'Doolittle Raiders' gather
Four of the last five survivors of a U.S. World War Two bombing mission over Japan reunited on Wednesday, 70 years after the "Doolittle Tokyo raiders" shocked Japan and lifted flagging American war morale with their daring attempt.
Only five of the 80 U.S. military members who participated in the raid are still alive and one could not attend the annual reunion at a Dayton, Ohio, military base because of ill health.
Air Force Staff Sergeant David Thatcher, 90, remembered April 18, 1942, like it was yesterday. His plane, a B-25 bomber, had just crossed Japan's coastline on its way to Tokyo as part of a surprise attack that helped change the outcome of World War Two in the Pacific. The earlier foul weather had cleared and Thatcher, a gunner, had a clear view of a crowded beach.

I have been thinking about getting a laptop computer to go with my desktop for a while now. Years, in fact. But I've never done it, because I've never really needed one and my nature is to spend money on long-term value rather than short-term gratification. Laptops depreciate so fast they feel almost disposable, thus my reluctance.

'Diamond Jubilee' locomotive unveiled
By: RAIL EXPRESS
Greater Anglia has revealed a Class 90 with a special modified livery and name to commemorate HM The Queen's 60th anniversary as the monarch of seven countries!
Richard Jewson Esq, JP, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk officially named a Greater Anglia Class 90 electric locomotive No. 90009 Diamond Jubilee in a ceremony held at Norwich station on Monday April 30, 2012.
The locomotive is part of the Greater Anglia fleet which operates inter-city train services on the Norwich–Ipswich–Colchester to London Liverpool Street GE main line route, and is adorned with special nameplates and commemorative artwork to celebrate the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen.
The fitting of 'Diamond Jubilee' nameplates to this Class 90 continues a long-held tradition of naming locomotives operating on the Norwich to London main line route in recognition of special events, regional organisations and historical figures.
Previously, Class 86/2 No. 86227 wore the Union Flag and Golden Jubilee nameplates, while Anglia Railways' sister company GB Railfreight named 66705 the same and provided a large fluttering flag graphic.
Andrew Goodrum, customer services director, Greater Anglia said: "We're delighted to play our part in celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen by naming a locomotive 'Diamond Jubilee' and we're very grateful that the Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk was able to join us to officially unveil the nameplates."

An Introduction to Prune
Plotting Data
If you have the gnuplot tool installed on your system, you can use Prune to turn the dry GPS data into colorful charts. To do this, choose View | Chart and use the Charts dialog window to specify chart settings. Select, for example, the Time option for the X-axis and Speed for the Y-axis to generate a chart that displays your speed profile (Figure 4). Either output the generated chart directly to the screen or save it as an SVG file that you can tweak in a vector drawing application such as Inkscape.
Prune can export the currently opened GPX file in several formats. The File | Export GPX command lets you save a tweaked GPX file under a different name, whereas the Export KML command can be used to save the GPX file in the Google Earth-compatible format, which allows you to display GPS data in the Google Earth application. To do this, export the currently opened GPX file, choose File | Open in Google Earth and select the exported KML file (Figure 5).
Using Prune as a Photographic Tool
Thanks to its ability to correlate photos, Prune can also be an indispensable tool for shutterbugs. But what is photo correlation and how does this feature work in Prune? If you have a digital camera, you can take photos while recording your geographical coordinates with a GPS device. Then you can open the GPX file in Prune, map your photos onto the track, and write the coordinates to the photos (i.e., geotag them). This way, you can geotag photos even if your camera doesn't have geotagging capabilities.
Correlating photos with Prune is a straightforward process. Just choose Photo | Add photos and select the photos you want to correlate. Prune can automatically correlate photos by matching the timestamp of a photo with the timestamp of a track point. To perform the automatic correlation, choose Photo | Correlate photos.
For successful correlation, the clocks in your camera and GPS device must be synchronized; otherwise, Prune will prompt you to specify a time offset. Although you can even map old photos onto a newly recorded GPX track, you will need to correlate all such photos manually.
To do this, go to the Photos list in the left panel, select a photo, press and hold the Ctrl key, and select the point you want on the map (Figure 6). Then, choose the Photos | Connect to point command. To write geotags to the photo, use the Photos | Save to Exif command (this requires that the ExifTool utility be installed on your system).
This feature is nifty, indeed, but Prune has yet another trick up its sleeve. When you export the GPX track containing correlated photos in the KMZ format, Prune generates thumbnails and bundles them with the .kmz file. In this way, you can view the correlated photos in Google Earth.
Final Word
Prune is the perfect companion to any GPS device because it's simple to use and offers all the essential features needed to view and edit GPX files. Additionally, its correlation capabilities make it a great tool for photographers. Add to this the ability to export GPX tracks as KML files, and you have a very useful application for all your GPS needs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the enterprise cloud computing (http://www.salesforce.com/cloudcomputing/) company, today announced the success of AWPRx in moving its pharmacy benefit management services, for the workers' compensation industry, to the cloud. AWPRx deployed Sales Cloud 2, Chatter and multiple custom apps built on the Force.com platform across its entire organization in order to run its business operations in the cloud, generating savings on data center and infrastructure costs, and a greater focus on customers without having to worry about administration, maintenance or upgrades.

AWPRx helps more than 95 percent of the nation's pharmacies fill prescriptions and manage claims online for workers' compensation beneficiaries on behalf of insurance carriers and third-party administrators. They were looking for a new system to replace their complex homegrown solution that could be quickly deployed and easily extended over time. In addition, AWPRx wanted employees to easily collaborate and share information on claimants, clients, vendors and regulatory organizations.
AWPRx Deploys Salesforce.com Cloud Computing Applications to Every Employee
Every employee at AWPRx is using cloud computing applications from salesforce.com, including Sales Cloud 2, Salesforce Chatter and custom applications built on the Force.com platform.
- AWPRx built several custom applications on Force.com including:
- Client protocols - (FORCERx) Houses business rules for each client activity and process.
- Finance - Manages pharmacy remittance and client invoicing.
- Risk and compliance - Tracks workers comp fee schedules by state and ensures compliance regulatory agencies.
- Human resources - Tracks attendance, punctuality and performance along with employee benefits, paid time off, reviews, and training programs.
- AWPRx replaced their corporate Web site with one built on Force.com Sites, allowing customers and employees to login to their portals.
- AWPRx implemented a customized partner portal for more than 200 clients and vendors to access consumer pre-authorization and reimbursement information.
- The company also customized its implementation with a number of applications from AppExchange 2, including Jigsaw to feed lead sources into its Salesforce CRM system, Vertical Response for e-mail marketing, and Jitterbit for integration with Amazon Web Services.
- With its recent deployment of Chatter, employees have a new way to collaborate and keep up to date on project status and activities companywide.
Cloud Computing Delivers Cost and Time Savings for AWPRx
- With its operations now in the cloud, AWPRx is saving over $100,000 annually on data center and infrastructure costs. The team no longer worries about administration, maintenance, and upgrades, and is able to have a greater focus on customers.
- AWPRx has greater reliability and scalability along with improved visibility to the effectiveness of lead-gen activities - leads can now be tracked all the way through the pipeline.
- With Force.com, non-technical staff can help design custom applications--including page layouts and report customization--so tools better address business needs.
Comments on the News
- "Salesforce CRM and the custom applications we've built with Force.com have helped us move our entire business to the cloud," said Jay Roy, CEO of AWPRx. "With Chatter we are only at the beginning of what we see as endless possibilities to grow our business in what is a very competitive market."

Antica Corte Milanese B&B reviews
- July 2012
- Venere Guest
- Family with older children
A very quaint and beautiful B&B where we got an apartment for four of us, with a very nicely stocked kitchen with utensils. This was very convenient for fixing your own meals and save money. Great for the price, very conveniently located near the train station and in a very friendly and attractive neighborhood where it was a joy to pass the time in the evenings. A great plus is the availability of a clothes washer for the guests and a big inside patio for parking cars. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We recommend that they provide ventilators for every room as they are only available upon request, but in fairness it was our oversight not asking for them the first day. In reality this should be called an apart/hotel as the breakfast consisted only of coffee.

A wonderful B&B close to the city center of Milano. Private locked parking in the courtyard. We needed at place to stay over night when we arrived in Milano late in the evening. We also needed a place where we could easly park our car. After a quick search at Venere.com we found this wonderful place. Both the host, the rooms and the place is a perfect place to stay when you visit Milano if you prefer a B&B-style hotel. We rate our overall stay here at Antica Corte Milanese as excellent. We will stay there also the next time we visit Milano.

How to reach Antica Corte Milanese Bed and BreakfastBy car
Antica Corte Milanese is situated in the historical centre of Novate Milanese, at the gates of Milan in a residential area, very green and full of shops, well connected to the centre of the metropolis and the two exhibition areas of the Milan Fair.
Indeed, it is situated at only 100 metres from the S line railway station (FNM railway station) arriving in 8 minutes to the Bovisa Polytechnic, in 10 minutes to Fieramilanocity, in 15 to the centre of Milan (piazza Cadorna) and in 40 minutes to Malpensa Airport (Malpensa Express-FNM train).
By motorway there are two very near exits: Cormano on the A4 TO-VE motorway and Fiera Milano/Rho on the A8 MI-VA motorway (from there the clearway Rho-Monza connects Antica Corte Milanese to the new fair in 5 minutes by car).
If you arrive by car from the Turin-Milan motorway (A4):
If you arrive from the Turin-Milan motorway (going towards Venice), come off at the Fiera Milano and follow the indications for Tangenziale Nord (North ring-road)/Monza. Once you have come onto the Rho-Monza clearway, follow indications for Monza/Novate centre. After the Novate centre underpass, turn left for Via Portone and left again for Via Repubblica, proceeding until no. 86.
By train
If you are arriving by train from Milano Centrale Station:
Take the underground yellow line to reach the stop of piazza Repubblica; from there the S line for Saronno and get off at Novate.
Take the green line of the underground up to Cadorna and from there the S line towards Saronno and get off at Novate.
Take bus n° 82 for Novate and get off at the stop "via V. Veneto" (this alternative, however, is a little long).
By airplane
If you arrive by aeroplane from Malpensa:
Take the Malpensa Express train (shuttle train to Milan) get off at Saronno (second stop), and from here take a train for Milan, taking care that it stops at Novate Milanese; otherwise, do not get off at Saronno, but carry on until Bovisa station; at this point, take a train for Saronno which goes back to Novate Milanese (2 stops).
If you are arriving by air from Linate:
Take bus number 73 for Milan and get off in Viale Campania, at 100 mt. from Porta Vittoria; from here take line S towards Saronno which stops at Novate Milanese.
Or take the shuttle bus and get off at Stazione Centrale (Central Station) of Milan.
If you are arriving by air from Orio al Serio:
Take the motorway bus for the Central Station of Milan:
Get off and take the underground green line to reach Stazione Garibaldi or Stazione Cadorna and from there the S line for Saronno and get off at Novate.
Or reach the S line station by foot (300 mt) of piazza Repubblica and take the train for Novate.

Comment: I think the idea is to bring attention to the reality that there are no real mechanisms to correct false data that may be listed under an individual in the databases used by the criminal background check industry like there is in the credt reporting industry. I don't know about you - but I sure would not want to be looked over for employment over incorrect data. I also would want a way to get the information corrected. Without that ability to correct it - the data lacks integrity and should not be used.1 Recommendation
Comment: I have doubts that what has been leaked to the public is the only thing this sort of data is being monitored for. It isn't a far reach to think that it is possible that this data is being reviewed also to help identify hacker attacks, phone phishing, email phishing, email spam etc and to profile common attacks that have occurred which will then help predict potential future attacks of this nature. When something is found - what happens next? What should happen?
As for social media monitoring - I use facebook . Am I being / going to be looked at more closely just because I have some facebook friends from foreign countries? Are my chats and private messages there being monitored too? If it is illegal for others to go onto my account to view that information on an individual / business / corporate level, then shouldn't it also be illegal for any governmental entity to be able to view the contents of such items without a warrant?
This broad brush data gathering makes it all too easy to find evidence of a preconceived wrong doing - when one searches long enough to justify a position - evidence will eventually be found. This is what causes witchhunts and situations where something / someone is Guilty until proved Innocent.
So much for being innocent until proved guilty. Another U.S. citizen right tossed away.
I make a plea to our elected officials: Please bring our country's laws up to speed to be more in sync with today's technologies immediately. The concept of privacy and what is private data is on the brink of total destruction.
Comment: IMHO - Too many jobs for positions that reside within the United States have become 'augmented managed resources'. This is not limited to positions where the work is primarily performed offshore. This happens every day within our borders. There is this layer of middlemen companies who makes tons of money by offering human resources for a limited time for specified positions. To me - this is the real disconnect. Too many positions have become 'staff augmented resources' where the work is performed by a contractor and someone in the middle makes money at the expense of the skilled worker. This has impacted health insurance and other benefits that exist at far better amounts / levels for the full time employee (FTE) as well as for the contract worker who, in my experience, has inferior benefits to the FTE. This system allows the consulting firm to potentially earn $10.00 if not more per hour for matching a human being with a job for a short term amount of time.
This paradigm no longer works. It becomes far more complicated when Hb-1 visas are taken into consideration. It needs to be improved.
Just my 2 bits (before inflation - it used to be my 2 cents)
Comment: It will be very scary if anyone who gets a phone with this pre-installed is required to provide a facebook login in addition to a gmail address when registering the phone. Not all FB users want to use it on their smart phone. My concern is that eventually that could become a requirement. Looks like I'm keeping my existing phone and won't ever update the Android software if that is included until my contract is up and I can switch to non-Android smartphone.3 Recommendations
Comment: I'm a Tastycake gal - having grown up just a few miles from their original plant, so I never got into the Hostess brand. I will miss their Nature's Own bread.
I hope the Twinkie brand remains around so when our grandkids and their kids watch 'Zombieland' they will understand what they are

Michele Delahunty-Cloutier worked as brand president for Chico's FAS, Inc.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug. 24 -- Borders Group, Inc. today announced it has strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Michele Delahunty-Cloutier as the company's new executive vice president, chief merchandising officer.
Delahunty-Cloutier has more than 22 years of merchandising experience with a heavy focus on female lifestyle brand building as well as repositioning and redefining the business of multi-billion-dollar specialty retail organizations. Her industry experience includes leadership and management of both start-up divisions as well as turn-around businesses that have produced positive sales growth and increased customer loyalty.
As CMO, Delahunty-Cloutier will oversee merchandising, marketing and supply chain, playing an integral role in helping Borders redefine its brand and drive a turnaround of the company. She will report to Borders CEO Mike Edwards.
"Michele has an exceptional track record of building dominant global brands," said Edwards. "She's a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work type of executive who is adept at effectively working with cross functional business teams to unite a company under one brand vision. I look forward to working closely with Michele to achieve our company's strategic goals and ultimately reposition the company for success."
Most recently Delahunty-Cloutier, 45, served as Brand President for Chico's FAS, Inc. where she was responsible for creating a cohesive brand while supervising merchandising, sales, marketing and store operations teams. Before being promoted to Brand President for Chico's, she served as the organization's Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer and Executive Vice President, General Merchandising Manager from 2006 through 2007.
Prior to joining Chico's, Delahunty-Cloutier served as an independent retail consultant from 2004 through 2006. Previous to that role, she was Senior Vice President, General Merchandise Manager for Ann Taylor Stores, where she was hired as part of the turnaround team to reposition the brand. Her direct responsibilities included the merchandising for Ann Taylor stores and merchandising and planning for the online business. Before joining Ann Taylor, Delahunty-Cloutier served in various merchandising leadership roles with The Gap, Inc. from 1993 through 2002, most notably Vice President, General Merchandise Manager, GAP Body and Divisional Merchandising Manager for Woman's Wovens for Banana Republic. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Wells College in Aurora, N.Y.
Borders has also named two new regional vice presidents to lead its store teams. Eric Kovats is regional vice president for the Southeast region and Beatrice Vicente is regional vice president for the West Coast region. Both are responsible for managing district managers and store managers with the overall goal of creating and maintaining an outstanding customer shopping experience.
Kovats has extensive retail experience, most recently serving as Regional Vice President, Stores for Heartland Automotive Services, Inc., the largest franchisee of Jiffy Lube Stores in the country. Prior to this role, he served for four years as Executive Vice President, Stores Organization for Friedman's Jewelers, Inc., where he was responsible for the overall operation of 481 stores with sales of $400 million. He earlier served as Regional Vice President for Jo-Ann Stores, and previous to that, served in a number of leadership roles with Service Merchandise Co., Inc. including Senior Vice President, Store Sales Organization.
Vicente, 51, is also a seasoned retailer. Prior to starting at Borders, Vicente served as Regional Vice President of Stores – Pacific Region for Toys "R" Us, Inc., where she was responsible for over 150 stores in 10 states that generated $1.3 billion in sales. Prior to this role, she was Group Director for Target Corporation where she oversaw six District Team Leaders and 52 stores with $3.0 billion in sales. Her previous roles include Senior Vice President/Director of Stores, Central Offices for Charlotte Russe and Senior Director of Financial and Store Operations for Banana Republic.
"Consistently providing an exceptional customer shopping experience is absolutely essential to rebuilding and maintaining the Borders brand," said Edwards. "As we work aggressively to make improvements in our in-store experience by introducing more non-book items, expanding key categories and improving our book assortment, it's critical to have leaders such as Eric and Beatrice in place to ensure these efforts are executed well across all stores."

Charles Austin - seed parent
I know that Charles Austin is a good seed parent as to setting hips. But, what do you think about it as passing on good attributes to its progeny?
I'm asking because my Charles Austin (grown in a pot) is a weak grower with not all that many blooms. Probably doesn't like being grown in a pot? I was thinking of getting rid of it. I've had it for 3 years.
But, if it's fantastic as a parent - then I'll keep it.
What are your thoughts?
Carol, I think your issues with Charles Austin are likely due to it being stunted by the length of your growing season; the severity of your winters and being "bonsaied" in a pot. In a much longer climate, Charles is ginormous. It wants to be a large plant to produce quantities of those very double blooms. What I would consider is the likelihood of it passing on that tendency to your seedlings, which could make it unsuitable for use in YOUR climate. How could you evaluate any seedling when the plant is unsuitable for your conditions? You might actually have a world beater from your efforts, but wouldn't be able to determine it because it needs/wants to be too large to perform, but being stunted/inhibited by your climate and the need to be pot grown to maintain it. I can see where you'd need vigor to your seedlings so they could perform in your shorter warm season and colder winters. That's one reason Austin uses climbers to breed his roses. Compared to the warmer, easier climates, his is more like yours, but when unleashed in our types, his roses often over achieve, out growing the spaces allotted them.
Perhaps your efforts may be better rewarded by selecting those roses in your stable which are happier being grown the way you must? Just a thought. Kim
Yeah, I agree with you.
However, my roses will never be offerred to anyone else. Here disease is not a problem at all. Never. So I could never evaluate my roses for that. If I had any that were good - I could never say they were disease resistant. Besides the odds that I could hybridize anything of worth are low. :)
But I've taken Charles Austin off my list. I just decided CA didn't do it here - as you said.
Please help me on my next therad about Night Owl. :)
Carol, regarding never being able to evaluate for disease- First, I wouldn't be so sure- there is a fungus for every climate! At least in the bone-dry zone 3 I grew up in, there is still a bit of blackspot and loads of powdery mildew. And even if you were disease free, you could still trial your roses in other environments. This is what I hope to do one day: get a network of like-minded breeders in other environments and trial each others' roses for local disease resistance. IE maybe I could grow out a few of your winners here on the coast, testing them against our nasty blackspot, and you could test others' roses for winter hardiness, say. I realize you're just starting out, and these kinds of things might be a ways off (as they are for me at the moment) but anything is possible.
I worry about these independent breeders here and there who are keeping really beautiful, promising roses under a bushel, if you'll pardon the Biblical allusion, when they might really deserve some serious consideration.
That sounds like a great idea! However, I don't think I would be able to help you out for hardiness. My area is glacial till and is impossible to grow roses in. So I grow mine in pots and overwinter in the garage.
But we do have a rose society here, and most of the members live in a different area than I - so they can plant in the ground.
And I guess you are right - in the worst conditions - I have had one or two get a bit of powdery mildew. :)

"A Classic-- a little battered by time, though"
The story is colored by the prejudices of the time in which it is written. Even as the story examines prejudice and racism by depicting the interactions of a human and robot detective pair, the relationship between the man and his wife makes it clear this book was written in the 1950s. Having read many other Asimov stories, I never previously encountered such misogyny in his writing. Nonetheless, the idea of the caves of steel to which Manhattan has given rise is awe-striking for this current Manhattanite. And in this age of technology, robots of the sort imagined by Asimov are closer than ever. While this story sometimes seemed silly and predictable in its writing, the ideas which provide the setting for this story are remarkable, and fun to think about.

Novartis posts profit gain thanks to new drugs
Wednesday - 4/24/2013, 4:27pm EDT
Associated Press
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) -- Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis AG reported a 6.7 percent increase in profit for the first quarter Wednesday, boosted by new products and emerging markets.
Novartis says its net profit rose to $2.42 billion from $2.27 billion in the same period last year despite declining sales of its blockbuster heart drug Diovan, which lost U.S. patent protection last year.
The Basel-based company said in a statement the increase -- a turnaround from the 18 percent earnings drop in the first quarter of 2012 -- reflected new product launches such as Gilenya for multiple sclerosis and Afinitor for cancer, strength in emerging markets and EU and U.S. drug approvals to offset patent expirations.
The newly launched drugs added $4.2 billion in revenue, almost a third of sales, making up for its estimated $500 million in losses during the quarter because of patent expirations.
But the quarter was notably marked by the controversy over Novartis' outgoing board chairman, Daniel Vasella, who touched off widespread anger for his whopping 72 million Swiss francs ($77 million) severance package that he later declined because of the Swiss public's outcry.
Also Wednesday, Novartis disclosed that its new chairman, Joerg Reinhardt, would be paid 3.8 million francs, split equally between cash and stock, plus receive 2.6 million euros for lost compensation from his former employer. It also said that Ulrich Lehner would receive about 790,000 francs in cash and stock for serving as chairman ad-interim from Feb. 22 until July 31.
Novartis also unexpectedly announced that its chief finance officer, Jon Symonds, is being replaced by Harry Kirsch, the finance head for the pharmaceuticals division.
On Tuesday, the U.S. government filed a civil health care fraud lawsuit against Novartis in New York, claiming it gave kickbacks to pharmacies to switch transplant patients from competitors' drugs to its own.
The suit, which claims the company's actions caused the public to pay tens of millions of dollars for kickback-tainted drugs, seeks unspecified damages and civil penalties. Novartis, which says it disputes the claims and will defend itself, settled fraud charges based on kickbacks less than three years ago.
Shares in Novartis closed down 0.36 percent at 69 francs Wednesday on the Zurich exchange.

A WOMAN'S PLACE: A special report; Lower-Caste Women Turn Village Rule Upside Down
By CELIA W. DUGGER
Published: May 3, 1999
CHIJARASI, India— Rani, an illiterate woman from the washermen's caste, changed into her prettiest sari one recent morning. Heavy with child, she boarded a series of crowded, ramshackle buses for the dusty, two-and-a-half-hour ride to the bureaucrat who has become her teacher in the art of governing.
Scorned by the upper-caste Brahmins who have long dominated this small village, Rani -- who like many lower-caste women goes by only one name -- is now head of the village council, or panchayat. ''I am the boss,'' she said boldly.
She is one of almost a million women who have been elected to village governing councils since India adopted a constitutional amendment in 1993 that set aside a third of all panchayat seats and village chiefs' positions for women and set aside a percentage of those for women from the lowest rungs of the caste system.
This epic social experiment is playing out in more than 500,000 villages that are home to more than 600 million people -- about 1 of every 10 people on earth. In many North Indian villages like this one, women who are expected to veil their faces and submit to male elders are now challenging centuries-old, feudal hierarchies.
''The Government has turned power upside down,'' said Alam Singh, a Brahmin farmer who was village head before Rani took over. ''The Government is making these people sit on top of us. We are the rulers, but now she is ruling.''
''She's stupid, she's illiterate, she doesn't listen to anybody,'' he said, angrily poking the air with his finger.
A new Government-financed study, based on field work in 180 villages in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and coordinated by the Center for Women's Development Studies in New Delhi, found that while a third of the new women panchayat members are just rubber stamps for their husbands, two-thirds are actively engaged in learning the ropes and exercising power.
Like men, women panchayat leaders, too, are now involved in obtaining village land for schools, selecting families who will qualify for Government housing and deciding how to distribute brick lanes, latrines and electricity.
But changing deep-rooted social attitudes cannot be accomplished by legal fiat.
In Chijarasi, Rani has assumed the mantle of village chief -- but whether she can hold on to it is another matter. While a third of the seats on each panchayat are permanently reserved for women, the panchayat-head slots for women -- one-third of the total -- rotate to different villages every five years, when new elections are held.
In the next election, Rani's seat will no longer be reserved for a low-caste woman. If she seeks re-election, she will have to run against candidates from the land-owning Brahmin elite who have always been in charge. Brahmin men, even those who believe she has done a good job, say they will vote for one of their own next time.
Two Villages
Air of Subversion And Big Obstacles
Generalizing about the experiences of villages -- each as individual as a thumb print -- is risky, but Government officials say the new rules are having their greatest effects in states where women have already made strides, for example in Kerala, where 9 of every 10 rural women are literate. Change will come more slowly in a state like Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous, where only 35 percent of rural women can read and write, compared with 66 percent of the men.
During six months of periodic visits to Chijarasi and Khoda, two villages in Uttar Pradesh that are almost three miles apart, the subversive nature of the change was apparent in Chijarasi, while the serious obstacles were visible in both places.
In Khoda, Munni Yadav is the pradhan, or village head, but her husband, Bir Bal Singh Yadav, held the job for three decades before he chose her to stand for election when the position was reserved for a woman. Mr. Yadav, regally ensconced on his charpoy -- the traditional Indian cot -- shooed his wife away to make tea and declared that he would answer all questions. Each time she attempted to speak, he cut her off.
''My lady is illiterate,'' he said, as his wife -- like a ghostly shadow in a pale lavender sari -- walked around the courtyard, her silver ankle bracelets tinkling softly. ''She has to attend the meetings, but besides that, I do all the work and I explain matters to the authorities.''
When the panchayat members gathered for a meeting in January, Mrs. Yadav was sitting on the sidelines, holding her 3-year-old granddaughter on her lap. The only woman in the center of the courtyard with Mr. Yadav and the male panchayat members was wordlessly pouring tea.
Mr. Yadav, who belongs to the middling caste of cowherds, puffed away on bidis -- hand-rolled cigarettes -- and accepted the greetings of members. They said, bowing respectfully, ''Namaskar, pradhanji,'' which, roughly translated, means ''Good day, Mr. Mayor.'' Even Mrs. Yadav, herself the pradhan, called her husband by that title and scolded visitors for failing to do so.
''I'm not an educated woman,'' said Mrs. Yadav, who won election in a field of a dozen women candidates. ''I am a village woman. So most of the work is done by my husband. We village women are not supposed to come out of the house and speak with strangers.''
