Conan is cracking us up, per usual. Sesame Street's future is in question. Is Nicole Kidman wearing a wig? Plus, the Diddy trial is continuing, and we aren't enjoying it. Kurt Cobain started in a CCR cover band, mosquitoes play favorites, and it's hard to imagine a time before the t-shirt. Would you sleep in a bed off the edge of a cliff?

Cine e parte a Sistemului care mizează pe Simion & Georgescu (DW) - Cum a fost sădită ura. Începuturi (HotNews) - Economia lui Nicușor Dan vs economia lui George Simion. Ce ne așteaptă după alegeri (Libertatea) Apără România! (Republica)România se află în poarta istoriei, în fața unui val, scrie jurnalistul Alex Livadaru, cofondator Republica.Dezinformare, extremism, izolaționism – toate acestea își fac loc în discursul public, uneori cu hainele seducătoare ale salvării. Iar românii au de ales: cedează sau apără. Se retrag sau votează.Pe 18 mai România are ocazia de a trimite la Palatul Cotroceni nu neapărat un președinte, cât un semnal cu valoare de simbol. Putem arăta că nu confundăm forța faptelor cu zgomotul. Că - în locul celor care promit cu voce tare nimicul ambalat în cuvinte vagi, dar aparent mari - alegem un om care a dovedit în tăcere: dublu medaliat cu aur la Olimpiada Internațională de Matematică, o minte formată în rigoarea științei și responsabilitatea meritului. Un om cu doctorat în Matematică făcut la Sorbona.Nu putem fi condamnați la frică și nici la imitarea celor care se închid între granițe mentale și fizice, intimidați de cei care țipă mai tare.Dar putem alege deschiderea, competența, discernământul. Putem arăta că patriotismul nu se strigă cu lozinci „noi contra lor”, ci se poate traduce prin „împreună, pentru mâine, pentru copiii noștri”.Cine e parte a Sistemului care mizează pe Simion & Georgescu (DW)Pentru a doua oară un judecător dă o decizie în favoarea „turului doi înapoi”, semnalând astfel că în Justiție există o grupare gata să încalce legea pentru a juca în favoarea lui Simion, notează Sabina Fati.Soluția judecătorului e ilegală, fiindcă hotărârile CCR nu sunt acte administrative şi, prin urmare, nu pot fi atacate în contencios administrativ, anulate sau suspendate.Până acum, pe rolul instanțelor din România au fost înregistrate peste 200 de cereri de desființare a deciziei Curții Constituționale privind anularea alegerilor prezidențiale, reamintește jurnalista DW.Hotărârile justiției sunt la suprafață, pot fi văzute, iar semnalele pe care le dau pot fi înțelese. Grupările din zona magistraților care sunt de partea cuplului Simion & Georgescu pot fi localizate și cartografiate, potrivit unor surse DW. În schimb, facțiunile din serviciile secrete sau din Armată și Poliție care-i împing în față pe acești radicali cu susținere la Moscova sunt mai greu de depistat. Totuși, înainte de 24 noiembrie 2024, ziua în care Călin Georgescu a câștigat primul tur al prezidențialelor fără să fi făcut măcar o zi de campanie electorală în spațiul real, nici SRI, nici SIE, nici vreo altă instituție care se ocupă cu siguranța națională nu a dat vreun avertisment și nu a vorbit despre vreun pericol care să vină dinspre extremismul cu rădăcini atât în legionarismul interbelic cât și în preferințele Moscovei. Practic, Rusia avea un candidat gata să ajungă la Cotroceni, dar serviciile românești nu și-au dat seama?Sunt oameni din Sistem (justiție, servicii, poliție, armată) care pot influența politicile și azimutul țării, uneori în bine, alteori în rău și nu de puține ori în propriile interese. În toate situațiile, puterea lor e dăunătoare pentru democrație și nimeni nu pare să poată să o oprească.  Cum a fost sădită ura. Începuturi (HotNews)Jurnalista Claudia Pîrvoiu a intrat pe grupurile de Telegram, a urmărit live-uri pe TikTok, un fel de dezbateri între compatrioții care se denumesc „patrioți”, „suveraniști” și „români adevărați”, organizate în fiecare noapte.  A descoperit discuții, dar și multă ură, care, pentru a fi menținută vie, este alimentată zilnic prin mesaje care îndeamnă la revoltă sau chiar violență.Această mișcare menită să aducă marea schimbare în România este foarte bine organizată și a fost creată în timp, avându-și rădăcinile dinainte de 2020. Semnale legate de nașterea unei forțe uriașe așa-zis suveraniste au existat, însă au fost ignorate de societatea civilă, politicieni, autorități, presă. Deși au existat și excepții, ziariști care au urmărit subiectul și l-au oferit oamenilor...Integral pe pagina HotNews.Economia lui Nicușor Dan vs economia lui George Simion. Ce ne așteaptă după alegeri (Libertatea)Analistul financiar Cristian Tudorescu a calculat care sunt scenariile economice care ne așteaptă după alegeri, în funcție de câștigătorul acestora.În cazul în care independentul Nicușor Dan va fi ales drept președinte al României cursul va rămâne aproximativ egal cu cel actual, dobânzile revin la nivelurile de acum câteva săptămâni, iar pentru echilibrarea bugetului va fi realizată o creștere mică de taxe, caz în care nivelul de trai va scădea cu 2-3% față de cel actual, a scris acesta pe Facebook. În schimb, în cazul în care va câștiga extremistul George Simion, atunci cursul se va deprecia în câteva săptămâni la 5,5 lei pentru un euro, dobânzile la care se împrumută statul vor deveni nesustenabile, fondurile europene de 13 miliarde de euro din Planul Național de Redresare și Reziliență (PNRR) vor rămâne blocate, iar în următoarele șase luni vor exista „creșteri semnficative de taxe”. În schimb, nivelul de trai ar urma să scadă cu 10-15%, mai arată Tudorescu, citat de Libertatea.

Episode 189: One Of The Main Musical Topics Of The 60s: Protest! May 6, 2025 One nonviolent way to show one's displeasure/disgust/disagreement is to protest. In a letter to the editor, written in a blog, by contacting your lawmakers, taking it to the streets and there are many other ways. Pete Seeger was known for his songs protesting mistreatment of workers and war itself, and over time there has been a great abundance of songs and actions of protest. Marvin Gaye, CCR, Nina Simone, Dylan, Lennon and many others wrote and performed their protest songs from What's Goin' on?, Blowin' in the Wind to Fortunate Son, Give Peace a chance and Strange Fruit. In the future you'll hear an episode of Tales Vinyl Tells dedicated to protest songs. Please send your ideas to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com and yours may well be included. And when you email me, please be sure to let me know who and where you are. I mention protest songs because we kick off with a real kicker from Quicksilver Messenger Service and include Petty, Joni, Cheech, Chong, Nick and more. Thanks for listening. I want to say thank you to all the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells.

Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 (G4Media) - Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă) - Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne) - Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (ZF) Cazul de studiu Bolojan, despre autoamăgire și alegeri (SpotMedia)Cazul Bolojan, ieri înger, azi demon pentru o parte a electoratului care nu îi iartă exprimarea opțiunii de vot și demolarea argumentată a iluziei că va deveni premierul minune, poate fi, atunci când ne vom mai răcori după alegeri, unul de studiu despre capacitatea de autoamăgire, despre dublă măsură și slaba cunoaștere a mecanismelor politice constituționale, scrie jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.Președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan și-a exprimat opțiunea de vot pentru un candidat. Candidatul pe care l-a propus oficial coaliției de guvernare, candidatul al cărui nume apare în protocolul de funcționare a coaliției formată după alegeri semnat de președintele PNL Ilie Bolojan.Susținătorii acum dezamăgiți ai domniei sale erau convinși că dl Bolojan a mințit când a semnat. Asta așteptau de la el, să mintă, să semnalizeze dreapta și să o ia la stânga, să fie că restul oamenilor politici, dar într-un interes convenabil.Avea dreptul să facă declarații de susținere a unui candidat? Da, a stabilit CCR în 2014, când Traian Băsescu îi făcea campanie Elenei Udrea. Cel care l-a reclamat, într-un conflict de natură constituțională, a fost premierul de atunci Victor Ponta.De fapt, obiecția dezamăgiților nu este de natură constituțională, ci exclusiv de conținut al opțiunii anunțate. Integral, pe pagina SpotMedia.Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 / Milioane de lei pe filierele Nuba și Mihaela Neagu ”regina licitațiilor”/ Patronii FCSB și CFR Cluj / Fiul adoptiv al unui interlop din Vâlcea, cununat de Ponta / Un maseur care, întrebat de unde a avut banii, a spus: ”Din masaje erotice”   (G4Media)Surprize mari pe lista persoanelor fizice și juridice care au finanțat PSD în 2024, an cu patru rânduri de alegeri – locale, europarlamentare, parlamentare și prezidențiale. Lista a fost publicată în Monitorul Oficial, anunță G4Media.Printre cei care au donat sau au împrumutat sume consistente social-democraților se află patronii echipelor de fotbal FCSB și CFR Cluj, un maseur care a justificat de unde a avut cei 650.000 de lei prin faptul că face masaje erotice, mai mulți oameni de afaceri controversați, unul fiind implicat în dosarul penal al fostului șef SRI, Florian Coldea, unul dintre patronii Clubului Nuba și apropiați ai săi sau un fin al lui Victor Ponta, care este fiul adoptiv al unui fost lider al lumii interlope din Vâlcea.De menționat că toți cei care au împrumutat PSD – iar sumele nu sunt deloc mici, variind între câteva sute de mii și milioane de lei – au făcut un  serviciu acestui partid: banii le-au fost returnați din bugetul de stat deoarece social-democrații au atins un anumit procent de voturi; în mare parte, PSD și-a făcut cele patru campanii electorale ”pe datorie”, dar fără a plăti dobândă pentru zecile de milioane de lei împrumutate.În plus, partidul condus de Marcel Ciolacu nu a fost nevoit să apeleze la sumele pe care le-a primit, în mod tradițional, de la bugetul de stat pentru servicii de propagandă.Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă)Pentru prima dată de la Mineriada din 1991, alegerile prezidențiale din decembrie 2024 au ridicat problema fragilității ordinii constituționale. Anchetele judiciare de după anularea alegerilor au devoalat un păienjeniș de rețele – cu multe legături în armată – care vor schimbarea democrației.„Este mult spus armată paralelă”, afirmă istoricul Cosmin Popa, specialist în istoria perioadei comuniste și în spațiul ex-sovietic.„Nu suntem într-un scenariu de tip America Latină, nu e vorba de lovituri de stat. Dar da, avem o problemă de fond. În România nu există un consens solid în jurul valorilor democratice și asta se vede și în armată”, adaugă el.„O parte semnificativă a corpului militar în retragere – și, uneori, chiar și în activitate – nu este pe deplin fidelă valorilor constituționale. Când un fost ofițer spune că «politicienii trădează țara», că «UE ne-a colonizat», că «trebuie să salvăm țara din interior», acelea nu sunt simple opinii, sunt formule retorice care pot alimenta forme de radicalizare”, mai explică Popa pentru Europa Liberă.Istoricul e de părere că foștii militari care apar în aceste grupuri sau în spațiul public cu discursuri radicale sunt oameni care simt că au fost nedreptățiți, că nu li s-a recunoscut contribuția sau că au fost marginalizați. El e de părere că toate ideile vehiculate în afara cadrului militar oficial își găsesc ecou în mulți dintre cei care poartă haina militară.Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne)În timpul documentării despre Unitatea 731, grupare neonazistă care acționează în România și Republica Moldova, PressOne descoperă un schimb de replici între membrii organizației și Vlad Petre, un tânăr din AUR Sector 5.La jumătatea lunii februarie, Petre este adăugat într-un grup privat al Unității și propune o colaborare între membrii săi din București și organizația de tineret a partidului AUR.Propunerea primește reacții mixte: câțiva neonaziști o văd ca pe o oportunitate de mascare a acțiunilor violente întreprinse de Unitate, alții o resping pentru că, susțin ei, George Simion e prea prietenos cu romii și evreii. Vlad Petre spune că a fost dat afară din partid încă de acum câteva săptămâni. Șeful tineretului din Sectorul 5 susține că băiatul n-a fost niciodată membru al partidului. Ulterior, președintele organizației de tineret, Răzvan Biro, avea să ne comunice că Petre a fost dat afară „în perspectiva informațiilor prezentate” de PressOne. Nu e cazul să daţi foc la valiză, când valiza este plină cu bani: Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (Ziarul Financiar)Toţi antreprenorii, toţi directorii, toate companiile, că sunt româneşti, multinaţionale sau că sunt de stat, vor să se termine odată cu alegerile politice – alegerile prezidenţiale şi cu situaţia neclară în privinţa taxelor şi impozitelor – dacă cresc, ce creşte şi cu cât, scrie în ziarul de business jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc.Incertitudinea politică va plana în continuare, pentru că rezultatul alegerilor prezidenţiale este în ceaţă. Dacă la Cotroceni va veni George Simion sau Victor Ponta, vor forţa o nouă alianţă politică şi un nou guvern, asta dacă pot face acest lucru. Dacă la Cotroceni vine Crin Antonescu sau Nicuşor Dan, alianţa actuală PSD/PNL/UDMR şi guvernul Ciolacu 2 au o şansă să continue. Economia şi-a încetinit creşterea, iar execuţia bugetară la trei luni a guvernului Ciolacu 2 nu arată atât de strălucit în îndeplinirea obiectivului de reducere a deficitului bugetar de la peste 9% anul trecut (ESA) la 7%. Dar situaţia bugetară nu este dezastruoasă, mai ales că Ministerul Finanţelor a reuşit să acopere peste 30% din necesarul de finanţare bugetară pentru acest an. România plăteşte dobânzi mai mari, dar pieţele financiare nu sunt închise pentru obţinerea acestor împrumuturi. Pe larg, în ZF.

Decizia judecătorului din Ploiești de anulare a hotărârii CCR privind alegerile a fost desființată de Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție. Decizia Instanței Supreme și este definitivă. Înalta Curte a admis astfel recursurile formulate de Parchetul Curții de Apel Ploiești și de CCR împotriva deciziei judecătorului de la Curtea de Apel Ploiești. Val de cereri de anulare a deciziei CCRPeste 130 de cereri privind anularea sau suspendarea deciziei Curții Constituționale a României de anulare a alegerilor prezidențiale din 6 decembrie 2024 s-au înregistrat la curțile de apel în perioada 8-17 aprilie. Nou pachet de sprijin pentru Chișinău: 60 de mil de euroUniunea Europeană va oferi un nou pachet de sprijin Republica Moldova în valoare de 60 milioane  de euro pentru consolidarea rezilienței la amenințările externe. Anunțul a fost făcut de vicepreședinta Comisiei Europene, Kaja Kallas, aflată într-o vizită la Chișinău.

In this episode of Citizens Climate Radio, Elise Silvestri explores how art can strengthen climate advocacy with Carrie Ziegler, an interdisciplinary Artist, Speaker, and Community Engagement Expert. Carrie talks about her process for creating and executing the Chrysalis Project: Transforming Together, an art and climate policy project that enacted powerful change over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the participating students, Brisa Sabel, shares her experience of the successful campaign and the  joy and inspiration it gave her.  Peterson Toscano has a surprisingly good news story: like our responses to climate change, the format of CCR is adapting! [insert finalized details here] Listen to Carrie Ziegler discuss the power of art storytelling in making meaningful, local climate policy. Guest Bio: Carrie Ziegler Carrie Ziegler harnesses the collective power of art to drive social and environmental transformation. Through her Art in Action initiatives, she collaborates with diverse entities—local governments, organizations, schools, and universities—to create multi-dimensional works that blend participant creativity with pressing societal issues. These projects inspire active engagement, bringing communities together to create lasting change. Along with the Chrysalis Project, Carrie also led the Plastic Whale Project, where students created a life-sized whale out of plastic bags. The whale played a pivotal role in successfully passing a ban on single-use plastic bags in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Thurston County, Washington.   Based in Olympia, Washington, Carrie is recognized internationally, bringing her impactful vision to global forums, including Aotearoa (New Zealand), Ghana, France, Mexico, and Canada. She empowers Artists and Change Makers to maximize their societal impact through art, inspiring a broader movement of change driven by creativity. Complementing her hands-on work, Carrie is penning her inaugural book, Eclosion: An Artist's Path to Power and Peace. In this work, she intertwines her memoir with a practical guide for unleashing personal and collective potential, offering a blueprint for transformative change through art—a light for a world in desperate need of inspiration.

Can a glass of pomegranate juice really help slow the growth of prostate cancer? In this episode of The Moss Report, Ben Moss and Dr. Ralph W. Moss take a deep dive into the clinical research on pomegranate and cancer—especially prostate cancer. They explore landmark studies from Johns Hopkins and UCLA, uncover the political backstory behind the POMx extract, and offer practical guidance for integrating pomegranate into a cancer-fighting or preventative diet. Dr. Moss also shares his personal use of pomegranate powder, discusses antioxidant synergy, and introduces options that reduce sugar intake without sacrificing benefits. A compelling look at how traditional foods meet cutting-edge science. “Fill up that self-help space with scientifically documented ways to reduce your cancer risk.” – Dr. Ralph W. Moss

It should come as no surprise that the core team at CCR are Nikon fans. Between Alex, James, and Bill, we have a ton of Nikon kit, from cameras to lenses. So, in this episode, we're running through each of our five favourite Nikkor lenses from our auto and manual focus kits, pre-AI to modern Type-G. Thanks to Joss Hollingworth for putting forward this idea! It was a lot of fun to decide which lenses to include! Lenses in this episode include: Bill: Nikkor 105/2.5, Nikkor 50/2 (K), Nikkor 35/2, Nikkor 28-105/3.5-4.5D, Nikkor 50/1.8 James: Micro-Nikkor 200/4D, Nikkor 50/1.4D, Nikkor 35/2D, DC-Nikkor 105/2D, Nikkor 85/1.4G Alex: AF Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D, AI Nikkor 28mm f/3.5, AF Nikkor 35mm f/2D, AI-S Nikkor 85mm f/2, AF DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2D CCR is ten years old this year, and to celebrate, we're hosting a Photowalk in Brewery Tour on 12 July starting at 11 am from the Great Lakes Brewpub at 11 Lower Jarvis in Toronto, Ontario.

The USA was on fire in 1969 with Vietnam War protests and such. Everyone had a voice and wanted to be heard. But they also wanted to be SEEN. It was a flashy year of afros, flower power, bouncy boob-curtains and bush. The last year of the sixties was an eccentric one - and it was largely soundtracked by the four average Americans of Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR dropped three in 1969 and Green River gets the gold star on it's forehead. Roots rock classic for your face.

In the 2nd part of the Deadcast's Phil Lesh tribute, we get deep into his singular bass playing with Phil's son & bandmate Grahame, Phish's Mike Gordon, & musicologist Rob Collier, while touring Phil's high adventures with Ned Lagin, radio co-host Gary Lambert, & other friends.Guests: Grahame Lesh, Mike Gordon, Ned Lagin, David Crosby, David Lemieux, Gary Lambert, Rob CollierSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

今年一月底時社群網站上流傳著一起事件，涉及一位外籍女性在火車上遭到台籍丈夫的暴力對待。網路討論中，許多人將重點放在伸出援手的女高中生的勇敢上，或是親密關係裡的暴力，但事實上，這起事件與相關輿論也和國族以及我們對於婚姻的想像有關。在這集節目中，我們想要從這起親密伴侶暴力事件出發，聊聊跨國婚姻如何經常被過度浪漫化或是妖魔化。   本集重點： → 假結婚質疑的背後，婚姻的「真實性」如何被界定？ → 親密伴侶暴力的普世性，以及在跨國婚姻關係裡的特殊性 → 對新住民／婚姻移民的討論框架，以及各種矛盾想像 → CCR與跨國婚姻如何發生與背後的全球階序 → 中國籍配偶在台灣所面臨的獨特論述   更多訊息請見部落格文：https://queerology.net/2025/03/21/smalltalq-103/   支持我們：感謝你的收聽。如果你喜歡我們的節目，歡迎你透過以下的方式支持我們。你可以點下訂閱，期待我們下一集的節目；留下五星評價，讓我們知道你的喜歡；也可以將我們的節目分享給更多人知道。如果你願意給我們更多支持，歡迎你前往 https://tinyurl.com/5xsecc9z， 請我們喝杯咖啡。

Lee held CCR at gunpoint so it's a lore episode with some modern thrown in for good measure! Why can't Jace tell anyone what he's up to until he throws the multiverse into chaos? Why does Tarkir get restored offscreen? Why does Sarkhan get beaten not by a character but a random series of events? We don't answer any of those questions! But we sure do ask them.

Alegeri prezidențiale 2025 | Cine (re)intră în cursă și ce averi au candidații (Europa Liberă) - „Colectivul” Macedoniei de Nord. De ce se repetă aceeași rețetă a dezastrului la incendiile din cluburi (Panorama) - Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești! Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin (Republica) - „Nimic nu este avantajos pentru Kiev. Negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost” / „Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”. Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews) Cine va face pușcărie pentru dezmățul lui Iohannis? (SpotMedia)Desecretizarea de către președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan a cheltuielilor pentru deplasările externe ale lui Klaus Iohannis în cei 10 ani de mandat este un act sanitar. Și de transparență, și de legalitate, și de asanare a unei nesimțiri care depășește orice imaginație.Pe scurt, în cei 10 ani dl Iohannis a cheltuit pentru deplasările domniei sale peste 113 milioane de lei, adică aproape 23 de milioane de euro.Banii aceștia includ închirierea și operarea avioanelor de lux. Au fost doar zboruri cu regim special, niciunul de linie, dar și ciocoismul extrem al escalelor de Uber aerian la Sibiu, pentru a fi ridicată și lăsată consoarta.Nimic nu justifică asemenea dezmăț pe bani publici.Dl Iohannis a cheltuit 3,5 milioane de lei pe Hakuna Matata și în Safari prin Kenya. 7,5 milioane de lei că să fie primit de viceprimarul din Rio de Janeiro. 7 milioane de lei pentru turneul în Japonia și Singapore. Până și o vizită de o zi la Sofia a costat 50.000 de euro.Niciodată dl Iohannis nu a luat după el delegații de oameni de afaceri. Eventualii miniștri din delegație veneau separat, cu o cursă de linie.Situația tragică a României, ascensiunea extremiștilor sunt consecințe directe ale mandatelor Iohannis, ale dezamăgirii și frustrării provocate oamenilor inclusiv prin luxul opulent sfidător și secretizarea cheltuielilor în spatele cărora oamenii bănuiau sume exorbitante.  Dl Iohannis nu este singurul vinovat pentru această ticăloșie fără margini. El este profitorul, desigur, însă împarte vina cu armata de slugi care nu au îndrăznit să se opună, atrage atenția jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia.Alegeri prezidențiale 2025 | Cine (re)intră în cursă și ce averi au candidații (Europa Liberă)Mai sunt 47 de zile până la primul tur al alegerilor prezidențiale reluate după anularea celor din noiembrie 2024. Și se apropie de final una dintre cele mai importante etape - înscrierea și validarea candidaților. 18 martie este ultima zi în care se pot formula contestații la CCR privind înregistrarea sau respingerea înregistrării candidaturilor sau a semnelor electorale.Pe 20 martie, Biroul Electoral Central (BEC) va publica lista finală cu aspiranții la Palatul Cotroceni. Iar pe 22 martie e stabilită ordinea candidațior pe buletinul de vot.Campania electorală începe pe 4 aprilie.Europa Liberă reține că s-au înscris în cursă 21 pretendenți, iar pe lista BEC a candidaților ale căror dosare au fost admise sunt 12 persoane. Cinci au candidat și la scrutinul precedent, cel din noiembrie 2024. Iar patru sunt candidați independenți.„Colectivul” Macedoniei de Nord. De ce se repetă aceeași rețetă a dezastrului la incendiile din cluburi (Panorama)59 de morți, aproape 200 de răniți, peste 20 de suspecți audiați, șapte zile de doliu și o națiune cu 1,8 milioane de oameni în stare de șoc. Așa arată fotografia la minut a dezastrului din clubul Pulse, din Macedonia de Nord. Rețeta dezastrului de la Kočani ne este mult prea familiară. Românii au trăit-o pe pielea lor, acum 10 ani, în tragedia de la Colectiv, din București.Un club deschis într-un fost depozit de covoare, care primise o autorizație de funcționare în condiții îndoielnice, în care s-au folosit ilegal materiale pirotehnice în timpul unui concert al unei trupe cu care nu se încheiase niciun contract, într-o clădire a cărei singură protecție la incendiu erau două extinctoare și o singură cale de acces pentru un public de aproximativ 500 de oameni. Sună cunoscut?Totuși, prima mare diferență între catastrofa din Pulse și cea din Colectiv este că autoritățile din Macedonia de Nord au înțeles din prima clipă că nu pot gestiona singure amploarea dezastrului. Au cerut imediat ajutorul Uniunii Europene, prin activarea Mecanismului de Protecție Civilă, pentru a transporta zeci de pacienți în alte țări unde li se poate oferi tratamentul necesar. Nouă țări au oferit sprijin imediat. Inclusiv România, care a intermediat luni, cu un avion militar, transferul a patru răniți în Lituania, lucru confirmat și de Comisia Europeană.Integral pe pagina Panorama.Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești! Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin (Republica)Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești!Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin din 18 martie.Ambii au cumpărat timp: pentru a scăpa de Zelenski și pentru a slăbi poziția europeană!Rusia primește cadou un acord de 30 de zile pentru oprirea bombardamentelor asupra infrastructurii energetice, în condițiile în care Rusia are deja 12 rafinării avariate. Iar Ucraina tocmai ce a anunțat două noi arme: o dronă cu autonomie mare și o rachetă ucraineană care poate ajunge adânc în teritoriul rus. Și se va discuta încetarea focului pe Marea Neagră, unde oricum rușii au pierdut multe nave. În schimb, Trump, care în fiecare zi plânge pentru victimele războiului la televizor, nu a reușit să obțină un acord pentru a opri atacurile asupra civililor. Să nu mai moară ucraineni în spitale, în școli, în instituții și în magazine sau locuințe.Comunicarea rusă vorbește de condiționarea Ucrainei pentru acordul american, de a nu mai cumpăra sau primi armament și renunțarea la pregătirea militară. Orice ajutor militar sau informațional pentru Ucraina trebuie să fie oprit. Condiții care nu se regăsesc în comunicatul Casei Albe. Integral, în Republica.„Nimic nu este avantajos pentru Kiev. Negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost” / „Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”. Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews)Iulia Joja, profesoară adjunctă la universitățile Georgetown și George Washington din SUA, nu vede nimic avantajos pentru Ucraina în discuțiile SUA-Rusia.Într-un dialog purtat cu HotNews după convorbirea Trump-Putin, experta în securitate a arătat că întreaga negociere „este o glumă pentru orice negociator”, din moment ce SUA s-au arătat gata de la bun început să ofere Rusiei toate concesiile posibile. Pentru Trump, spune ea, ironic, nimic nu este însă un eșec.  „Din punct de vedere factual, negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost. Dar ne așteptăm să vedem în continuare ca Trump să se înfățișeze drept mare negociator și câștigător”.„Prin condițiile pe care le impune pentru un armistițiu total, Rusia arată, pur și simplu, că nu și-a modificat cerințele maximaliste”. „Atunci, în aceste condiții actuale, vedem Rusia încercând să solicite o capitulare a Ucrainei. Iar aceștia sunt pașii absolut necesari către capitulare”. „În România, rămâne același calcul valabil ca până acum. Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”.

"Big Wheel Keep On Turning" is a dharma talk that picks up where we left off last Sunday in Two Hands Sangha, after the Buddha's awakening, when he meets his five ascetic friends and delivers the first sermon Setting In Motion The Wheel of The Dhamma. I open with some references to CCR's song, because of course I did. I'm not sorry. I hope the fun we had helps to deliver the importance of this critical teaching.

Vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European: „Dacă România nu se schimbă, la putere va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu” (Adevărul) - Un important sociolog oferă o explicație pentru apariția „poporului lui Georgescu” (HotNews) - România online | Ce se ascunde în spatele războiului pentru atenție de pe rețelele de socializare (Europa Liberă) - Joaca de-a naziștii în România. Amenințări cu pistolul la tâmplă sau cu decapitarea, ignorate de autorități pe motiv că anchetele costă prea mult (Libertatea) „Coliva" lui Georgescu și bătălia lui Simion (SpotMedia)Odată cu validarea de către CCR a candidaturii lui George Simion se schimbă paradigma electorală.O certitudine este că marea majoritate a voturilor lui Călin Georgescu se vor diviza între George Simion și Victor Ponta, care este de așteptat să preia masiv din pesediștii captați de Georgescu și care nu au niciun interes pentru Crin Antonescu.Cine cât va lua depinde în linii mari de două întrebări-cheie ale zilelor viitoare1.Ce va face Călin Georgescu? Singurul mesaj pe care aceasta l-a transmis după invalidarea de către CCR este că și-a încheiat misiunea și fiecare să facă ce și cum îl duce capul la alegerile din mai...Lipsa susținerii ar putea să-l coste pe Simion câteva procente decisive pentru intrarea în turul al doilea. Este probabil ceea ce vrea și Calin Georgescu, pentru că odată intrat Simion în finală, Georgescu va dispărea cu totul.2.Ce va face Anamaria Gavrilă?Înțelegerea era că se vor înscrie și Simion și Gavrilă, ca plasă de siguranță, însă dacă vor fi validați se va retrage cel mai post clasat. Dacă dna Gavrilă nu se retrage sau nu o face înainte de fi tipărite buletinele de vot, va ciupi câteva mii de voturi de la Simion. Și cum lupta pentru turul al doilea se anunță teribilă, fiecare vot contează.Nu aș exclude, scrie jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia, ca însuși Călin Georgescu să o țină acolo tocmai pentru ca Simion să rateze turul al doilea și el să poată redeveni liderul izolaționiștilor.Vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European: „Dacă România nu se schimbă, la putere va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu” (Adevărul)Nicu Ștefănuță, vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European, susține că România nu are o infrastructură industrială care să-i permită obținerea de fonduri europene masive pentru producția de armament, dar poate să se pregătească pentru război construindu-și o „infrastructură beton”.Independentul Nicu Ștefănuță, al doilea vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European, a explicat pentru „Adevărul” că în situațiile de criză, cum a fost pandemia și cum este acum războiul din Ucraina, banii necesari pentru gestionarea problemelor sunt luați de la țările care nu au reușit să acceseze fondurile.În acest context, România stă foarte prost, în condițiile în care timp de un an și jumătate politicienii s-au concentrat doar pe alegeri și nu pe atragerea și ducerea la finalizare a proiectelor finanțate din fonduri europene.Ștefănuță avertizează că „dacă România nu se schimbă și mergem la fel ca până acum, peste patru ani nu va veni un Georgescu, ci va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu”.INTERVIU. Teoria restanțelor la plata facturilor. Un important sociolog oferă o explicație pentru apariția „poporului lui Georgescu” (HotNews)“Poporul român” a renăscut în noiembrie 2024 pentru că un anume Călin Georgescu l-a făcut vizibil. Același “popor român” este dorit la vot, în mai 2025, pentru a alege, printre alții, pe succesorii lui Georgescu: George Simion sau Ana Maria Gavrilă.. Cine este acest “popor român”? L-am întrebat pe sociologul Dumitru Sandu, unul dintre cei mai respectați sociologi români.În interviul pentru Hotnews, Dumitru Sandu analizează ultimul sondaj Europol care relevă două tendințe clare:“Miscările sociale de protest și nemulțumire din România par să fi fost stimulate, în principal, de proasta funcțonare a instituțiilor, de corupția instituțională care a dus la această situație.” Sănătatea este, din acest punct de vedere, pe primul loc.Preocuparea privind Sănătatea este cea a bărbaților care nu mai sunt așa tineri și au dificultăți în plata facturilor lunare. Ei se întreabă: în situația dată de vârsta mea, de perpetuarea datoriilor mele, mă pot baza pe Spital, doctori? Răspunsul este Nu!”România online | Ce se ascunde în spatele războiului pentru atenție de pe rețelele de socializare (Europa Liberă)În România, 13 milioane de oameni folosesc rețele sociale la nivelul anului 2025, arată ultimele date de la DataReportal. Asta înseamnă că 68,6% din populația totală a României e conectată la social media.Cât de mult influențează informația primită de algoritmii social media deciziile din viața reală? Cum arată România online? Cum poate fi depistat un fake news?Europa Liberă a stat de vorbă cu oameni obișnuiți - utilizatori de social media, experți media, profesori care se ocupă de combaterea dezinformării și psihologi.

Dr. Neeraj Agarwal and Dr. Peter Hoskin discuss key abstracts in GU cancers from the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, including novel therapies in prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer and the impact of combination therapies on patient outcomes. TRANSCSRIPT Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, the director of the Genitourinary Oncology Program and professor of medicine at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, and editor-in-chief of ASCO Daily News. Today, we'll be discussing practice-informing abstracts and other key advances in GU oncology featured at the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Joining me for this discussion is Dr. Peter Hoskin, the chair of this year's ASCO GU Symposium. Dr. Hoskin is a professor in clinical oncology in the University of Manchester and honorary consultant in clinical oncology at the Christie Hospital, Manchester, and University College Hospital London, in the United Kingdom. Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode. Peter, thank you for joining us today. Dr. Peter Hoskin: Thank you so much, Neeraj. I am very pleased to be here. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: The GU meeting highlighted remarkable advancements across the spectrum of GU malignancies. What stood out to you as the most exciting developments at the ASCO GU Symposium?  Dr. Peter Hoskin: The theme of this year's meeting was "Driving Innovation, Improving Patient Care," and this reflected ASCO GU's incredible milestone in GU cancer research over the years. We were thrilled to welcome almost 6,000 attendees on this occasion from over 70 countries, and most of them were attending in person and not online, although this was a hybrid meeting. Furthermore, we had more than 1,000 abstract submissions. You can imagine then that it fostered fantastic networking opportunities and facilitated valuable knowledge and idea exchanges among experts, trainees, and mentees. So, to start I'd like to come back to you for a second because the first day started with a focus on prostate cancer and some of the key clinical trials. And congratulations to you, Neeraj, on sharing the data from the TALAPRO-2 trial, which we were eagerly awaiting. I'd love to get your thoughts on the data that you presented. Could you tell us more about that trial, Abstract LBA18?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Yes, Peter, I agree with you. It was such an exciting conference overall and thank you for your leadership of this conference. So, let's talk about the TALAPRO-2 trial. First of all, I would like to remind our audience that the combination of talazoparib plus enzalutamide was approved by the U.S. FDA in June 2023 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring HRR gene alterations, after this combination improved the primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival compared to enzalutamide alone in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-cohort phase 3 TALAPRO-2 trial. In the abstract I presented at ASCO GU 2025, we reported the final overall survival data, which was a key alpha-protected secondary endpoint in cohort 1, which enrolled an all-comer population of patients with mCRPC. So, at a median follow-up of around 53 months, in the intention-to-treat population, the combination of talazoparib plus enzalutamide significantly reduced the risk of death by 20% compared to enzalutamide alone, with a median OS of 45.8 months in the experimental arm versus 37 months in the control arm, which was an active control arm of enzalutamide. This improvement was consistent in patients with HRR alterations with a hazard ratio of 0.54 and in those with non-deficient or unknown HRR status, with a hazard ratio of 0.87. In a post hoc analysis, the hazard ratio for OS was 0.78 favoring the combination in those patients who did not have any HRR gene alteration in their tumors by both tissue and ctDNA testing. Consistent with the primary analysis, the updated rPFS data also favored the experimental arm with a median rPFS of 33.1 compared to 19.5 months in the control arm, and a hazard ratio of 0.667. No new safety signals were identified with extended follow-up. Thus, TALAPRO-2 is the first PARP inhibitor plus ARPI study to show a statistically significant and a clinically meaningful improvement in OS compared to standard-of-care enzalutamide as first-line treatment in patients with mCRPC unselected for HRR gene alterations. Dr. Peter Hoskin: Thank you, Neeraj. That's a great summary of the data presented and very important data indeed. There was another abstract also featured in the same session, Abstract 20, titled “Which patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer benefit more from androgen receptor pathway inhibitors? STOPCAP meta-analyses of individual participant data.” Neeraj, could you tell us more about this abstract? Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Absolutely, I would be delighted to. So, in this meta-analysis, Dr. David Fischer and colleagues pooled individual participant data from different randomized phase 3 trials in the mHSPC setting to assess the potential ARPI effect modifiers and determine who benefits more from an ARPI plus ADT doublet. The primary outcome was OS for main effects and PFS for subgroup analyses. Prostate cancer specific survival was a sensitivity outcome. The investigators pooled data from 11 ARPI trials and more than 11,000 patients. Overall, there was a clear benefit of adding an ARPI on both OS and PFS, with hazard ratios of 0.66 and 0.51, respectively, representing a 13% and 21% absolute improvement at 5 years, respectively, with no clear difference by the class of agent. When stratifying the patients by age group, the effects of adding an ARPI on OS and PFS were slightly smaller in patients older than 75, than in those younger than 65, or aged between 65 and 75 years. Notably, in the trials assessing the use of abiraterone, we saw very little OS effects in the group of patients older than 75, however there was some benefit maintained in prostate-cancer specific survival, suggesting that other causes of death may be having an impact. The effects of the other ARPIs, or ‘lutamides' as I would call them, were similar across all three age subgroups on both OS and PFS. Therefore, the majority of patients with mHSPC benefit from the addition of ARPIs, and the benefits/risks of abiraterone and other ‘amides' must be considered in older patients.  Dr. Peter Hoskin: Thanks, Neeraj. Another great summary relevant to our day-to-day practice. Of course, there's ongoing collection of individual patient data from other key trials, which will allow robust comparison of ARPI doublet with triplet therapy (including docetaxel), guiding more personalized treatment.   Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: I agree with you, Peter, we need more data to help guide personalized treatment for patients with mHSPC and potentially guide de-escalation versus escalation strategies. Now, moving on to a different setting in prostate cancer, would you like to mention Abstract 17 titled, “Overall survival and quality of life with Lu-PSMA-617 plus enzalutamide versus enzalutamide alone in poor-risk, metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer in ENZA-p (ANZUP 1901),” presented by Dr. Louise Emmett? Dr. Peter Hoskin: Of course I will. So, ENZA-p was a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase 2 trial conducted in Australia. It randomized 163 patients into adaptive doses (2 or 4 cycles) of Lu-PSMA-617 plus enzalutamide versus enzalutamide alone as first-line treatment in PSMA-PET-CT-positive, poor-risk, mCRPC. The interim analysis of ENZA-p with median follow-up 20 months showed improved PSA-progression-free survival with the addition of Lu-PSMA-617 to enzalutamide. Here, the investigators reported the secondary outcomes, overall survival, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). After a median follow up of 34 months, overall survival was longer in the combination arm compared to the enzalutamide arm, with a median OS of 34 months compared to 26 months; with an HR of 0.55. Moreover, the combination improved both deterioration-free survival and health-related quality of life indicators for pain, fatigue, physical function, and overall health and quality of life compared to the control arm. Consistent with the primary analysis, the rPFS also favored the experimental arm with a median rPFS of 17 months compared to 14 months with a HR of 0.61. So, the addition of LuPSMA improved overall survival, and HRQOL in patients with high-risk mCRPC. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you, Peter. Great summary, and promising results with Lu-177 and ARPI combination in first line treatment for mCRPC among patients who had two or more high risk features associated with early enzalutamide failure. Before we move on to bladder cancer, would you like to tell us about Abstract 15 titled, “World-wide oligometastatic prostate cancer (omPC) meta-analysis leveraging individual patient data (IPD) from randomized trials (WOLVERINE): An analysis from the X-MET collaboration,” presented by Dr. Chad Tang?  Dr. Peter Hoskin: Sure. So, with metastatic-directed therapy (MDT), we have a number of phase 2 studies making up the database, and the X-MET collaboration aimed to consolidate all randomized data on oligometastatic solid tumors. This abstract presented pooled individual patient data from all the published trials involving patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer who received MDT alongside standard of care (SOC) against SOC alone. The analysis included data from five trials, encompassing 472 patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer, and followed for a median of 41 months. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either MDT plus SOC or SOC alone. The addition of MDT significantly improved PFS. The median PFS was 32 months with MDT compared to 14.9 months with SOC alone, with an HR of 0.45. Subgroup analyses further confirmed the consistent benefits of MDT across different patient groups. Regardless of factors like castration status, receipt of prior primary treatment, stage, or number of metastases, MDT consistently improved PFS. In patients with mHSPC, MDT significantly delayed the time to castration resistance by nine months, extending it to a median of 72 months compared to 63 months in the SOC group with an HR of 0.58. In terms of OS, the addition of MDT improved the 48-month survival rate by 12%, with OS rates of 87% in the MDT+SOC group compared to 75% in the SOC alone group. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you, Peter. These data demonstrate that adding MDT to systemic therapy significantly improves PFS, rPFS, and castration resistance-free survival, reinforcing its potential role in the treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer. So, let's switch gears to bladder cancer and start with Abstract 658 reporting the OS analysis of the CheckMate-274 trial. Would you like to tell us about this abstract?  Dr. Peter Hoskin: Yes, sure, Neeraj. This was presented by Dr. Matt Milowsky, and it was additional efficacy outcomes, including overall survival, from the CheckMate-274 trial which evaluated adjuvant nivolumab versus placebo in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer after radical surgery. The phase 3 trial previously demonstrated a significant improvement in disease-free survival with nivolumab. With a median follow-up of 36.1 months, disease-free survival was longer with nivolumab compared to placebo across all patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, reducing the risk of disease recurrence or death by 37%. Among patients who had received prior neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy, nivolumab reduced this risk by 42%, whilst in those who had not received chemotherapy, the risk was reduced by 31%. Overall survival also favored nivolumab over placebo, reducing the risk of death by 30% in all patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and by 52% in those with tumors expressing PD-L1 at 1% or higher. Among patients who had received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy, nivolumab reduced the risk of death by 26%, whilst in those who had not received chemotherapy, the risk was reduced by 33%. Alongside this, the safety profile remained consistent with previous findings. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you, Peter, for such a nice overview of this abstract. These results reinforce adjuvant nivolumab as a standard of care for high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer, offering the potential for a curative outcome for our patients. Dr. Peter Hoskin: I agree with you Neeraj. Perhaps you would like to mention Abstract 659 titled, “Additional efficacy and safety outcomes and an exploratory analysis of the impact of pathological complete response (pCR) on long-term outcomes from NIAGARA.” Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Of course. Dr. Galsky presented additional outcomes from the phase 3 NIAGARA study, which evaluated perioperative durvalumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The study previously demonstrated a significant improvement in event-free survival and overall survival with durvalumab compared to chemotherapy alone, with a manageable safety profile and no negative impact on the ability to undergo radical cystectomy. Among the 1,063 randomized patients, those who received durvalumab had a 33% reduction in the risk of developing distant metastases or death and a 31% reduction in the risk of dying from bladder cancer compared to those who received chemotherapy alone. More patients who received durvalumab achieved a pathological complete response at the time of surgery with 37% compared to 28% in the chemotherapy-alone group. Patients who achieved a pathological complete response had better event-free survival and overall survival compared to those who did not. In both groups, durvalumab provided additional survival benefits, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 42% and the risk of death by 28% in patients with a pathological complete response, while in those patients without a pathological complete response, the risk of disease progression or death was reduced by 23% and the risk of death by 16% when durvalumab was added to the chemotherapy. Immune-mediated adverse events occurred in 21% of patients in the durvalumab group compared to 3% in the chemotherapy-alone group, with grade 3 or higher events occurring in 3% compared to 0.2%. The most common immune-related adverse events included hypothyroidism in 10% of patients treated with durvalumab compared to 1% in the chemotherapy-alone group, and hyperthyroidism in 3% versus 0.8%. At the time of the data cutoff, these adverse events had resolved in 41% of affected patients in the durvalumab group and 44% in the chemotherapy-alone group. Dr. Peter Hoskin: Thank you, Neeraj, for the great summary. These findings further support the role of perioperative durvalumab as a potential standard of care for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: I concur with your thoughts, Peter. Before wrapping up the bladder cancer section, would you like to mention Abstract 664 reporting updated results from the EV-302 trial, which evaluated enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab compared to chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma? Dr. Peter Hoskin: Yes, of course. Dr. Tom Powles presented updated findings from the EV-302 study, and in this abstract presented 12 months of additional follow-up for EV-302 (>2 y of median follow-up) and an exploratory analysis of patients with confirmed complete response (cCR). The study had a median follow-up of 29.1 months and previously demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab. This is now the standard of care in global treatment guidelines. Among the 886 randomized patients, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 52% and the risk of death by 49% compared to chemotherapy. The survival benefit was consistent regardless of cisplatin eligibility or the presence of liver metastases. The confirmed objective response rate was higher with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab at 67.5% compared to 44.2% with chemotherapy. The median duration of response was 23.3 months with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab compared to 7.0 months with chemotherapy. A complete response was achieved in 30.4% of patients in the enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab group compared to 14.5% in the chemotherapy group, with the median duration of complete response not yet reached in the enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab group compared to 15.2 months in the chemotherapy group. Severe treatment-related adverse events occurred in 57.3% of patients treated with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab compared to 69.5% in the chemotherapy group, while in patients who achieved a complete response, severe adverse events occurred in 61.7% of those treated with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab compared to 71.9% with chemotherapy. Treatment-related deaths were reported in 1.1% of patients treated with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab compared to 0.9% with chemotherapy, with no treatment-related deaths occurring in those who achieved a complete response. These findings clearly confirm the durable efficacy of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, reinforcing its role as the standard of care for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, and no new safety concerns have been identified. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you for this great summary. Moving on to kidney cancer, let's talk about Abstract 439 titled, “Nivolumab plus cabozantinib (N+C) vs sunitinib (S) for previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC): Final follow-up results from the CheckMate-9ER trial.” Dr. Peter Hoskin: Sure. Dr. Motzer presented the final results from the phase 3 CheckMate-9ER trial, which compared the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab against sunitinib in previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma. The data after more than five years follow-up show that the combination therapy provided sustained superior efficacy compared to sunitinib. In terms of overall survival, we see an 11-month improvement in median OS, 46.5 months for the cabo-nivo versus 35.5 months for sunitinib and a 42% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death, with median progression-free survival nearly doubling – that's 16.4 months in the combination group and 8.3 months with sunitinib. Importantly, the safety profile was consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual medicines, with no new safety concerns identified. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Great summary, Peter. These data further support the efficacy of cabo-nivo combination therapy in advanced renal cell carcinoma, which is showing a 11-month difference in overall survival. Dr. Peter Hoskin: Neeraj, before wrapping up this podcast, would you like to tell us about Abstract 618? This is titled “Prospective COTRIMS (Cologne trial of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in metastatic seminoma) trial: Final results.” Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Sure, Peter. I would be delighted to. Dr Heidenrich from the University of Cologne in Germany presented the COTRIMS data evaluating retroperitoneal LN dissection in patients with clinical stage 2A/B seminomas. Seminomas are classified as 2A or B when the disease spreads to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes of up to 2 cm (CS IIA) or of more than 2 cm to up to 5 cm (CS 2B) in maximum diameter, respectively. They account for 10-15% of seminomas and they are usually treated with radiation and chemotherapy. However, radiation and chemo can be associated with long-term toxicities such as cardiovascular toxicities, diabetes, solid cancers, leukemia, particularly for younger patients. From this standpoint, Dr Heidenrich and colleagues evaluated unilateral, modified template, nerve-sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection as a less toxic alternative compared to chemo and radiation. They included 34 patients with negative AFP, beta-HCG, and clinical stage 2A/B seminomas. At a median follow-up of 43.2 months, the trial demonstrated great outcomes: a 99.3% treatment-free survival rate and 100% overall survival, with only four relapses. Antegrade ejaculation was preserved in 88% of patients, and severe complications such as grade 3 and 4 were observed in 12% of patients. Pathological analysis revealed metastatic seminoma in 85% of cases, with miR371 being true positive in 23 out of 24 cases and true negative in 100% of cases. It appears to be a valid biomarker for predicting the presence of lymph node metastases. These findings highlight retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is feasible; it has low morbidity, and excellent oncologic outcomes, avoiding overtreatment in 80% of patients and sparing unnecessary chemotherapy or radiotherapy in 10-15% of cases. Dr. Peter Hoskin: Great summary and important data on retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in metastatic seminoma. These findings will help shape clinical practice. Any final remarks before we conclude today's podcast? Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Before wrapping up this podcast, I would like to say that we have reviewed several abstracts addressing prostate, bladder, kidney cancers, and seminoma, which are impacting our medical practices now and in the near future.

In this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we dive into one of the most essential greatest hits compilations of all time—Chronicle, Vol. 1 by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Released in 1976, this collection of timeless classics showcases the raw energy, storytelling, and swamp rock sound that made CCR one of the defining bands of the late 60s and early 70s. With unforgettable tracks like "Bad Moon Rising," "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?," Chronicle, Vol. 1 is packed with hit after hit. These songs became anthems of the Vietnam War era, resonating with themes of working-class struggle, rebellion, and the American experience.
