Here's a list of over 100 multiracial people including celebrities.
Who is Multiracial?
The definition of being multiracial differs from one society to the next, as do the boundaries dividing one perceived race from another. A basic definition would include anyone whose ancestry combines significant contributions from two or more perceived racial groups. However, many such people identify with one particular group over the others and do not consider themselves 'multiracial' or 'mixed' (see American rapper Slug), while others do (e.g. Tiger Woods). In some contexts, such as the United States, people with certain mixed ancestries are broadly considered to belong to only one group, as in the case of black Americans, who are usually considered 'black' or 'African-American' even if they have a significant amount of, for example, white ancestry.
In other contexts, mixing between two or more groups has occurred on such a widespread basis that the concept of being 'multiracial' is seen as largely irrelevant, as it defines the majority of the population. This is the case in many Latin American contries, such as Mexico, where, in addition to the indigenous and Spanish heritages, many people have additional diverse, mixed ancestries – from Middle Eastern to East Asian to Jewish to African – which are not considered to mark them as essentially different from the majority. (This does not necessarily cover the attitudes of the largely European-descended elites, however.)
The science around the concept of being multiracial, as with the science around the concept of race in general, is contentious and still in its infancy. While it is possible to trace a person's ancestry back to different geographical regions and associated phenotypic groups based on their DNA, what this means is partially subjective, and is bound to be interpreted differently from one society, or one individual, to the next.

Cancer - lung
Lung cancer is cancer that starts in the lungs.
The lungs are located in the chest. When you breathe, air goes through your nose, down your windpipe (trachea), and into the lungs, where it flows through tubes called bronchi. Most lung cancer begins in the cells that line these tubes.
There are 2 main types of lung cancer:
If the lung cancer is made up of both types, it is called mixed small cell/large cell cancer.
If the cancer started somewhere else in the body and spreads to the lungs, it is called
Cancer can affect just about any part of the body, from the colon to the pancreas. Some cancers grow quickly, while others grow more slowly and are easier to treat. But of all the different cancers out there, one of the deadliest is lung cancer. Let's talk today about lung cancer. Cancer starts when cells begin to grow uncontrollably and form tumors. In the case of lung cancer, the tumors start in the lungs. Sometimes cancer starts somewhere else in the body and then spreads to the lungs. In that case, it's called metastatic cancer to the lung. "Metastatic" means disease that has spread. There are two types of lung cancer. The most common, and slower-growing form is non-small cell lung cancer. The other, faster-growing form is called small cell lung cancer. The most common way to get lung cancer is to smoke cigarettes. The more cigarettes you smoke and the earlier you start smoking, the greater your risk is. Even being around someone who smokes and breathing in the secondhand smoke from their cigarettes increases your risk of getting lung cancer. Even though smoking makes you much more likely to get lung cancer, you don't have to smoke or be exposed to smoke to get the disease. Some people who have lung cancer never lit up a cigarette in their life. They have been exposed to cancer-causing substances like asbestos, diesel fumes, arsenic, radiation, or radon gas. Or, they may not have had any known lung cancer risks. The most common signs of lung cancer are a cough that won't go away, chest pain, shortness of breath, weight loss, and fatigue. But just because you have these symptoms it doesn't mean that you have don't have lung cancer. These can also be signs of other conditions, like asthma or a respiratory infection. If you do have these symptoms, see your doctor. A chest x-ray, MRI, or CT scan can view the inside of your lungs to look for signs of cancer or other diseases. What happens if you do have lunch cancer? Doctors divide lung cancer into stages. The higher the stage, the more the cancer has spread. For example, a stage 1 cancer is small and hasn't spread outside of the lungs. A stage 4 cancer has spread to the other organs, such as the kidneys or brain. Depending upon the type and stage of your lung cancer, you may need surgery to remove part or all of your lung. Or, your doctor may recommend radiation or chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. If you have lung cancer, how well you do depends upon the stage of your disease and the type of lung cancer that you have. Early-stage cancers have the highest survival and cure rates. Late-stage cancers are harder to treat. Because lung cancer can be so deadly, prevention is key. The most important that thing you can do is to stop smoking, and avoid being around anyone who does smoke.
Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.
Lung cancer is more common in older adults. It is rare in people under age 45.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the greater your risk of lung cancer. There is no evidence that smoking low-tar cigarettes lowers the risk.
Lung cancer can also affect people who have never smoked.
Secondhand smoke (breathing the smoke of others) increases your risk of lung cancer.
The following may also increase your risk of lung cancer:
Early lung cancer may not cause any symptoms.
Symptoms depend on the type of cancer you have, but may include:
Other symptoms that may also occur with lung cancer, often in the late stages:
These symptoms can also be due to other, less serious conditions, so it is important to talk to your health care provider.
Lung cancer is often found when an x-ray or CT scan is done for another reason.
If lung cancer is suspected, the doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You will be asked if you smoke. If so, you'll be asked how much you smoke and for how long you have smoked. You will also be asked about other things that may have put you at risk of lung cancer, such as exposure to certain chemicals.
When listening to the chest with a stethoscope, the doctor may hear fluid around the lungs. This may suggest cancer.
Tests that may be done to diagnose lung cancer or see if it has spread include:
In most cases, a piece of tissue is removed from your lungs for examination under a microscope. This is called a biopsy. There are several ways to do this:
If the biopsy shows cancer, more imaging tests are done to find out the stage of the cancer. Stage means how big the tumor is and how far it has spread. Staging helps guide treatment and follow-up and gives you an idea of what to expect.
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the type of cancer, how advanced it is, and how healthy you are:
The above treatments may be done alone or in combination. Your doctor can tell you more about the specific treatment you will receive depending on the specific type of lung cancer and what stage it is.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well you do depends mostly on how much the lung cancer has spread.
Call your provider if you have symptoms of lung cancer, particularly if you smoke.
If you smoke, now is the time to quit. If you are having trouble quitting, talk with your provider. There are many methods to help you quit, from support groups to prescription medicines. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke.

Timelines and Decision-Making Process G. Flow of Funds H. Progress Reporting Requirements I. How to Apply J. Application Documents
Through the Market Readiness Program, Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) invests directly in companies to further their early-stage commercialization and support their growth into a scalable business. The program supports companies in both the Customer Creation and Company Building stages of the Customer Development Model, as defined by Lean Start-up principles. The OCE investment de-risks other investment opportunities and helps the company attract the private investment and other funding it needs to grow.
The Market Readiness Program is designed for academic spin-off companies created for the purpose of commercializing IP developed from research conducted in an Ontario-based academic institution (university, college and/or research hospital), or companies that are based at and actively engaged with, for a minimum of four months, an OCE-supported Campus-Linked Accelerator (CLA) or On-Campus Entrepreneurship Activities (OCEA) accelerator. As CLAs and OCEAs have been designed to help build company capacity and promote the success of youth-led entrepreneurship, companies that are eligible for the Market Readiness Program through their connection to a CLA or OCEA MUST be founded by and/or have a member of the management team who is a current student and/or recent graduate (within five years) of a post-secondary institution.
In order to be considered for the Market Readiness Program, the company's core product or service MUST be based on a technology or innovation that gives the company its competitive advantage. The company is expected to have a preliminary product whose technology and market have been initially validated, ideally with a customer.
Companies supported through the Market Readiness Program MUST have been incorporated for fewer than five years when applying for the Customer Creation stage and fewer than five years when applying for the Company Building stage. Companies MUST not exceed OCE's limits for arm's-length third-party investment ($500,000 at the Market Readiness Customer Creation stage, and $1,000,000 at the Market Readiness Company Building stage).
The Market Readiness stages (MRCC/MRCB) relate to the company's stage of development, not the amount of funds sought/required to advance the company's development.
At this stage, the company has completed preliminary validation of its technology and the market and is dedicating resources to creating user demand and channeling it into sales. Having achieved validation with initial customer(s), the company is shifting its efforts towards increasing demand and growing its customer base. At the end of the Customer Creation stage, the company should be able to demonstrate a repeatable sales process.
A company enters this phase once it has demonstrated a scalable, repeatable business model with a well-developed business plan and robust customer pipeline/process. At this point, the company has begun shifting from "start-up mode" to developing the processes and management required to become a sustainable company.
Refer to the Eligible Expenditures document for full details.

On January 28-29, 2014, ExL Pharma hosted its 6th Annual Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies ("REMS") Summit in Alexandria, Virginia. For the first time since the Summit has been held, key members from the FDA's Division of Risk Management attended. In particular, Claudia Manzo, Director, FDA Division of Risk Management, spoke in the main opening panel along with FLH Partner Brian J. Malkin and Yola Moride, Ph.D., FISP, Professor, Université de Montréal. The opening panel featured a discussion of some key take aways from FDA's Public Meeting on Standardizing and Evaluating REMS in July 2013 and follow-up meeting in December 2013 to identify and discuss new methods for communicating risk information as part of REMS to health care providers and its target populations. The Summit also featured a pre-conference workshop on regulatory negotiation and internal and external audits for REMS, as well as a concluding roundtable session, which focused on some of the key topics raised. The Summit was closed to the media to help encourage a free exchange of ideas.
As promised, the Summit built upon recent REMS events and discussions featuring the most experienced professionals from a cross section of small to large companies, pharmacy organizations, hospitals, academia and government agencies to share their perspectives, experiences, and leverage the discussions in a well-rounded and interactive platform to take a proactive approach covering:

"The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency." Major L L B Angus
The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
The Rothschild Bros
"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.
By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."

Fly instead, should be feeling.
A wing, a dusk and stuttered dreaming,
compose, create, furred life complete
to demonstrate a fleeting sleep.
Suppose instead you stay once waked
Suppose preyed eye prick restless state
seek only for each precious night
a moth, to dust, seeking light.
An iced filled window, leaded pane
a purple sky, stilled weather vane
a screaming moon, reflect frost shattered
uncooled blood prey, its silence tattered
Despite still flies, hard reason crushed
Beats still small heart and soft claw touched
fierce is hate, commend each beating
awakes its kind, cold hold is stealing.
a small delight, a single flame
a doom filled frost to season blame.
Contrast the night with darkened spire
of church, of faith, each speck entire
In dark winged fold, webbed belfry hold
accept embracing bright eyed cold.
This winter roars, the ice stick spike
rage red the hunt, still that it might
the ghost of all on leathered wing
crushed body of, this one small thing.

That's the trouble with memories. You never really know where they're coming from.
I have other memories too. I can see the flushed effort on his mother's face as she forced down and down to the cheerleader chants of the nursing staff. "That's it dear: push, push." I remember thinking that it looked like mighty hard work - that's why they call it labour. And one funny incident. One of the nurses handed me a glass of water. "Thanks," I said, taking a sip and setting it down on the side. The nurse gave me a curt, disbelieving look. It was only later that I realised that the water was meant for the woman on the bed, not for me.
Later I remember the surrealistic image of his head popping out from between her legs, poised in a moment of Monty Python silliness, before the rest of his body slithered out like a blood-flecked snake from its red lair. And I remember the look on his face too, like one of those Buddhist demons, all crimson fury, as if he was fuming with indignation that we had dared exorcise him to this place, when he was perfectly happy where he was.
So that was my first meeting with Joe: in the guise of a furious Buddhist demon, bright red and fuming with anger. Fortunately he's calmed down since. I'm the one who has had to learn to control my emotions.
We moved around a lot in Joe's early years. From Barton-on-Humber, in what was then South Humberside where he was born, to Bristol. From there to Whitstable in Kent. From estuary to estuary, for some reason. It's because I'm a Brummie. Brummies always have a fascination for the sea.
And, despite the moves, life developed a routine. "Who's going to look after Joe today? It's your turn to get him up." "No, it's your turn." And in the following years his mum and I drifted apart. We no longer knew whether we were together because of each other, or only because of him. I became sullen and depressed. She was much younger than I was. Maybe she longed to have her own young life back. Eventually we split up.
This is a very ordinary kind of a story, of course, and I'm sorry if you've heard it before. It is the story of the late 20th century. Where it is maybe a little different is in the situation we found ourselves in when we split. We were living in a commune. I'd had enough residual hippiedom in me to have been able to engineer this situation. So, while his mum continued her college course in London, Joe stayed with me. And - being sullen hippies, all of us - child rearing was a shared occupation. Later, again, I moved out of the commune, but the shared childcare continued. So that was how Joe was brought up, shuffling between a shared house in one part of Whitstable, my council- owned maisonette in another, and his mum's flat in London.
It's a surprise he isn't completely mad. He told me he's been counting the times he's moved. Thirteen times, he reckons, in only a few more years.
What we can thank that commune for is that Joe never felt the split like a schism in himself. He never felt like he was forced to choose between the two adults. Because there were many more adults in his life. I was only one of them. His mum was only another. So, no problem really. He could navigate his way between the emotional reefs with a certain grace. He had other people to refer to. As for his relationship to me: there was always a fierce loyalty there.
I became wild after the break-up with his mum. I was a gadabout. I took drugs. I had a lot of relationships. I think I probably broke many more than one heart. I got drunk and loud and - occasionally - unpleasant. I was headstrong and indifferent to the opinions of others. I lost a lot of friends.
And at first I resented Joe too. I kind of blamed him for the loss of the great love of my life. If only he hadn't been around, I thought, maybe we'd have been happy. Maybe we could still be together. A vain hope. But when you're in turmoil you clutch at straws.
All that began to change when we took a holiday in Tenerife. He was about six-and-a-half years old by now. This was about a year after the break- up. Joe and I shared a room. We went to bed at the same time and got up at the same time. We discussed what we'd like for lunch, and discovered we had the same tastes. Tinned octopus and other savouries. Crunchy bread and olives. We'd go to a bar in the evening and stay up late. I drank beer while he drank ginger beer. He discovered he liked staying up late, a habit he has never quite got out of. It made him feel like one of the adults. And, before we went to sleep at night, we'd discuss our favourite things on TV. He liked cartoons, of course. I told him my favourite cartoon character was Bugs Bunny, and he agreed. "What's up, Doc?" we'd say, and break into fits of giggles.
Suddenly I came to know how lucky I was. How beautiful this boy was, and how much he loved me. How much I loved him. How important he was in my life. Motherhood, I thought, was a natural thing, ordained by hormonal nature. Fatherhood, on the other hand, is a rational thing. It has to be decided.
Things came into focus. I remembered a certain look he'd given me more than once, fleeting and bashful and full of surprised admiration, and how he would run towards me with his arms open, like I was his great big teddy bear, burying himself in my beard. I've been as cuddly as any teddy bear.
After that he would watch me. He's seen me in all my turmoil. He's seen me in tears as I fall in love, and tears as I fall out of it again. He's seen me sober and practical, drunk and emotional, domesticated, wild, and absurd by turns. He's seen it all. And never once has he lost his faith in me. Never once has he allowed my madness to get in the way of our friendship.
There was a lot of criticism over the way I chose to lead my life. Joe never listened to any of it. And the only criticism I've ever listened to is Joe's. Once he told me that I was a nasty, spiteful old man. I guess I was going through a hard time again, and was taking it out on him. But those words seared into me like the kind of truth you could only get from God. You can be sure I listened to him, and that I was never nasty, spiteful or old again.
Which kind of brings us up to date. Joe is 18 years old now, and he lives with me. We share a rented house in Whitstable. He's just passed his driving test, and is currently doing his A-levels. The other people in the commune have moved away, though he keeps in contact with them. His mum still lives in London, where she pursues a successful photography career. She's married, to another photographer. We all seem to get along.
And Joe is a typical young man. Smart-casual, with a citrus-gel quiff, and a habit of wearing aftershave though he hardly needs to shave. He drives his car - a Citroen AX - with a kind of controlled insouciance, changing up the gears and accelerating at an alarming rate. He's not at all like me. He's not at all like his mum. He's not at all like the other people in the commune, though he's learnt a lot from all of us. In my case, what I've had to teach him has been mainly negative. How not to live your life. How not to mess up your relationships. He's learnt his lessons well, being self-possessed and extraordinarily loyal. It's like he has learned the courage to be ordinary.
A credit to his Old Man.

Julie B. Dumond, PharmD, BCPS, AAHIVE, Research Assistant Professor in the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, is a pharmacist with strong training and background in patient-oriented research methodology, and a proven commitment to applying these methods to improving antiretroviral (ARV) use in HIV-infected patients. The candidate's long-term-career goal is to be an independently funded, academic pharmacometrician, with a rich and diverse experience in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling of antiretroviral drugs. In particular, the candidate will pursue prospective population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data collection, with the goal of quantifying age-related factors that influence drug response and toxicity. The candidate's short-term career goals fostered by this career development award are 1) to obtain formal training in advanced PK/PD, biostatistics, and computational methods, 2) to gain hands-on experience in population PK/PD modeling, 3) to foster working relationships with leading pharmacometricians, 4) to develop the preliminary data for an R34/U01 or R01 application, and 5) to expand her training in the responsible training of research. The proposed research plan, career development activities, and mentorship team are all uniquely suited to assist the applicant in achieving these goals. The research plan is built around the central hypothesis that: 1) altered ARV pharmacokinetics contributes to altered pharmacodynamics as measured by clinical response and toxicity, and 2) chronological age may only partly explain alterations in pharmacokinetics, and subsequently, pharmacodynamics. In this proposal, we will develop a pharmacokinetic and a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model in two specific aims for two common ARV regimens, emtricitabine/tenofovir/efavirenz (Atripla) and emtricitabine/tenofovir/atazanavir/ritonavir (Truvada, Reyataz, and Norvir). To accomplish these aims, we will use optimal sample design simulation to prospectively collect drug concentration and drug response data from HIV-infected adults receiving the regimens of interest. Subjects will be recruited from the University of North Carolina (UNC) Clinical HIV Cohort. To support the candidate's career development, she will pursue advanced coursework and independent study in the areas of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic theory and modeling, biostatistics, computational methods, and research ethics, in concert with hands-on modeling training. The mentorship team, which includes internationally-recognized, independently-funded investigators with expertise in ARV clinical pharmacology (Kashuba), pharmacometrics (Forrest), and HIV clinical care and research (Cohen), will guide Dr. Dumond's research, training, and professional development. The research environment including the NIH-funded Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute and Center for AIDS Research at UNC and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, will provide a productive, collegial, and collaborative atmosphere in which to pursue the above research and training goals. NARRATIVE By 2015, more than 50% of the HIV-infected population in the United States will be at least 50 years of age, and little is known about the optimal clinical care of aging HIV-infected patients. The goal of this and subsequent research is to identify patient-specific factors modifying antiretroviral response and toxicity. This could lead to specific treatment recommendations for older HIV-infected patients.

Quote of the Day: How Not to Be a Jackass
From the Hispanic Leadership Network, a conservative group offering advice to Republicans on how to use "tonally sensitive" language when talking about immigration reform:
Don't use phrases like 'send them all back,' 'electric fence,' 'build a wall along the entire border'....Don't use the word 'illegals' or 'aliens.' Don't use the term 'anchor baby'....Don't characterize all Hispanics as undocumented and all undocumented as Hispanics.
Good advice! (Via Steve Benen.)
