Spooks still prefer BlackBerrys for swapping secrets
BlackBerry is to retain its status as the government's favoured mobile device for transferring restricted information, despite the network problems that led to a widespread breakdown in its service for three days last week. Different versions of the device have been approved for use at IL3 (restricted) level when configured and …
Don't forget the built-in theft protection
Nobody wants to steal them
Confidentiality trumps Availability
Does Integrity get a look in somewhere?
And that would be why
BB will continue to exist as a smartphone company, certain stock trader opinions not withstanding.
And yes, it works that way on the other side of The Pond too.
exchange them "on a private network run by the Canadian manufacturer Research In Motion"
You mean to say the UK government doesn't have it's very own enterprise server?
GCHQ recommends Blackberry
'A spokesman for GCHQ said: "BlackBerry is still the government's favoured method of protecting the delivery of data up to IL3. There is no indication that this will change."`
That's cause evereything is already sent back to 'Information Retrieval` ..
`Mr Lint the next customer has been delivered to us'
Restricted ain't secret - it's more to do with the lunchtime menu at Cheltenham.
Didn't see any outage for my gov BB...
... maybe that's why they're still recommended
I see on BBC's "Spooks" they used to use Nokia, now they use iPhone.
@Richard Taylor 2
Not entirely true. I've worked with restricted docs which certainly aren't lunch time menus, and which I certainly would regard as sensitive, but I'm not going to tell you what kind of docs they are.
I dont get it
Surely secret squirrels would want control of the data between handset and destination with as few steps as possible?
You could encrypt both ends now. Adding in someone elses system which could fail or get hacked surely isnt a wise idea for spook data?
It's just another unnecessary point added to the data path where someone could get hold of it.

Amethi: Counter Mayawati with Priyanka --
this was apparently the suggestion by a Congress activist to
Rahul Gandhi after he declared that the party was aiming at
forming a government in Uttar Pradesh.
"Agar aap UP mein sarkar banana chahate hai to
Priyanka ko age kyon nahi late (if you want to form the
government in UP, why don`t you bring Priyanka Gandhi
forward)," Congress activist Sonu Singh stood up and asked as
Rahul concluded his speech during a function at Raiphulwari.
The AICC general secretary evaded the question and
said he would discuss it later with him.
Rahul`s sister Priyanka, a mother of two, has stayed
away from politics restricting herself to campaigning for her
brother and mother Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
Addressing the villagers, Rahul accused Chief Minister
Mayawati of stifling central schemes in the state and said
that Congress can ensure development only after it comes into
power in Uttar Pradesh.

Five awkward language moments
Photo by Visentico/Sento/Flickr (Creative Commons)
In a post earlier this week, I described what can best be called being haunted by the ESL ghost. I learned English in kindergarten and have no discernible accent, no trace of my native Spanish in my otherwise very American-sounding speech.
But growing up in a family of immigrant English learners, I picked up many of the mispronunciations that are common to those who learn English as a second language, and some of these dog me to this day.
In the post I shared a couple of awkward language moments, like times I've mispronounced colander as "co-LAN-der" and my tendency to call a skiing balaclava a "ba-CLA-va," which sounds a bit like one of my favorite pastries.
Since then, readers have responded by sharing some of their own ESL moments. Here are a few, edited slightly for typos:

Race and the Dodger Stadium attack
Photo by FoxKat/Flickr (Creative Commons)
A couple of days ago I came across an essay that got at the heart of the uncomfortable racial undercurrent running through the discussion of last week's senseless beating of a San Francisco Giants fan by two men at Dodger Stadium on opening night.
The victim, Bryan Stow, a Santa Cruz paramedic and father who was beaten so severely he may have brain damage, is white. The attackers, who have yet to be caught, are described as Latino. Writing for the L.A. Forward website, Tomás J. Benítez, a longtime Dodger fan and advisor to the Latino Baseball History Project of the Baseball Reliquary, took on the race issue:
Whether this was a racially motivated crime is yet to be determined, but it is possible, given that bigotry is often a characteristic of thugs—who come in all colors.
Race is a factor for all the wrong reasons. When news of the incident broke I was chagrined. It just had to be stupid Mexicans, I said to myself. A local writer made reference to Raider fans—a barely veiled, racially charged comment that infers rowdy fans from lower classes who are part of the thug culture, often Black and Brown. He was very bold to call it as he sees it, he just didn't say what he really meant. In either case, we are both wrong. What happened was indeed one isolated incident, poorly monitored by park security, infused by booze and stupidity, and a desecration of sports to any fan—regardless of color, religion, gender or lifestyle.
Francisco Castañeda's testimony helped spur ICE detention overhaul
Photo by antonychammond/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Yesterday the federal government agreed to pay $1.95 million to the family of Francisco Castañeda, a man who died more than three years ago from penile cancer that went untreated while he was in immigrant detention, first in San Diego and later in San Pedro.
It's a case that had far-reaching repercussions. The federal government has already acknowledged negligence in the case of Castañeda, who was 36 when he died in February 2008. His case and his Congressional testimony - along with several other lawsuits and media reports of detainee deaths, overcrowding and oversight problems - helped prompt the federal government to recommend an overhaul of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention system.
There is still criticism of shortcomings in the system, much of which depends on outside contractors, but Castañeda's story had an impact. He testified before the House immigration subcommittee in October 2007, four months before he died. Here are some excerpts:
In the news this morning: An L.A. family story, a refugee's food fusion truck, damages to be paid for detainee's cancer death, more

Blog Tags: Leatherback Conservation Day
California and Indonesia Urged to Build Relationships to Save Leatherback Sea Turtles
In response to Governor Brown's signing of Assembly Bill 1776, which designates the endangered leatherback sea turtle as California's official state reptile and designates October 15 as Leatherback Conservation Day, state and federal agencies have been encouraged to build cooperative relationships with the Western Pacific island nations, where Pacific leatherback sea turtles return from California waters to nest. This fall, from October 14-17th, political leaders from Indonesia and the United States will meet with notable marine and leatherback scientific experts to discuss the status of the species, the population, international conservation efforts, current conservation efforts in both countries, and socio-economic research of conservation.

Leatherback Declared New CA State Symbol
It's been a leatherback-heavy news week and for all the right reasons. First a dramatic leatherback sea turtle rescue off of Cape Cod grabbed headlines over the weekend and then yesterday California governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill designating the Pacific leatherback as the state's marine reptile.
The law designates October 15, 2013 as the first annual Leatherback Conservation Day, during which California schools will be encouraged to teach students about this prehistoric sea turtle species, which makes a heroic 6,000 mile journey from Indonesia to the California coast to feed on jellyfish. The species, which is the largest turtle on Earth, has been decimated in recent decades, its population numbers plummeting as much as 95% due to bycatch by industrial fishing drift nets and longlines, poaching and plastic pollution (leatherbacks often mistake plastic bags for their favorite prey, jellyfish).
"By recognizing the Pacific leatherback as the newest state symbol, Governor Brown continues California's leadership in ocean conservation," said Ashley Blacow, Oceana's Pacific Policy and Communications Coordinator. "Pacific leatherbacks are on the brink of extinction, and public awareness is a key ingredient to turning the tide for these ancient marine reptiles."
Help Oceana make everyday Leatherback Conservation Day!

As smart as our phones and tablets may be, we're always challenged with battery life.
The Puku external charger is a compact while powerful solution to keeping connected to our digital world.
After Hurricane Sandy left thousands of New Yorkers powerless, entrepreneurs Meck Khalfan and Ani Onuorah developed the Puku. Comfortably carried in a computer bag, purse or backpack, the minimally designed Puku charger is compatible with hand-held devices including smartphones, tablets, digital cameras and gaming devices that charge via a USB cable.
Check it out: Custom Skullcandy Headphones…
brandnewdaydesigns discovered team Puku exhibiting at the Luxury Technology Show in New York City and spoke with President and Co-creator Ani Onuorah about their creatively designed 'power on the go' solution…
brandnewdaydesigns : There are a lot of external chargers in the marketplace. What makes the Puku special?
Ani Onuorah: When we started out my business partner Meck Khalfan and I asked ourselves that very question. What is it about our charger we want to be unique? We knew we had to find a good designer. It's the superior design that makes Puku unique. It's got curves and an interesting minimally designed indicator that changes color as the capacity drops. The Puku is very cool and trendy. We actually have a lot of fashion enthusiast who immediately gravitate to the Puku as soon as they see it.
…We were the first to introduce colors on this scale. Yes, there are other manufacturers who've since copied our colors, but you're not getting the same brand or feeling of comfort you get when you're holding a Puku. It's very different.
bndd: Speaking of different, Puku is a very creative name…
Onuorah: Puku is a breed of antelopes found in the savannah grasslands of Africa. Puku's are very strong and resilient and have a great talent for survival. Like these creatures, we think our chargers are strong yet beautiful and will help keep your devices up and running. Without a charger, you basically aren't connected and in this day and age – you need to be connected.
With a capacity of 8000 mAh, a single full charge of the Puku S8 charger will provide three to five full charges for most smart phones and 50-100% charge for most tablets. The external charger comes with a USB cable that connects to micro USB devices. Any USB cable used for charging devices such as smartphones or tablets is compatible.
DISCOVER: Puku

The Owner purchased this condo in 2005
Why The Owner chose Boston
The train station is less than a 9 minute walk from the condominium and the airport is no more than a 6 minute cab ride. The location is fabulous and why I bought in the North End â?? the condominium is across the street from the water and steps away from the most fabulous restaurants, bars, wine and bakeries in Boston. Everhing is at your fingertips: the Waterfront, Faneuil Hall, Freedom Trail, Charlestown Navy Yard, and the Fleet Center, all within a 5-10 minute walk, no more. Even though the condominium is so close to many popular destinations in Boston you may just find yourself in awe of the North End and relaxing in the North End and Waterfront. Some of my favorite restaurants are: Strega (2 min. walk), Prezza (5 min. walk), Taranta (7 min. walk) and Dolce Vita (6 min. walk). If you like seafood, please try Neptune Oyster (8 min. walk). Also, please be sure to go on the Harbor walk in the mornings or at sunset, it's my favorite thing to do; just cross the street and you're at the waterfront where you can find more restaurants, lounges, and bars.
What makes this condo unique
The condominium has a huge, amazing roof deck with views of the Boston skyline and the water. Enjoy dinner on the roof deck, one of my favorite things to do. The condominium has granite countertops, stainless steel dishwasher and sink and a beautiful granite breakfast bar. The condominium is a penthouse unit located on the top floor and is very sunny. Some of the amenities include: Central AC, a washer/dryer in the bathroom, hardwood floors throughout, a large amount of closet space and granite countertop in the bathroom and kitchen. Lights in the living area and bedroom are on dimmers.

In 1676 a man was licensed to
teach a grammar school. (fn. 99) Before 1810 there were
a day and a Sunday school, where 35 to 40 children
were taught to read and write and to do needlework,
established by the rector John Poole, with Lord
Egmont's support. Children of 3 or 4 years were
taught to read and write and cast accounts using a
sand table. Older children learnt grammar, mental
arithmetic, and chronology and were taught to teach
the younger pupils. Children attended school for
seven hours a day and had a holiday every alternate
Saturday and for a week at each of the three major
feasts. (fn. 1) By 1819 the day school had 100 pupils and
the Sunday school up to 60. (fn. 2) By 1835 these two
schools had 49 and 44 children respectively, a
second day school 18, and there were 16 attending
a mixed boarding school begun in 1826. (fn. 3)
In 1846 there were 36 children at the Sunday
school and 31 children at a dame school, and a
National school was under construction. (fn. 4) It was
finished in 1848, enlarged in 1888, and had 52
children on the books in 1903. (fn. 5) Numbers fell to
40 in 1935 but rose to 71 in 1975. In 1981 there
were 51 children on the register. (fn. 6)
A boarding school for young children at Lexworthy between 1841 and 1861 may have been
that begun in 1826. (fn. 7)

Celebrate Being You
By Things I Can't Say on March 10, 2013
Sponsored Post
I can't dance, but I love to. So, I still shake in the front row of Zumba class. I can't sing, but still think it's fun to sing along with the radio at the top of my lungs. And I'm probably dancing, too- it's not like anyone can see me in the car, right? Oh, oops. I can hold conversations using only movie quotes or song lyrics. And I will crack up if whomever I'm talking to doesn't realize what I'm doing. Finding new ways to tie my hair up in a messy bun is a favorite hobby of mine, especially since messy buns work so well with the yoga pants I think I should live in.

Revolution Analytics today introduced 'Big Data' analysis to its Revolution R Enterprise software, taking the popular R statistics language to unprecedented new levels of capacity and performance for analyzing very large data sets. For the first time, R users will be able to process, visualize and model terabyte-class data sets in a fraction of the time of legacy products—without employing expensive or specialized hardware.
The new version of Revolution R Enterprise introduces an add-on package called RevoScaleR that provides a new framework for fast and efficient multi-core processing of large data sets. It includes:
- The XDF file format, a new binary 'Big Data' file format with an interface to the R language that provides high-speed access to arbitrary rows, blocks and columns of data.
- A collection of widely-used statistical algorithms optimized for Big Data, including high-performance implementations of Summary Statistics, Linear Regression, Binomial Logistic Regression and Crosstabs—with more to be added in the near future.
- Data Reading & Transformation tools that allow users to interactively explore and prepare large data sets for analysis.
- Extensibility, expert R users can develop and extend their own statistical algorithms to take advantage of Revolution R Enterprise's new speed and scalability capabilities.
"The R language's inherent power and extensibility has driven its explosive adoption as the modern system for predictive analytics," said Norman H. Nie, president and CEO of Revolution Analytics. "We believe that this new Big Data scalability will help R transition from an amazing research and prototyping tool to a production-ready platform for enterprise applications such as quantitative finance and risk management, social media, bioinformatics and telecommunications data analysis."
Sage Bionetworks is the nonprofit force behind the open-source collaborative effort, Sage Commons, a place where data and disease models can be shared by scientists to better understand disease biology. David Henderson, Director of Scientific Computing at Sage, commented: "At Sage Bionetworks, we need to analyze genomic databases hundreds of gigabytes in size with R. We're looking forward to using the high-speed data-analysis features of RevoScaleR to dramatically reduce the times it takes us to process these data sets."
Take Hadoop and Other Big Data Sources to the Next Level
Revolution R Enterprise fits well within the modern 'Big Data' architecture by leveraging popular sources such as Hadoop, NoSQL or key value databases, relational databases and data warehouses. These products can be used to store, regularize and do basic manipulation on very large datasets—while Revolution R Enterprise now provides advanced analytics at unparalleled speed and scale: producing speed on speed.
"Together, Hadoop and R can store and analyze massive, complex data," said Saptarshi Guha, developer of the popular RHIPE R package that integrates the Hadoop framework with R in an automatically distributed computing environment. "Employing the new capabilities of Revolution R Enterprise, we will be able to go even further and compute Big Data regressions and more."
Platforms and Availability
The new RevoScaleR package will be delivered as part of Revolution R Enterprise 4.0, which will be available for 32-and 64-bit Microsoft Windows in the next 30 days. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 5) is planned for later this year.
On its website, Revolution Analytics has published performance and scalability benchmarks for Revolution R Enterprise analyzing a 13.2 gigabyte data set of commercial airline information containing more than 123 million rows and 29 columns.
Additionally, the company will showcase its new Big Data solution in a free webinar on August 25 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific. Registration information is located at http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/news-events/free-webinars/2010/bigdata.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux made their way around Kauai on Monday, both showing off the personalized rings they bought together earlier this Summer. She kept Justin close, affectionately placing her hands on his shoulders as they headed inside a shop. The couple emerged later with their purchase in a black gift bag. Jennifer and Justin did the trek to Hawaii in order to be with their mutual friend Christine Taylor as she celebrated her 40th birthday. Her party was later Monday night, and Justin was seen handing off the gift in the black bag. Jen and Justin were out for more fun yesterday, leaving their hotel in a rented SUV to pick up fresh fruit. It seems Jennifer and Justin are sticking around for some private vacation time following Christine's shindig as they prep to hit the promotional trail together for September's Wanderlust.

Getting Well With Oriental Medicine
"I'm not getting sick, but my wife and daughter are. I haven't gotten sick once this season and I attribute this to seeing Kitty regularly for acupuncture and taking herbs." ~ Testimonial
When you start to feel 'something coming on' … usually it's past the point where the scallion broth or ginger tea remedies will be most effective in helping you fight off a cold. These remedies work best when you take them as soon as you have an inkling of a 'chill' or 'not feeling quite right.' The more sensitive you are to how you feel, the better able you'll be in stopping a cold or flu before it has time to take root.
Whenever you start to feel sick is a good time to recall where you've been, what you've been doing, and anything else that will help inform you about what might have enabled the illness to get in. This awareness can help you avoid getting sick the next time some pathogen is looking to set up shop inside of you.
Getting Well
Oriental Medicine has four basic components: acupuncture, Chinese medicinal herbs, diet, and Chi Kung exercise. When you're sick Chinese medicinal herbs, minimal acupuncture and dietary suggestions are the primary way back to health; Chi Kung is added back into the treatment process once the pathogen has been dealt with by your immune system and your body is ready to rebuild its energy/Chi.
IMPORTANT: Chinese medicinal herbs can help alleviate symptoms once the bug has taken hold, and help your body rebuild its strength to fight off the pathogen and regain its health. Keep in mind that while it's tempting to try to buy Chinese herbal formulas over the internet, it's not wise to do so because without a prescritpion from a qualified practitioner you could wind up with the wrong formula and make the illness worse.
Whether you use Chinese medicinal herbs or not, the best course of action once you've gotten a cold or flu is to rest-rest-rest. Just go to bed and stay there for a day or two. When our pets get sick, they know they need to conserve energy, so they rest in a warm spot and let their immune system fight the pathogen. That's what we need to do too when we get sick.
"At BIOM, you help me become aware of my body, and what I need to do to maintain it and keep it healthy, and that's not my experience elsewhere." ~ Testimonial
Also, drink plenty of fluids. If you have an appetite, only eat things that are easily digestible— soups, oats, noodles, rice, grains, vegetables, chicken broth are easy on the digestive system; pizza, burgers, ice cream and the like are NOT.
Take it easy: Don't let your thoughts and emotions get the best of you. Ignore the voice in your head when you hear it say things like: "I don't want people to think I'm lazy." "I just have to get this done." "Being sick is for weak people."
Working with an Oriental Medicine Practitioner
If you want to work with an Oriental Medicine practitioner, what they will usually do is have you come in and perform a diagnosis to get a sense of your body's overall health, taking into account your current illness, and then prescribe an appropriate herb formula.
The next step in the healing process is to keep in close contact to see how you're progressing because colds and flu have the ability to change quickly. So the herb formula you start out with most likely will not be the one you end up with at the end of the illness.
Remember: "Health is the first wealth." ~ Emerson

Staying Healthy In Autumn
Seasons change, and your body and mental outlook change with them in predictable ways. Oriental medicine combines knowledge of seasonal characteristics with your unique health situation to balance your energy (chi) to help you adapt and thrive during the cool, crisp months of autumn.
In this episode of 'Seasonal Health Tips,' Kitty talks about how the Metal element of Autumn affects your health, and how to stay healthy during this season of cooler days and longer nights. (To get the most out of what Kitty has to say, open the 5 Element Theory chart in a new window while listening.)
(Length 07:39, Size 8.8 MB)
The Metal Element
Every season is associated with one of the Five Elements, and for autumn, the element is Metal—the energetic force that governs the health and functionality of your Lungs and Large Intestine.
According to Taoist 5 Element Theory, the Lungs are the primary influence affecting the immune system. So during autumn, it's important to eat food that builds the overall health of the Lungs to strengthen your immune system now, and in preparation for winter.
Autumn Health Problems
Because the Lungs are most sensitive during autumn, this is a time to focus on preventing or responding to colds, coughs, sore throat, and the like. And for people already predisposed to lung problems, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and emphysema, autumn is the time to take precautions to minimize your vulnerability as we advance towards winter.
Avoid Drafts and Breezes. Temperatures are dropping, evenings are getting cooler, and in some places breezes are picking up as seasonal winds begin to blow. During this time, you need to be mindful of breezes that make you feel chilly. To avoid getting sick, keep your neck, wrists, and ankles from being exposed to wind and drafts. This is a likely way for an illness to start.
Be Aware of Dryness. During autumn, slowly increasing wind and cold begins to create dryness in the air, which affects your skin and Lungs. The effects of the natural tendency toward dryness in autumn are magnified as you begin to turn on the heat—at home, at work, and in the car—to take the chill out of the air.
Your skin and Lungs don't like dryness, so it's important to drink enough fluids to make sure they don't get dried out.
Eat Less Spicy Food. Because the Lungs are especially sensitive during the autumn months, it's a good idea to minimize the amount of spicy food you eat, to avoid irritating them. As a result, your Lungs will be less vulnerable to pathogens.
Autumn Health Tips
It's important to pay attention to how you feel. As soon as you feel a "cold" coming on, it's time to take preventive action by enjoying one of these nourishing, natural home brews.
Scallion Broth
This simple broth will help you sweat lightly, and is an excellent remedy for preventing and getting rid of colds:
- Take one scallion, and chop it up.
- Boil in water for 5 to 10 minutes. (Keep the lid on the pot to prevent vapor from escaping.)
- Flavor with tamari.
- Sip it slowly, bundle up, then lie down, or go to sleep.
Ginger Tea
If scallion broth doesn't suit your culinary fancy, try ginger tea:
- Put a couple of slices of fresh ginger in one and one-half cups of water.
- Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. (Time it based on how strong you like your ginger tea.)
- Keep the lid on the pot to prevent vapor from escaping.
- Add a little honey and lemon.
- Sip it slowly, bundle up, then lie down, or go to sleep.
Scallion broth is the more effective of the two remedies, but if for some reason it doesn't appeal to you, ginger tea is a good alternative
Balance is Key
Strive to balance your diet so that it includes some vegetables, some fruit, some grain, and a handful of moderately spicy foods.
Get Help If You Need It
If you experience any lung-related, or other symptoms that don't clear up quickly, call BIOM for an appointment to get a prescribed formula of medical herbs to help alleviate your symptoms and address the problem—before it becomes more advanced.

Autumn Equinox: The Yin Deepens
As the days continue to shorten and the nights get longer, remember to slow down to match the deepening of the seasonal energy.
Autumn Equinox is a time of discernible BALANCE in Nature; where in the northern hemisphere the number of hours of daylight and darkness are about equal: then we gently tip into predominant Darkness ... DEEPENING YIN ...
Unlike the Spring Equinox ... when we rise up into the Warmth and luxious growth of Summer (YANG) ... we're now going the other way ... sinking ... into YIN ... Winter ... Cold ... Darkness. Not a darkness of gloom or despondency ... not at all ... we're sinking into the fecundity of YIN.
Understand YIN
To be able to sink ... fluidly and gracefully ... into the Yin ... one must understand one's own Yin, and the Yin of Nature.
Yin needs to be understood so we know how to moderate our 'lifestyles' during the Yin seasons we call Autumn and Winter.
YIN: A Time of Receptivity
In the Yin time of year—from Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice—to be in BALANCE, one must recognize and practice the dynamic of RECEIVING.
Interestingly, at this time of Autumn Equinox, as we ready ourselves to move deeper into YIN ... Emptiness ... we're equally ready to Harvest the bounty of YANG ... Fullness ... that has been growing in our fields and gardens since Spring.
Conserve Your Reserve
Health-WISE, we have just received the bounty of Yang energy we call Summer. Our bodies have been warmed and strengthened, and are now better prepared to combat the microorganisms trying to infect us through our LUNGS in Autumn and Winter.
Like our ancestors, who understood the necessity of storing as much of their harvest as possible, we need to CONSERVE the Energy ... the Chi ... we've cultivated throughout Spring and Summer so that we have an energy RESERVE to receive from as the easy energy of late-Summer wanes and cold and darkness expand.
Appreciating Emptiness
How can Emptiness, the essence of Yin, be appreciated and enjoyed? Emptiness waits, exists, until something fills it. Appreciate Emptiness for the opportunity it provides to be filled. How? Be receptive—ready to receive. Savor your capacity to be FULL-filled.
Don't accept the negative connotation of emptiness. Emptiness is the precondition to being fulfilled. And fulfillment is a reason for being alive.

Europe braces for return of Germany's "Madame Non"
BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel is hardening her stance on additional help for struggling euro zone economies like Greece and Spain as pressure from parliamentary allies and a looming election campaign shrink her room for manoeuvre in Europe.
At the start of the crisis, Merkel was derided by the French as "Madame Non" for refusing to approve quick aid to southern euro zone stragglers and rebuffing demands for sweeping solutions like common euro zone bonds.
Over the last year Merkel has softened that image with concessions and softer rhetoric. But growing unease among conservative lawmakers and the emergence of a new centre-left challenger points to a tougher line again ahead of a federal vote next year.
The announcement last week that Peer Steinbrueck, a combative former finance minister, will lead the opposition Social Democrats' (SPD) bid to unseat the chancellor in 2013 has swung Germany into election mode.
"We expect next year's federal election to start significantly narrowing the scope of political options in the near future," Alex White, an analyst at J.P. Morgan, wrote in a note this week. "We think we are coming towards the end of Germany's period of relative policy activism."
For Europe, this will mean an ultra-cautious approach from Berlin to providing further aid to Greece and Spain, and a go-slow stance on banking supervision.
"There simply isn't a majority in parliament for a third rescue package for Greece," Norbert Barthle, senior lawmaker and budget expert in Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), told Reuters. "We only just agreed a second package, and that isn't close to being exhausted."
Indeed, it looks like Germany's European partners will have to get used to more "nos", "nons" and "neins" from Merkel in the next twelve months as she seeks to consolidate her lead in opinion polls and win over critics in her conservative bloc.
The vote is a full year away, but Merkel, 58, will have to tread carefully against Steinbrueck, a candidate known for his fiery rhetoric and expertise on financial matters.
Until now, one of her biggest advantages had been a docile opposition that nodded through most of her government's euro policies with barely a whimper.
Those days are officially over, even if the SPD remains broadly supportive of Europe's bailouts.
Appeasing critics in her own camp is likely to become a full-time job for the chancellor in the run up to the election.
Many within Merkel's bloc, notably members of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), were troubled by her support for European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's new bond-buying programme for troubled euro zone states over the summer.
That came after a string of compromises this year stirred unease in her coalition - from the decision to give Spain more time to meet deficit reduction targets, to signals that Merkel's government would tolerate higher inflation at home.
There was also her acceptance at a June EU summit in Brussels that Europe's new bailout fund be allowed to funnel aid directly to troubled euro zone banks.
In contrast to last year, the chancellor now talks frequently about the need for "more Europe". And doubts about her commitment to the single currency have faded.
A more delicate political landscape at home explains in part why Berlin is rowing back on the June summit deal - including the pledge to launch a new pan-European banks watchdog by January - and encouraging Spain to hold off on requesting aid.
One of the biggest challenges, for both Merkel and the wider bloc, will be Greece, the nation where the crisis first erupted.
Merkel's government has come full circle on Greece. After openly flirting with the idea of a Greek exit from the euro zone during the first half of 2012, her aides now say this would be disastrous and should be avoided at all costs.
But three years and two bailouts later, Greece's debt is still not on a sustainable path, and it is difficult to imagine its "troika" of international lenders skirting the need for additional relief in a new report, due next month at the latest.
Yet Merkel's allies in the Bundestag lower house have made clear they have been pushed to the limit of what they are willing to do for Athens.
Merkel's preferred option - bundling more aid together with bailouts for Spain and Cyprus in one final pre-election package - carries big risks.
It is predicated on hope that all three of these deals can be agreed simultaneously, a dangerous assumption in a bloc where any one of 17 nations can hijack, delay or torpedo a rescue.
It would also put Merkel in the precarious position of relying on the opposition again, as a clear conservative parliamentary majority would by no means be guaranteed.
Merkel faces other challenges that will severely shrink her room for manoeuvre in the months ahead. Legal challenges to the ECB bond buying scheme are likely. And the German economy poses a growing threat, with unemployment creeping higher and recession possible in the second half of this year.
Despite a strong economic performance throughout the crisis, the gap between rich and poor in Germany has risen on Merkel's watch and polls show many voters are unhappy that banks have not been asked to pay a higher price for their role in the turmoil.
This is where Steinbrueck, who unveiled plans last week to crack down on the financial industry, will be looking to score big points against his former boss Merkel.
White of J.P. Morgan believes a more polarised political landscape will heighten Merkel's aversion to risk-taking and have a "chilling effect" on decision-making in Berlin. This will spell caution on new aid packages and put the brakes on plans for a new European banking supervisory body for two reasons.
First, Germany is interested in a sustainable, long-term solution on bank oversight that does not overload the ECB with new watchdog responsibilities in the short-term.
Second, Merkel remains sceptical about direct European aid for struggling banks and wants to avoid a discussion about the next stage of Europe's "banking union" - a pan-European deposit guarantee scheme.
Where does that leave Merkel and Europe? The answer - even more dependent on ECB President Draghi to bridge the yawning policy gap that looms in the run-up to next year's German election.

Most soundtracks are nothing more than an attempt to squeeze even more cash out of you than the $97 (approximately) you spent to see the movie, but every so often a soundtrack comes along that's a must listen album in its own right: The Hunger Games Soundtrack is one of those rare albums. Boasting some of indie rocks most acclaimed groups, now that Kid Cudi's officially launched his indie rock career with new album WZRD it's only fitting that his new song The Killer & The Ruler are included alongside the likes of like Arcade Fire and The Decemberists. Killer & Ruler easily sounds like it could have been a WZRD bonus track, although here Cudi mans the production tip himself, crafting an even darker and more distorted guitar heavy instrumental than usual. As for his vocals, they're delivered in his trademark slurred/mumbled/rapped/sung style, setting an appropriately "the hunter and the hunted mood". While I can't vouch for The Hunger Games movie (out this Friday, March 17), fans of dark rock like Killer & Ruler should find plenty more to love on the Hunger Games Soundtrack, due to drop on March 20.
