Floral Wedding Centerpiece:
Flowers used as summer wedding centerpieces are one of the most popular. In fact, flowers are not only used for summer weddings but in almost seasons when weddings are held. The best idea is to opt for flowers that bloom during summer season. Buying off-season flowers will be an expensive matter. One of the best options with flowers is to tie the flowers with a bright ribbon. During the summer months you can opt for roses and lilies in any color, vibrant purple poppies, yellow sunflowers, tall blue delphiniums, gladioli, snapdragons, or irises. Flowers can be used to design exquisite centerpieces. It is better to use flowers that go along with your coloration scheme. In fact, all white flowers are a great choice for a summer wedding. Add grasses and other fillers to give bouquets and floral arrangements a more natural look.
Candle Wedding Centerpiece:
Candle centerpieces are perfect for setting the romantic mood for summer wedding receptions. You can use candle centerpieces for both indoor and outdoor wedding reception. For a summer wedding reception, the best way to use candles is by placing it in a small transparent bowl with sands or rocks. Else you can use floating candles in a shallow clear bowl or dish. For an artistic touch, put summer flowers on the base of the candle. This will make the centerpiece bright and colorful. If you are budget-conscious you can make your own candles at home instead of buying expensive candles from the market. While using candle centerpieces make sure that it dies not hinder guests sitting in the same table from seeing each other.

Or else you can purchase small candelabras and you can have a wonderful gift to give your special wedding guests as these candelabras can be used time after time. This gift will bring back memories of your wedding reception for years.

Teapots wedding centerpieces will add a delicate touch to the reception tables. One simple idea is to use delicate teapots just as it is. Just use some satin cloth to highlight its beauty. You can also use tea cups and plates along with the tea pots. This is one of the top wedding centerpeice ideas for summer weddings.
Fresh Fruits Wedding Centerpiece:
Fresh fruit summer wedding centerpieces can be artistic and an edible item at the reception table. Use flower-shaped pieces of pineapple and melon and put them to skewers and your wedding centerpiece is ready. For a simple and colorful style, carve flower shapes into a whole pineapple and decorate it with other fruits. Another popular fresh fruit centerpiece is a carved watermelon basket filled with chunks of assorted fruit. Also piles of whole fruit can be stacked in a bowl and left plain to create a large centerpiece. Fruits that can be used in a summer wedding centerpiece are watermelons, pineapples, grapes, cherries, apples and strawberries. This is one of the best inexpensive wedding centerpiece ideas.
Simple Vase Wedding Centerpiece:
When it comes to centerpieces for a summer wedding, simplicity can be a great hit when it comes to vases. One or two flowers in a simple vase can bring a stunning look to the reception table. For instance a single gerbera daisy in a stem vase is breathtakingly beautiful, yet simple when used as a summer wedding centerpiece. Gerbera daisies have a whimsical look that is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor wedding receptions. Instead of gerbera daisies you can also use a single white rose if you want an elegant and romantic look. For the vase it is better it use a simple, clear cylinder-shaped vase. You can also use wavy vases in different colors.
Beach Themed Wedding Centerpiece:
Summer is the time when people love to go to the beaches and then why not beach-themed summer wedding centerpieces for a wedding reception. For a casual beach themed centerpiece, you can use a bucket filled with sand, starfish and seashells. Or you can fill a clear glass vase with seashell and tie a water-blue ribbon bow around the top of the vase. Now add an arrangement of faux orchids for a delicate style. Another popular concept is to use a beach towel wedding cake edged with small seashells or flowers for a centerpiece.
Flowers and Fruits Wedding Centerpiece:
With some slices of fruit and some bold blooms, fruit and flowers can be combined together to have a dramatic, distinctive wedding centerpiece. Summer season has got plenty of options for flowers and fruits. Use the bright colors of both flowers and fruits to make an attractive wedding centerpiece for summer wedding receptions. One simple idea is to use a large clear vase with slices of lemon, limes or other citrus fruit. Flowers can be places outside the vase. A collection of lilies or a couple of large roses all look beautiful when paired with fruit. In fact, use can use a mixture of exotic fruits and flowers in various forms to show your creative and artistic side.

CommVault and Symantec Square Off in the Battle for Backup
Last week Josef Pfeiffer, a Symantec NetBackup product manager, posted a comment in response to a blog entry that I wrote regarding the CommVault® Simpana® 9 release. In his comment, he touched on one of the new debates in the enterprise battle for backup by posing the following question, "Why not upgrade to the latest release (NetBackup 7) and get more functionality rather than settle for less features and a big migration that may or may not work?"
Now as to whether or not Simpana 9 has less features that NetBackup 7 as Pfieffer claims, I an unsure as I have never gone through and done an in-depth side-by-side comparison of each and every feature contained in each product. However it is fairly clear that a number of the features that CommVault announced in Simpana 9 have been available in NetBackup for some time. This includes source side deduplication, broad support for storage array based snapshots and capacity based licensing as Pfeiffer mentions.
In this sense, CommVault only puts itself back on equal footing with NetBackup by introducing these features into Simpana 9. Further, there are other features that for now CommVault does not yet have a good answer.
For instance, CommVault does media server based deduplication (as NetBackup does) but CommVault still does not offer integration with target-based deduplication solutions such as what Symantec's OpenStorage API (OST) offers for EMC Data Domain or even EMC NetWorker now provides with its DD Boost technology. Whether or not CommVault plans to offer that type of functionality in the future is still unclear.
But in speaking with CommVault customers, the reason that they cite and why I see CommVault continuing to have success in the battle for backup is not entirely due to the number of features that CommVault offers. Rather it goes more to how CommVault is delivering the features it does support by first seeking to automate the deployment of these features and then automating the management of these features after they are deployed.
This brings to mind a conversation that I had with a few members of EMC's Backup and Recovery Services (BRS) team a few weeks ago. DCIG and SMB Research are jointly putting together a Virtual Server Backup Software Buyer's Guide and we were discussing a few of the questons in the survey to which EMC was responding as it had some questions about it.
During that conversation, EMC made a statement that struck me. It said, "We can respond 'yes' to almost any one of these questions in the survey because the functionality is inherently present in the product. It is more of a matter of how you want those features delivered."
As a former end user and now a business owner, I know how I want features presented. I want a button to push (in a GUI) or, even better yet, a policy that automatically pushes the button for me and warns me when pushing the button is not working or will cause something else to fail.
Just having a feature present in the product that requires me to build scripts is only valuable when the business problem that I am having makes it imperative that I learn how to implement that script so I can leverage that feature and get back to running my business. Further, I will likely only implement that feature on that one application that needs its functionality.
I think this illustrates the biggest differentiator between CommVault and Symantec. As of right now, CommVault is doing a better job of automating the delivery and management of the features that it currently supports than Symantec. So even though Symantec may offer more technical features than CommVault and has even offered these features for a longer period of time, based upon what I have learned in talking to former NetBackup users who have switched to CommVault users, NetBackup's features are not always as easy to automate.
I had one such conversation with Herbalife's Principal IT Engineer, Andy Hansen, and blogged about it a little over a year ago. Three specific areas to which he pointed to as his reasons for switching to CommVault had little to do with a side-by-side comparison of the features of the two products. In fact, he found Symantec and CommVault comparable in the features that mattered in his environment. Rather his reasons for switching to CommVault included:
- Using CommVault, backup went from a position requiring a FTE to a task that could be managed as part of another FTE's responsibilities.
- CommVault automated the backup and recovery of his Oracle databases
- No extra backup reporting software was necessary
Now did some of his success have something to do with using disk instead of tape as his primary backup target? I would argue yes. But what ultimately swayed his decision to select CommVault over Symantec was the degree to which CommVault had integrated and automated the delivery and then the ongoing management of its features into its core product (at that time, Simpana 8.)
I also deduce that Hansen is still pleased with his CommVault implementation as a video clip of him speaking appeared on last week's Simpana 9 launch webcast and virtual show.
So is NetBackup ahead of Simpana 9 in the features that it offers? Uncertain but for the sake of argument, let's say yes. But are the two close enough in the number of features that they offer that intangibles such as automation and the ease of management after software deployment are starting to take priority in users' minds over feature functionality? I would say absolutely yes.
In fact, my gut also tells me that Symantec recognizes this shift in customer sentiment is occurring and is part of the reason that Symantec is putting so much emphasis on "Working smarter, not harder." Further, having attended Symantec Vision this past spring, in conversations I have had with Symantec since and then monitoring its ongoing announcements, it also clear that this initiative is taking priority at Symantec and that it is making good progress on delivering on this initiative.
So in trying to answer Pfieffer's question as to whether or not enterprise organizations should upgrade or migrate their backup software, it really depends on what they are trying to accomplish. But my sense is that more organizations are starting to place a premium on software that automates and simplifies the initial deployment and/or upgrade and then its ongoing management.
This means that decisions as to whether to upgrade a current backup software or migrate to another one is now being heavily influenced by how well the backup software provider can answer and then prove during testing that it can automate the deployment and management of tasks that are now frequently done in a manual fashion.

I have been an avid reader of this site for some time now, but I am starting to find that the distinction between independent commentary and informed, insightful third party analysis is rather blurred.
It is highlighted in your "About Us" page that:
DCIG's goal is to provide informed, insightful third party analysis and commentary through both sponsored and unsponsored content delivered in the form of blog entries, case studies, product reviews, special reports and executive, standard and full-length white papers..
Reading the above post and the post relating to this post, it occurred to me that you are not really providing informed, insightful third party analysis.
As below in your "About Us" I can now understand why your commentary is slanted towards CommVault.
Contractual Disclaimers

DCIG is paid a fee by CommVault® Systems, Inc. in connection with this blog. CommVault® undertakes no obligation to update, correct or modify any statements contained in this blog; these statements represent the views and opinions of DCIG only.
I am a firm believer in transparency and I believe that it should be made clear to your readers of your affiliation with CommVault when posting informed, insightful third party analysis or commentary on CommVault and a direct competitors(Such as EMC,Symantec, IBM etc)
This way it makes it fair for all who read your posts to understand the difference between a real independent informed, insightful third party analysis and a sponsored informed, insightful third party analysis.
I previously posted my dissatisfaction with the DCIG 2011 Virtual Server Backup Software Buyer's Guide and know knowing that you have a paid affiliation with CommVault it should have been disclosed in the buyers guide so everyone who read this could make an informed decision on the content.
Same goes for any company sponsoring DCIG. Today it is CommVault, tomorrow it could be Symantec. As long as there is full disclosure and transparency everyone wins.
Just my opinion.
Collective Grooves,
Thanks for the feedback but as I have mentioned in response to prior comments you have left, for me to answer any of your particular concerns, it is DCIG's policy that you provide your full name, a valid company email address and the company you work for before I respond.

Conjunctival inflammation typically results from infection, allergy, or irritation. Symptoms are conjunctival hyperemia and ocular discharge and, depending on the etiology, discomfort and itching. Diagnosis is clinical; sometimes cultures are indicated. Treatment depends on etiology and may include topical antibiotics, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and corticosteroids.
Infectious conjunctivitis is most commonly viral or bacterial and is contagious. Rarely, mixed or unidentifiable pathogens are present. Numerous allergens can cause allergic conjunctivitis (see Allergic Conjunctivitis). Nonallergic conjunctival irritation can result from foreign bodies; wind, dust, smoke, fumes, chemical vapors, and other types of air pollution; and intense ultraviolet light of electric arcs, sunlamps, and reflection from snow.
Conjunctivitis is typically acute, but both infectious and allergic conditions can be chronic. Conditions that cause chronic conjunctivitis include ectropion, entropion, blepharitis, and chronic dacryocystitis.
Any source of inflammation causes lacrimation or discharge and diffuse conjunctival vascular dilation. Discharge may cause the eyes to crust overnight. Thick discharge may blur vision, but once discharge is cleared, visual acuity should be unaffected.
Itching and watery discharge predominate in allergic conjunctivitis. Chemosis and papillary hyperplasia also suggest allergic conjunctivitis. Irritation or foreign body sensation, photophobia, and discharge suggest infectious conjunctivitis; purulent discharge suggests a bacterial cause. Severe eye pain suggests scleritis (see Scleritis).
Usually, diagnosis is made by history and examination (see also Table 1: Differentiating Features in Acute Conjunctivitis), usually including slit-lamp examination with fluorescein staining of the cornea and, if glaucoma is suspected, measurement of intraocular pressure. Meticulous disinfection of equipment that touches the eye is particularly important in patients who could have conjunctivitis.
Other disorders can cause a red eye (see Red Eye). Deep pain in the affected eye when a light is shone in the unaffected eye (true photophobia) does not occur in uncomplicated conjunctivitis and suggests a disorder of the cornea or anterior uvea. Circumcorneal conjunctival hyperemia (sometimes described as ciliary flush) is caused by dilated, fine, straight, deep vessels that radiate out 1 to 3 mm from the limbus, without significant hyperemia of the bulbar and tarsal conjunctivae. Ciliary flush occurs with uveitis, acute glaucoma, and some types of keratitis but not with uncomplicated conjunctivitis.
The cause of conjunctivitis is suggested by clinical findings. However, cultures are indicated for patients with severe symptoms, immunocompromise, a vulnerable eye (eg, after a corneal transplant, in exophthalmos due to Graves disease), or poor response to initial therapy.
Clinical differentiation between viral and bacterial infectious conjunctivitis is not highly accurate. However, if the history and examination strongly suggest viral conjunctivitis, withholding antibiotics initially is appropriate. Antibiotics can be prescribed later if the clinical picture changes or if symptoms persist.

Discharge/Cell Type
Eyelid Edema
Node Involvement

Moderate to severe
Mild to intense
Most infectious conjunctivitis is highly contagious and spreads by droplet, fomites, and hand-to-eye inoculation. To avoid transmitting infection, physicians must wash their hands thoroughly and disinfect equipment after examining patients. Patients should wash their hands thoroughly after touching their eyes or nasal secretions, avoid touching the noninfected eye after touching the infected eye, avoid sharing towels or pillows, and avoid swimming in pools. Eyes should be kept free of discharge and should not be patched. Small children with conjunctivitis should be kept home from school to avoid spread. Cool washcloths applied to the eyes may help relieve local burning and itching. Antimicrobials are used for certain infections.

Single Solution-Partnering with Guard Service
Taking a stand in the security industry
The security guard industry has taken a lot of heat since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Accusations that security guards offer a false sense of security, guards lacking training for emergency situations, security breaches and on-duty guards serving without proper certification and background checks are all valid arguments to support the idea that security guards may not be the best solution in protection. But despite all the accusations, one thing is clear. Security guard companies are not going away.
"The security guard industry is not only here to stay, it will improve and grow," said Laphonza Butler, national security campaign director for the Service Employees International Union. "The events of 9/11 have created the sense that America needs to be as safe as possible. People really feel and want the information and their personal properties to be as secure as possible."
With expected growth rates to reach 17 percent by 2016, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there will be nearly 1.5 million guards in the U.S. by 2010, up from the estimated 1.1 million in 2000. Decreasing numbers of U.S. guards in the years after 9/11 only added to the misconception placed on security guard services. Although the number of guards between 1999 and 2003 fell by 11 percent, the trend does not identify what guards at which sites the data pertains to.
"I don't see that the services industry has ever declined - I think that's a little bit misleading," said Don Walker, chairman, Securitas Security Services USA Inc. "There are periods of more rapid growth and than there are periods of less growth. I know that in the last 10 years there has been four to eight percent growth, so the industry in itself has not declined. What we are seeing is that the security industry has become more sophisticated and technology has taken a much larger piece of the total security picture, but the numbers of security officers has not declined."
Another factor that adds to the misconception of the guard service industry is in defining the exact role of a security officer. Although security guards may perform similar duties, their specific tasks and role on the premises they are monitoring depends greatly on their training.
Although 29 states do not require any type of training for security guards, many companies require additional training for each guard they employ. Alaska requires the most number of training, at 48 hours, while California, Florida and Oklahoma follow with a 40-hour minimum training requirement.
"With the high-risk and medium-risk environments our guards secure, the training level required of the officers can be very extensive" said Robert Burns, senior vice president of The Wackenhut Corp, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. "But the training can be far less for simplistic controlled access for lower-risk environments. Our officers in our custom protection division have to have law enforcement and/or military law enforcement experience, for which the training is extremely high. For us, customer specifics and environment-specific training is key."

After losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 100-94 Tuesday evening, the Lakers are now 3-8 in their last 11 games. And for the first time in Kobe Bryant's career, he is simply baffled.
"This is one of the most challenging stretches of my 17 years, and the most baffling, too, " an frustrated Kobe Bryant said. "We have the talent and personnel to do it, but we're not, and it's baffling. It's extremely frustrating. It doesn't make any sense. We're still finding ways to lose games. I'm very upset. When things get hard, you should get more determined, not shake your heads. It just seems when it rains it pours. It's like this cloud is following us around at all times. I'm one of the fastest guys on the team -- and I'm like 50. What does that tell you?"
The Lakers were supposed to be better after firing former head coach Mike Brown, but so far, Mike D'Antoni hasn't done any better thus far. "We played very uninspired basketball, offensively and defensively," said a distraught Mike D'Antoni. "We play at a very slow pace and we struggle. Maybe it shifts over to defense. Maybe we're slow. Maybe we can't do it. ... It's my job to fix it -- and that's what I'll do."
Magic Johnson, however, doesn't believe that Mike D'Antoni can fix it. Magic, who has always been vocal about his disapproval of Mike Brown, didn't hesitate to offer some choice words for D'Antoni as well.
"I've gotta adjust my system a little bit if I'm the coach. That's all," Johnson said. "His system doesn't fit the talent that the Lakers have. You can't run with this team. Who are the runners? You've got one guy who can get up and down the court and that's Kobe Bryant."
The Lakers organization is hopeful that the return of Steve Nash and Pau Gasol will fix their glaring problems, but their prolonged absence is a clear indication that this roster is too old for D'Antoni's system. Either the Lakers need to make a trade for Pau Gasol (Josh Smith) or D'Antoni needs to run more of a half court set where he utilizes his 7 footers. If not, this roster will be one of the most talented in NBA history, not even to make the playoffs.

Dry Arm Lotions
Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Dry Arms
Some new moms have skin that feels like a cold defeathered chicken. As a mom–to–be, I developed a rash of bumps to the backside of my upper arms. Embarrassed about the condition, I confided in my pregnant buddy who told me she was dealing with the same thing. I consulted a dermatologist who diagnosed the condition as keratosis pilaris. KP is a common skin disorder that is characterized by "chicken skin" or bumpiness on the surface of the skin. He said that many pregnant women develop KP while pregnant and it worsens when nursing due to further dehydration. Unfortunately, there's no sure remedy, but it does help to apply creams like TriCeram ($30) or KP Duty Derma Doctor ($36) right after you get out of the shower while your skin is still wet.
This time I am prepared and ready to handle my poultry–like limbs. So far, I am on a much smoother path to happiness.

The IC-202 first appeared in the mid 1970's and was extremely popular. It's single conversion design was simple in the days when commercial digital technologies were in their infancy, making it highly suitable for driving high power linear amplifiers and as an I.F. for microwave systems. Using a VXO operating at around 133MHz into a 10.7MHz I.F. this little radio produced a spectrally clean signal with low phase noise. The IC-202 was superseded the IC-202e, which was itself replaced by the IC-202S possessing a number of refinements, including the addition of LSB and sidetone. I had several IC-202's, including at least two IC-202S' and the companion IC-402 for 70cms, which were my constant companions for over 25 years and accompanied me on all my DX-peditions throughout the '80's and '90's. In May 1988, with the assistance of G4CYA and G8PNX I published a number of modifications to the IC-202 in the UK magazine, "Ham Radio Today". This publication is no longer available and so I'm providing a copy of the article here.
Perhaps the most limiting factor in the design was the lack of a digital readout, which is particularly important at V/UHF. The radio was originally designed to be hand portable and so the internal linear dial was considered adequate. There was, however, a problem in that the accuracy of the dial was affected by changes in the VXO frequency caused by seasonal temperature variations. Given that my radio was also in use as my base station this problem became more of an issue. I designed the digital display in the late '80's and several copies were made. The top left bezel on the fascia containing the red led was removed, making way for a small pcb containing the four digit miniature LED display. These were popular in the first digital watches but are now hard to source as the ubiquitious LCD types have superseded them in more modern equipment. I am continually surprised by the number of enquiries for details of the display, even after this long period of time and so I'm publishing what information I can find. Prospective builders will need to have ingenuity in sourcing components and in creating the miniature pcb's, which locate under the internal speaker.
The counter is based on the ICM7217A, which has a common Cathode multiplexed driver. As the device is only useful to around 5MHz the input from the IC-202 VXO is divided by 100 by the SP8629. The input to the counter is made via a small value capacitor in the range of 0.7pF ~ 2pF on the VXO output pcb. The BCD input is controlled by diodes to "add" the 10.7MHz I.F. offset to the VXO frequency to display 144MHz. Clocking is provided by the 7207 and a 5.24MHz xtal. A more detailed description of the circuit can be found in the Counter's Application notes.
Space is limited inside the IC-202 and so the counter is built on two pcb's, which are "piggy backed" above each other and mounted under the loudspeaker housing via the two holes that secure the internal tin plate screen. When the speaker is removed the original 1000uF capacitor mounted below should be removed and relocated to the 12V supply rail on main wiring block on the upper pcb. A 5v voltage regulator and 100uF capacitor are mounted on the tin plate before reassembly, which provides the supply for the counter.

so u just take ur shirt and
can we take a minute to appreciate the weird little disaster young avengers vol 2 turned out to be
i firmly believe that if glass doors existed on asgard, loki would've walked into them a lot as a child
inc'est la vie
a sitcom that slowly turns into psychological horror as the series progresses, while still keeping the low budget feel and laugh tracks and poorly timed jokes to create a contrast between the context and the characters, and to disorient the audience
oh, i'm sorry, is my skirt too short for you?
well, that sucks cause your dick is too short for me.
you can't see my dick but i can see ya skirt so ya argument is invalid
the fact that she can't see your dick may be enough validation
I bet Medusa used to take selfies and send em to people she disliked like surprise you little bitch
i never get disappointed w/ gifts because it's a thing that i now own and did absolutely nothing to deserve it. it's a new cool thing!!! is it a pair of socks? cool, new socks i didn't have before and now i do and didn't have to spend any of my own money to have them

Maintenance Rituximab May Improve Survival in Follicular Lymphoma
Key wordsRituximab (Rituxan®), follicular lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, maintenance therapy
In a pooled analysis of data from five clinical trials in patients with follicular lymphoma whose disease had relapsed or was resistant to treatment, those who received maintenance therapy with rituximab survived longer than those who did not receive maintenance therapy. However, this finding leaves unanswered the question of whether maintenance rituximab is superior to treatment with rituximab on relapse.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute, February 18, 2009 (see the journal abstract).
Follicular lymphoma is one of the most common kinds of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although the progression rate varies widely, follicular lymphoma typically progresses slowly and causes few symptoms. Patients with follicular lymphoma usually survive for at least 10 years after diagnosis.
Rituximab (Rituxan®) is a monoclonal antibody that has been used to treat various cancers of the blood (leukemia) and the lymphatic system (lymphoma). It has been used successfully, both alone and in combination with standard chemotherapy, in patients whose follicular lymphoma has recurred or proven resistant to other treatment. The addition of rituximab to first-line chemotherapy has been found to improve survival of patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma.
Maintenance therapy is treatment given to patients who have responded to initial, or induction, therapy to help keep their cancer in remission. The value of rituximab as maintenance therapy for patients with follicular lymphoma has been unclear.
The StudyAn international group of researchers searched the published literature for randomized controlled trials that compared survival of patients who received rituximab maintenance therapy with that of patients who did not receive maintenance therapy (control patients). Five trials were identified, and the data were pooled for analysis. In one trial, patients in the control group were given rituximab when their disease relapsed; in the other four trials, treatment at relapse in the control arm was not part of the studies and no information was provided on the use of subsequent rituximab.
The five trials involved a total of 1,143 adult patients with indolent, or slow-growing, lymphoma. Most of the patients had follicular lymphoma, and most had disease that had relapsed or was not responding to treatment (refractory). The trials were conducted between 1998 and 2004; two were conducted in the United States and the others were conducted in Europe and elsewhere.
Patients who had been randomly assigned to rituximab maintenance therapy received either a single infusion every two to three months or four weekly infusions every six months for two years. The median follow-up period ranged from a little over two years to about three and a half years. The study's principal investigator was Liat Vidal, M.D., of Rabin Medical Center in Israel.
Survival data were available for 985 patients with follicular lymphoma. In the pooled analysis of all five trials, patients who were treated with rituximab maintenance therapy had better overall survival than those who did not. The trials were also analyzed separately according to the type of control group (that is, whether or not rituximab was given at relapse to patients who had not received maintenance rituximab). Among patients in the four trials in which the control group did not receive rituximab at relapse, patients who received rituximab maintenance lived significantly longer than those who did not. Among patients in the single trial in which the control group did receive rituximab at relapse, survival was not improved in those who received rituximab maintenance treatment. However, this trial was too small to show whether one treatment approach was superior to the other.
In the overall analysis, a survival benefit of maintenance rituximab appeared to be restricted to patients with previously treated (that is, refractory or relapsed) follicular lymphoma; no such benefit was seen in patients who had not received previous treatment for follicular lymphoma.
Patients treated with rituximab maintenance therapy developed more severe infections and other adverse effects than patients in the control group.
The five studies used a variety of induction therapy regimens--chemotherapy alone (one trial), rituximab alone (two trials), and chemotherapy with or without rituximab (one trial). The use of different induction regimens could have reduced the comparability of the trials. In addition, three of the five trials were stopped earlier than initially planned, which could have inflated the estimates of treatment benefit. Finally, only one of the trials compared maintenance rituximab with rituximab given at relapse.
This analysis confirms the value of rituximab in extending the lives of patients with follicular lymphoma, says Wyndham Wilson, M.D., head of the Lymphoma Therapeutics Section of the National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research. However, he adds, it does not answer the question of whether patients treated with maintenance rituximab live longer than patients who receive rituximab when their disease relapses.
"We know that patients with follicular lymphoma benefit from treatment with rituximab," says Wilson. "But we cannot conclude from this analysis that maintenance therapy is the optimal approach to administering rituximab."
The current standard of care in the United States is to treat patients with follicular lymphoma with rituximab when their disease relapses after initial chemotherapy, notes Wilson. The findings of this analysis do not justify changing that standard, he concludes.

Residents living in a stretch of Radford Avenue reached out to 8News Monday after nearly two months in the dark.
According to residents, the street lights illuminating the 4600 and 4700 blocks of Radford Avenue in Richmond have been dark since storms knocked out power to the area in late June. After 8News started investigating, the lights came back on.
When the storms came through on June 25th, winds toppled a tree in the neighborhood, taking down a power line. While power was restored quickly to homes in the area, the street lights have remained dark, causing residents to worry for their safety.
"The neighbors and myself have been continually calling Dominion Virginia Power," said Marilyn Creech, who lives on Radford Avenue. "It just seems like no matter what we do Dominion will not come and fix the problem."
"I think it creates a very bad situation," Creech said.
8News reporter Nate Eaton decided to call Dominion Virginia Power and inquire into the situation. Within an hour, Dominion crews showed up at the scene and began repair work. A spokesman said they had already been out to the neighborhood that morning and were already planning to start repair work Monday evening.
In a statement, Dominion said "We thank the neighbors for their patience. When streetlights are inoperable it poses a public safety issue, and safety is our most important focus."
Neighbors told us they think they would still be in the dark if 8News hadn't become involved.
"I do believe if you had not showed up no telling what century or year this would be fixed," said Creech. "We're very grateful you came out to do the story."
