Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

  • Design and Operation of Work Zone Strategies to Improve Large Truck Safety
    LargeTruck_Guidance_FRONT COVER.ai 1 8/2/2016 2:10:29 PM Design and Operation of Work Zone Strategies to Improve Large Truck Safety July 2016 Work Zone Safety Consortium This material is based upon work supported by the Federal Highway Administration Grant Agreement DTFH61-II-H-00029 Preface Work zones can create special challenges for drivers of large vehicles, such as commercial motor vehicles, due to space restrictions. Road work must take place within highway rights­of­way and, often, within reduced numbers of lanes. Under­ standing how work zones can be designed to maintain the efficient movement of large freight transportation vehicles within the restricted right­of­way space and to ensure that DOT and public works staff and highway contractors’ employees can safely work within work zones can provide significant benefits for all work zone users. The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the American Trucking Association (ATA), State Departments of Transportation, local and State law enforcement agencies, academic researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and others have worked to develop approaches to reduce the numbers of work zone crashes involving large trucks. This document on design and operation of work zones is a product of this ongoing effort. Objectives This document summarizes available methods for transportation agencies and road contractors to design and operate work zones to reduce the risk of large truck crashes. In this document, large trucks include vehicles commonly referred to as commercial motor vehicles, semi­tractor trailers, 18­wheelers, or semis as well as single­unit trucks larger than 10,000 lbs gross vehicle weight.
