The Work of the People as Public Work: The Social Significance of the Liturgy

(excerpt) I was once asked to address the topic of the \u27social meaning of the liturgy.\u27 The first thing I told my audience was \u27If I tell you what the social meaning of the liturgy is, you have to promise me you won‟t stop going to church.\u27 What I mean is that there is a problem with trying to distill the liturgy down to a \u27meaning.\u27 It is a problem that sometimes bedevils efforts to connect the liturgy to ethics or social justice

Mass Shootings, Mass Media, and Mass Opinion: An Examination of How the News Media Affects Public Opinion in the Aftermath of Mass Shootings

This research looks at how newspaper mentions of mass shootings correlate with the percentage of people in the U.S. who view gun control as the most important issue facing the country. While the agenda-setting effect of the news media has been theorized and demonstrated for a number of different issues, scholars have yet to consider how the news media may set the agenda for the public’s view on the importance of gun control through its coverage of mass shootings. Utilizing designs put forth by Smidt (2011), Tan and Weaver (2007), and Winter and Eyal (1984), this paper seeks to fill that gap by showing the importance of news media discourse surrounding mass shootings on public opinion formation. While the results do not show a definite causal pattern between higher news media mentions of a mass shooting and a higher percentage of people who think gun control is important, this study does demonstrate that there is an important relationship between news media discourse and public opinion

Reconstructing Jets and Missing Transverse Energy using the CMS Detector

In 2007, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will circulate and collide proton-proton beams for the first time. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of four experiments at the LHC and is entering the final phases of construction and initial phases of commissioning. This report discusses the expected performance of reconstructing jets and missing transverse energy using the CMS Detector. In addition, strategies for calibrating the energy scale using real data are presented
