  PHENIX reports on electromagnetic and hadronic observables in large data sets
of p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at various cms energies. Initial state
effects in cold nuclear matter are quantified by centrality dependent $\pi^0$,
$\eta$, reconstructed jets and $\psi\prime$ measurements. Using the first run
of the new EBIS ion source at RHIC, we report first results for particle flow
($v_1$ and $v_2$) and quarkonium production in U+U and Cu+Au collisions. Hot
matter created in Au+Au is characterized using event-plane dependent HBT and
dielectrons. Parton-medium interactions are investigated using high $p_T$
single hadrons, $\gamma$-hadron correlations and heavy flavor decay electrons
identified with the newly installed VTX detector.
