Opening the oxytocin file drawer, one lab at a time
My first encounter with Moïra Mikolajczak was a couple of years ago. As I was writing a review on oxytocin and trust, I stumbled upon her work in Psychological Science. I was intrigued by her finding, that giving intranasal oxytocin to human subjects made them "trust" a computer more than it made them trust a human. This result contradicted a previous high profile publication claiming that oxytocin's effects were specific to interactions between humans. I asked Moïra to share her data.
Apart from the data, Moïra also shared her recent adventures as a behavioral oxytocin researcher in humans. After what had probably been beginners' luck, her lab could not replicate some of their initial findings. They had also failed to detect several of the effects expected from prominent behavioral oxytocin theories. She had just got back from a conference where she desperately tried to discuss her findings with several high-profile figures in the field. None were willing to share information about the amount of unpublished null findings in their labs.
The conversation with Moïra made me angry. Apart from socializing and drinking, the point of going to conferences is having researchers talk to each other about their work. True, in some cases scientists might have fears of getting scooped by others. But this is not the case for null results. Sharing your failures with other researchers is especially important: it can save them the time, money and frustration of chasing non-existing effects.
The chat with Moïra also made me hopeful. I was fortunate to meet an oxytocin researcher who was committed to finding the truth and understood the importance of transparent, collaborative scientific conduct. It sparked collaboration with Moïra and two of her colleagues in the university of Louvain, Anthony Lane and Olivier Luminet. Our project is published in this week's special issue on oxytocin in the journal of Neuroendocrinology.
Moïra's lab conducted quite a few oxytocin studies over the past decade. The experiments were methodologically similar to most other works in the field with respect to sample size and oxytocin administration procedures. But only one type of studies was publishable. Positive results were greeted with enthusiasm by editors and reviewers and found their homes in top journals. Negative (or "null") results got rejected time after time and were sent to the file drawer.
In one case, a high impact journal published a suspiciously large behavioral effect of oxytocin found in a single blind study (i.e., the experimenter interacting with the subjects knew what the hypothesis was, and which subjects received oxytocin / placebo) conducted in Moïra's lab. Her group failed to replicate their own findings twice, with larger samples and using a double blind protocol. The same exact journal rejected their (failed) replication paper.
Moïra saw a publication bias rapidly emerging in front of her own eyes and it became obvious that her publication profile no longer reflected what was really going on in the lab. She made a decision to clear her lab's file drawer, and publish all of her lab's studies in a single article. The numbers below summarize her lab's behavioral oxytocin research.[1]
Only a single task out of 25 produced a main effect of intranasal oxytocin: the task that failed to replicate twice (mentioned earlier). Five out of 25 experiments (20%) found significant interaction effects. It's important to keep in mind that the probability of a type I errors is quite high when exploring interactions, unless the p-values are corrected for multiple hypothesis testing. None of the interaction effects survived such correction.
Our newly published paper summarizes the results obtained in Moïra's lab in three meta-analyses that test the overall effects of intranasal oxytocin on (1) affective, (2) behavioral and (3) cognitive variables in isolation. Neither of these meta-analyses found a reliable effect. Finally, we meta-analyzed the studies based on their relation to three prominent theories: (1) oxytocin is an "affiliation" hormone; (2) oxytocin enhances saliency of social stimuli; (3) oxytocin facilitates approach behaviors. We could not reject the null hypothesis in either case.
To date, it is unclear how many unpublished oxytocin studies are lying in other labs' file drawers. Keeping in mind that the average statistical power in behavioral oxytocin literature in humans is extremely low (12%-16%), that seminal works has failed to replicate, and given the uncertainty surrounding the physiological effects of intranasal oxytocin administration (and whether the substance gets to brain regions involved in cognition and behavior), I find it hard to believe that Moïra's lab is an outlier. It is possible that hundreds (if not thousand) unpublished intranasal oxytocin studies are still lying in many labs' file drawers.
Moïra's lab has set exemplary standards of scientific transparency. I hope that other researchers will adhere to these standards and release their unpublished oxytocin data as soon as possible – and turn oxytocin research into a transparent scientific endeavor. This is crucial for estimating the true effects of oxytocin administration on various behavioral outcomes. Oxytocin has dramatic influences on social behaviors of animals, and despite all of the methodological difficulties some of the effects may reflect real phenomena. Opening the oxytocin file drawer will also save time, money and frustration for many oxytocin researchers.
[1] Some dependent variables were estimated using more than a single behavioral paradigm, and some studies included more than a single task – a practice that is common in many labs, which goal is maximizing the knowledge gained from each subject that is going through a pharmacological treatment.
Is the replication crisis in Psychology real?
A few months ago, a Science paper reported the results of an attempt to replicate 100 studies published in three top psychology journals between 2011-2014. The authors concluded:
"A large portion of replications produced weaker evidence for the original findings despite using materials provided by the original authors, review in advance for methodological fidelity, and high statistical power to detect the original effect sizes."
This week, Science published a commentary co-authored by Daniel Gilbert, a prominent Harvard psychologist, drawing the opposite conclusion from the same data:
"Indeed, the data are consistent with the opposite conclusion, namely, that the reproducibility of psychological science is quite high."
The authors of the psych replication paper have also published a response.
Together with these two letters, a research article co-authored by yours truly reports a multi-lab study attempting to replicate 18 experiments published in two leading economics journals, American Economic Review (AER) and the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) between 2011-2014.
Below are the results of the two projects juxtaposed. There are many possible metrics for measuring the replicability of a study. Here, I counted a "successful replication" as either a statistically significant (p<0.05) replication effect (green) or a statistically significant meta-analytic effect when combining the original study and the replication (blue).
As can be clearly seen from the results above, replication rates in the econ project were much higher than those of the psych project, albeit the number of studies was grater in the psych project.
In this post, I will try to articulate what I see as the main point of Gilbert et al.'s commentary and explore what the econ project can teach us about the state of the psych literature.
Causes of failure to replicate
A replication attempt can fail because of two main reasons:
- The original effect is not real. In other words, the original study is a false positive, or a "type I error".
- The original effect is real, but the replication could not detect it. In other words, the replication study was a false negative, or a "type II error".
We should update our beliefs regarding the true state of the world (e.g., "there is/ isn't a replication crisis") differently in these two cases.
The chance of successfully replicating in case (A) depends only on the original study; it will be low when replicating a false positive, regardless of the power of the replication study. This however is not the case for (B), where success depends on the replication's statistical power: the chance of successfully rejecting the null hypothesis given that the effect is real.
For a given effect size, increasing statistical power (and reducing the chance of case B's) can be achieved by increasing the number of participants in the replication. As running more subjects costs money and takes time, researchers typically set the replication's sample size to the minimum required for achieving sufficient statistical power (a standard power is between 80% and 90%). In practice, this is done using a mathematical formula, which is implemented by power calculators estimating the required sample size given the expected effect size.
But… what is the expected effect size in the replication?
It is difficult to determine exactly what effect size we should expect in the replication. If we knew, we wouldn't have to run the study, right? As a proxy, researchers typically use the effect size of the original study. This is reasonable, as the replication attempts to be as close as possible to the original study.
Gilbert et al.'s critique
All replications might differ from the original studies in many ways, from geographical locations and weather conditions to the point in history when they were conducted. A fresh example from the econ replication project is a study from 2011, reporting that inducing happiness decreases temporal discounting. The original study induced happiness by having participants watch a video of a performance by Robin Williams, who since then had committed suicide. The video manipulation failed to induce happiness in the replication study and the results did not replicate.
Since different subject pools are used across a study and its replication, there is plenty of reason to suspect that the pools might differ in important ways. Sometimes the behavioral task is also not perfectly replicated. As such, even if an effect were real, the effect size in a replication may be different than that in the original study – and relying on the original effect size for calculating statistical power would yield biased power calculations. This could potentially lead to more type II errors in the replication (case B).
Gilbert et al. bring several specific examples (that are addressed in the reply letter) for substantial differences between the original studies and the replication attempts of the psych project, that they call "infidelities". They claim that these "infidelities", together with differences between the subject pools, cause a bias that often works in one direction: against the chance of finding an effect.
Following the critique, I ran a few power calculations. The average effect size of replication studies in the psych project was about a half of the original, and in the econ project it was two thirds of it. Whatever the source of this shrinkage of effects in the replications may be [1] this suggests that reliance on the effect size of the original study might lead to underestimating the necessary sample size in the replication. This could lead to a greater chance of "case B" replication failures.
I calculated the chance of failing to detect a true effect when miscalibrating the power calculation with an overly optimistic effect size estimation (table below). The outcome is statistical power of only 58% if the (true) replication effect size is only two thirds of the original study and 38% if it were a half of it. These numbers closely match the replication rates of the econ and psych projects, correspondingly [2].
|Original effect size
|Required sample for .9 power
|Power achieved for a 2/3 effect size
|Power achieved for a 1/2 effect size
Moving forward: is there a replication crisis?
If we ignore several problems in the literature that we already know of (such as p-hacking and low statistical power) and accept the proposition that changes in the protocol more often introduce noise (rather than reduce it), Gilbert et al.'s interpretation holds water and the number of "successfully replicated" studies might be under-estimated. Does this mean that the "reproducibility of psychological science is quite high", as they claim?
Much of the discussion of replication results has focused on various different metrics of replication that are concerned with estimating the percentage of studies that "successfully" replicate according to various criteria. In the previous section, I have (hopefully) convinced you that if we can live with an average replication effect size that equals a half of the original study, replication rates of the psychology project were actually going as expected if all of their effects were real.
The psych project replicated studies published in three of the most prestigious and influential psych journals. Most of its authors are psychology PhDs, some are prominent professors with a long publication list in top journals. They have invested a lot of time and unprecedented amounts of money to make the replications as close as they could to the original studies. The project was completely transparent and all of the data was made publicly available. It seems obvious that its sincere goal was estimating the true state of the literature, rather than finding a "crisis".
So, if we accept Gilbert et al.'s criticism, there are only two possible conclusions.
- The original studies were too difficult to replicate directly without too many "infidelities". As replication is a crucial part of every scientific process, this is a major problem.
- Very little deviations from the original protocol have shrunk the (true) effects of studies published in three top psych journals by a half on average.
Now comes the key question: is this the type of robustness that social scientists can live with, or can we do much, much better?
If there's no much room for improvement, then the reproducibility of psychological science is quite high. But keep in mind, that psychological experiments are conducted in many different labs across the world and in many different points of time in history. The (ambitious) goal of psychological science is to find robust phenomena that inform general theories that tell us something about human behavior in the noisy world outside the lab. In order to make scientific progress, researchers must rely on the previous findings of their peers. If we can live with either of the two above conclusions, doesn't it mean that the entire endeavor of psychological science is a waste of time and resources?
This makes the econ replication project important.
Like in the psych project, replications were conducted in different sites, with different subject pools, different experimenters and in different points in history compared to the original studies. The a-priori power calculations that were used were the same as in the psych project. This means that the econ replications also relied on the original over-estimated effect sizes when calculating the required sample size. But the econ results were different. And they suggest that something else might be going on – that is beyond a statistical artifact caused by inevitable "infidelities" in the replication process.
There is a misconception that the word "crisis" in Chinese is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other opportunity. I will adopt this misconception here. Contrasting the results of the psych and econ replication projects showes that we can do much better. The replication crisis does exist, and it gives us hope for a brighter future.
In the next few posts, I will illuminate the differences in research practices between economics and psychology, and discuss whether they might have contributed to the differences in replication rates.
Disclosure: the author is neither an economist nor a psychologist
[1] The reason could be "infidelities", but also case (A) errors (original studies are false positives) and publication bias.
[2] Some of the original effects are likely false positives (case A), and therefore the power calculations are somewhat pessimistic.
The self-justification molecule: how have we accumulated a vast behavioral oxytocin literature for over a decade
OK, we get it. There is (still) no solid evidence that intranasally administrated oxytocin gets into the brain. Many studies used flawed techniques to measure oxytocin in the blood. The seminal works that inspired human oxytocin research do not replicate well. Still, there are so many reports of relationships between oxytocin and social behaviors. It is impossible that not a single one of these effects is real. Isn't it?
It is possible that some effects are real. But, in a world where only 36% of psychological experiments replicate, and prominent newspapers are easily fooled into making catchy headlines out of flawed studies published in obscure journals – it is a possibility we should seriously consider. And here's why.
In one of my favorite psychological studies, Shaul Shalvi and colleagues investigated the drivers of dishonest behavior. Subjects had a single opportunity to privately roll a 6-sided die and then report the outcome to the experimenter. Subjects had been instructed that they would get paid, in cash, based on their reports: for example, if one reported "5", she or he would be paid $5. This gave subjects financial incentives to lie and report high numbers, regardless of the true outcomes.
Some subjects indeed lied, but the distribution of reported outcomes showed that only a small fraction of them did. Despite the financial incentive, and even without a chance of getting caught, subjects reported high outcomes only slightly more often than low outcomes.
But it only took a slight change in the instructions to turn many subjects into liars. In a follow up study, subjects were instructed to roll the die three times – and only report the first outcome. The frequency of "high outcomes" was strikingly greater this time. A simple analysis revealed that subjects reported the highest of the three throws, instead of reporting the first outcome. Giving people a self-justification opportunity (they did see a high outcome after all, right?) made it psychologically easier to break the rules.
When scientists run a study that examines a false hypothesis and use a statistical test to evaluate its outcomes, what they do is statistically equivalent to rolling a 20-sided die (D&D, anyone?). The norm is that scientists must predict (before rolling the die) what the outcome would be (for example, "20") and report a positive finding only if this was indeed what they had found. This practice is supposed to assures that only 5% of the false results will be reported.
Glimpsing through the scientific literature in most fields (oxytocin research is no different), one can easily tell that most of the reports are of positive discoveries. This reflects a well-known publication bias: scientists selectively report only positive findings – that are more likely to get published in top journals– and store their negative findings in their file drawers. This means that the number of positive reports does not depend only on the true state of the world, but also on the overall number of studies that are conducted. If researchers roll the 20-sided dice many times, selectively report the "20"s, but store all of the "1"s, "2s" and the rest of the outcomes deep in their file drawers, we are assured to get many positive reports of false findings.
How bad is this problem? Depends on how many studies are conducted. If enough studies are carried out, every hypothesis will eventually be supported by some reports of experimental "evidence". Ironically, the more trendy a theory becomes – the more likely researchers will test it, and the field as a whole will find false effects just by mere chance. The chart below shows that the probability of finding at least one "statistically significant" effect (the red line) grows fast as a function of the number of studies conducted (the exact probability is 1 – (1-α)N, where α=.05). The chances of finding at least two, three and four results follow similar patterns.
This problem is enhanced in oxytocin research. The experimental procedure typically includes either blood draws or pharmacological treatments, and in such cases, there's an ethical justification to maximize the knowledge gained from each subject. Therefore, it is the norm to run several tasks, some of them measure more than a single behavioral outcome. More data is better, but that depends of how it is being used. In practice, testing multiple hypothesis using statistical tests that were designed for a single study, greatly increases the of probability of finding a false association. But wait, there's more.
Hormonal systems are complex to study, and few simple cause and effect relationships exist in nature. Therefore, different subjects might respond differently to pharmacological treatments. Intranasal oxytocin administration might make males more trusting– but have an opposite effect on females. The spray might not work when interacting with someone that seems unreliable. Or perhaps one must be betrayed first before the nose-spray exhibits its trust-enhancing effects.
Back in 2011, a well-cited review (over 500 citations in 4 years!) pointed out that only half of oxytocin administration studies had reported main effects of the treatment. The rest only found effects in sub-populations of the subject pool, or under specific environmental conditions. The authors suggested that the field could benefit from exploration of these factors. Behind this well-intentioned proposition hides a potential disaster.
Mining data for associations without an explicit hypothesis, in search of true predictive power, is not straightforward. An entire discipline in computer science is dedicated to dealing with such problems. But in practice, oxytocin researchers responded to the review's proposition by collecting many variables that could potentially moderate the effects of oxytocin (sex, age, health status, relationship status, personality, genetics, environmental conditions and more), post-hoc selected the moderators that their interactions with oxytocin treatment were "statistically significant" and reported them as positive results – using statistical tests that were designed to keep the false discovery rate of a single hypothesis test low.
At the absence of an explicit guiding theory, every variable was a potential suspect. But here's the catch: each test of whether oxytocin works only under specific conditions is statistically equivalent to rolling the 20-sided die again. With the collection of more and more variables, it becomes hard not to find a false effect by mere chance.
Suppose one only collects the big five personality traits (which are considered statistically independent of each other) and gender, to test whether these factors moderate the effects of oxytocin on one target behavior. By doing so, he or she actually rolls the die 18(!) times: when testing for a main effect of oxytocin (one), testing for effects in each gender (two more), testing for personality dependent effects (5 more) and finally testing for every possible gender-personality interaction (10 tests). As the chart above has shown, if one uses the standard procedure of statistical testing, that was designed to test a single hypothesis, the chance of a false discovery has already reached 60%. When running a battery of three tasks for every subject who underwent oxytocin treatment – we end up rolling the dice 54(!) times and finding false effects becomes almost guaranteed – over 90%. The chance of finding at least four different effects is over 50%. Given these numbers, it is not surprising that interaction effect studies in social psychology are less likely to replicate (22% success) even compared to the (already low) replicability rates in the rest of the field.
With promising initial findings, extreme media hype and nearly guaranteed chances of finding significant results that end up in top academic journals, researchers had strong incentives to jump on the intranasal oxytocin bandwagon and speed up the accumulation of the literature. Ironically, this method is also cheaper than studying other hormones: because one cannot verify whether the substance really gets into the subjects' brains, there was no justification to invest in neither collecting saliva or blood samples nor performing any type of expensive hormonal assays for the sake of a manipulation check.
Researchers also had several reasons that justified keeping doing what they were doing. There is an ethical rationale to make the best effort to publish results that were obtained from human subjects that underwent a pharmacological treatment; we still don't know much about the time course and the exact administration procedures required to make the spray "work" well, so it was easy to justify why only some of the studies worked as predicted; running many tests and only reporting the positive results might have been the norm in other fields. Last but not least, most of the results made sense on hindsight, even if there were great chances that they were just statistical artifacts.
The future will tell whether my conspiracy theory reflects what was really going on in oxytocin research. Over the past few months I have come to believe that the likelihood has increased. A recent meta-analysis co-authored by Larry Young, the scientist who made some of the most important discoveries relating oxytocin with social behavior in animals – estimated that the average statistical power (the chances of finding true effects if these truly exist) in oxytocin research is between 12% and 16%. This means that even if all of the effects were real, the studies investigating them did not use enough subjects to meaningfully study them.
This leaves us in a difficult place: in order to reliably extract true signals from the literature, we should directly replicate all studies using much larger samples – at the order of hundreds, sometimes thousands of subjects. Given that we are unsure whether intranasal oxytocin gets into the brain in the first place and have no means to conduct a manipulation check, it is not obvious that pursing this direction is worth scientists' time, effort and money.
Does oxytocin increase trust in humans? Frequently asked questions
In a newly published paper, Colin Camerer, Michael McCullough and yours truly have reviewed the literature linking the neuropeptide Oxytocin with trust in humans.
As I often find myself in conversations about oxytocin – in conferences, cocktail parties or flights – I've collected several frequently asked questions in this post. I will try to update it regularly, please feel free to post new questions (and alternative answers) of your own.
Q: Is there an association between Oxytocin and trust in humans?
A: According to the scientific literature (as for late 2015), there is no strong evidence in favor this hypothesis. It doesn't seem like spraying oxytocin onto one's nose makes him or her more trusting, and there is no robust link between trust and either blood levels of oxytocin or oxytocin-related genetic variable. The absence of evidence, however, is not necessarily evidence of absence – it is possible that there are real effects that are too small to be detected by the current research methods, or that the effects depend on various unknown factors, such as gender, environment or other demographic variables.
Q: What about other findings linking oxytocin with things like romantic love, parenting or cooperation?
A: The oxytocin-trust studies are the seminal works that inspired most of oxytocin behavioral research and are among the few studies that underwent direct replication attempts by independent research groups. The failure to replicate these results, to my view, reduces the likelihood that other behavioral oxytocin findings (most of which never underwent replication attempts) reflect the true state of the world. It is possible that real discoveries are out there – but at the absence of independent replication attempts it is hard to say which ones. Also note that a recent meta-analysis concluded that most oxytocin studies are underpowered, and therefore the estimated false discovery rate is very high – around 80 (!!) percent. Moreover, promising well-cited results relating oxytocin to "mind reading" also do not seem as robust as one might hope.
Q: I would like to study the effects of oxytocin on behavior and got discouraged. What should I do?
There's an urge for direct replications of previously published findings. My personal opinion is that this is a low-hanging fruit, given the interest of many fields (and the popular media) in the potential effects of oxytocin on social behavior (that are supported by animal research). Here is what you should do:
- Pick an oxytocin paper with an interesting result, preferably highly cited and from a top journal (Science, Nature, PNAS, Psychological Science).
- Conduct power analysis (you can use this calculator) based on the effect size of the original study. A standard power is 0.8, but the larger you go the better (even true effects are often over-estimated in the literature).
- Contact the authors of the original study and ask their collaboration. Ask them to provide all experimental materials, in order to make sure that your replication is as similar as possible to the original study. Don't give up if they are non-cooperative, and remember to mention their levels of cooperation in your final paper, for good or bad.
- Submit a registered replication report or pre-register your study.
- Conduct your experiment.
- Write down a short paper and publish it (regardless of your result) as a short commentary / research report. You can also upload your data to databases such as psychology file drawer. Beware that not getting a p-value which is smaller than 0.05 does not necessarily mean a failure to replicate. I recommend using the "small telescope" approach in order to test such conclusion.
- Go back to step 1.
Q: Does oxytocin reach the brain following intranasal administration?
We are not sure. Even though intranasal oxytocin has been around for quite some time, there is no consensus among researchers. My personal belief is that some molecules of oxytocin do cross the blood brain barrier after intranasal administration, but (and that's an big but) we don't know for sure if, how and when they reach target brain areas that plausibly control behavior and cognition. The current oxytocin literature relied on a single study from 2002 (hasn't been replicated yet) with intranasal Arginine Vasopressin administration (a similar, but not identical molecule), and an equivalent study in oxytocin that was recently conducted (using a tiny sample size) did not find elevated levels of oxytocin in the cerebral and spinal fluid 45 minutes after administration (which is the time between administration and the behavioral task in most oxytocin studies).
Q: How have we come to so strongly believe that oxytocin = trust?
The seminal oxytocin-trust papers used novel behavioral paradigms and were published in high profile journals. The papers are beautifully narrated and tell a surprising, yet simple and coherent story, which is based on animal research and gained them a lot of popular media attention. Media coverage included very strong claims of scientists about the link between oxytocin and trust without mentioning that the results were preliminary or any other caveats. I'll discuss more about this topic in future posts.
Q: How should one measure peripheral Oxytocin?
For blood plasma, you can use RIA or ELISA – but make sure you conduct extraction as recommended in the kit's manual. Remember to report in detail which method you have used: although their outputs correlate – it is not identical. Some scholars have used oxytocin measurements from urine or saliva, but there several researchers have raised concerns regarding the bio-analytical validity of these measures (example 1, example 2).
IMPORTANT: correlating biological measures with behaviors that are allegedly influenced by oxytocin, genetic variables or other invalid oxytocin measures (such as unextracted plasma oxytocin) DO NOT count as a bio-analytical validation.
Q: I have an a-priori hypothesis about a specific environmental factor that might interact with oxytocin to influence target behavior. What should I do?
Pre-register your hypothesis here and run your study. Make sure you are well powered statistically, and report your result whether you found an effect or not.
Q: How can I explore the interaction between oxytocin, environment, personality and behavior without inflating the rate of false discoveries?
Be careful. Using conventional hypothesis tests that are designed to test a single hypothesis, and then reporting only the "positive" results at the standard p-value of 0.05, will dramatically inflate the false discovery rate. Here is one possible approach for exploration without inflating the false-positive rates:
- Write down all of the environmental and personality factors that you would like to explore. Let's call them E and P.
- Calculate N = (E+1) x (P+1): this is the number of hypotheses you are testing.
- Adjust your designated p-value using correction for multiple hypotheses testing, such as Bonferonni correction. Denote the new p-value by q.
- Conduct power analysis (you can use this calculator) based on the effect size you expect to find, and q (two-sided). A sample size that allows a power of 0.8 is standard, but the larger the better (effect sizes are often over-estimated) – go as large as you can.
- Run your study. Report your finding as "positive" only if your p-value is less than q. Publish your data with the necessary caveats otherwise.
- If you believe that some patterns in the data are worth further exploration – pre-register them as new a-priori hypotheses, and try to replicate these patterns in an independent sample of participants.

Supreme Knowledge Foundation - Dr. P.C. Mahalanabish School of Management - DRPCMSM Hooghly - DRPCMSM
Supreme Knowledge Foundation Group of Institutions (SKFGI) with two Schools Sir J C Bose School of Engineering and Dr P C Mohalanabish School of Management was founded under the Chairmanship of Mr. Bijoy Guha Mallick of Supreme Knowledge Foundation Trust, in 2009, offering graduate and postgraduate courses in engineering and postgraduate courses in Business Management. SKFGI started functioning with the approval of All India Council for Technical Education and affiliation to West Bengal University of Technology and later it received recognition of the University Grant Commission under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. Within a span of five years since its inception in 2009 has created a near ideal academic campus to assist learners to climb to the peak of their career through a seamless journey from its undergraduate (B Tech), graduate (M Tech) and to post-graduate (Ph D) program. Further the Institute is organizing national and international conferences every year thus giving the students to bathe in the personalities of academic stalwarts from India and Abroad. Our progress is visible by looking into the impressive list of publications by the teachers and students the index of attainment of an academic institution. Further, because of its unique feature of teaching, learning, evaluation, campus discipline, R & D activities and placement it has ranked the third best engineering college in the eastern India adjudicated by the survey conducted by Saturday Times in collaboration with SAFHI-ORG India (P) Ltd. Engineering and management institutes are legion, but SKFGI can boast of many unique features, like the following: 1. Ragging: This word is unknown in the Supreme Knowledge Foundation Group of Institutions. 2. Unique Geographical Location: The institution with adequate built-up space as per AICTE norm is located in a lush green pollution-free environment of 10.408 acres, away from the din and bustle of city life, and is at a stone's throw from the railway station "Mankundu" about 30 km away from Kolkata – immersed in the culturally and historically rich environment of Chandannagar. 3. Orientation Programme: New entrants are stepping into an unknown environment, a new surrounding with an entirely different cultural atmosphere ? a transition from school life to college life, a quantum jump. We motivate to absorb this shock. Otherwise they may suffer cultural and emotional shock. If they do not understand and appreciate this difference between school education and college education, it will be useless to motivate them to take up engineering education. 4. Academic Rigor: No compromise is made with regard to discipline both during internal and university examinations. Parents are constantly kept in touch regarding their ward's performance during examinations and lack of discipline, if any, as well as their achievements and disciplinary records. 5. Technology Education for the Next Generation: Our teaching method is based on how to provide education to innovate Technology, for the benefit of the society. Our method, in contradiction to that of others, is based on the fusion of our ancient Gurukul system of education and the use of Information Technology in education, theme of which centres around the philosophy of Swami Vivekananda: "training of hands and training of mind to think" and Albert Einstein: "Education is not the learning of facts but training of mind to think". This immensely creates confidence among the students a feeling of success, target motivation, to score high marks and to achieve dream rank. 6. To Create a Centre of Excellence: With this idea in mind, SKFGI has developed well equipped teaching laboratories and adequate facility for carrying out researches. As a result, it is the only private engineering college in the State of West Bengal that has been awarded with the opportunity of doing R & D work with CSIR-CEERI, the only organization of this kind in India, by way of signing a MoU between CSIR and SKFGI. We have already completed initial steps of signing a MoU with Delaware State University (USA). 7. Teaching beyond Syllabus: Seminars on current topics and concept classes are frequently held in the current subjects by renowned academicians from universities, scientists, scientists from national laboratories and experts from industries in order to implant the seeds of creativity the basis of engineering education. With this view we have already established three centres of Creativity, namely Sir J C Bose Centre for Creativity, Centre for Renewable and Nonconventional Energy Studies and Centre for Machine Learning and Intelligence, As a result, our students are securing jobs in famous organizations, such as CTS, TCS, INFOSYS, TEKTRONICS, ACCENTURE, WIPRO, KPIT, IBM, SYNECHRON, RELIANCE, REPRO, etc. Their creative thinking has helped them to earn world recognition through publications of research papers in peer reviewed journals. Moreover, they have been selected for admission in IIM, ISM, etc. for post graduate study.

Asymptotic formulas for perturbations in the electromagnetic fields due to the presence of inhomogeneities of small diameter
Department of Mathematics, Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, NJ 08903, USA. (email@example.com)
2 Department of Mathematics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903, USA. (email@example.com)
Revised: 11 February 2000
We consider solutions to the time-harmonic Maxwell's Equations of a TE (transverse electric) nature. For such solutions we provide a rigorous derivation of the leading order boundary perturbations resulting from the presence of a finite number of interior inhomogeneities of small diameter. We expect that these formulas will form the basis for very effective computational identification algorithms, aimed at determining information about the inhomogeneities from electromagnetic boundary measurements.

Daddy's Gone...
If only we were there, when you had to go
To see your face downtrodden
showing pink against the snow.
If only we had got to hold you, in our small embracing arms
It would have soothed you and brought you back to calm.
Your muffled tones confused us;
Just like they always did.
We were not yet of an understanding
We were just two little kids...

Hidden Passage
Mia awoke at dawn and hurried down to the courtyard. Martin was waiting for her. It was a cold, cloudless morning. Mia studied the map with Martin and decided the map started on the top most tower.
They walked up there, stoping to grap a breakfast of roles. They looked at the map and saw a small message writen in red ink haft way across the map it said "Beware of the.. the rest of the message smuged torn. "It looks like it starts here," Said Mia pointing to a smal chest, " Then it goes here, witch looks like the armoury." "Well lets go there then," replied Martin. They ran down to the armoury excitedly and looked at the map again, Only to see that the blue trail disapeared in the deongon.
So in great confusion they walked bdown to the deongon, wondering waether the treasure was in the deongon. When they got there they stuied the gloom but found nothing. they sreached every where but still they found nothing.
Martin slumbed agains the wall in dismay and as Mia watched fell through the wall with a scream. Mai ran to the wall and saw a gaping hole. "Are you okay Martin?" Mai asked staring through the hole." " Sort of," came the grone from far below.
Mai carefully lowered herself over the edge, Hardley daring to breath and felt around with her feet. To her relief she felt a ladder and grapping the map desendended down the long ladder. Finally she stepped onto solid ground and felt around for Martin.

With top spot in the Colonial Athletic Association on the line in Charleston, South Carolina, the nationally ranked Cougars their lead atop the standings following a 13-4 route over UNCW to open a three-game series on Friday night.
Charleston (36-11) improved to 17-2 in the CAA and pushed its lead to two games ahead of the Seahawks (33-13), who dipped to 15-4. UNCW leads third-place Northeastern by four games with five to play as they pursue a top-two seed.
The Seahawks jumped out to an early lead when Luke Dunlap hit a bases clearing three-run triple in the top of the first, but No. 18 College of Charleston erupted for 13 unanswered runs as junior ace Taylor Clarke eclipsed the Cougars single-season strikeout record, fanning 10 on the day.
In the top of the first, a hit-by-pitch, single and Cougar miscue loaded the bases for the Seahawks and Dunlap knocked the extra base hit to left.
After falling behind 3-0, Clarke retired 17 straight hitters, with exclusion to a Charleston error.
The Cougars responded right away with three consecutive singles to get one back and tacked on five more on four hits to seize the lead in the second.
College of Charleston's top five hitters combined to go 13-for-21 on the night. Leading the way were Ryan Brown and Carl Wise with three hits apiece, while Rob Buttler and Nick Pappas drove in three runs each.
UNCW loaded the bases in the ninth and managed a run on an RBI single by Kennard McDowell, but reliever Will Detwiler forced a groundball for a game-ending 4-6-3 double play. Detwiler went 1.2 innings with just one run after relieving Clarke with one out in the eighth.
Game two of the series is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Saturday

Todmorden Park 5k Winter Series FAQs
When do I get my race number? Race numbers and timing chips are to be collected by each runner from Todmorden Cricket Club, Burnley Road, Todmorden, OL14 8EA before 18:30 on race day.
Can I enter on the day?
Yes, entry will be accepted on race day between 17:30 and 18:30.
Can I change from the race 1 to a different race in the series?
Please see the terms and conditions, there is a cut off time for a partial refund or discount from a future race. We start incurring costs as soon as an athlete enters and we cannot recoup these costs if an athlete pulls out of a race.
What time do I need to arrive on race day?
You should aim to arrive no later than 18:15 to give you time to register and warm up. Arriving late will only add to the pre race nerves!
Can I park anywhere?
There is limited car parking so please park on streets near the CC, or small car park opposite the main entrance (signed). There are also several car parks in the center of Todmorden or the old race HQ car park, at the Hare and Hounds Pub, Burnley Road. You must park legally, safely and responsibly, we want to keep our good relationship with the people of Todmorden!
Where do the races start?
The races start right outside the Cricket Club building.
Is there anywhere to leave my kit?
You can leave your kit in the Cricket Club but this is at your own risk and no Cannonball Events staff will be in the building during the race.
Do I need a head torch?
The park is not lit so a head torch is a must, we will have them on sale at registration for a very reasonable price.
I like to run with headphones, can I race with them?
On 1st April 2016 UK:Athletics banned the use of headphones in all road races with any length of open single carriage roads and in any race in which the race directors have identified hazards. We have taken the decision to ban headphones of any type from all races. We believe athletes need to be able to hear instructions and warnings from marshals, other athletes and members of the public. As this is a lapped race slower runners are likely to be lapped and need to hear when a runner is about to overtake them. Any athlete ignoring the no headphone rule will be disqualified and removed from the results with no refund.
When will results be published?
Provisional results will be online usually within seconds of the runners crossing the line (via our "live timing"), where a mobile phone signal is present. Please note these results are provisional and will not be sent to 3rd party websites until the relevant checks have been made.

Originally posted on Phillies Nation | Last updated 7/20/13
Philadelphia Phillies (49-48) vs New York Mets (41-51) Cole Hamels (4-11, 4.05 ERA) vs Zack Wheeler (3-1 3.54 ERA) TIME: 1:10, Citi Field TV: Comcast SportsNet Weather: 93, cloudy Media: Twitter and Facebook Last night the Phillies jumped over the .500 mark for the first time since June 6, and today they will try to set their high water mark for the season at two games over in a Saturday matinee against the Mets. With the win last night, the Phillies passed the Washington Nationals for second place in the division, and are six and a half back of the Braves in the N.L. East. Cole Hamels has pitched well of late for the Phillies, and he will get the baseball again today. In his last three starts he is 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 23 innings. His last time out against the Mets he suffered the loss after allowing four runs in seven innings of work, but back in April he did hold them to a run over six innings for his only win in the first two months of the season. The Phillies will be seeing a new arm in Zack Wheeler, one of the Mets top pitching prospects. Wheeler has had his good outings and his bad outings since being called up in mid-June, and lately he has been pitching superbly. In his last two outings he combined to go 12 innings and allowed just two runs while striking out eight. He has never faced the Phillies or any of their hitters. Lineup: Rollins SS, M. Young 3B, Utley 2B, Brown LF, Ruf 1B, D. Young RF, Mayberry CF, Ruiz C, Hamels P Gameday Beer: Otter Creek Copper Ale This medium bodied beer is a very versatile and refreshing brew that goes well with all types of ballpark food, especially stuff off the grill. It's got a sweet, toasty, crisp taste that is perfect for either a chilly night or hot summer day watching the game. With a day game today fire up the grill and kick back with one of these and you'll be set.

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter and The Used owns the song used and the title of this piece. The song is called On My Own.
Title: On My Own
Warnings: Kind of angsty. I'm not a fan of SB/RL, I'm a Snupin fan, but you can see a bit of hinting at SB/RL if you REALLY look for it, but I didn't really consider this a slash fic. Just a friend one, but you're welcome to let your imagination run wild if you'd like.
A/N - Enjoy the fic. :)
The word in Italics are the actual copy and pasted lyrics.
I was frightened at the thought of coming to Hogwarts. Dumbledore had assured me that there would be a special place I could go because of my...condition. It wasn't just that though. I could handle turning into a monster if I knew there was a place I could go and no one could get hurt. What bothered me the most was that even at age eleven I knew that there was no way anyone close to me could live a normal life.
Images of being scorned by everyone had played constantly in my head. I couldn't blame anyone that didn't want to be around me. Honestly, if I had never been bit and one of my children had tried to bring home a werewolf I probably would have reacted just the same as any of the other people who berated and hated me without really knowing who I was. Who the child with the wide tearful eyes really was. The broken heart under all the wild fur.
In a way I understood life in a way that no one else ever could. I understood what it was like to be hated. Hated without truly understanding why. What eleven year old can truly understand what it is to be hated? I wish I could say that no one could ever truly understand it at such a young age, but society can be cruel.
And society doesn't always shelter a delicate heart.
See all those people on the ground, wasting time
Try to hold it all inside, but just for tonight
Top of the world, sitting here wishing
The things I've become
That something is missing
Maybe I...
But what do I know?
Then I literally ran into you, or you into me to be absolutely truthful. We hadn't even boarded the train and you had already caused a ruckus. I remember how your dark eyes grew wide when we landed on the ground together in a ungraceful lump. The perfect example of a fearful youth that was sure he was going to be caught. The look didn't fit on your features at all. You were used to getting away with most of you pranks. You had to be clever to get away with things in your house as I soon found out.
You jumped off the ground, pulling me as you went. We ended up hiding in a compartment near the back of the train together. The angry shrieks of you cousin still ring in my memories. Looking back now I'm surprised you didn't end up in Slytherin. You were clever, ambitious for your own dreams. Maybe you were supposed to be in Slytherin but you were too stubborn to actually go. That deffinatly sounds like you. You were also brave and noble, so I can understand why you ended up in Gryffindor. I'm glad that you did. I'd hate to have been separated from my very first friend.
I'll never forget that. The way you shook my hand. The naive and angelic smile that so often graced you features through our school years. I was so hopeful that you'd be the person I'd confide in. We'd tell each other secrets. And we'd keep each other out of trouble. You'd be the first person that I ever actually told. And you wouldn't hate me. You'd accept me because you were my friend.
My friend.
And now it seems that I have found, nothing at all
Wanna hear your voice out loud, slow it down, slow it down
Without it all, I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head, I'm screaming for something
Knowing nothing is better than knowing it all
Those first few weeks together were the favorite time in my life. It was the happiest and most hopeful I'd ever felt. Even when I had to go off during the full moon, I was hopeful because I knew you were going to be there when I got back. My friend would be waiting, and I would tell you why I had been looking so anxious the past week and why I had disappeared during the night. You would understand because you were my friend.
But I had lost my courage when I had finally found you. My bravery. The reason I was a lion left me when I needed it most. I could have cried. It had been to easy to get you to believe that I just had the flu. You had just ignored it and started on some story about how you couldn't stand your family and how you had an amazing prank for you cousin again.
I was heartbroken. Even standing there with you with your perfect smile and hopeful eyes I realized something.
I was,
On my own
I knew at that moment I would always be,
On my ownForever,
On my own
Even though I didn't want to be,
On my own
I know I started to pull away from you. Segregate myself. Sure I still sat with you. I still helped you with your pranks, but I think you saw through everything.
And then we met James and Peter. James and you seemed like a match made in heaven. Your personalities just seemed to go together so well. It didn't take long till I realized I had been replaced. That smile that used to be reserved for me was turned toward someone else. Someone less complicated. Someone who wasn't filthy with my disease. And I couldn't blame you. I know I hadn't told you about my disease but I had been so sure that you could sense it.
I had known hate before, and I could tell you didn't hate me. This feeling was different. Indifference. I had never had someone be indifferent towards me. You didn't seem to mind if I was around, but at the same time you were perfectly fine when I was gone.
But I wasn't.
I missed my friend.
Then during second year when you all finally did find out about my disease I had expected to be shunned. You don't know how surprised I had been when you all seemed to accept me even more than before. I still remember the look in you eye when you found out.
Without it all, I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head, I'm screaming for something
Knowing nothing is better than knowing it all
You seemed almost relieved that I had a reason for why I had been so distant. You opened up more than you had ever opened up to me before. You told me things that I hadn't ever imagined. The rules at your house. The traditions. What happened to you when you were caught breaking the rules and traditions. The scars on your back.
I thought I was the only one with scars. The only one that new the harsh reality of the world at such a young age.
James seemed jealous at how close we got after that, but he never said anything to me about it. I heard you two arguing many times through out our years together. One of the perks of my disease? I guess. He never acted like he held anything against me when he was around me. On the contrary, he seemed to be even more of a friend than you were at times, but no one could ever replace you.
And when you all finally received your animagus, I had been so delighted that you had gotten the form of a dog. It just seemed so symbolic. My friend. No matter what age, size, or form.
I had hope again. That smile that had been for James was suddenly mine again.
And I believed that I would never again be,
On my ownI would never have to face the world,
On my own
Never again,
On my own
You'd be with me. Hand in mine. Not,
On my own
I know I was foolish. I know I had no idea that I couldn't save you from your fate. No matter how hard I tried. No matter how much I cried. Years pass and I can't help but realize that I didn't know the world as well as I thought I did. Looking back now I realize that in the end I couldn't escape my fate either. James murdered. Peter, a traitor, dead. You lost in some inescapable world of nothing.
Even with my new wife and my son it's just not the same. I hold him in my arms as I gaze out a window dreaming about a time I'll never relive. Imagining faces I'll never get to see. A smile that once belonged to me. You were what I was always looking for as a child. What I continued to look for for the entirety of my life when you were taken away to that dark prison. I was always trapped by my disease and you were my freedom. You were always trapped by the darkness of your family, of their past, of a world I'll never really understand, and what did I ever do to help you? What did I ever do to deserve you? My friend.
I know that I'll never escape the prison of my life. No matter how far I run. No matter who I'm around.
In a room full of people I'm on my own.
In a life I never wanted I'm on my own.
A friend I'll never get to see.
My friend...
I'm on my own...
A/N - Alright...I believe this is my first song fic that I've posted. I think I wrote 2 or 3 more but they never got posted...I believe. So! Tell me what you thought of it please. I love my readers, and I love when you guys give me con crit. :) My main concerns are 1. Did it flow well? 2. Could you understand the context? Because I normally try to stay away from first person, but I just didn't feel like it came across right in third person.

My emotionally abuses me and every once in awhile hits me. And my dad does nothing about it. I turn 17 soon and I know about the removal of disabilities of a minor but I can't afford that because my parents won't allow me to get a job. I also know that sometimes the police won't make a 17 year old runaway go back to their parents. I want to know how likely that is and if I'm not forced home will the people I'm staying with get charged for harbor in game runaway?Harboring a runaway* The first sentence is about my mom. I really need to proofread next time.
You are correct in your assessment.
I am sorry you are experiencing such abuse. If you run away and the police bring you back, they know you can run away again over and over. 17 year old runaways are not a first priority with police.
Unfortunately, your host family could be charged with Harboring a runaway, if your mothers calls the police.
Have you reported the abuse to CPS so they may investigate? Have you documented via recording or-note taking the abuse? I am not sure I helped any, but also talk to a school counselor.

ISIS ran a 'sophisticated' immigration operation allowing villagers from terrorism hotbeds into Turkey from Syria, newly-found documents show.
The extremists used a complex system to monitor movements through the Syrian border town of Tel Abyad before the militants were driven out by Kurds over the summer.
Kurdish commanders found a series of passenger manifests dating from late 2014 to early 2015 showing how buses had passed through the town.
According to the Guardian, which obtained the documents, the papers show how the names, birth dates and identification numbers of passengers were taken down by ISIS operatives.
The seven papers were said to be marked up with stamps for the terror group's 'department of transport' and 'department of immigration'.
Many of those registered were coming from territory held by ISIS, the Guardian reports, while one document shows a group of five Tunisians coming to the area.

Truth or Lie?
Once caught amidst a quicksand of fears,
Of all the available weapons,
What comes to help is a Truth.
Or a Lie?
What you choose to choose reflects
what you really are.
Whether to accept defeat at the hands of truth,
Or to win with a lie!
Yes! Lies let you win,
But against your own conscience.
Slivers of shame shall twirl into thorns,
Out of your blameless self,
A sprite shall be born.
The one who rejects,
to realize the reality.
crafts heaps of obstructions,
waiting to be cleared,
By no weapon but TRUTH

St. Charles is NNA's convention headquarters this year
April 2, 2015
Mark your calendar now and plan to join the National Newspaper Association in St. Charles, MO, Oct. 1-3, 2015, for its 129th Annual Convention and Trade Show. The committee endorsed the theme, "Show Me the Future of Newspapers."
Your planning committee, co-chaired by Dane Vernon, Vernon Publishing Inc., Eldon, MO, and Kevin Jones, The St. Louis American, along with committee members Tianna Brooks, Mountain View (MO) Standard News; Doug Crews, Missouri Press Association, Columbia, MO; Liz Erwin, Missouri Lawyer's Media, St. Louis, MO; Tyra Johnson, Cape Girardeau, MO; Bill Miller Sr., Washington (MO) Missourian; and NNA President and First Lady—John and Jo Ann Edgecombe, Edgecombe Publishing, Geneva, NE, have been working hard to create a lively and interesting convention.
The headquarters hotel is the Embassy Suites in St. Charles, and all meetings will be held in the Convention Center that adjoins the hotel. The hotel provides a complementary shuttle to the St. Charles historic district.
St. Charles was founded by Louis Blanchette, a French-Canadian fur trader, and originally named Les Petite Cotes (The Little Hills). Today, old inns and buildings still stand, and some structures date to the early 1800s when rock was chiseled by hand and delivered by mule. It was also the first state capital of Missouri, as well as the starting point for Lewis & Clark's great expedition.
St. Charles offers first-rate accommodations and more than 150 restaurants to choose from. You may choose a walking tour of the historic main streets, for an overview of life as it was in the early days of St. Charles. The Tourism Center (located at 230 S. Main St.) is staffed by employees and volunteers with answers for your questions. Stroll along the brick-paved streets of Missouri's oldest and largest historic district. Explore one-of-a-kind shops, sample the local cuisine, and experience the sights and sounds of the early Midwest.
Saint Charles is known for its historical architecture, specialty stores and antiques, lovely parks and various recreational complexes. Shop your way down Main Street, savor the local restaurants, and when evening falls take a carriage ride along the historic brick-paved streets or gamble in the casino.
Located in the heart of the Midwest on Interstate 70, St. Charles is just 10 minutes from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis with the Arch, riverfront and historic Laclede's Landing. At Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair, discover the world-renowned St. Louis Zoo, Art Museum, Science Center and Missouri History Museum, or visit the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The Historic Daniel Boone Home and Heritage Center brings the story of Daniel Boone to life and helps to enliven the frontier experience. Daniel Boone came to Missouri when he was 65 years old. Born in Pennsylvania in 1734, he moved with his family to the backwoods of North Carolina when he was 15. By the time he was 30, there were four times as many people living there. Daniel then moved to Kentucky, which also became overcrowded, and lastly came to Upper Louisiana, which is present-day Missouri. Missouri provided the Boone family with all the essentials they needed to survive: good land that was farmable as well as bountiful with trees and plants, natural water sources, and plenty of game to hunt for food. All of these were essential to living on the frontier.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 24, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas Reports denied Movie star Hudson said being treated for liver cancer PARIS (AP) — The American Hospital today denied that movie idol Rock Hudson is being treated for inoperable liver cancer, and said tests have not yet revealed what ailment is responsible for the star's collapse and hospitalization. "As far as we know that report (of liver cancer) is false, and it certainly wasn't given by the doctors at the American Hospital in Paris," said hospital spokesman Bruce Redor. Redor was replying to a question from the CBS Morning News. Hudson's publicity agent has said the actor is suffering from liver cancer and being treated by specialists from a Paris institute that specializes in medical research and has conducted a search for the cause of AIDS. The agent, Dale Olson, said in Los Angeles on Tuesday that the actor had collapsed at the Paris Ritz Hotel on Sunday night. "He's been in and out of a coma. He's a very, very sick man," Olson said. "My official statement is that Rock Hudson is in the American Hospital in Paris, where his doctors have diagnosed that he has cancer of the liver and that it is not operable," Olson said. Hospital spokeswoman Joyce Gray told The Associated Press: "Mr. Hudson was hospitalized July 21st, Sunday, for fatigue and general malaise. He is currently undergoing a series of examinations. As of this moment the results of these examinations have been inconclusive." Redor said late Tuesday that the 59-year-old Hudson was under observation and was in 'My official statement is that Rock Hudson is in the American Hospital in Paris, where his doctors have diagnosed that he has cancer of the liver and that it is not operable.' Publicity Agent _Dale Olson satisfactory condition. Hudson had gone to Paris to see doctors at the Pasteur Institute, said his Beverly Hills physician, Dr. Rexford Kennamer. Olson said: "I believe people from the Institut Pasteur have been treating him. He has not been in the Institut Pasteur as a patient." The institute specializes in research, and has conducted recent work to seek the cause of AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Hudson had made a public appearance last week in Pebble Beach, Calif., to help Doris Day promote her television series on pets. He looked gaunt at the time, but his publicists said only that Hudson had wanted to lose weight. Beginning in 1948, Hudson's commanding 6-foot-4 size, strong presence and good looks led him to starring roles opposite some of Hollywood's leading ladies in more than 50 Westerns, war epics, comedies and tear-ierking dramas. He later went on to star in the television series "McMillan and Wife" and "Dynasty." Olson also said there were indications of cancer in Hudson's blood. However, he said reports that Hudson is suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome were speculative and have not been confirmed or denied by doctors. AIDS destroys the body's immunity to infection. "The doctor in Paris indicated that at this point he has seen no indication of AIDS," Olson said. Asked what Hudson's prognosis was, he said: "I haven't been given one." He said he believed doctors wanted to wait until after sessions with specialists today before making a prognosis. He said Hudson was being tested for "everything." Asked whether that included AIDS, he repeated: "Everything." AIDS, believed to be caused by an unusual virus discovered in France and the United States in 1984, is most likely to strike homosexuals, abusers of injectable drugs and hemophiliacs. It is apparently spread by sexual contact, contaminated needles and blood transfusions, but not by casual contact. As of June 24, 1985, AIDS had struck 11,271 people in the United States and claimed 5,641 lives since 1979. Hudson, bom Roy Scherer Jr. on Nov. 17,1925 in Winnetka, 111., went to Hollywood to pursue his acting career after serving as a Navy air mechanic in World War II. Agent Henry Willson renamed him Rock Hudson. Attention Victorian Lovers!
