abide by this Court's construction of the statute on the State's appeal does not, in any strict sense of the word, render moot the dispute between him and appellees. We are left therefore with a "subtle and complex question with far-reaching implications" going to the jurisdiction of the District Court over the Secretary, which was resolved by the District Court in favor of jurisdiction, but that has been inadequately briefed by the Secretary. This Court's Rule 40(g).
Failure to comply with applicable Rules of this Court may result in the dismissal of an appeal of the defaulting party. Sweezy v. New Hampshire, 354 U. S. 234, 354 U. S. 236 (1957); Slagle v. Ohio, 366 U. S. 259, 366 U. S. 264 (1961); Raley v. Ohio, 360 U. S. 423, 360 U. S. 435 (1959). Our only hesitancy in applying this principle to the Secretary's appeal arises because the issue goes to the jurisdiction of the District Court over the federal party, and we have repeatedly held that we must take note of want of jurisdiction in the district court even though neither party has raised the point. 48 U. S. 731 (1849); Mitchell v. Maurer, 293 U. S. 237, 293 U. S. 244 (1934); Clark v. Paul Gray, Inc.,@ 306 U. S. 583, 306 U. S. 588 (1939).
Application of the general rule that this Court has a duty to inquire into the jurisdiction of the district court would require that we address a complex question of federal jurisdiction notwithstanding the absence of substantial aid from the briefs of either of the parties. We believe, however, that the unusual context in which this appeal comes to us permits an exception to this general rule. Here, the substantive issue decided by the District Court would have been decided by that court even if it had concluded that the Secretary was not properly a party to the suit, since appellant Philbrook was clearly a proper party under 28 U.S.C. § 1343 and the statutory chanrobles.com-red
issues raised by appellees' claim against Philbrook were indistinguishable from those raised by their claim against the Secretary. Thus, the only practical difference that resulted from the District Court's assumption of jurisdiction over the Secretary was that its injunction was directed against him, as well as against appellant Philbrook. But the Secretary has announced, in his brief to this Court, that, in the event the decision of the District Court on the statutory issue is affirmed, he intends to comply with it. The exercise of the District Court's jurisdiction over the Secretary in this case, therefore, has resulted in no adjudication on the merits that could not have been just as properly made without the Secretary, and has resulted in no issuance of process against the Secretary which he has properly contended to be wrongful before this Court.
The Secretary's appeal from the judgment in No. 74-132 is, therefore, dismissed.
It is so ordered.
* Together with No. 74-132, Weinberger, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare v. Glodett et al., also on appeal from the same court.
The name of the program was changed in 1962 to "Aid and Services to Needy Families with Children," and the name of the assistance provided thereunder became "Aid to Families with Dependent Children" (AFDC). Pub.L. 87-543, 76 Stat. 185. Vermont has elected to call its participating program Aid to Needy Families with Children (ANFC).
§ 406(a) of the Act, 49 Stat. 629. See generally Burn v. Alcala, 420 U. S. 575 (1975).
75 Stat. 75. See 1961 Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States (John F. Kennedy) 46-47; H.R.Rep. No. 28, 87th Gong., 1st Sess. (1961); S.Rep. No. 165 87th Cong., 1st Sess. (1961); H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 307, 87th Cong., 1st Sess. (1961).
The 1961 legislation was scheduled to expire on June 30, 1962, but it was extended for a five-year period in 1962, 76 Stat. 193, and for one more year in 1967, 81 Stat. 94.
81 Stat. 882: H.R.Rep. No. 544, 90th Cong., 1st Sess., 17, 107-109, 175-176 (1967); S.Rep. No. 744, 90th Cong., 1st Sess. (1967); H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 1030, 90th Cong., 1st Sess. (1967).
Under the 1961 legislation, the States had adopted such varying definitions of "unemployment" that uniform administration of the program became impossible; in some instances the States had adopted such a broad definition as to have "gone beyond anything that the Congress originally envisioned." H.R.Rep. No. 544, supra at 108. See Statement of Wilbur J. Cohen, Undersecretary of the Department of Health, Eduction, and Welfare, Hearings on H.R. 12080, before the Senate Committee on Finance, 90th Cong., 1st Sess., 268-269 (1967). Congress responded by enacting a federal definition of "unemployment" which required States to include fathers who had "a substantial connection with the workforce," H.R.Rep. No. 544, supra, at 17, and exclude families if the unemployed father "receives unemployment compensation under an unemployment compensation law of a State or of the United States." 81 Stat. 883. The Senate had preferred to retain the option giving the States the discretion to deny AFDC benefits to families receiving unemployment compensation, S.Rep. No. 744, supra, at 28, but receded at conference, H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 1030, supra, at 57.
Congress also expressed its displeasure with the state practice which had made "families in which the father is working but the mother is unemployed eligible," H.R.Rep. No. 544, supra, at 108, and restricted the program to children of unemployed fathers.
In the next session, the Senate tried again to modify the mandatory exclusion of § 407(b). See n 6, supra. Under the major modifications made at the beginning of 1968, a family that received unemployment compensation for any part of a month was automatically disqualified from AFDC assistance for the entire month. The Senate sought to restore to the States the option to permit or deny AFDC assistance to families in this situation, S.Rep. No. 1014, 90th Cong., 2d Sess., 9 (1968). A compromise was reached in Conference by which the mandatory exclusion was retained in concept but relaxed in application: a father receiving unemployment compensation during any month would be denied AFDC assistance, but only with respect to the weeks for which unemployment compensation was received. 82 Stat. 273. See H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 1533, 90th Cong., 2d Sess., 49 (1968).
At oral argument, a question arose regarding the jurisdiction of this Court over the appeals, 28 U.S.C. § 1253, and the parties have filed supplemental briefs on this point. On authority of Gonzalez v. Automatic Employees Credit Union, 419 U. S. 90 (1974), and MTM, Inc. v. Baxley, 420 U. S. 799 (1975), appellant Weinberger contends that any appeal from the District Court's judgment should have been taken to the Court of Appeals; appellant Philbrook and appellees contend that the appeals are properly before this Court.
In Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U. S. 528 (1974), this Court indicated that it was the preferred practice for a single judge, when presented with both statutory and constitutional grounds for decision, to resolve the statutory claim before convening a three-judge court. The District Court in this case was unable to proceed in that manner because appellees raised only constitutional contentions in their complaint, App. 10, and raised their statutory contention, for the first time, at oral argument before the three-judge court. Tr. of Oral Arg. before the United States District Court for the District of Vermont 42-44 (Mar. 5, 1973). Appellant Weinberger urges us to reconsider our decision in Engineers v. Chicago, R.I. & P. R. Co., 382 U. S. 423 (1966), in which we held that, if a three-judge court is convened and decides a case on statutory grounds, the judgment may be appealed to this Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1253, but we decline to do so.
Appellant Philbrook also argues that the District Court's construction operates
"to shift drastically the burden of supporting families of unemployed fathers from the unemployment compensation program to the AFDC program."
Brief for Appellant Philbrook 27. Such a shift from private sector to public sector financing distorts the intended relationship between the unemployment compensation and AFDC programs, and gives private employers a windfall gain, since their financial obligation under the unemployment compensation program is a function of amounts paid out in claims. Ibid.
Brief for Appellant Weinberger 19 n. 6.
Id. at 21. Appellant Secretary concedes that Congress did not intend AFDC assistance to be terminated immediately upon a father's eligibility for unemployment compensation. Congress recognized that there was a delay between application for unemployment compensation and receipt of the first check. During this period, even under the Secretary's construction, AFDC assistance is available. The Secretary's position is that a person who is eligible for unemployment compensation must take the steps necessary to receive such payments and, upon receipt, AFDC terminates. A father may not, in the Secretary's opinion, decline unemployment compensation or refuse to apply for such compensation when he is eligible. Id. at 16-17, n. 4.
Section 407(b)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 607(b)(1), provides:
"(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall be applicable to a State if the State's plan approved under section 602 of this title"
"(1) requires the payment of aid to families with dependent children with respect to a dependent child as defined in subsection (a) in this section when -- "
"(A) such child's father has not been employed (as determined in accordance with standards prescribed by the Secretary) for at least 30 days prior to the receipt of such aid,"
"(B) such father has not without good cause, within such period (of not less than 30 days) as may be prescribed by the Secretary, refused a bona fide offer of employment or training for employment, and"
"(C)(i) such father has 6 or more quarters of work (as defined in subsection (d)(1) of this section) in any 13-calendar-quarter period ending within one year prior to the application for such aid or (ii) he received unemployment compensation under an unemployment compensation law of a State or of the United States, or he was qualified (within the meaning of subsection (d)(3) of this section) for unemployment compensation under the unemployment compensation law of the State, within one year prior to the application for such aid."

Section 407(d)(3) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 607(d)(3), provides:
"(d) For purposes of this section --"

"(3) an individual shall be deemed qualified for unemployment compensation under the State's unemployment compensation law if --"
"(A) he would have been eligible to receive such unemployment compensation upon filing application, or"

Second in a series of four talks on "The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines" translated by Edward Conze.
Prajna Paramita in 8,000 Lines (Part 2 of 4)
By Zoketsu Norman Fischer | September 12, 2007
Abridged and edited by Ryusen Barbara Byrum
I want to start with one passage that we read last week. I want to repeat it, because I think it is such a great and important passage. It appears on page 94, the last paragraph. Subhuti is the mouthpiece for the sutra.
Subhuti: The perfection of wisdom, beneficial to all the three vehicles, is also the perfection which [allows them not to] lean on any dharma, because it shows that all dharmas have no support and can therefore give none. [Here dharmas mean everything.]
The virtue of the perfection of wisdom is that it allows all practitioners not to lean on anything, or to depend on anything, because there is nothing to depend on. "Lean on" you could read as "attached to; get entangled in." You don't have to get entangled in anything, because when you appreciate the teachings of the sutra, you realize that there was never anything to get entangled in. So to be unsupported in terms of this sutra is the ultimate security.
Subhuti: For if a Bodhisattva, when this deep perfection of wisdom is being taught, remains unafraid, then one should know that she has adjusted herself to the perfection of wisdom, and that she is not lacking in this attention [to the true facts about dharmas.]
So, these are two things that we stressed last week, and that were mentioned so often in the beginning of the sutra. One is to realize the unsupported nature of all dharmas, the empty nature of all dharmas, the insubstantial nature of all dharmas. The other is to not be afraid or freaked-out, or not to fall into despair and lacking motivation. To realize the empty nature of all dharmas, and not to be afraid, is to course in the perfection of wisdom. Then a particular kind of attention – of mindfulness – arises.
Then Sariputra, who is the spokesperson for those who do not understand the perfection of wisdom and have a great resistance to it, appears. He questions Subhuti, saying:
Sariputra: How is it that a Bodhisattva does not lack in attention when he is adjusted to perfect wisdom? [In other words, he is saying, "No, I think a Bodhisattva would lack in attention when he is adjusted to perfect wisdom."] For if a Bodhisattva is not lacking in attention, then he should automatically lack in adjustment to the perfection of wisdom.
In other words, there are two choices. Either you see that everything is unsupported and empty, or you have attention. Because if you saw that everything was unsupported and lacked any substance, you couldn't have any attention. You could only have attention if you thought there was something there to be attentive to. You might think, "I have been practicing attentiveness and mindfulness, because I think that there is something to be mindful of. You're saying there is nothing to be mindful of, so it is either one or the other. Either you are going to be mindful of something, or you are not mindful, in which case you are in accord with the teachings of the perfection of wisdom."
Sariputra: And if he does not lack in adjustment to the perfection of wisdom, then he would be lacking in attention. [So if he is in accord with the perfection of wisdom, then there is no attention.] But if in a Bodhisattva the two facts that he is not lacking in attention, and that he is not lacking in dwelling in the perfection of wisdom, belong together, then all beings also will not be lacking in dwelling in the perfection of wisdom. Because they also dwell in not lacking in attention.
It's a little convoluted, but basically Sariputra is saying that either you have attention to something, or you see that there is nothing, and there is no attention. If you have attention to nothing, and also understand that everything is nothing, then what are we talking about? There's nobody out here for attention. Everybody is all the same. Everybody is mindful or not mindful. So what's the difference? Practice does not seem to exist. This is not an incorrect statement. What he is trying to say is that this doesn't make any sense.
I am not going to check to see if you are following me, I'm just going on! [Laughter]
Subhuti: Well said, and yet I must reprove you, although the Venerable Sariputra has taken hold of the matter correctly as far as the words are concerned. Because one should know that attention [mindfulness, awareness] has no real existence in the same way in which beings have no real existence. [So attention is empty; attention itself is empty; mindfulness itself is empty, just the same way that all other things are empty.] That attention is isolated in the same way in which beings are isolated. [Last time we spoke about this word "isolated," which means, "supreme, sovereign, without peer," not "desperately lonely."] That attention is unthinkable in the same way that beings are unthinkable; that acts of mental attention do not undergo the process that leads to enlightenment in the same way that beings do not undergo that process; that acts of attention do not in any real sense undergo the process which leads to enlightenment, any more than beings do. It is through an attention of such a character that I wish that a Bodhisattva, a great being, may dwell in this dwelling.
This is a description of Zen mindfulness, in which we are not so interested in something to be mindful of – we are not investigating or figuring something out – we are applying an attention, which has no particular object that is actually existing. I was thinking the other day that one of my teachers had a great way of putting this. It was a brilliant way of putting it. He said, "Awareness, mindfulness, means to drop the significance of everything." Meaning, drop the conceptual set-up that we are holding about ourselves, about anything that we are dealing with, and just be present without any objects.
It is a different kind of presence. It's not that I am being mindful of my thoughts, so that I can see the kind of thoughts I'm having (good thoughts or bad thoughts), or mindful of my posture, so that I can have the right posture. But just being present, dropping the significance of everything, so that everything falls away and there is just the being present. It's a little different way of being mindful. In a way, it looks the same from the outside, but there is a certain level of depth here, of the recognition that you are not working toward something. You are just being absolutely and totally present.
It was in that spirit that I suggested that, in order to prevent us from becoming too heady, those of us who are willing to – and I myself was willing to do this – we would all practice being attentive in this way while we are washing the dishes. I suggested that we pay attention specifically when washing the dishes:, completely being present, with nothing there on each moment of washing the dishes. But then I thought, "Suppose some of these people have dishwashers?" I didn't think of that. I don't have a dishwasher. So let me be clear about this. I am about talking not about putting dishes in the dishwasher – you can still do this sometimes – but washing the dishes and seeing everything, the whole cosmos, on each moment.
I was practicing that this week, and I found it really satisfying and interesting and profound. I noticed a few things. I noticed that in a very subtle way, while I was standing there washing the dishes, my body was ever so slightly leaning in another direction. I was there washing the dishes, but really I was, "Let's get this over with, because I have something more important to do." Even though it was very subtle – and if you looked at me, you would not have said that – but from the inside, I could feel that very slightly I was turning away in another direction. This clearly meant to me that I had forgotten the empty nature of the dishes, and of myself, and of the next task that I supposedly was going to do. I was thinking that there was actually something important to be done, and the dishes were something that had to be done and gotten through with, so that I could go on to the next thing. So the rest of the week, whenever I noticed myself doing that, I would be there, firmly facing the dishes. It made a big difference, and there was a lot more release in my washing of the dishes. When I did that, I began to notice that washing the dishes has a lot to do with hearing the sound of the water and the movement of the dishes; and once I started hearing that, it made a whole different experience. There was a lot of peace in that practice. I could feel more emptiness. I could feel more a sense that the dishes were far from being something to get through quickly. They were saving me. The empty nature of the dishes was compassionately taking me in hand and giving me something really precious. Releasing me from my quite unconscious fantasies.
So that is my little report on Zen dishwashing, and I recommend that we all try this. I bring it up again, because it is what the sutra is talking about. With all these words and concepts that may seem hard to grasp, it really isn't about the words and concepts. It is about the reality of our experience in being with our lives in a particular way.
So on to page 100 in chapter two. This is section six, "The Infinitude of Perfect Wisdom." Sakra is the chief of the gods. The gods all come together to the Buddha and appreciate the teaching.
Sakra: This perfection of wisdom, Subhuti, is a great perfection, unlimited, measureless, infinite.
Subhuti: So it is. And why? Perfect wisdom is great, unlimited, measureless, and infinite because form, feelings, perceptions, consciousness are also unlimited. [So the dishes are infinite; this is the point. The dishes are measureless, infinite. I was not noticing that. If you are washing infinite dishes, it's a fantastic thing! It's not a chore.] Hence one does not settle down in the conviction that this is a 'great perfection,' an 'unlimited perfection,' a 'measureless perfection', and 'infinite perfection.' [Why? Because those are limited concepts.] That is why perfect wisdom is a great perfection, unlimited, measureless, and infinite. [Not even limited by the concepts.] Perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection because objects as well as individual beings are infinite. [So here you see that "limitless," "measureless," and "infinite" are synonyms for emptiness.] Perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection because one cannot get at the beginning, middle, or end of any objective fact. Moreover, perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection because all objective facts are endless and boundless, and their beginning, middle, or end are not apprehended. For one cannot apprehend the beginning, middle and end of form. In that way, perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection by reason of the infinitude of objects. And further again, a being is endless and boundless because one cannot get at its beginning, middle, or end. Therefore perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection by reason of the infinitude of beings. [So we are strangled by the limitations of our everyday experience, including our thoughts and feelings – so ineffable, indefinable, and ungraspable. Frightening to think of that. And yet we hear about emptinesss, and we get frightened. But emptiness is the antidote to that.]
Sakra: How is it, Holy Subhuti, that perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection by reason of the infinitude of beings?
Subhuti: It is not so because of their exceedingly great number and abundance.
Sakra: How then, Holy Subhuti, is perfect wisdom an infinite perfection by reason of the infinitude of beings?
Subhuti: What factual entity does the word "being" denote?
Sakra: The word "being" denotes no dharma or non-dharma. It is a term that has been added on [to what is really there] as something adventitious, groundless, as nothing in itself, unfounded in objective fact. [So all of our language, and most of our thinking, is an add-on, without anything to which it exactly refers.]
Subhuti: Thereby, has any being shown up? [Does any being appear with your words?
Sakra: No, indeed, Holy Subhuti!
Subhuti: When no being at all has shown up, how can there be an infinitude of them? [There aren't any.] If a Tathagatha, with his voice of infinite range, with the deep thunder of his voice, should pronounce, for eons countless as the sands of the Ganges, the word 'being,' 'being' [countless beings], would he thereby produce, or stop, any being whatsoever, either in the past, present, or future?
Sakra: No, indeed, Holy Subhuti! Because a being is pure from the very beginning, perfectly pure. [Limitless, measureless, perfectly pure, impervious – all beings, all dharmas, all thoughts, all objects.]
Subhuti: In this way also, perfect wisdom is an infinite perfection by reason of the infinitude of beings. In this manner also, the infinitude of perfect wisdom should be known from the infinitude of beings.
[Page 119]Sakra: Does a Bodhisattva course only in the perfection of wisdom, and not in the other perfections?
The Buddha: […] Even so, one cannot get at a distinction or difference between the six perfections. All of them are upheld by skill in means, dedicated to the perfection of wisdom, dedicated to all knowledge.
"Skill in means" is a really important Mahayana term. Basically what it means is profound improvisation. The Perfection of Wisdom is the ultimate flexibility, right? Because there are no guidelines. So one needs to drop the significance of everything, to be fully present in any given situation, and to come forth with what is needed in that situation. Sometimes it might look this way and sometimes that way. How to come forth with all knowledge on any occasion, unique to that occasion.
This is very much the spirit of Zen. No guidelines, no rules, no set forms. Just coming forth from the groundless standing. The virtue of all the training forms is to train us in that. Here we have skill in means. The Perfection of Wisdom is all six Paramitas rolled into one.

With Loyly Helsinki offers foreign visitors a public sauna experience, a must when visiting Finland. The building was designed slim and elongated so as not to cut the narrow park. The volume is kept as low as possible so that it doesn't block views from the future residential blocks. The sauna is developed into an easy-going, faceted construction that is more part of the park than a conventional building. When the wooden building turns gray, it will become more like a rock on the shoreline. The project was first fully FSC-certified building in F inland and second in Scandinavia.
