CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second year in a row and fifth time overall, Springfield College was crowned the 2013 NEWMAC Women's Soccer Champions as they edged out host MIT, 4-3, in a penalty kick shootout following a 0-0 double overtime battle on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Pride (13-4-4) secured a spot in the upcoming NCAA Division III Championship Tournament and will learn about their next opponent when the field is revealed Monday afternoon on www.ncaa.com. The Engineers (13-2-5), meanwhile, hope to make their third straight national appearance courtesy of an at-large selection.
Junior goalie Lucy Gillett (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) was named the Tournament Most Outstanding Player after compiling six saves and only surrendered two goals in 290 minutes of action for the Pride.
With MIT taking the field first in the shootout, senior Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.) easily converted her attempt while junior Kelly Haines (Easton, Conn.) matched the effort for Springfield. Senior Rachel Dias Carlson (Albany, N.Y.) was successful on her bid as was senior Vicky DiNatale (Weymouth, Mass.). In the third round, junior Michelle Battipaglia (Katonah, N.Y.) saw her strike go wide of the far post while senior Lauren Muser (Derry, N.H.) had her shot glance off the same post. After Gillett smothered the attempt from junior Elena Gianotas (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.), freshman Elizabeth Monsen (Wayne, N.J.) gave the Pride a 3-2 lead. Sophomore Morgan Moroi (New Albany, Ohio) evened the score but senior Nina Vital (Ludlow, Mass.) buried her shot for the win.
The opening frame was a back-and-forth affair as both sides earned a pair of corner kicks and the Cardinal and Gray had a 5-4 edge in shots. Springfield and MIT managed to put two shots on goal but Gillett and freshman netminder Lauren Ullmann (Princeton, N.J.) kept the squads off the board.
Springfield nearly ended the deadlock on several occasions during the second half. In the 58th minute, sophomore Nicole Fowler (Maynard, Mass.) sent a throw into the box that glanced off a defender's leg and resulted in a corner kick. Senior Ashley Carressi (Billerica, Mass.) followed with a far-side corner kick that landed in front of the net untouched. A scramble at the goal line ensued before the ball was eventually cleared out. The Pride registered blasts by Muser, Caressi, and Monsen in the 73rd, 74th, and 82nd minutes but Ullmann turned away each attempt.
Down the stretch, sophomore Jessica Miller (Southbury, Conn.) made numerous threatening charges along the near sideline as her best effort came with 4:22 left to play. On a breakaway in the middle of the field with just Ullmann to beat, she took a dribble to the nearside to improve her angle but Ullmann slid in at the last second to grab the ball.
Held to only three shots for the frame, the Engineers' best scoring opportunity came in the 63rd minute. In a one-on-one situation with Gillett on the far side, junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) unleashed a shot that narrowly sailed over the net.
The first overtime period featured up-and-down play that produced shots by Fowler and Caressi. In the second extra frame, MIT controlled the action early on with shots by Rodriguez and junior Ashley Peter (Manhasset, N.Y.). The Pride almost captured the victory on Fowler's throw-in in the 103rd minute. The ball bounced in front of the goal, hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced back into the box but it was quickly cleared out before a play could be made.
In net, Ullmann finished the game with nine saves while Gillett turned away three shots.

Travel. It's just as well I love it. Not just the Being Somewhere Different, but the act of Getting Up And Going does it for me. Which is just as well, given the amount of time I've spent on the road recently. I'm in Germany when you're reading this, but I'm writing it holed up in my parents' house in rural Northern Ireland, with the snow falling and nothing much to do except drink beers and try desperately to make my phone take a half-decent picture of them.
Offering me comfort right now is a bottle of Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome which I picked up in a local supermarket. It pours a lovely red-gold shade with quite a bit of fizzy froth from the 55cl bottle. Toffee and golden syrup are hinted at on the nose, but while it's strong and malt-driven, it's no sticky park-bench paper-bag job. There are sophisticated glimpses of licquorice and honey in here as well, and the 6% ABV produces just the right amount of warming sensation, without overdoing it. It's one of the best seasonal-type beers I've had this, er, season.
I'm following it with the same brewery's India Ale, an IPA very much in the rough English vernacular. It's surprisingly forward about the malt, with lots of hard toffee chewiness. The hops aren't in the least bit subtle -- adding a jolt of bitterness, finishing very slightly metallic and only offering a little hint of gunpowder piquancy by way of contribution to flavour complexity. The two elements maintain an uneasy truce, and the finished product is nicely drinkable as a result. It wouldn't be a favourite of mine though, and as it warms it's giving me echoes of the rather unpleasant Fuller's IPA. I can't see myself swapping a nice juicy, zingy American IPA for this rather dour Yorkshireman.
And that's it for 2009. Join me on Friday for more auto-posted delights and the first Session of the new decade.

Palestinian officials express concerns about US ideas on Jerusalem in peace deal with Israel
RAMALLAH, West Bank – A Palestinian official says the Palestinians have reservations about some of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's ideas for the outlines of a peace deal with Israel, particularly on the future of Jerusalem.
Kerry left Monday after meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. He is to present a U.S. proposal for a peace framework and is expected back in the region next week.
The official said Monday that wide gaps remain, including about east Jerusalem.
The official says Kerry suggested that a framework refer to Palestinian "aspirations" to have a capital in Jerusalem. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of Kerry's demand for discretion.
The Palestinians want a specific mention of east Jerusalem as their capital, fearing that otherwise they'll end up with a small part of the city.

Judge Who Doesn't Understand Technology Says WiFi Is Not A Radio Communication
from the seriously? dept
But, lots of people don't understand technology and people around the world, including in governments, freaked out about this data collection. So, of course, people started filing highly questionable class action lawsuits. As more and more such lawsuits were filed, they were all consolidated into a single court. Earlier this year, we noted that the judge was trying to determine if Google's actions amounted to an illegal wiretap under ECPA (the Electronic Communications Privacy Act).
If you understand how wireless networks work, the idea that this is wiretapping is hilarious. And wrong. This is data that is broadcast in the open. Anyone can read it. You don't need special equipment or anything. You just need basic software to see what data is traveling across the network.
Tragically, the judge has gone the other way on this point (so far). Google had asked for the wiretapping/ECPA claim to be dismissed, as it claimed (quite reasonably) that it wasn't wiretapping. The judge put together an astoundingly confused ruling that decides otherwise. While the link here blames the wording of ECPA, which is certainly partly to blame, I think the judge's confusion over the technology is equally at fault. Basically, it's true that ECPA is somewhat vaguely worded, but it does say that:
It shall not be unlawful under this chapter or chapter 121 of this title for any person... to intercept or access an electronic communication made through an electronic communication system that is configured so that such electronic communication is readily accessible to the general publicFurthermore, the statue defines "readily accessible to the general public... with respect to a radio communication" by saying that it is the case if the communication is "not scrambled or encrypted."
So, this should be open and shut. An open WiFi network is clearly readily accessible to the general public by its nature. And the statute doubles down on that point by noting that the communication was not scrambled or encrypted, and thus is, by the definition in the statute, "readily accessible to the general public."
So we're done here. Right? Not unlawful. Except... no. The judge instead goes through some of the most convoluted reasoning imaginable to try to claim that data transmitted over WiFi is not radio communication. Say what now? It is true that ECPA was drafted before WiFi existed, but that doesn't mean it's not a radio communication. That's what all wireless communication is. It's a form of radio communication. That's just basic technology. But not to this judge. And, thus, Google doesn't get to dismiss the wiretapping charges. Hopefully they'll appeal and somewhere up the chain this will be corrected.

Graduate Assistants
5120.1 Length of Appointment
Normally, graduate assistants receive appointments for two semesters beginning in the Fall. If funds are available, a program may issue a contract to the student for the Summer Term at the same per-term stipend as was received during the previous academic year. Graduate assistantship support may be provided for up to a maximum of two years for master degree candidates. The program sets time limits for doctoral candidates. To receive continued support, assistants and scholars must perform satisfactorily in both degree requirements and their assistantship duties. Satisfactory progress toward a degree means meeting minimum registration requirements, maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0, and fulfilling other academic requirements as determined by the program. Failure to meet these standards, or failure to perform satisfactorily as an assistant, will be grounds for cancellation of the assistantship agreement or scholarship appointment.
Continued support of a master's level student as a graduate assistant beyond the normal two-year period requires special approval by the Dean of the Graduate School.
5120.2 Stipends
There are minimum stipend amounts for an academic year (8 month) appointment for graduate assistants. Higher stipend levels can be granted with the approval of the appropriate college/school dean. Funds for all stipends will be contained within the sponsoring college/school budget or an externally funded account.
The stipend is subject to all appropriate withholding taxes.
5120.3 Tuition Remission
Students under an assistantship agreement are eligible to be awarded a tuition remission for all instructional fees (not including laboratory or other program fees). Tuition will be applied electronically once the student is registered for the appropriate number of hours.
Tuition remissions are not authorized for audited courses. Tuition remissions are not authorized for undergraduate courses unless the courses are recommended by the graduate program and are directly germane to the assistants' courses of study. Funds for all tuition remissions, including summer term tuition remissions, will be contained within the sponsoring college/school budget or an externally or separately funded account. Students who had assistantship agreements for the preceding academic year (Fall through Spring) may be authorized, contingent upon availability of funds, a Summer Term tuition remission with no service required during the Summer Term. Students who have completed their graduate degree program of study are not authorized a Summer Term tuition remission.
Graduate assistants not completing the terms of their assistantship agreements in a given academic term may be required to reimburse the university for part or all of the tuition that was remitted. In addition, a graduate assistant dropping a course(s) after the refund date, without permission of the department/program and the Graduate School, is subject to reimbursing the University for the fees that were remitted for the dropped course(s).
5120.4 Minimum Credit Hour and Work Hour Requirements
Graduate assistants, teaching assistants, and research assistants must carry a minimum of six semester hours of graduate credit per term, and students on Graduate Council Scholarships must carry a minimum of eight graduate semester hours. These hours must consist of courses listed on the student's program of study. However, individual departments and/or programs may establish a higher minimum. Colleges/school offering scholarships may also establish a higher minimum registration requirement. Assistants may not drop below the six graduate credit hour minimum. Such an action is grounds for termination of the assistantship.
Full-time assistants normally devote a minimum of 20 hours per week to assistantship assignments (for the purpose of this manual twenty hours per week is considered a full-time appointment). Academic units should specify any other conditions (working hours, etc.). This includes off time between academic quarters, specific duties, and proper faculty supervision. Such conditions should be stated in writing on the Graduate Student Assistantship Agreement. Scholars may take less than eight hours of graduate credit only in the Summer Term.
5120.5 Hour Limit
STUDENTS MAY WORK A MAXIMUM OF 28 HOURS PER WEEK. International students who are graduate assistants are permitted by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to be employed for only twenty hours per week during a school term.
5120.6 Concurrent Appointments
Students may NOT hold concurrent active appointments with the Graduate School and the Office of Student Employment.
Students may have only one assistantship agreement at a time.
No supplemental agreements will be accepted.
Superseding agreements may be submitted at any time during the semester.
5120.7 Oral Proficiency Test
All graduate assistants who have teaching responsibilities (including graduate assistants and graduate research assistants who provide instructional or other direct-contact student services in either the classroom or laboratory) must take and pass a speaking proficiency test before they will be allowed to sign their assistantship agreements. An Ohio Law, passed in 1986, requires all assistants who provide instructional or other direct student services in the classroom or laboratory to be tested for English proficiency prior to assuming their assistantship responsibilities.
The Oral Proficiency Test (OPT) is the test that is used to determine the English proficiency of graduate assistants at Wright State University. A preliminary screening test, based on a portion of the OPT, may be given to students from countries where English is the primary language to determine if those students need to take the entire OPT.
Students who are required to take the entire OPT must score 250 (Category 1) or above in order to be approved for teaching responsibilities. Students scoring 210 to 249 (Category 2) are allowed to teach with supervision by a department advisor and simultaneous enrollment in English 1050 "Classroom Communication for the International Teaching Assistant". Students who receive an unsatisfactory grade in English 1050 are required to repeat this class the next term. Students who score below 209 (Category 3) are not qualified to teach and must take (or repeat) English 1010 before attempting the OPT again. Students may take the OPT only once each term and at least a five week interval is required between testing dates. Students should contact the Department of English Language and Literature for OPT information and registration. Students will be required to provide positive identification (including a picture I.D.) to register and to take the OPT. If possible, the OPT should be completed no later than the end of the term preceding the assumption of assistantship duties. Results of testing administered between terms or during the term in which teaching duties actually begin, may not be available for the assistantship agreement to be processed in time.
Students and departments should not contact the testing offices for test results. The Graduate School will receive the test results from the English Department and will promptly provide the results to the appropriate academic programs and students.
5120.8 Off-Campus Employment
Graduate assistants must abide by the policies of the employing program or department in regard to off-campus employment. Generally, to hold off-campus employment will require written permission from the sponsor of the graduate assistantship.
International students, in addition to the above policy, must gain approval from INS before accepting off-campus employment. Questions concerning off-campus employment should be addressed to the University Center for International Education.
Graduate scholars may hold off-campus employment and do not need permission for the employment from the colleges/school that awarded the scholarships.
5120.9 Application Procedures and Procedures for Processing Graduate Assistantship Applications
Application Procedures and Procedures for Processing Graduate Assistantship Applications
Students should contact the program(s) or department(s) in which they would like to receive assistantships to request applications and discuss opportunities. Assistantships are available in a variety of departments, programs, and some administrative offices.
- Students submit the completed applications to the departments or programs. Students may apply to more than one area by submitting an application to each of the departments, programs, or offices.
- The department, program, or office reviews the applications to insure that the graduate students are eligible for an assistantship, i.e., regular status as a degree seeking student, grade point average above 3.0, and able to register for eight credit hours applicable to the degree.
- Department(s), program(s), or office(s) decide which students to employ. When a decision is made, they complete a Graduate Assistantship Agreement form and Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 for each student they wish to employ and send the forms to the appropriate college/dean or designated representative for approval. The agreement and I-9 are then forwarded to the Graduate School for final processing. The Graduate School will be responsible for the other elements required to complete the agreements, i.e., Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) forms, satisfactory completion of the OPT, tuition remissions, and input of the appropriate information into the Banner HR/Payroll system.
All assistantship agreements should be forwarded to the Graduate School at least five weeks before the beginning of the quarter. It is important to meet this deadline so that all the processing requirements can be completed in time for the assistants to be paid during the first regularly scheduled pay period.
Wright State University has made a commitment to abide by the Council on Graduate Schools' guideline that prospective students be given until April 15 to accept any assistantship offer. Details of the CGS Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees, and Assistants can be found at http://www.cgsnet.org/?tabid=201.
- The Graduate School reviews the assistantship agreements. For legal reasons, major errors found on assistantship agreements will not be corrected by the Graduate School, but will be referred to the academic unit/department/office that prepared the agreement for correction or revision. Corrected or revised agreements should be signed by the student acknowledging the changes.
5120.10 Students' Responsibilities for Assistantship Processing
- International students granted a graduate teaching assistantship should contact the Department of English and Literatures to schedule an appointment to take the OPT to demonstrate proficiency in spoken English. This test should be successfully completed prior to an appointment date for assistantship processing. Graduate assistant and graduate research assistant candidates may be asked by their departments to take the OPT if there is any chance they may have limited classroom duties.
- F-1/J-1 Foreign students seeking Social Security Numbers for on-campus work are required to provide documentation that they have been offered an on-campus job. A letter will be issued by the employing department that provides employment verification. Additionally, a letter will also be provided by the UCIE office that verifies the visa status. The student is required to take these two letters to the Social Security Administration and apply for a Social Security card. Students may work while the Social Security application is being processed. However, they must present the receipt that shows they have applied before beginning any campus employment. The actual card should be received and presented to the Graduate School before the second pay period.
- Students should contact the Graduate School for an appointment after being notified that the assistantship agreement is ready for final processing. Appointments are made on a first-call, first-served basis. Since there are deadline dates for insuring the timely payment of stipends, students are encouraged to make an appointment as soon as possible after being notified.
- Students will complete the required tax forms and sign the assistantship agreement. Tuition will be applied electronically for the current quarter.
- Students having a full academic year assistantship agreement (Fall and Spring Semesters) may receive a tuition remission for subsequent terms. The student must be registered for the appropriate number of hours each term before tuition can be applied.
5120.11 Employment Eligibility Verification
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires all employers to verify employment eligibility of anyone employed after November 6, 1986. All graduate assistants are required to comply with this law. Prior to the appointment for final processing of the graduate assistantship agreement, students will be required to complete at the department, program or office employing them, an Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 and provide proof of citizenship or legal alien status and eligibility to work in the U.S. Newly hired employees must complete and sign section 1 of form I-9 no later than the first day of employment. Employers or their authorized representatives must complete section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment authorization within 3 business days of the employee's first day of employment. The proof required for employment eligibility is contained on the back page of the I-9. Please note that if a student cannot provide a document from List A on Form I-9, then a document from both List B and List C must be provided. However, international students with visas must provide a valid passport and form I-94 form as proof of legal alien status. Additionally, all international students must have an approved work authorization from the UCIE office dated no later than the beginning date shown on their assistantship.
5120.12 Second Year Assistantships
- Departments or Colleges desiring to retain a student as a graduate assistant appointee for a second year must send a new assistantship agreement to the Graduate School for that period.
- If a graduate assistant appointee wishes to be considered for a second year assistantship in another program, he/she must reapply.
5120.13 Graduate Assistant Evaluation
Departments and/or programs are responsible for evaluating the job performance of all graduate assistants (GAs, GTAs, and GRAs). Faculty supervisors or persons having primary responsibility for the assistants' work activities should complete the evaluations. The evaluations may be completed each academic term, or upon termination of the assistantship agreements, and should be submitted to the Department Chair/Program Director at the end of the term or upon termination of the assistantship agreements.

Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones from Bi-Rite Creamery
Waiting in a line that curves around the block is practically part of the experience when you go to San Francisco's beloved Bi-Rite Creamery. Luckily, you are usually with friends, or else you tend to make friends as you collectively wait your turn. The conversation meanders, as it will, but eventually it always comes back to, "What are you going to get?" For anyone who has waited in that line and then been forced to choose — oh, the agony of indecision! — this book is for you.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Kris Hoogerhyde, Anne Walker, and Dabney Gough
• Who published it: Ten Speed Press
• Number of recipes: 90 recipes, including about an equal number of actual ice cream recipes and other related recipes for things like cones, sauces, marshmallows, and popsicles.
• Recipes for right now: Cherry Almond Ice Cream, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, Balsamic Strawberry Ice Cream, Ginger Ice Cream
• Other highlights: I like that this book focuses not only on ice cream, but also the experience of eating ice cream. There are the photos of friends trading tastes from their cones and the picture of the two guys dressed as pints of Bi-Rite Creamery for Halloween. But there are also the recipes for building the ultimate ice cream sundaes with your kids, for the perfect little cookies to munch alongside, and for sauces to bedazzle any scoop just before you set it on the table. It's about creating the experience.
I also really appreciate that this book includes both very basic recipes for things like vanilla ice cream and mint chip ice cream as well as recipes for more esoteric tastes, like caramelized banana ice cream and basil ice cream. This gives first-time ice cream makers a place to start and ice cream nerds like me a place to go. (P.S. Yes, all your dearest and best-loved Bi-Rite Ice Creams are in the book. They held nothing back!)
• Who would enjoy this book? Anyone who wishes they had time, opportunity, and the bottomless belly to try every single Bi-Rite flavor.

I'm not quite following here: It seems like you might be advocating retransmits every half second.

DHCP IP address assignment to anonymous hosts is pseudo-random. (actually, it's done using a hash of the MAC address.

Agreed, and thanks for the pointers. Cheers, Simon.

I lived in Kayseri for a while, and have been to Ankara several times. You just have to make a trade-off. You can easily save money in Kayseri. Rents are cheaper, and you can commute to your workplace on foot. But Ankara is more liberal and it is a cosmopolitan city. Back to top QaaolchouraJoined: 10 Oct 2008Posts: 539Location: 21 miles from the Syrian border Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 8:28 pm Post subject: Personally, I like Kayseri much better. In fact on the list of Turkish cities I'd like to live in, it probably comes in third, and definitely first in the "cities without ferries" category. Kayseri is smaller, cheaper, maintains a central Anatolian charm while still having the amenities of a modern city (seriously, it feels more developed than the European part of Istanbul), and it's mostly navigable on foot. Kayseri is probably more cosmopolitan than it's generally given credit for; I noticed a seemingly disproportionately large number of Westerners and East Asians compared to Antep and Konya (the only Turkish cities of a comparable size and development level), and a larger number of Turks from outside the city. And when I visited I found it more open and forward-looking than any of the smaller Turkish cities I've visited, more so for that matter even than the "big" city of Bursa. Ankara is a beautiful little Central Anatolian city if you go there as a tourist, but if you try to go outside the city center you'll find that old Angora is now surrounded by an ocean of hideous concrete sprawl. It's a pedestrian nightmare (yes you can use public transit, but I swear the planners there have never heard of a crosswalk). And frankly I really wasn't impressed by the food there (I don't think I had a single meal that was better than mediocre, even when a local took me to his favorite place). But it's not all that expensive compared to Istanbul or the country you probably come from, though certainly more expensive than most of Turkey. I'm pretty sure that Kayseri has some nightlife, though I don't go for that myself and I don't know if there are many bars. A concern I've heard from many foreign male acquaintances (and that has now begun to worry me a bit since I'm in the boonies myself) is that is that supposedly outside of the big three, it's rather hard for non-Muslim men to date Turkish chicks. But I assume from your handle that you're a woman, and from what I hear from my female foreigner friends you'll have no problem getting Turkish men anywhere in Turkey. (If you're gay of course go for Ankara, seriously no question there. People are far more open about homosexuality in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir than in most of the country.) Unless you're really into heavy drinking and late-night partying, if you have to choose between Ankara and Kayseri, I'd strongly advise taking Kayseri and take a short trip to Ankara for the museums and historic sites.

My Summer Cloak
Added Jan 13, 2012
by angelical
Århus, Denmark
I made this cloak for the upcoming summer LARPs. I have a bigger and better cloak already, but it's just to big and heavy to carry around. This little thing weights just under 1 kg and can easialy fit a suitcase!
Made in a thin chocolate-brown wool, interlined with dark brown linen and hood lining in light brown linen. I used Simplicity 3618, but changed the closure. The pattern called for thin satin trim p hold the cloak, but it's just not enough for LARP. Instead I made a fabric-covered button and a bottonhole-thing as closure.
It was a very easy and quick project, and I will definitely be making more
And sorry for the awful pictures, it was quite windy and it rained when I took the pictures.
Material Notes
Thin wool, medium weight linen, fabric-covered button (a kit from Prym)

Merkel factor boosts party's result in German vote
BERLIN (AP) — The strong performance by Angela Merkel's conservatives in Sunday's German election was not only a victory for her Christian Democratic Union but also vindication of her strategy of transforming a party long dominated by Roman Catholic men.
During her eight years as chancellor, Merkel re-invented her party — much as Bill Clinton did with America's Democrats. She broke with some of her party's core values on the family, national security and nuclear energy and — like Clinton — pushed it to the center of national politics with dazzling success.
Some party leaders had warned in recent years that Merkel was alienating her conservative base. Instead, her strategy produced the best performance by the CDU since 1994 — virtually guaranteeing her a third term as chancellor and silencing critics within the party.
"Merkel has been totally unjustifiably criticized over the years for abandoning conservative values," said Oscar Gabriel, a political scientist at the University of Stuttgart. "In fact she's positioned the party where the majority of voters are. Her strategy has made the CDU attractive to voters in other parties."
The result:
"The CDU's entire election campaign was focused on Merkel," Germany's biggest-selling newspaper, Bild, said on its website. "Now, more than ever, she is the undisputed leader of the CDU and the entire country."
A Lutheran pastor's daughter who grew up in Communist East Germany, Merkel surprised many of her colleagues when she joined the Catholic and male-dominated Christian Democrats shortly before reunification in 1990. Within months, however, the political newcomer had been named to Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Cabinet as minister of family and women and later environment.
"Everyone thought this was because she was young, she was a woman, she was from the east and she wasn't involved with the regime there," said Jacqueline Boysen, one of Merkel's many biographers. "But things weren't that simple because she proved that it was a place she was suited for. She found that she was talented and enjoyed politics."
Underestimated by many inside and outside her party, Merkel steadily rose through the ranks to become chancellor for the first time in 2005. Her favorite phrase is: "step by step."
As she gained power Merkel shifted positions on numerous issues, most famously when she abruptly decided in 2011 to phase out nuclear power within a decade. Still, some Christian Democrats attacked the chancellor, warning that she was weakening the party by failing to defend its Christian conservative values.
And yet voters have rewarded her for trying to find the biggest possible consensus on important issues.
While many politicians face a crisis in their second term, Merkel has managed to emerge stronger than ever in voters' standing, with approval ratings above 70 percent.
And a survey by German public television station ARD found that 38 percent of voters backed the party only because of Merkel. In 2009 only 32 percent said the same. Four years earlier when Merkel first became chancellor it was 16 percent.
"Angela Merkel has great popularity ratings, better even than her party. She was able to turn this into an election gain for her party," said Deniz Anan, a lecturer in politics at Munich's Technical University.
During Merkel's only direct TV duel with her main challenger, Peer Steinbrueck of the Social Democrats, she told voters "You know me," reinforcing the motherly image she is often said to project.
"That was probably her cleverest move," said Anan. "It seems people want reliability, especially during the Euro crisis."
A commentary on the website of the German weekly Der Spiegel summed up Merkel's style as presidential and inoffensive.
"Nobody can say exactly what she stands for, but many voters feel they are in good hands with Chancellor Merkel," it said.
