Parker : to get away clean, you have to play dirty
Parker is a thief who has an unusual code. He doesn't steal from the poor or hurt innocent people. He is asked to join four other guys, one of whom is related to a known mobster. They pull off the job flawlessly and Parker wants to part ways with them. When he refuses to join them for another job, they try to kill him. They dispose of his body, but someone finds him ... still alive. After recovering, he sets out to get back at the ones who tried to kill him, another one of his codes.

ACG Clinical Guideline: Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is historically defined as an irreversible inflammatory condition of the pancreas leading to varying degrees of exocrine and endocrine dysfunction. Recently however, the paradigm for the diagnosis has changed in that it breaks with the traditional clinicopathologic-based definition of disease, focusing instead on diagnosing the underlying pathologic process early in the disease course and managing the syndrome more holistically to change the natural course of disease and minimize adverse disease effects. Currently, the most accepted mechanistically derived definition of CP is a pathologic fibroinflammatory syndrome of the pancreas in individuals with genetic, environmental, and/or other risk factors who develop persistent pathologic responses to parenchymal injury or stress. The most common symptom of CP is abdominal pain, with other symptoms such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and diabetes developing at highly variable rates. CP is most commonly caused by toxins such as alcohol or tobacco use, genetic polymorphisms, and recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis, although no history of acute pancreatitis is seen in many patients. Diagnosis is made usually on cross-sectional imaging, with modalities such as endoscopic ultrasonography and pancreatic function tests playing a secondary role. Total pancreatectomy represents the only known cure for CP, although difficulty in patient selection and the complications inherent to this intervention make it usually an unattractive option. This guideline will provide an evidence-based practical approach to the diagnosis and management of CP for the general gastroenterologist.

Good practice for conducting and reporting MEG research
Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings are a rich source of information about the neural dynamics underlying cognitive processes in the brain, with excellent temporal and good spatial resolution. In recent years there have been considerable advances in MEG hardware developments and methods. Sophisticated analysis techniques are now routinely applied and continuously improved, leading to fascinating insights into the intricate dynamics of neural processes. However, the rapidly increasing level of complexity of the different steps in a MEG study make it difficult for novices, and sometimes even for experts, to stay aware of possible limitations and caveats. Furthermore, the complexity of MEG data acquisition and data analysis requires special attention when describing MEG studies in publications, in order to facilitate interpretation and reproduction of the results. This manuscript aims at making recommendations for a number of important data acquisition and data analysis steps and suggests details that should be specified in manuscripts reporting MEG studies. These recommendations will hopefully serve as guidelines that help to strengthen the position of the MEG research community within the field of neuroscience, and may foster discussion in order to further enhance the quality and impact of MEG research.

Corrosion Properties of Powder Bed Fusion Additively Manufactured 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
The corrosion susceptibility of a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additively manufactured alloy, UNS S17400 (17-4 PH), was explored compared to conventional wrought material. Microstructural characteristics were characterized and related to corrosion behavior in quiescent, aqueous 0.6 M NaCl solutions. Electrochemical measurements demonstrated that the LPBF 17-4 PH alloy exhibited a reduced passivity range and active corrosion compared to its conventional wrought counterpart. A microelectrochemical cell was used to further understand the effects of the local scale and attributed the reduced corrosion resistance of the LPBF material to pores with diameters ≥50 μm.

The Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) data repository: Structural and functional MRI, MEG, and cognitive data from a cross-sectional adult lifespan sample
This paper describes the data repository for the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) initial study cohort. The Cam-CAN Stage 2 repository contains multi-modal (MRI, MEG, and cognitive-behavioural) data from a large (approximately N=700), cross-sectional adult lifespan (18–87years old) population-based sample. The study is designed to characterise age-related changes in cognition and brain structure and function, and to uncover the neurocognitive mechanisms that support healthy cognitive ageing. The database contains raw and preprocessed structural MRI, functional MRI (active tasks and resting state), and MEG data (active tasks and resting state), as well as derived scores from cognitive behavioural experiments spanning five broad domains (attention, emotion, action, language, and memory), and demographic and neuropsychological data. The dataset thus provides a depth of neurocognitive phenotyping that is currently unparalleled, enabling integrative analyses of age-related changes in brain structure, brain function, and cognition, and providing a testbed for novel analyses of multi-modal neuroimaging data.

Hello, I'm 1930s America, and I Have a Recovery Problem: A Review of George Selgin's \False Dawn\
George Selgin’s False Dawn: The New Deal and the Promise of Recovery, 1933–1947revisits the debate over the effectiveness of the New Deal. While Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s policies promised “three R’s”—relief, recovery, and reform—False Dawn zeros in on the middle one. The NBER’s official business cycle dating notes that the economy entered an expansion phase right after FDR assumed office and, aside from a yearlong downturn that began in 1937, it continued expanding until October of 1945. Still, the post-1933 recovery was anything but steady. Data on manufacturing production and general business activity suggest an economic rollercoaster with several starts and stops. In fact, when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, most economic measures stood level with where they had been six years earlier. Selgin’s treatment of this era is impressively engaging, fair-minded, and comprehensive. While a few New Deal policies—particularly the spring 1933 financial reforms—worked toward recovery, many others prolonged the economic hardship. Only after the Second World War did the economy finally move past the Great Contraction and into a lasting recovery.

The Multiple Dimensions of Transfer: Examining the Transfer Function in American Higher Education
Purpose: This article examines the literature on the transfer function in American higher education, and it reviews three primary dimensions of transfer: (a) the transfer function and pathways, (b) transfer access and experiences, and (c) state transfer policy. Argument: This literature review engages core transfer concepts and we argue that the literature is dominated by the vertical transfer pathway, despite multiple transfer pathways and definitions. The research also suggests that students’ transfer experiences and outcomes are not equal, institutional cultures and policies are not designed to support diverse students, and the inadequate transfer structures and policies need to be reformed to improve transfer outcomes for students of color, low-income students, and first-generation students. Finally, we argue that the nature and distribution of state transfer policies is uneven and the impact of state transfer policies on student outcomes is mixed, so we know little about their efficacy. Conclusion: We conclude the article with a set of priorities for future transfer research that address gaps and limitations of the existing literature.

Reading direct speech quotes increases theta phase-locking: Evidence for cortical tracking of inner speech?
Growing evidence shows that theta-band (4–7 Hz) activity in the auditory cortex phase-locks to rhythms of overt speech. Does theta activity also encode the rhythmic dynamics of inner speech? Previous research established that silent reading of direct speech quotes (e.g., Mary said: “This dress is lovely!”) elicits more vivid inner speech than indirect speech quotes (e.g., Mary said that the dress was lovely). As we cannot directly track the phase alignment between theta activity and inner speech over time, we used EEG to measure the brain's phase-locked responses to the onset of speech quote reading. We found that direct (vs. indirect) quote reading was associated with increased theta phase synchrony over trials at 250–500 ms post-reading onset, with sources of the evoked activity estimated in the speech processing network. An eye-tracking control experiment confirmed that increased theta phase synchrony in direct quote reading was not driven by eye movement patterns, and more likely reflects synchronous phase resetting at the onset of inner speech. These findings suggest a functional role of theta phase modulation in reading-induced inner speech.

Spatial and temporal patterns of benthic nutrient cycling define the extensive role of internal loading in an agriculturally influenced oxbow lake
Benthic habitats in shallow oxbow lakes may serve as permanent nitrogen (N) sinks by facilitating denitrification. Oxbow sediments may also accumulate nutrients through uptake, deposition and heterotrophic N₂ fixation, and ultimately provide a significant internal source of N and phosphorus (P) through sediment release to the water column. To better understand nutrient source-sink dynamics in oxbow lakes, we explored seasonal and habitat specific patterns in sediment dissolved dinitrogen gas (N₂-N) and nutrient flux within an oxbow in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Time series models indicate a higher probability of positive N₂-N fluxes in fall through spring, significant negative summer fluxes, and clear differences among habitats with net annual N₂-N fluxes, ranging from - 2.34 g m⁻² Y⁻¹ in open water habitat to 0.26 g m⁻² Y⁻¹ in shoreline areas. Integrated lake-wide N₂-N sediment flux estimates were negative indicating the significant role of net N₂ fixation. More complex models explained similar amounts of variation (Adj. R² = 0.57 vs. 0.45) and indicated that benthic N₂-N fluxes were associated with changes in temperature, dissolved inorganic N, sediment oxygen demand, and sediment carbon: N ratios. Ammonium and P flux from sediments were substantial across all habitats and internal N regeneration far outpaced removal from the system by sediment N₂-N flux. Results indicate that nutrient release from sediments generate internal nutrient loads proportional to external loading from the watershed. Our results highlight the significant potential for internal nutrient loading and benthic N₂ fixation within sediments to regulate biogeochemical processes within understudied oxbow lake ecosystems.
