Fever after Immunization: Current Concepts and Improved Future Scientific Understanding
Fever is a common clinical complaint in adults and children with a variety of infectious illnesses, as well as a frequently reported adverse event following immunization. Although the level of measured temperature indicative of a \"fever\" was first defined in 1868, it remains unclear what role fever has as a physiologic reaction to invading substances, how best to measure body temperature and compare measurements from different body sites, and, consequently, how to interpret fever data derived from vaccine safety trials or immunization safety surveillance. However, even with many aspects of the societal, medical, economic, and epidemiologic meanings of fever as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) still elusive, it is a generally benign-albeit common-clinical sign. By standardizing the definition and means of assessment of fever in vaccine safety studies, thereby permitting comparability of data, we hope to arrive at an improved understanding of its importance as an AEFI.

Fever as an adverse event following immunization: case definition and guidelines of data collection, analysis, and presentation
Fever is endogenously generated and is distinguished from hyperthermia [1], which is a warming of the body caused by external environmental factors. Since temperature regulation occurs at the hypothalamic level, the temperature of blood bathing the thermoregulatory centers in the hypothalamus probably best reflects true core body temperature [2,3]. Because of known high background rates particularly of fever [61,62], any occurrence of fever should be compared to a control group (ideally by placebo-controlled double-blinded and randomized comparisons) or against a background rate. Because the definition itself defines a clinical entity without inference of a causal relation to a given exposure, the time interval between immunization and onset of the event cannot be part of the definition itself, but should be assessed as described in the guidelines.

100 REASONS to become a scientist or an engineer
[...]I am very grateful to have been able to return to science policy work and use my chemistry training to help bring good research to decision makers, in order to protect our health and environment from hundreds of millions of pounds of toxic chemicals in consumer products. Over the years, I realized that deducing the Earth's history is like solving a sudoku puzzle. Because we live on a dynamic planet, much of the evidence of the Earth's evolution has been obliterated by the ravages of time, like the blank squares in a sudoku puzzle. [...]my kids set the direction of my unusual approach to paleontology: Because I didn't have the option of doing frequent field research, I took my love of biology and dinosaurs into the lab.

Ueberroth, Eastern workers reach 5-year agreement
NEW YORK--Eastern Airlines' striking unions reached five-year agreements yesterday with Peter V. Ueberroth that apparently resulted in changes to Mr. Ueberroth's agreement to buy the airline from parent Texas Air Corp., sources said.

Ueberroth reportedly to buy Eastern
NEW YORK - Peter V. Ueberroth, the former baseball commissioner and Olympic impressario, is expected to announce today that his group has agreed to purchase Eastern Airlines from Texas Air Corp., the Associated Press learned late Tuesday. Ueberroth, whose group unexpectedly made a $464-million offer for Eastern last week and then withdrew the bid just as suddenly, traveled from his California home to New York on Tuesday night, and airline industry and baseball sources said Ueberroth expected the deal would be announced today. Sources close to Ueberroth had said Monday that Ueberroth was preparing a new, lower bid because of Eastern's agreement Friday to sell its prized Northeast shuttle to New York developer Donald J. Trump for $365-million.
