Gestalt Psychology in German Culture, 1890–1967: Holism and the Quest for Objectivity . By Mitchell G. Ash. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1998. Pp. xii + 513. $24.95. Paper. ISBN 0–521–64627–8.

Abstract: norms of behavior, especially etiquette, were fostered as emancipatory goals to overcome \"remnants of'Jacobin' crudity\" (p. 497), including workers' culture. Similarly, Hanna Schissler demonstrates that the SPD failed with the West German female electorate, during what might be called \"the hour of an 'excess' of women,\" because the party refused to adjust its policies and practices. Old forms (family wage) and values (domesticity) survived via proletarian antifeminism and the SPD's inability to speak to women directly, despite attaining an equal rights clause in the Basic Law and an increasing number of women working. Though containing few parameter-shaking analyses, this collection illustrates well that both the Socialists and Communists altered their approaches and many compromised earlier ideals. The common thread that runs through the collection is not only the emergence of Socialists and Communists from a proletarian milieu, but the moving away from that milieu. The repeated abandonment of positions which reflected the interests of the mass of workers—male and female—seems to end logically with the demise of communism and \"labor\" parties being like other parties. Do the sympathies with the historical Left, which these essays reflect in the emphasis upon dilemmas and difficult situations, underscore that German Socialists and Communists participated in a long history in which they were not the prime agents, but primarily served to keep important ideals alive?

Video Killed the Writing Assignment.

Abstract: We move pretty fast in the introductory astronomy class at Albion College (Albion, MI)—13.7 billion years of astronomy in about 15 weeks (one semester). Thus, it is virtually impossible to talk about all of the really interesting things that are happening in our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe, or about the really cool people and instruments that make our observations possible. This may or may not be a problem because students take this course for different reasons—to satisfy a graduation requirement, because it fits in their schedule, and/or because they are interested in astronomy in general.

Information game of public firewall rules

Abstract: Firewalls are among the most important components in network security. Traditionally, the rules of the firewall are kept private under the assumption that privacy of the ruleset makes attacks on the network more difficult. We posit that this assumption is no longer valid in the Internet of today due to two factors: the emergence of botnets reducing probing difficulty and second, the emergence of distributed applications where private rules increase the difficulty of troubleshooting. We argue that the enforcement of the policy is the key, not the secrecy of the policy itself. In this paper, we demonstrate through the application of game theory that public firewall rules when coupled with false information (lying) are not only viable but actually better.
