A failing country music diva and small-town punk rocker are polar opposites in every way. But when they're forced to collaborate to save their struggling careers, their chemistry is obvious to everyone...except them. Having country superstars for parents has its downsides. For as long as she can remember, Kaylee Phelan has known that she will follow in their footsteps, but then her debut album flops. With a capital 'F'. Now on thin ice with the record label, the executives will only let her come out with new music if Kaylee agrees to take a pop/alternative direction for her next album. But for a through-and-through country girl, this is a tough pill to swallow. Dakota Rhodes needs to catch a break. After getting kicked out of his band and discovering his mother has cancer, Dakota's drinking habit and writer's block are spiraling out of control.

Kaylee wants nothing to do with a songwriting partnership, least of all with Dakota. As the two musicians struggle to pick their careers up off the ground, make music on their terms and navigate each other in forced proximity, sparks are sure to fly. But will they ignite something that neither Kaylee nor Dakota saw coming? SCROLL UP AND GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen that continues to be a major cause of disease around the world. It is not only the number one cause of bacterial pneumonia but also the cause of about 15% of the deaths of children under 5 around the world. There is a lot of research done on this organism, but with around 100 known serotypes and each one producing a unique capsule, there is still much more to be studied. The Etiology of Pneumonia in the Community (EPIC) study conducted by the CDC observed the burden of hospitalizations caused by pneumonia while determining the organism responsible. One of the most common organisms isolated from both children and adult patients was S. pneumoniae. To look further into these clinical isolates, we chose three different type 3 pneumococcal isolates and observed the immune cellular dynamics as well as capsule production, and saw that even with the same serotype immune responses can differ.

Smoking of food is one of the oldest methods of food preservation and still is used widely to help preserve foods such as meats, fish and cheeses. Apart from its conservation function, the smoking process also has a considerable influence on the sensory characteristics of the products. A highly trained, skilled descriptive sensory panel identified, defined and referenced 14 attributes related to the flavor of food products labeled as smoked or smoky. The lexicon included: Smoky (Overall), Ashy, Woody, Musty/Dusty, Musty/Earthy, Burnt, Acrid, Pungent, Petroleum-Like, Creosote/Tar, Cedar, Bitter, Metallic and Sour. Definitions of these attributes were written and references were found that anchor a 0-15 point scale. This lexicon was used to evaluate the differences among smoked products under different circumstances such as products on the market versus products smoked at home, different woods used to smoke products and the length of time a product spends in the smoker. There are many methods used to impart this smoky flavor and due to health, environmental and economic concerns, many producers use nontraditional methods while hobbyists thrive on the traditional methods. Descriptive analysis was used to see if there are differences between products smoked using an at-home smoker and market products. Using principal component analysis, cluster analysis and analysis of variance, it was found that market products were significantly different than products smoked using an at home smoker. The market products were significantly more Sour and less Smoky, Ashy, Woody, Musty/Dusty and Acrid. Many types of woods are used to smoke products and many market products distinguish themselves based on the wood used. Six highly trained panelists evaluated pork that was smoked with either hickory, mesquite, cherrywood or Applewood and was smoked for 1, 2 or 4 hours. The flavor profiles of the smoke flavor was similar between the types of woods although as the length of time in the smoker increased and the intensities of most attributes rose, the differences among products smoked with different woods became more pronounced. Apple wood smoked products had higher intensities for Overall Smoky, Ashy, Burnt, Pungent, Petroleum-Like, Creosote/Tar and Cedar, while cherry wood smoked products had lower intensities for all attributes. Hickory and Mesquite smoked products were not significantly different from each other and typically scored between the other two woods. Smoking is a slow process and many popular restaurants that smoke their own products find that their claims of smoking for long periods of time are beneficial to their image. Descriptive analysis was used to see how the flavor changes based on the length of time the product (pork) was in the smoker. The samples of pork ranged from not smoked to smoked for 15 hours, with samples at every 2.5 hour increment. For most attributes, the intensities went up with the amount of time the product was in the smoker. The only exceptions were Musty/Earthy and Sour. The regression analysis revealed that Smoky, Ashy, Acrid, Creosote/Tar and Bitter are all at least moderately correlated with the time the product spent in the smoker.

This study used a mixed methods approach to examine children's racial, ethnic, and national identification in middle childhood, as well as teacher's socialization practices across two program structures. Participants were racially and ethnically diverse and included 64 3rd grade students and their 8 teachers. Children identified with a variety of racial, ethnic, and national labels - most often selecting American to describe themselves, and frequently referenced family heritage, birthplace, and cultural practices and language to explain their identification as well as other sources (e.g., food, books, and conversations with parents) that informed their identification. Teachers reported using read alouds and incorporating multiple perspectives as strategies for talking about race, ethnicity, and nationality in their classrooms. Further, results suggest more in-depth conversations and lessons about race and ethnicity in the dual language immersion classroom. Thus, middle childhood is an essential time for racial, ethnic, and national identity formation, and teachers are important socialization agents.
