     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Kai Tristan Rivera to the podcast. Kai was last on the show Season 5, Episode 131, where he talked about his two brothers being withheld from his family.           Kai is a very determined young man and devoted big brother, who first spoke out last year to shine a light on the hidden abuse and the fight to keep families together. He's returned now to give an important update on his journey, using his voice and platforms to expose Family Court corruption and defend the bonds that should never be broken. Kai‘s mission is simple but powerful: to protect his little brother's, stand for the truth and inspire others around him to stand up for what is right.     Kai discussed what walking into the family court had felt like and sitting next to his abuser. He had also discussed what happened in court recently and how there was a one-sided interview with CPS. He did say that the Hearing Moderator was listening to him, however not changing anything while his little brothers are being turned against Kai and his whole family. In the past going before Judge Sibum, he questions if she ever listened to his brothers at all and didn't interview him either.     Encouraging others to speak out as Kai wants others to speak out. Kai states, "This is happening to kids everywhere. The court should be protecting kids, and it's not. Share your stories, sign petitions, follow me and demand accountability. Talk about family court corruption and its players. We can't let abuse be hidden anymore."To Reach Kai Tristan Rivera:    TikTok: @ezk.monkey.brothers, Instagram: @monkeybrothersezk, Facebook:  Monkeys BrothersSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep  -NIL, NCAA & the Wild West of College Sports – Decoding the Future with Andrew Donovan The world of college sports is undergoing a seismic transformation — and no issue is more disruptive (or divisive) than NIL: Name, Image, and Likeness. In this week's episode of Church Pew Sports, host Bill Hobson is joined by Andrew Donovan, President of the College Division at Altius Sports Partners, for an eye-opening deep dive into how NIL is reshaping the landscape of collegiate athletics. This is more than just a conversation about athlete compensation — it's a journey into a new era of recruiting, regulation, and revenue. From the shifting power dynamics between schools and athletes to the legal entanglements challenging the NCAA's authority, Donovan offers unprecedented insight into the NIL frontier. With 40+ schools in his client portfolio, Andrew isn't just observing the changes — he's helping build the infrastructure for what comes next. You'll hear how universities are navigating the new pay-for-play ecosystem, how donor collectives are influencing recruiting like never before, and how NIL has created massive uncertainty around fairness, compliance, and sustainability. Bill and Andrew also explore the impact on the fan experience — will we ever again see a player stay four years at one school? Or are we rooting for laundry, as Jerry Seinfeld once put it? This episode tackles key questions: Is the NCAA even relevant anymore? Will college football and basketball split off into professional leagues? Can schools balance athlete pay with academic integrity? Is Title IX the next big battleground? Later in the episode, Pastor Paul Miller joins to weigh in on the deeper faith and family dimensions of college sports culture, reflecting on how far the game has drifted from its educational and community roots. With his trademark blend of wit and wisdom, Paul adds a powerful perspective to an already fascinating conversation. Whether you're a diehard Buckeye, a maize-and-blue loyalist, or simply a sports fan trying to make sense of this new world, this is the NIL masterclass you've been waiting for. It's smart, candid, and loaded with practical insight — all through the lens of faith, culture, and real life.

Spoilers suggest that Taylor's happiness might be short-lived, as Ridge's lingering feelings for Brooke could lead to a heartbreaking split. Ridge recently accepted Taylor's proposal, much to the delight of Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), who has a vested interest in seeing Brooke single. However, Brooke remains adamant that Ridge's relationship with Taylor is not real, despite her sister Katie Logan's (Heather Tom) reminders of Ridge's past marriages to Taylor and their shared children. B&B sees Nick is expected to help Brooke realize that her relationship with Ridge is toxic. This could pave the way for a new romance between Nick and Brooke. However, showrunner Brad Bell has hinted at a shocking turn of events during a trip to Italy, which might make Ridge realize that Brooke is his true love on the CBS soap opera. Bold and Beautiful sees Taylor's impending heartbreak is reminiscent of her previous wedding disaster with Ridge, which was ruined by a revelation about a fake CPS call. As the wedding approaches, fans are left wondering if history will repeat itself and if Ridge will once again leave Taylor at the altar. Ridge is caught in a dilemma between his commitment to Taylor and his unresolved feelings for Brooke. Soap Dirt is the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.

Dr. Allison Zibelli and Dr. Rebecca Shatsky discuss advances in breast cancer research that were presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, including a potential new standard of care for HER2+ breast cancer, the future of ER+ breast cancer management, and innovations in triple negative breast cancer therapy. Transcript Dr. Allison Zibelli: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Dr. Allison Zibelli, your guest host of the podcast today. I'm an associate professor of medicine and a breast medical oncologist at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Jefferson Health. There was a substantial amount of exciting breast cancer data presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, and I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Rebecca Shatsky today to discuss some of these key advancements. Dr. Shatsky is an associate professor of medicine at UC San Diego and the head of breast medical oncology at the UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center, where she also serves as the director of the Breast Cancer Clinical Trials Program and the Inflammatory and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Program.  Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode. Dr. Shatsky, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Thanks, Dr. Zibelli. It's wonderful to be here. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, we're starting with DESTINY-Breast09, which was trastuzumab deruxtecan and pertuzumab versus our more standard regimen of taxane, trastuzumab pertuzumab for first-line treatment of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Could you tell us a little bit about the study? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, absolutely. So, this was a long-awaited study. When T-DXd, or trastuzumab deruxtecan, really hit the market, a lot of these DESTINY-Breast trials were started around the same time. Now, this was a global, randomized, phase 3 study presented by Dr. Sara Tolaney from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard in Boston. It was assessing essentially T-DXd in the first-line setting for metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer in addition to pertuzumab. And that was randomized against our standard-of-care regimen, which was established over a decade ago by the CLEOPATRA trial, and we've all been using that internationally for at least the past 10 years. So, this was a large trial, and it was one-to-one-to-one of patients getting T-DXd plus pertuzumab, T-DXd alone, or THP, which mostly is used as docetaxel and trastuzumab and pertuzumab every three weeks for six cycles. And this was in over 1,000 patients; it was 1,159 patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. This was a very interesting trial. It was looking at the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan, but patients were started on this treatment for their first-line metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer with no end date to their T-DXd. So, it was, you know, you were started on T-DXd every 3 weeks until progression. Now, CLEOPATRA is a little bit different than that, though, as we know. So, CLEOPATRA has a taxane plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab. But generally, patients drop the taxane after about six to seven cycles because, as we know, you can't be really on a taxane indefinitely. You get pretty substantial neuropathy as well as cytopenias, other things that end up happening. And so, in general, that regimen has sort of a limited time course for its chemotherapy portion, and the patients maintained after the taxane is dropped on their trastuzumab and their pertuzumab, plus or minus endocrine therapy if the investigator so desires. And the primary endpoint of the trial was progression-free survival by blinded, independent central review (BICR) in the intent-to-treat population. And then it had its other endpoints as overall survival, investigator-assessed progression-free survival, objective response rates, and duration of response, and of course, safety. As far as the results of this trial, so, I think that most of us key opinion leaders in breast oncology were expecting that this was going to be a positive trial. And it surely was. I mean, this is a really, really active drug, especially in HER2-positive disease, of course. So, the DESTINY-Breast03 data really established that, that this is a very effective treatment in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. And this trial really, again, showed that. So, there were 383 patients that ended up on the trastuzumab plus deruxtecan plus pertuzumab arm, and 387 got THP, the CLEOPATRA regimen. What was really interesting also to note of this before I go on to the results was that 52% of patients on this trial had de novo metastatic disease. And that's pretty unusual for any kind of metastatic breast cancer trial. It kind of shows you, though, just how aggressive this disease is, that a lot of patients, they present with de novo metastatic disease. It's also reflecting the global nature of this trial where maybe the screening efforts are a little bit less than maybe in the United States, and more patients are presenting as later stage because to have a metastatic breast cancer trial in the United States with 52% de novo metastatic disease doesn't usually happen. But regardless, the disease characteristics were pretty well matched between the two groups. 54% of the patients were triple positive, or you could say hormone-positive because whether they were PR positive or ER positive and PR negative doesn't really matter in this disease. And so, the interim data cutoff was February of this year, of 2025. So, the follow-up so far has been about 29 months, so the data is still really immature, only 38% mature for progression-free survival interim analysis. But what we saw is that T-DXd plus pertuzumab, it really improved progression-free survival. It had a hazard ratio that was pretty phenomenal at 0.56 with a confidence interval that was pretty narrow of 0.44 to 0.71. So, very highly statistically significant data here. The progression-free survival was consistent across all subgroups. Overall survival, very much immature at this time, but of course, the trend is towards an overall survival benefit for the T-DXd group. The median durable response with T-DXd plus pertuzumab exceeded 3 years. Now, importantly, though, I want to stress this, is grade 3 or above treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in both subgroups pretty equally. But there were 2 deaths in the T-DXd group due to interstitial lung disease. And there was a 12.1% adjudicated drug-induced interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis event rate in the T-DXd group and only 1%, and it was grade 1-2, in the THP group. So, that's really the caveat of this therapy, is we know that a percentage of patients are going to get interstitial lung disease, and that some may have very serious adverse events from it. So, that's always something I keep in the back of my mind when I treat patients with T-DXd. And so, overall, the conclusions of the trial were pretty much a slam dunk. T-DXd plus pertuzumab, it had a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival versus the CLEOPATRA regimen. And that was across all subgroups for first-line metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer here. And so, yeah, the data was pretty impressive. Just to go into the overall response rate, because that's always super important as well, you had 85.1% of patients having a confirmed overall RECIST response rate in the T-DXd plus pertuzumab group and a 78.6 in the CLEOPATRA group. The complete CR rate, complete response was 15.1% in the T-DXd group and 8.5 in the CLEOPATRA regimen. And it was really an effective regimen in this group, of course. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, the investigators say at the end of their abstract that this is the new standard of care. Would you agree with that statement? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, that was a bold statement to make because I would say in the United States, not necessarily at the moment because the quality of life here, you have to think really hard about. Because one thing that's really important about the DESTINY-Breast09 data is that this was very much an international trial, and in many of the countries where patients enrolled on this, they were not able to access T-DXd off trial. And so, for them, this means T-DXd now or potentially never. And so, that is a really big difference whereas internationally, that may mean standard of care. However, in the US, patients have no issues accessing T-DXd in the second- or third-line settings. And right now, it's the standard of care in the second line in the United States, with all patients basically getting this second-line therapy except for some unique patients where they may be doing a PATINA trial regimen, which we saw at San Antonio Breast Cancer in 2024 of the triple-positive patients getting hormonal therapy plus palbociclib, which had a really great durable response. That was super impressive as well. Or there is the patient that the investigator can pick KADCYLA because the patient really wants to preserve their hair or maybe it's more indolent disease. But the quality of life on T-DXd indefinitely in the first-line setting is a big deal because, again, that CLEOPATRA regimen allows patients to drop their chemotherapy component about five to six months in. And with this, you're on a drug that feels very chemo-heavy indefinitely. And so, I think there's a lot more to investigate as far as what we're going to do with this data in the United States because it's a lot to commit a patient in the first-line metastatic setting. These de novo metastatic patients, some of them may be cured, honestly, on the HER2-targeting regimen. That's something we see these days. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, very interesting trial. I'm sure we'll be talking about this for a long time.  So, let's move on to SERENA-6, which was, I thought, a very interesting trial. This trial took patients with ER positive, advanced breast cancer after six months on an AI (aromatase inhibitor) and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. They did ctDNA every two to three months, and when they saw an ESR1 mutation emerge, they changed half of the patients to camizestrant plus CDK4/6 and kept the other half on the AI plus CDK4/6. Can you talk about that trial a little bit, please? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, so this was a big trial at ASCO25. This was presented as a Plenary Session. So, this was camizestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and it could have been any of the three, so palbo, ribo, or abemaciclib in the first-line metastatic hormone-positive population, and patients were on an AI with that. They were, interestingly, tested by ctDNA at baseline to see if they had an ESR1 mutation. So, that was an interesting feature of this trial. But patients had to have already been on their CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI for at least 6 months to enroll. And then, as you mentioned, they got ctDNA testing every 2 to 3 months. This was also a phase 3, double-blind, international trial. And I do want to highlight again, international here, because that's important when we're considering some of this data in the U.S. because it influences some of the results. So, this was presented by Dr. Nick Turner of the Royal Marsden in the UK. So, just a little bit of background for our listeners on ESR1 mutations and why they're important. This is the most common, basically, acquired resistance mutation to patients being treated with aromatase inhibitors. We know that treatment with aromatase inhibitors can induce this. It makes a conformational change in the estrogen receptor that makes the estrogen receptor constitutively active, which allows the cell to signal despite the influence of the aromatase inhibitor to decrease the estrogen production so that the ligand binding doesn't matter as much as far as the cell signaling and transcription is concerned. And camizestrant, you know, as an oral SERD, just to explain that a little bit too; these are estrogen receptor degraders. The first-in-class of a selective estrogen receptor degrader to make it to market was fulvestrant. And that's really been our standard-of-care estrogen degrader for the past 25 years, almost 25 years. And so, a lot of us are just looking for some of these oral SERDs to replace that. But regardless, they do tend to work in the ESR1-mutated population. And we know that patients on aromatase inhibitors, the estimates of patients developing an ESR1 mutation, depending on which study you look at, somewhere between 30% to 50% overall, patients will develop this mutation with hormone-positive metastatic breast cancer. There is a small percentage of patients that have these at baseline without even treatment of an aromatase inhibitor. The estimates of that are somewhere between 0.5 and up to 5%, depending on the trial you look at and the population. But regardless, there is a chance someone on their CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI at 6 months' time course could have had an ESR1 mutation at that time. But anyway, so they got this ctDNA every 2 to 3 months, and once they were found to develop an ESR1 mutation, the patients were then switched to the oral SERD. AstraZeneca's version of the oral SERD is camizestrant, 75 mg daily. And then their type of CDK4/6 inhibitor was maintained, so they didn't switch the brand of their CDK4/6 inhibitor, importantly. And that was looked at then for progression-free survival, but these were patients with measurable disease by RECIST version 1.1. And the data cut off here was November of 2024. This was a big trial, you know, and I think that that's influential here because this was 3,256 patients, and that's a lot of patients. So, they were all eligible. And then 315 patients ended up being randomized to switch to camizestrant upon presence of that ESR1 mutation. So, that was 157 patients. And then the other half, so they were randomized 1:1, they continued on their AI without switching to an oral SERD. That was 158 patients. They were matched pretty well. And so, their baseline characteristics, you know, the two subgroups was good. But this was highly statistically significant data. I'm not going to diminish that in any way. Your hazard ratio was 0.44. Highly statistically significant confidence intervals. And you had a median progression-free survival in those that switched to camizestrant of 16 months, and then the non-switchers was 9.2 months. So, the progression-free survival benefit there was also consistent across the subgroups. And so, you had at 12 months, the PFS rate was 60.7% for the non-treatment group and 33.4% in the treatment group. What's interesting, though, is we don't have overall survival data. This is really immature, only 12% mature as far as overall survival. And again, because this was an international trial and patients in other countries right now do not have the access to oral SERDs that the United States does, the crossover rate, they were not allowed to crossover, and so, a very few patients, when we look at progression-free survival 2 and ultimately overall survival, were able to access an oral SERD in the off-trial here and in the non-treatment group. And so, that's really important as far as we look at these results. Adverse events were pretty minimal. These are very safe drugs, camizestrant and all the other oral SERDs. They have some mild toxicities. Camizestrant is known for something weird, which is called photopsia, which is some flashing lights in the periphery of the eye, but it doesn't seem to have any serious clinical significance that we know of. It has a little bit of bradycardia, but it's otherwise really well tolerated. You know, I hate to say that because that's very subjective, right? I'm not the one taking the drug. But it doesn't have any serious adverse events that would cause discontinuation. And that's really what we saw in the trial. The discontinuation rates were really low. But overall, I mean, this was a positive trial. SERENA-6 showed that switching to camizestrant at the first sign of an ESR1 mutation on CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI improved progression-free survival. That's all we can really say from it right now. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, let's move on to ASCENT-04, which was a bit more straightforward. Sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in PD-L1-positive, triple-negative breast cancer. Could you talk about that study? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, so this was also presented by the lovely Sara Tolaney from Dana-Farber. And this study made me really excited. And maybe that's because I'm a triple-negative breast cancer person. I mean, not to say that I don't treat hundreds of patients with hormone- positive, but our unmet needs in triple negative are huge because this is a disease where you have got to throw your best available therapy at it as soon as you can to improve survival because survival is so poor in this disease. The average survival with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the United States is still 13-18 months, and that's terrible. And so, for full disclosure, I did have this trial open at my site. I was one of the site PIs. I'm not the global PI of the study, obviously. So, what this study was was for patients who had had at least a progression-free survival of 6 months after their curative intent therapy or de novo metastatic disease. They were PD-L1 positive as assessed by the Dako 22C3 assay of greater than or equal to a CPS score of 10. So, that's what the KEYNOTE-355 trial was based on as well. So, standard definition of PD-L1 positive in breast cancer here. And basically, these patients were randomized 1:1 to either their sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab, day 1 they got both therapies, and then day 8 just the saci, as is standard for sacituzumab. And then the other group got the KEYNOTE-355 regimen. So, that is pembrolizumab with – your options are carbogem there, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel. And it's up to investigator's decision which upon those they decided. They followed these patients for disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. It was really an impressive trial in my opinion because we know already that this didn't just improve progression-free survival, because survival is so poor in this disease, of course, we know that it improved overall survival. It's trending towards that very much, and I think that's going to be shown immediately. And then the objective response rates were better, which is key in this disease because in the first-line setting, you've got a lot of people who, especially your relapsed TNBC that don't respond to anything. And you lose a ton of patients even in the first-line setting in this disease. And so, this was 222 patients to chemotherapy and pembro and 221 to sacituzumab plus pembro. Median follow-up has only been 14 months, so it's still super early here. Hazard ratio so far of progression-free survival is 0.65, highly statistically significant, narrow confidence intervals. And so, the median duration of response here for the saci group was 16.5 months versus 9.2 months. So, you're getting a 7-month progression-free survival benefit here, which in triple negative is pretty fantastic. I mean, this reminds me of when we saw the ASCENT data originally come out for sacituzumab, and we were all just so happy that we had this tool now that doubled progression-free and overall survival and made such a difference in this really horrible disease where patients do poorly. So, OS is technically immature here, but it's really trending very heavily towards improvement in overall survival. Importantly, the treatment-related adverse events in this, I mean, we know sacituzumab causes neutropenia, people who are experienced with this drug know how to manage it at this point. There wasn't any really unexpected treatment-related adverse events. You get some people with sacituzumab who have diarrhea. It's usually pretty manageable with some Imodium. So, it was cytopenias predominantly in this disease in this population that were highlighted as far as adverse events. But I'm going to be honest, like I was surprised that this wasn't the plenary over the SERENA-6 data because this, in my mind, there we have a practice-changing trial. I will immediately be trying to use this in my PD-L1 population because, to be honest, as a triple-negative breast cancer clinical specialist, when I get a patient with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who's PD-L1 positive, I think, "Oh, thank God," because we know that part of the disease just does better in general. But now I have something that really could give them a durable response for much longer than I ever thought possible when I started really heavily treating this disease. And so, this was immediately practice-changing for me. Dr. Allison Zibelli: I think that it's pretty clear that this is at least an option, if not the option, for this group of patients. Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, the duration of responses here was – it's just really important because, I mean, I do think this will make people live longer. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, moving on to the final study that we're going to discuss today, neoCARHP (LBA500), which was neoadjuvant taxane plus trastuzumab, pertuzumab, plus or minus carbo(platin) in HER2-positive early breast cancer. I think this is a study a lot of us have been waiting for. What was the design and the results of this trial? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: I was really excited about this as well because I'm one of those people that was waiting for this. This is a Chinese trial, so that is something to take note of. It wasn't an international trial, but it was a de-escalation trial which had become really popular in HER2-positive therapy because we know that we're overtreating HER2-positive breast cancer in a lot of patients. A lot of patients we're throwing the kitchen sink at it when maybe that is not necessary, and we can really de-escalate and try to personalize therapy a little bit better because these patients tend to do well. So, the standard of care, of course, in HER2-positive curative intent breast cancer with tumors that are greater than 2 cm is to give them the TCHP regimen, which is docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab. And that was sort of established by several trials in the NeoSphere trial, and now it's been repeated in a lot of different studies as well. And so, that's really the standard of care that most people in the United States use for HER2-positive curative intent breast cancer. This was a trial to de-escalate the carboplatin, which I was super excited about because many of us who treat this disease a lot think carbo is the least important part of the therapy you're giving there. We don't really know that it's necessary. We've just been doing it for a long time, and we know that it adds a significant amount of toxicity. It causes thrombocytopenia, it causes severe nausea, really bad cytopenias that can be difficult in the last few cycles of this to manage. So, this trial was created. It randomized patients one to one with stage 2 and 3 HER2-positive breast cancer to either get THP, a taxane, pertuzumab, trastuzumab, similar to the what we do in first-line metastatic HER2-positive versus the whole TCHP with a carboplatin AUC of 6, which is what's pretty standard. And it was a non-inferiority trial, so important there. It wasn't to establish superiority of this regimen, which none of us, I think, were looking for it to. And it was a modified intent-to-treat population. And so, all patients got at least one cycle of this to be assessed as a standard for an intent-to-treat trial. And so, they assumed a pCR rate of about 62.8% for both groups. And, of course, it included both HER2-positive triple positives and ER negatives, which are, you know, a bit different diseases, to be honest, but we all kind of categorize them and treat them the same. And so, this trial was powered appropriately to detect a non-inferiority difference. And so, we had about 380 patients treated on both arms, and there was an absolute difference of only 1.8% of those treated with carbo versus those without. Which was fantastic because you really realized that de-escalation here may be something we can really do. And so, the patients who got, of course, the taxane regimen had fewer adverse events. They had way fewer grade 3 and 4 adverse events than the THP group. No treatment-associated deaths occur, which is pretty standard for- this is a pretty safe regimen, but it causes a lot of hospitalizations due to diarrhea, due to cytopenias, and neutropenic fever, of course. And so, I thought that this was something that I could potentially enact, you know, and be practice-changing. It's hard to say that when it's a trial that was only done in China, so it's not necessarily the United States population always. But I think for patients moving forward, especially those with, say, a 2.5 cm tumor, you know, node negative, those, I'd feel pretty comfortable not giving them the carboplatin here. Notes that I want to make about this population is that the majority were stage 2 and not stage 3. They weren't necessarily your inflammatory HER2-positive breast cancer patients. And that the taxane that was utilized in the trial is a little different than what we use in the United States. The patients were allowed to get nab-paclitaxel, which we don't have FDA approval for in the first-line curative intent setting for HER2-positive breast cancer in the United States. So, a lot of them got abraxane, and then they also got paclitaxel. We tend to use docetaxel every 3 weeks in the United States. So, just to point out that difference. We don't really know if that's important or not, but it's just a little bit different to the population we standardly treat. Dr. Allison Zibelli: So, are there patients that you would still give TCHP to? Dr. Rebecca Shatsky: Yeah, great question. I've been asked that a lot in the past like week since ASCO. I'd say in my inflammatory breast cancer patients, that's a group I do tend to sometimes throw the kitchen sink at. Now, I don't actually use AC in those because I know that that was the concern, but I think the TRAIN-2 trial really showed us you don't need to use Adriamycin in HER2-positive disease unless it's like refractory. So, I don't know that I would throw this on my stage 3C or inflammatory breast cancer patients yet because the majority of this were not stage 3. So, in your really highly lymph node positive patients, I'm a little bit hesitant to de-escalate them from the start. This is more of a like, if there's serious toxicity concerns, dropping carbo is absolutely fine here.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Colleton County, South Carolina, to discuss the case of Cristina Pangalangan, a teenager girl living with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and scoliosis. She was non-verbal and depended on her mother, Rita, for all of her day to day needs. Although, Rita, who was a school teacher, had been on CPS's radar, nothing was ever done to remove Cristina from her care. But in August of 2019, tragedy stuck after Rita left her daughter in the back of her Volkswagen Jetta for 6 hours in the scorching Carolina heat in her boyfriend's driveway, while the two smoked meth and hooked up inside.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Materials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qBdYA7SIa8  https://people.com/cristina-pangalangan-hot-car-death-mother-boyfriend-abuse-11735335 https://www.kcrg.com/2023/09/03/couple-found-guilty-death-13-year-old-with-cerebral-palsy-left-car/ https://abcnews4.com/news/local/potential-settlement-reached-in-2019-colleton-county-hot-car-death-case-wciv-abc-news-4-cristina-pangalangan-rita-pangalangan-larry-king-south-carolina-department-of-social-services-walterboro-police-department https://www.spreaker.com/episode/disabled-daughter-left-in-hot-car-cristina-pangalangan-story-rita-pangalangan-interrogation--64665115 https://scsolicitor14.org/couple-who-left-quadriplegic-child-locked-in-car-guilty-in-childs-death/ https://www.live5news.com/2023/09/02/jury-finds-couple-guilty-death-13-year-old-colleton-county/ https://www.briceherndonfuneralhome.com/obituary/CristinaAnn-Pangalangan#tributewall https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/201925697/cristina_ann-pangalangan https://www.wikicelebs.com/cristina-pangalangan-wiki/ https://abcnews4.com/news/local/cristina-pangalangan-delayed-murder-trial-painful-for-loved-ones-of-walterboro-colleton-girl-left-to-die-in-hot-car-2019-wciv https://walterborolive.com/stories/cristina-ann-pangalangan,20757? https://www.islandpacket.com/news/local/crime/article284286478.html https://scdailygazette.com/briefs/difficult-conviction-after-13-year-old-girls-death-leads-to-bill-raising-age-limit-for-neglect/ https://www.live5news.com/2023/09/02/jury-finds-couple-guilty-death-13-year-old-colleton-county/ https://www.live5news.com/2019/08/07/authorities-identify-year-old-girl-who-died-after-being-left-car-2/ https://www.live5news.com/2023/08/29/testimony-begins-murder-trial-disabled-13-year-old-colleton-co/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/news/she-died-alone-hot-car-160000613.html https://www.walb.com/2019/08/12/woman-arrested-leaving-kids-car-week-after-mother-charged-with-murder-leaving-girl-car/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw1TKl6HNVY

Are you ready for the biggest shift happening in utility-scale solar right now?The transition from central to string inverters is revolutionizing how we build and operate massive solar farms across America. In this eye-opening episode, Luke Schlichte, Utility Sales Representative at CPS America (Chint Power Systems), breaks down why this technological shift is happening and what it means for the future of utility solar.Luke reveals the stark reality of underperformance plaguing utility-scale solar in the US, where some 200MW projects have experienced as low as 14% uptime after their first year. The culprit? Central inverters creating catastrophic single points of failure that can take entire megawatt blocks offline for weeks or even months at a time.Key topics covered in this episode:Why string inverters eliminate catastrophic downtime risksThe financial impact of inverter choice on long-term asset performanceHow CPS's 350kW string inverter (the world's most powerful) is changing the gameDistributed vs. skidded design approaches for utility solarMaintenance and servicing advantages that save time and moneyWhy specialized technician shortages make string inverters essentialReal-world case studies of projects switching from central to stringLuke explains how modern high-power string inverters like CPS's 350kW unit offer the modularity benefits of string technology while matching the economics of central inverters. With features like 15 MPPTs per inverter and full power output up to 45°C, these aren't your typical rooftop string inverters.Whether you're an asset owner, EPC contractor, or anyone involved in utility-scale solar development, this episode provides crucial insights into technology choices that can make or break project profitability. Luke shares how CPS's unique approach of studying returned inverters in their labs drives continuous innovation and why they view themselves as partners for the entire project lifecycle.Connect with Luke SchlichteLinkedIn: Luke SchlichteWebsite: CPS America Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Olga Wilson to the podcast. Olga is a mom, an immigrant and a survivor of systemic abuse within the California family court system. She came on the podcast to speak on behalf of all parents suffering through this system who have been silenced, targeted and retaliated against for doing what any decent parent would do: PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN.     What Olga found, unfortunately, when she came to this country from Russia 12 years ago, she saw for herself the corruption, collusion and cruelty.  In Butte County, California, Olga lost custody of her daughter without a trial, evidence and without a voice. Her interpreter was giving wrong responses and calling her an "applicant," instead of a Petitioner. There were transcription discrepancies. Despite video-recorded disclosures of abuse, reports from mandated reporters and her own efforts to seek help, Olga was mocked in open court, threatened with jail and labeled a "vexatious litigant," while legally kidnapping her daughter.    The evidence has either been sealed, ignored or erased. The truth of this case had to fit a false narrative for the family court to keep the case going. To Reach Olga Wilson:   olgavwilson@gmail.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

This PedsCases episode based on the CPS position statement will give you an approach to the evaluation and management of enuresis in the general pediatric setting. By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) define enuresis in the general pediatric setting, 2) identify the key points in history taking for a child with enuresis, 3) determine appropriate investigations for a child presenting with enuresis, 4) recognize which situations need intervention and select appropriate treatment for enuresis, and 5) establish the proper follow-up for the child and their family. Today's episode was created by Anne-Sophie Munger, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Montreal, in collaboration with Dr. James Harris, a community-based pediatrician from the University of British Columbia. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.

On today's episode, we dive into the Trump vs. Musk saga—has their famous bromance finally come to an end? We're also breaking down the controversy around Trump sending National Guard troops to LA to confront protesters. Plus, our reactions to Tyler Perry's latest movie, *Straw*. And in a shocking twist, CPS has been called on young internet sensation Ms. Shirley—but was it really warranted? All this and more, right here on Culture No Cap!

A heartfelt conversation with Captain Adam A. Meyers, CPS.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 180  -  Brotherhood, Baseball & Saying Goodbye: Faith and Sports in Life's Toughest Moments After a short break, Church Pew Sports returns with a powerful blend of sports talk and soul-level reflections. Hosted by Bill Hobson alongside co-hosts Pastor Paul Miller, Scott Holmgren, and David Collins, this episode begins with a spirited dive into the Detroit Tigers' surprising rise, the evolving landscape of Major League Baseball, and how the NCAA's historic settlement is reshaping college sports as we know it. The guys take on hot topics with their usual insight and humor—from the puzzling economics of baseball contracts (will Chris Ilitch pay Tarek Skubal what he's worth?) to the quirks of umpiring in an era of automated calls and helmet taps. They also unpack how the MLB app, shifting sports commentary trends, and changes in TV contracts are affecting fan engagement. But what sets this episode apart isn't just the sports commentary—it's the deeply personal turn the conversation takes near the end. In the final segment, Pastor Paul Miller shares an emotional update on the recent loss of his 94-year-old father, a moment that brings the meaning of Church Pew Sports into sharp focus. His honest reflections on caregiving, grief, and what it means to be supported by a “band of brothers” will resonate with every listener who has navigated loss or leaned on friends through tough times. This segment powerfully reminds us that while sports are fun and important, they also serve as the backdrop for deeper connections—between fathers and sons, between friends, and within the podcasting community itself. Paul's words are a tribute not only to his father but to the strength found in friendship, faith, and brotherhood. In true Church Pew fashion, the episode ends with encouragement for men everywhere: stay connected. In a world that often isolates, this podcast is a living example of what happens when men show up for each other—on and off the mic. Whether you came for the baseball or stayed for the brotherhood, this episode delivers on every level. --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

    Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes William Sewell. William, an only child, is from the Lowcountry of South Carolina where apparently "anything goes" in family court, just like everywhere else in this country and GLOBALLY.      William highlighted the corruption going on in his case where he and his ex agreed to coparent their only child after the divorce....until an attorney got involved. Showing the patterns of corruption in the courts beautifully, William explained not only the corruption, but the collusion revolving around Attorney Donnie Gamache. Gamache, who happens to know everybody from the third-party parasites Guardian ad Litems (GAL), to CPS. Another bad actor is the third-party parasite GAL, Jason Wheeler, who William is being extorted to pay a $25,000.00 fee cap, which enables Wheeler to be part of the hearing....Or  William may go to jail.     Lying, perjury and child psychological abuse is allowed in the family courts and William's case has fallen prey to the bad actors allowing it, such as Judge M. Kimmons. The obstruction of justice, witness tampering and trying to obtain 50/50 custody of his only child has now forced him into poverty...And the precarious position of self representation and possibility of incarceration.    Having court this Monday, 6-9-2025, William is questioning if he may go to jail if he can't pay the GAL's extortion fee.

In tonight's episode, the Night Owl team returns to Freddo ATX — a cozy café and bar tucked inside a stunning Victorian home at the corner of South Congress and Oltorf in Austin, Texas. In their previous visit, they gathered stories from the owners, staff, and a local ghost tour group that routinely stops at the property. The reports were unsettling: a heavy, foreboding presence on the first floor, strange thuds and disembodied voices, whispered names, phantom footsteps, and sightings of a woman — and even children — in the upstairs windows. The sightings were so frequent, someone once threatened to call CPS. Still, with Freddo only occupying the house since 2021, the staff aren't quite sure what — or who — might be haunting the place. Some point, half-jokingly, to the home's most famous former resident: Walter Tips — a rags-to-riches entrepreneur who rose to become one of Austin's most successful merchants and eventually a Texas state senator. He lived — and died — in this home. But could he still be here? And if so, could there be others trying to make themselves known?Tonight, the team returns to Freddo, joined by not one, not two, but three psychic mediums — all with no prior knowledge of this location and blind to the address until arrival. Their goal: to validate the claims shared in Part I, and perhaps, uncover something entirely new. Photo by Meg BlohmEPISODE SPONSORS:SHADY RAYSThanks, Shady Rays.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Carrie Haight to the podcast. Carrie was last on Season 5, Episodes 185 and 221. Carrie has a Bachelor's in Politics and Pre-law and a Masters in Psychology and has been a licensed therapist for the last 20 years.     On her first podcast, titled, "No One Would Listen," we decided to go in-depth with the details of her case involving CPS to expose the false allegations of Munchausen by Proxy, in Morris County, New Jersey. All of this began with a threatening text from her mother. Recordings prove this was a disgusting set up that almost cost Carrie the loss of her daughter who is genuinely ill.    At present her daughter is under the care of  two major hospitals and a complex medical team under the one hospital. When asked if Carrie will 'just forget this happened,' Carrie answers, "this was life altering and she has lost four years of her life."To Reach Carrie Haight:  dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

This episode involves discussions of sensitive topics, including domestic violence. Please take care of yourself as you listen. If you need to take a break, please do so. What does it mean to be a protective parent, especially while navigating trauma, abuse, or the child welfare system? In this episode of Down the Rabbit Hole, Samantha and Tracie are joined by Barbra Grimmer, a policy coordinator with years of experience in both domestic violence advocacy and child welfare. Together, they explore how the definition of protective parenting has evolved beyond checklists and rigid standards, and how survivors are often judged most harshly during their most vulnerable moments.

Tune in for a powerful episode on parenting, resilience, and reimagining how systems respond to survivors!

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 179 - Either/Or: Sports Debates, Loyalty, and Life Lessons In this lively and thought-provoking episode of Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson and Pastor Paul Miller welcome a brand-new guest: Pastor Mike Szoradi, a passionate Arizona sports fan and youth pastor with a strong Michigan family connection. What follows is a rapid-fire conversation packed with hot sports takes, irrational fan loyalty, and biblical life insights—all through the lens of sports. The crew kicks off with a fun introduction to Mike, diving into his long-suffering loyalty to the Arizona Cardinals and his love for the Phoenix Suns. But things heat up as the group launches into a round of “either/or” sports decisions—where bold takes are required, and no one's allowed to ride the fence. First up: should the Dallas Mavericks keep their draft lottery pick to select Cooper Flagg or trade it all for the proven greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo? Mike and Paul both make the case for Giannis, with Bill joining in agreement—highlighting not just Giannis' elite skills, but his calm demeanor and leadership qualities. Then the trio switches gears to compare playoff atmospheres—NBA vs NHL. While Mike's NBA loyalty is rooted in his Arizona upbringing, Bill gives the edge to the nail-biting overtime thrill of NHL postseason action. Paul, ever the balance-keeper, appreciates both but finds NBA storylines this year especially compelling. The show dives deeper into current sports controversies, including whether Michael Jordan will thrive as a broadcaster, the impact and perception of Draymond Green's behavior, and the possibility of Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson entering the MLB Hall of Fame now that their bans have been lifted. Mike urges accountability, while Bill suggests history—with all its blemishes—should still be preserved. Broadcasters like Rich Eisen and Pat McAfee also enter the discussion, with Mike favoring Eisen's polished style and Paul highlighting McAfee's fit with College GameDay. Bill agrees—McAfee may not suit daily sports talk, but he lights up the right setting. The group wraps with a debate on college football kickoff times (noon vs primetime), critiques of controversial sports media content and owner decisions, and a few standout sports stories—from Shohei Ohtani's surprise strikeout to heartfelt high school traditions. As always, the episode closes with a powerful spiritual reflection—this time on Proverbs 19:21—reminding listeners that many are the plans in a person's heart, but it's the Lord's purpose that prevails.

Send us a textWhen LaToya Richards' four-month-old daughter Harper fell from a changing table, what should have been a routine precautionary doctor's visit spiraled into a months-long nightmare that nearly destroyed their family. This powerful episode exposes the terrifying reality of medical kidnapping in blue states and how quickly parental rights can be stripped away by zealous government agencies.Bryce and LaToya Richards share the minute-by-minute account of their ordeal - from hospital staff who initially reassured them that changing table falls were common, to social workers who appeared at their door, to the seven officers with battering rams who came to forcibly remove their daughter. Their story reveals how exercising constitutional rights can be weaponized against parents, with CPS text messages later obtained through FOIA requests showing officials mocking their legal choices with comments like "it's their constitutional right, lol."The conversation takes listeners deep into the mechanics of how these systems operate. We discover the financial incentives driving child removal, how evidence that would exonerate parents is deliberately omitted from reports, and why conservative families appear to be disproportionately targeted. Though all medical tests eventually cleared the Richards of any wrongdoing, they faced a nearly year-long battle to be fully exonerated - a battle that ultimately drove them to leave Washington state for Texas.This episode isn't just a cautionary tale; it's a practical guide for parents. The Richards offer specific strategies for protecting your family, from understanding your rights to creating emergency plans. Their experience illuminates why more families are fleeing blue states and provides crucial information about how state residency affects jurisdictional protection of your children.Whether you're a parent concerned about government overreach or simply value constitutional freedoms, this conversation reveals uncomfortable truths about systems supposedly designed to protect our most vulnerable. Listen, share, and prepare - before your family faces a similar nightmare.Support the showLearn more about Conservative Ladies of America: Conservative Ladies of America - Conservative Ladies of AmericaEmail me: info@juliebarrett.usConnect with me on social!(2) FacebookJulie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) / X (twitter.com)IG: @realjuliebarrett Conservative Podcast | Julie Barrett Womansplaining
