Former Nighthawk operative Tallan "Irish" O'Rierdan had never intended to accept another assignment—until the woman who had long haunted his dreams returned and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. An offer that put both their lives in grave danger....
Fellow agent Mary-Anne Poole was the childhood sweetheart he'd long ago been forced to leave...and now she was his wife. Because the only way these two agents could infiltrate the closely guarded estate of an international killer—and survive—was to convince their target that their scorching passion was real. But would their marriage of convenience heal the wounds of their past—and give them a chance at a future?
"There's fresh blood in this." Flashing a torch around the top of the cliff face, Tallan O'Rierdan, Nighthawk code name Irish, pointed out the stain to his team partner: a skidding footprint with a small dark pool near the heel.
Braveheart, the enormous bear of a man beside him, grinned, his teeth startlingly white against the camouflage darkened face. "So you nailed him. That was one hell of a shot in the dark, Irish."
Tal shrugged, squelching the instinctive surge of guilt. "Nowhere vital, by the looks of it." Yet his gut roiled. Shooting people went against all he believed in. Even hitting scum like Burstall, a renegade Fed who'd committed murder and almost killed a fellow Nighthawk, cut deep in a place he didn't want to analyze right now. But his objectives were clear: treat anyone injured by the rebel militia's free-for-all attack, find Burstall and bring him in - or down. "He's still on the move - toward Ka-Nin-Put."
Braveheart nodded. "Let's go."
The black camouflage paint on his face drove him nuts, but his training forced him to not scratch. He had to be invisible, unrecognizable in the jungle fatigues Nighthawks wore on recon in Search and Rescue assignments: just another soldier in a faceless army.
But the people in his secret army were SAR experts, nonofficial hunter-gatherer spies in a network only the top brass of any government knew existed, in a world few dared enter. The shadowy world of the Nighthawks.
"I'll go this way. You take that path and get to the village from behind. That way we cover our bases and block off escape."
Braveheart looked doubtful, but Irish's word was law on the field. "Meet in the middle?"
Tal nodded in detached interest, thinking how he'd treat the injured left to rot by the rebels. "ETA fifteen minutes."
The whining of bullets came closer as he ran, half crouching, toward the village, slinging his assault rifle behind him. Mortar bombs dropped not far off, thunder-filled quakes beneath his feet. The night sky blazed with the hail of silver and bloody fire, harbingers of death outshining the stars.
Sudden eerie silence all around Ka-Nin-Put told him the rebels had bolted. The brave, strong rebel army walked the walk and talked the talk with harmless villagers and young girls, but bolted when a few men with guns came near.
Just as well. If I found any of the little bastards now ... He kept the rifle firmly behind him. Temptation clawed at him as it was, the gnawing need to avenge what couldn't be avenged.
Keep it together, O'Rierdan. You're Search And Rescue, not search and kill.
From house to ravaged house, he found them all burned, with fallen and hanging doors and shattered windows bearing mute testimony to the rebels' attack - almost no evidence remained of the lives that once filled this quiet jungle village.
Please, let the Navy have got them out first. He didn't know if he could handle seeing any more people left for dead in a gaping, rubble-covered hole, or to find half-starved shivering kids hanging on to a cliff shelf until they fell into the sea. He had the skills to save them - and he would - but the nightmares the rescues engendered left him sleepless for months.
A pall of gray smoke hung beneath the night air, obscuring the stars. The stench of blood, fire and death lay everywhere. Casualties of war, they called this. Collateral damage. "What a load of crap," he muttered. There was no acceptable number of dead when you walked in the shoes of the people who'd lost acceptable family members or you found the bodies of the casualties of war hanging from trees or hacked to pieces. He couldn't let it happen if he could do anything to change it.
A long, quiet groan alerted him. He wasn't alone here.
"Kumusta po kayo? Doktor po ako," he called in Tagalog, hoping he got the words right and wasn't asking for something stupid like an umbrella or a cat skin. Hello, are you okay? I am a doctor. "Gusto ko kayong tulungan." I want to help you.
"Ai," came a weak call to the left.
The man was old, frail, very thin. His sallow dark skin hung in loose folds all over him. His almond-shaped eyes held no pain. "I cannot move," the old man said in his native language.
A puncture wound in the upper stomach, deep and lethal. The powder around the wound told him they'd shot this defenseless old man at close range: enough to have a near-identical wound coming out his spine, leaving him crippled. His vital organs would empty themselves out as he bled internally to death.
Tal didn't dare move him. "I will help you," he said in Tagalog, and gave the only help he could: a whopping shot of morphine. Then he sat beside the poor old guy and held his hand as he talked about his family and his lifetime in Ka-Nin-Put.
Ten minutes later Tal closed the man's eyes, got to his feet and punched the tree the body rested against. It shouldn't be like this! It was so bloody wrong to -
Sudden rustling let him know he had company in the steaming, acrid darkness. Probably Braveheart. But it could also be a villager hiding until the danger passed ... maybe a child, injured, or dying ... "Kumusta po kayo? Doktor po ako," he called again, unpacking the rest of his kit in case of serious injury. Yeah, he'd blow his cover if it was Burstall or even a Nighthawk, but this was why he'd left the Navy to join the elite spy-rescue group. It wasn't the worst risk he took on assignment. If the rebels found him, they'd take him as hostage to tend their injured - then barter him for a very high price. If he lived.
But the only answer was silence: no one called back, not in any language. "Hello? Who's there?"
In the quiet punctuated by the whine of bullets, his scalp prickled. No time to pack up his kit. Even if it was a Nighthawk out there, he'd blown his cover as a burned-out ex-Navy guy turned beach bum pilot, with mountain climbing and rappelling experience. Only Anson knew he was a doctor. He was so fanatical about Nighthawk security no operative knew anything about each other's life or background.
Except Songbird. An imp inside him gave the reminder. She knows more about you than Anson ever will.
Damn it, would he never stop thinking about her?
"G'day." A man dressed in black limped out from the tangled undergrowth around the village. With the night goggles, Tal saw the blood flowing down the man's left leg, and his savage grin. "Nice greasepaint on the face. Are you the bastard who shot me?"
"Yeah, and I can do it again." Tal scrambled up to come face-to-face with him. He whipped his night rifle from behind, praying Burstall wouldn't take up the challenge. In automatic mode, he checked Burstall's injury. Crikey, was that a cracked patella? Knees were so tricky to repair -
"Don't move." His eyes glittering in the darkness, Burstall held a grenade right in front of Tal's face. "Don't move, all you painted-up boys playing spies in the bush, or this one's dead meat. You shoot me, the pin's gone."
Despite the dank, sultry heat, Tal broke out in cold sweat. One year of psych training was enough to tell him this guy had a serious mental problem. He had to convince Burstall they were alone, then talk him down. "There's no one there."
Burstall sneered. "If you think I can't hear your mates belly-crawling through the undergrowth, you're even dumber than you look in your flak jacket and war paint, Rambo. So tell them to stay where they are," Burstall said softly, holding the grenade right in front of Tal's sweat-soaked face.
A lightning second to weigh his options, then he yelled, "Do as he says." If Anson or Linebacker tried to play the hero, or Braveheart did something smart with one of his pyrotechnic gadgets - talk Burstall down, now.
Tal spoke with quiet persuasion: the soothing tone he'd always used for his unstable or distressed patients. "You're surrounded. Give up, while you can. You may have some legal leverage now, but if you kill someone -"

'Non-official hunter-gatherer spies in a network only the top brass of any government knew existed, in a world few dared enter. The shadowy world of the Nighthawks.' Can you Forget? is the second book in Melissa James Nighthawk series. Oh, Tallan! The first couple of chapters were heartbreaking. Ms. James has definitely set Tallan up to be a tortured hero. With the added bonus of this being a Beauty and the Beast story. And as with any Beauty and the Beast story the 'Beast' usually suffers from low self-esteem and can never really believe that the 'Beauty' loves them. What makes this book unusual is that both the hero and heroine have been in the role of the 'beast' and both have been in the role of the 'beauty'. Very interesting. Tallan was the highschool football player hunk, and Mary-Anne was the overweight shy girl that truly loved him. Tal loved Mary-Anne, but because of a force beyond their control (Ginny) they couldn't be together. Now years have gone by and the roles have reversed-Tal is battered and scarred and Mary-Anne is a bombshell. Both are operatives and they are asked to come together in the most important dangerous mission of their lives. I love the fact that this book is so closely linked to the first book in the series Who do you Trust? As a matter of fact, the story in Can you Forget? is a direct result of what happened in Who do you Trust?. In the end of Who do you Trust? we learn who the bad guy is (I won't mention his name in case some of you have not read the first book yet). I will say that the bad guy in this book is the same man and he is just as evil, maybe even more so, and he is looking for revenge. That is where Tallan and Mary-Anne come in, it is their job to take this guy down. For Tal and Mary-Anne this mission is personal in many ways. Tal wants revenge for the personal physical damage this man has inflicted on him and other operatives. Tallan and Mary-Anne also share a past, and their feelings for each other have never gone away. Which makes the story very interesting considering they have to get married to pull off this mission. Sparks fly-and the sexual tension between the two practically leaps off the page. I really enjoyed this book and was rooting for the couple the whole way. At times I wanted to scream at them for letting their insecurities get in the way, but otherwise I was trying to read as fast as possible to see what happens next. In Who do you Trust, it seems that the mission at times overtook the story, but in Can you Forget the romance was always front and center. I really liked this book and can't wait for the next book in the series, Dangerous Illusion.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

A process for separating small molecules from a sample containing small and large molecules using a porous separation medium having bimodal chemistry wherein the small molecules are first removed is disclosed.
1. A process for separating molecules of at least two different sizes from a sample containing such comprising the steps of (1) adding a sample that contains at least two different size molecules to a device that contains a porous separation medium having at least two different types of functionalites with each different type of functionality segregated in pores of different sizes, (2) separating the smaller molecules contained in the sample by eluting them with a first mobile phase leaving the larger molecules sorbed in the porous medium, and (3) thereafter eluting the largest of molecules by washing the porous separation medium with a different mobile phase.
2. The process of claim 1, wherein the small molecules are hydrophobic.
3. The process of claim 2, wherein the small molecules are drugs.
4. The process of claim 1, wherein the large molecules are polymers.
5. The process of claim 1, wherein the large molecules are proteins.
6. The process of claim 1, wherein the sample is blood plasma or serum containing small molecules.
7. The process of claim 1, wherein the device is a column containing the porous separation medium.
8. The process of claim 7, wherein the column is packed with porous beads.
9. The process of claim 1, wherein the device is a continuous porous rod.
10. The process of claim 1, wherein the porous separation medium has large and small pores and contains ion-exchange chemistry in large pores and reversed-phase chemistry in small pores.
11. The process of claim 1, wherein the mobile phases used in steps (2) and (3) are mixtures of at least two components.
12. The process of claim 11, wherein the mobile phase for elution of small molecules is a mixture of acetonitrile and an aqueous buffer.
13. The process of claim 11, wherein the mobile phase for elution of large molecules is an aqueous buffer that contains dissolved salt.
Deproteinization of a sample by precipitation or solvent extraction typically precedes the determination of drugs, endogenous metabolites or other small molecules in physiological liquids by high-performance liquid chromatography. This pretreatment prevents the accumulation of proteins in the column that would likely lead to clogging and fast deterioration of the separation efficiency. However, such pretreatment is time consuming and does not always give reproducible and quantitative results. Therefore, different methods have been developed that allow the direct injection of these complex samples into a chromatograph. The simplest is solid phase extraction (SPE) in which the SPE column is disposed of after each injection. The precolumn technique utilizing two columns in tandem has significant advantages over SPE. Several hundred injections can be made on the precolumn. However, the precolumn technique requires an additional pump, a column switching device and computer control of events.
In parallel, stationary phases based on modified porous silica have been developed to allow the direct injection of complex matrices such as plasma, serum, saliva, and urine into a column for the determination of drugs and metabolites without any pre-treatment (D. J. Anderson, Anal. Chem., 65 (1993) 434R).
The majority of direct injection stationary phases yet described in the literature are based on silica that has been modified in order to prevent the contact of protein molecules with hydrophobic or charged functionalities attached to surface of the stationary phase (Pinkerton U.S. Pat. No. 4,544,485). In each case, the modification of the pores is uniform and affects all pores regardless of their size. Moreover, some of these silica based packings have limited working pH range, ionic strength range, or do not allow any high concentrations of organic solvent in the mobile phase during the reversed phase chromatography. The modifications may also impair diffusion of the low molecular weight compounds that have to be separated, and the slow mass transfer results in lower column efficiencies (about 20-36,000 plates/m) when compared to those of typical reversed phase silica columns.
Polymeric stationary phases have gained considerable popularity in HPLC due to their chemical stability in the entire pH range, broad variety of available surface groups chemistries and polarities. Styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers are the most often used polymeric stationary phases. Their highly hydrophobic surface accounts for their extensive use in reversed-phase chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography in non-aqueous media. A search for more hydrophilic stationary phases is still in progress in order to develop polymeric media for the separation of water soluble hydrophilic compounds and proteins without damaging their biological activity. Though more rugged in terms of chemical resistance, the polymeric stationary phases are essentially less efficient than silica based phases with efficiencies seldom exceeding 30,000 plates/m. Despite this limitation, the ability to modify the chemistry within specialized polymer phases remains a very significant advantage that frequently justifies their use. Recently, a few stationary phases for direct injection chromatography of complex samples based entirely on organic polymers were described in the literature (Hosoya et al., Chromatographia 38 (1994) 177; Beth et al. (Chromatographia 36 (1993) 351; Smigol et al, J. Liquid Chromatog. 17 (1994) 891).
The chromatographic method used for all of the separation media for direct injection chromatography is essentially the same. The sample that typically contains large protein molecules and small hydrophobic molecules (drugs, metabolites, etc.) is injected into the packed column and eluted with a mobile phase consisting of an aqueous buffer solution and an organic solvent. Due to the design of the separation media, the proteins are not retained within the column and elute in the void volume. In contrast, small more hydrophobic molecules are retained in the separation medium and elute after the proteins in an order that reflects their hydrophobicity. The typical drawback of such a direct injection separation technique is that the peak of the proteins typically has a long tail and less hydrophobic small molecules elute before the major peak reaches the baseline. This has an impact on the accuracy of the quantitative determination of small molecule drugs.
A far better approach would be to separate the small molecules first while the proteins remain completely retained on the top of the column and are released only by a different mobile phase at the end of the chromatographic run. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to achieve the complete separation of small molecules in complex samples using a technique that is inverse to the techniques of the prior art.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a process for separating molecules from complex samples in a single column packed with a packing material that has two different types of functionalities with each different of functionality segregated in pores of different sizes. Thus, for example, pores within one pore size range will have one type of functionality and pores within a different pore size range will have a different functionality.
The process comprises (1) adding a sample that contains at least two different size molecules to a device that contains a porous separation medium having at least two different types of functionalites with each different type of functionality segregated in pores of different sizes, (2) separating the smaller molecules contained in the sample by eluting them with a first mobile phase leaving the larger molecules sorbed in the porous medium, and (3) thereafter eluting the larger molecules by washing the sample and porous separation medium with a different mobile phase. This process may contain multiple steps whereby molecules of different sizes are separated in a series of mobile phase washings using a different mobile phase for each different group of molecules. In such case, separation will take place according to the polarity of the small molecules so that all the small molecules in one set are removed followed by another set of small molecules. The selection of the particular mobile phase will depend on the chemistry of the small molecules and the chemistry of the porous medium being used. After each washing, the large molecules in the sample remain adhered to the porous separation medium in its larger pores. While this process can be used with any sample containing small and large molecules, it is particularly useful in separating small molecules such as drugs from large molecules such as proteins, like those contained in blood plasma or serum, and polymers. As used herein, small molecules generally have a molecular weight of less than about 1000 and large molecules generally have a molecular weight that exceeds that value. The large pores of the porous separation medium are provided with a chemistry that enables them to interact with the larger molecules such as proteins and bind them temporarily. The small molecules can penetrate the small pores provided with a different chemistry and are separated according to their polarity. During this separation, the large molecules remain absorbed in the column. After the separation of the small molecules of interest is completed, the composition of the mobile phase is changed and the proteins eluted. This "clean up" step must be followed by the washing with the original mobile phase, that again allows the selective binding of large molecules and the separation of small ones, when the next sample to be injected has to be separated under the condition of the previous separation. Otherwise, this clean-up mobile phase may be different but still suitable for analysis.
The device used to carry out the process of the present invention is preferably a conventional chromatographic separation column, but may be any suitable device to effect the desired separation.
FIG. 1 is the chromatogram resulting from the Example.
In the process of the present invention, the mobile phase used to separate the small molecules from the porous separation medium will, as explained previously, depend on the polarity of the small molecules to be separated. Suitable mobile phases to effect such separation generally contain a mixture of an aqueous buffer solution with low ionic strength; eg., an ionic strength of from about 0.001 to 0.01 mol/L, and up to 50% of an organic solvent. Suitable aqueous buffer solutions include, for example, phosphate, borate, acetate, TRIS-HCl and glycinate. Suitable solvents include tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, methanol and propanol.
After separation of the small molecules, the large molecules which remain in the large pores of the separation medium are separated using a suitable eluting media such as buffered solutions of inorganic salts like sodium chloride, potassium chloride and ammonium sulfate in a concentration of from about 0.5 to 2.5 mol/L.
The packing material used to pack the chromatographic column used in the present invention must be a porous material having bimodal chemistry; i.e. at least two different types of functionality segregated in pores of different sizes.
The separation according to the present invention cannot be achieved with the common separation media. Even if two different separation media, each one provided with one of the chemistries accomodated in the dual chemistry beads, would be blended, the separation of a complex sample would not be possible. For example, a blend of ion-exchange beads and hydrophobic reversed-phase separation medium would operate for a very limited number of assays because the "clean-up" procedure typical for the present invention is not able to remove the proteins adsorbed on the surface of the hydrophobic medium. The proteins will accumulate there and deteriorate the separation ability of the beads very quickly.
The separation according to the present invention also cannot be achieved with the more conventional media used for direct injection chromatography. These media are designed in such a way that the proteins must not be sorbed in any suitable mobile phase. Therefore, the peak of proteins precedes the peaks of the small molecules with the consequence of an incomplete separation of the less retained hydrophobic compounds. The particular bimodal chemistry may be designed to effect the desired separation. The presently preferred process for making such porous separation media generally comprises treating a porous material having reactive groups within its pores with a modifying agent of a size which penetrates into only certain pores of the porous material, which modifying agent chemically modifies or assists in the chemical modification of the reactive groups only within the pores so penetrated. The porous material may have a variety of different pore sizes generally ranging from about 1 to 1500 nm. The surfaces of the pores have surface groups which are reactive groups such as epoxy, alcohol, acetal, aldehyde, chloromethyl, thiol, amine, ester, carboxylic acid and anhydride, amide, oxime, imine, hydrazone, enamine, or oxazoline groups. The reactive groups within the pores determine the reactivity of the surfaces thereof.
The process selectively modifies the pores of the porous material by employing a modifying agent which reacts with the reactive groups in the pores, or catalyzes their reaction with another reagent, to chemically modify the reactive surface groups to different surface groups, thereby changing the surface functionality of the pore surface. For example, hydrophilic reactive groups can be changed to hydrophobic groups and vice-versa, changing the surface functionality of the pore surface.
Selective modification is achieved by using a modifying agent such as a catalyst or reagent which is of a size which permits it to penetrate into only certain sized pores. Once it penetrates into the pores in which it fits, the chemical modification occurs transforming the reactive groups therein to surface groups of a different functionality than the original reactive groups. The pores into which the modifying agent can not penetrate because of size constraints remain unmodified. The resultant porous material contains pores with different surface functionalities.
The process also includes the preparation of materials possessing different reactive groups in pores of different sizes by a series of consecutive reactions using modifying agents with different molecular sizes. In this way, a porous material may be produced containing two or more different surface functionalities localized in pores of different sizes. For example, the porous material may be first modified using a relatively low molecular volume modifying agent which transforms all accessible groups in substantially all of the pores from one functionality to another functionality, and then another modifying agent with a larger molecular volume than the first modifying agent is used to penetrate only relatively larger pores, thereby changing the functionality therein. In a consecutive fashion, modifying agents each having relatively larger molecular volumes than the last one employed may be used to change the functionalities only in the pores in which they fit. While this convergent process may employ an unlimited number of different size modifying agents, generally from about 2 to 5 and more preferably from about 2 to 3 different size modifying agents are used. The resultant porous material generally contains pores with about 2 to 5 and more preferably from about 2 to 3 different functionalities. The convergent process can be reversed by starting with a relatively large modifying agent and gradually decreasing the size of the modifying agent in each divergent process step. Alternatively the convergent and divergent process can be combined using, for example, a relatively small molecular volume catalyst in the first reaction step, a relatively large molecular volume catalyst in the second reaction step and modifying agents with molecular volumes therebetween the two used in the first two step in remaining steps. The process variants depend on the porous material, modifying agent, reactive groups and desired product.
The products so produced comprise porous materials having at least two different pore size ranges, with the pores of one size range having surface groups of one functionality and the pores of another size range having surface groups of a different functionality. For example, pores within the range of 1 up to 5 nm may have hydrophilic groups and pores within the range of more than 5 to 50 nm may have hydrophobic groups. Numerous other combinations are possible.
The selection of the porous material and the modifying agent will depend on the desired result. Thus, the porous material may be selected so that it has hydrophobic groups in its pores, which groups can be changed by the modifying agent to be hydrophilic groups in all but the smallest pores. Alternatively, the porous material may be selected so that it has hydrophilic groups within its pores, which can be changed by the modifying agent to be hydrophobic groups in all but certain sized pores. In conjunction with choosing the porous material, the modifying agent must also be chosen to produce a certain result. The modifying agent must be chosen so that it is capable of reacting with, or catalyzing, the reaction of the reactive groups in the pores of the porous material. Relatively large (molecular size) modifying agents may be used in situations wherein it is desired to only modify the surface characteristics of the larger pores in the porous material. Alternatively, a relatively small modifying agent may be used in situations wherein it is desired to modify the majority of the pores in the porous material. The degree of chemical modification and the size of pores modified can, by this preselection technique, be controlled to produce a predesigned porous material intended for a particular end use.
A large variety of porous materials may be employed in the process. Suitable porous materials include macroporous polymers such as polymers of glycidyl methacrylate or acrylate; 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate or acrylate; allyl methacrylate or acrylate; chloromethylstyrene; 4-tert-butoxycarbonyloxystyrene; vinylacetate; vinylacetals; vinyl alcohol, vinylbenzyl alcohol or vinyl phenol and esters or ethers thereof; 4-nitrophenyl acrylate; 2,4,5-tri-chlorophenyl acrylate; acryloyl succinimide; maleic acid; vinylbenzaldehyde, acrolein, or methacrolein or acetal, imine, oxime, or hydrazone derivatives thereof; crosslinked with any of divinylbenzene; ethylene dimethacrylate or acrylate; diethylene glycol methacrylate or acrylate; divinylpyridine; bis-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone; N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide; or trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. Other suitable porous materials are based on natural polysaccharides such as cellulose, chitin, agarose, guar, and dextran. The porous material may also be an inorganic oxide such as silica, titania, zirconia, alumina, magnesia, and porous glass. Other suitable porous materials include bonded reactive phase materials prepared by the reaction of an inorganic oxide with a reactive silylation agent such as 1-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, and other silanes. The medium pore size of such porous materials is from about 2 to about 100 nm. The pore size distribution generally ranges from about 1 to about 1500 nm. The porous material may be of any suitable shape such as beaded (spherical), irregular, rod shaped, flat membrane-like or any other continous shape. These porous materials are either commercially available from sources such as Rohm and Haas, Mitsubishi, Dow, Bio-Rad, and Merck, or may be prepared by techniques known in the art such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,343, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Each porous material contains particular reactive groups within its pores. Depending upon the porous material, the reactive groups can include epoxy, alcohol, acetal, aldehyde, chloromethyl, thiol, amine, ester, carbonate, carboxylic acid, amide, oxime, imine, hydrazone, enamine, oxazoline or carboxylic anhydride groups. The reactive groups will determine which modifying agents need to be used to modify the reactive groups to obtain the desired surface functionality of the pores in the porous material. The final surface functionality depends on the reaction scheme used to produce the final surface groups and to a lesser extent the initial surface groups. Example of suitable reaction schemes are disclosed hereinafter. Surface groups according to the present invention may have functionalities that include hydrophobic, hydrophilic, anion-exchange, cation-exchange, affinity, charge transfer, catalytic and metal ion complexing.
The modifying agents are selected by their size and ability to react with or catalyze the modification of reactive groups in the pores of the porous material. The size of the modifying agent is selected based on the pore sizes of the porous material containing reactive groups to be modified. Suitable modifying agents for larger pores, e.g. greater than about 10 nm, include polymeric catalysts such as poly(styrenesulfonic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), poly(acrylic acid), poly(vinylbenzoic acid), or a peracid thereof; poly(ethyleneimine) and its quaternized derivatives, poly(triethylaminoethyl methacrylate), polyvinylpyridine and its quaternized derivatives, or poly(trimethylaminomethylstyrene) and polymeric reagents including a polymeric carbodimide or similar polymeric coupling agent; a polymeric dimethylaminopyridine or similar acylation agent, polymeric amine or other polymers containing basic substituents. Suitable modifying agents for smaller pores, e.g. about 1 to about 10 nm, include such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, triethylamine, dimethylaminopyridine. The small pore agents will be capable of modifying not only the small pores but also the large pores.
It is well known that the size of a polymer molecule in solution or its hydrodynamic volume, i.e. the volume it occupies in solution, varies with its molecular weight and with the solvent used. (P. J. Flory, Principles of Polymer Chemistry, Cornell University Press, 1953); (G. Allen and J. Bevington, Eds., Comprehensive Polymer Science, Pergamon Press, 1989, Volume 2, p. 199).
In the case of the reagent, the reagent reacts with the reactive groups in the pores of the porous material into which it enters to change them chemically into different surface groups. The catalyst on the other hand functions by catalyzing the reaction of the reactive groups with a reagent present in the pores. For example, if the surface of the pores contain reactive epoxy groups and if the catalyst is a polymeric acid in water, the epoxy groups will react with water in a hydrolysis reaction that will transform the epoxy groups into diol groups only when the catalyst is present. In the areas where the polymeric acid catalyst is not present (small pores because of size constraints), the epoxy groups will not react with water since the hydrolysis reaction cannot occur in the absence of the catalyst. After the modification of the desired pores is finished, the catalyst is washed out of the pores and may be reused for a subsequent modification.
More specific examples of the production of the bimodal separation media useful in the process of the present invention are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,680, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention will now be described with reference to the following non-limiting Example in which all parts and percents are by weight unless otherwise specified.
The separation media that contains strictly segregated diethylaminohydroxypropyl functionalities in large pores and octadecyl functionalities in small pores was prepared in accordance with the procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,680. Specifically, the hydrolysis of the poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) resin containing epoxide groups was catalyzed with 1 wt. % aqueous solution of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) MW5 000 containing 0.054 mol/L sulfonic groups. The epoxide resin (1.6 g) was placed in a 50 mL beaker, 10 mL of aqueous catalyst solution was added and the beaker sealed with Parafilm. The dispersion was stirred magnetically at ambient temperature for 48 hours. The resulting beads were then filtered off on a fritted glass filter and washed with water until neutral, washed with acetone, and dried in vacuo at room temperature.
The beads containing both vicinal hydroxyl groups in large pores and residual epoxide groups in small pores were admixed to 5 g molten octadecylamine in a 50-mL round bottom flask at 70� C. and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with 20 mL 1,4-dioxane, stirred for 30 minutes and filtered. The resulting beads were washed with dioxane and water. Any unreacted epoxide groups remaining due to steric constrains were hydrolyzed in 20 mL 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid at 60� C. for 4 hours. The beads were filtered, washed with water, then with methanol and dried. The amino groups content of the beads was 0.35 mmol/g as determined by elemental analysis of nitrogen as well as by an acid-base titration.
Dry beads from the previous reaction step were dispersed in 20 mL water and stirred magnetically for 16 h. The excess water was removed on a fritted glass filter and the beads redispersed in 20 mL 50 wt. % aqueous KOH and stirred for 1 hr. After removal of the liquid, the beads were added to 40 ml of an epichlorohydrin-water (1:1) mixture and stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The product was washed with water and acetone and dried to afford beads containing epoxide functionalities in the large pores only (1.12 mmol/g epoxide groups determined by volumetric titration).
The epoxidized beads were placed in a 50-mL round bottom flask and 20 mL diethylamine was added. After heating at reflux (55� C.) for 6 hours, the resin was filtered and washed with water. Any remaining unreacted epoxide groups were again hydrolyzed in 20 mL 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid at 60� C. for 4 hours. Finally, the beads were filtered, washed with water, then with methanol and dried. The beads contained 0.62 mmol/g diethylaminohydroxypropl groups, as determined by elemental analysis of nitrogen after subtraction of the nitrogen introduced with octadecylamino groups.
A liquid chromatographic column 100 mm long and 8 mm in diameter was packed with the modified beads in a flow of water under a constant pressure of 10 MPa and the column was attached to a Waters HPLC chromatograph. The peaks were monitored at 254 nm.
An artificial sample (20 μL) used to mimic human blood plasma comprising a solution of bovine plasma (70 mg/mL) and anticonvulsant drugs carbazepamine (8 μg/mL) and phenytoin (40 μg/ml) was injected into the column. The column was first eluted with a 20:80 vol. % mixture of 0.01 mol/L TRIS-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.6) and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. As seen in the chromatogram of FIG. 1, the drugs were baseline separated within 10 min without any interference of the plasma proteins. The proteins remained adsorbed by an ion-exchange mechanism in the large pores during this separation. After 15 minutes of elution with the acetonitrile containing mobile phase, the mobile phase was changed to water for 2 minutes followed by 1 mol/L sodium chloride solution in the 0.01 TRIS-HCl buffer and the adsorbed protein released as a single large peak. After the clean-up with sodium chloride solution, the column was washed for 2 minutes with water and for 3 minutes with the acetonitrile containing mobile phase. When the washing procedure was completed, the column was ready for the next injection.

News Release
Fifth Third Bank Launches New Direct Investment Program
Inaugural Investment Awarded to Marketing Optimization Software Company
Cincinnati - Fifth Third Bank has launched a new Direct Investment Program to invest in early stage companies to support a strong, entrepreneurial business community within Fifth Third Bank's commercial market footprint. The Bank's purpose for this program is to help accelerate job growth in a recovering economy and to earn a strong financial return. Fifth Third Bank has engaged West Capital Advisors, LLC, a Cincinnati-based company that co-manages strategic investments for corporations, to assist in the development and execution of this new program.
Fifth Third Bank has made an initial investment in ThinkVine, a Cincinnati-based, marketing optimization software company, as part of this new program. ThinkVine plans to use the net proceeds of this investment to accelerate its product roadmap by adding several capabilities and product features, to invest in more targeted sales and marketing efforts and to continue to build a strong team to meet the increased demand for its marketing optimization software.
"We selected ThinkVine as our initial investment because it had developed a business model that was not only repeatable but that had shown results," says Vanessa Indriolo Vreeland, senior vice president and managing director of private equity group lending for Fifth Third Bank. "ThinkVine has developed highly-differentiated software for business-to-consumer marketers. The company has a talented management team that is driving growth and creating jobs. It offers the Bank an opportunity for a strong or appropriate risk-adjusted return on its investment, and it is exactly the type of business we want to support as part of our new investment program."
The average investment size for Fifth Third's new direct investment program is expected to be $250,000 to $1,000,000 per round in a funding series. Criteria Fifth Third Bank will consider in selecting companies include:
- Early stage entrepreneurial business with an initial product or service developed and a customer validated business model that is repeatable.
- Products and services offered must be unique solutions, which address a large and compelling market and offer a competitive advantage.
- Company has generated revenue or has an appropriate time frame for expected revenue creation.
- Company is located within Fifth Third Bank's commercial footprint.
"Through this new program, Fifth Third Bank seeks to participate in providing funding for companies that have matured beyond the initial stages of development with a strong business model and a knowledgeable management team able to take the organization to the next level. We see this as an excellent opportunity to support entrepreneurs and their innovation initiatives in Ohio that have emerged over the last decade." adds Vreeland.
Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company has $117 billion in assets and operates 15 affiliates with 1,316 full-service Banking Centers, including 104 Bank Mart® locations open seven days a week inside select grocery stores and 2,425 ATMs in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Georgia and North Carolina. Fifth Third operates four main businesses: Commercial Banking, Branch Banking, Consumer Lending and Investment Advisors. Fifth Third also has a 49% interest in Vantiv, LLC, formerly Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC. Fifth Third is among the largest money managers in the Midwest and, as of December 31, 2011, had $282 billion in assets under care, of which it managed $24 billion for individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations.

Mackie Shilstone / Fitness Expert
There are so many supplements out there from which to choose. Here are my top 5 recommendations for supplements for men. Next week, we'll look at the top 5 for women. For more information, visit mackieshilstone.com.
1. A daily multivitamin
Based on the concept that a multiple vitamin/mineral preparation is an excellent first choice, here is a starting point. You should start with your diet, however, and build from there. Key elements for men include Vitamin D, which controls over 1,700 processes in the body, including testosterone production. Folate and B-12 are also important in the multi-vitamin. Zinc is important for wound healing and testosterone.
2. CoQ 10 :
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance found naturally in the body. It helps convert food into energy. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, which fights damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process, as well as a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Some researchers believe that CoQ10 may help with heart-related conditions, because it can improve energy production in cells, prevent blood clot formation, and act as an antioxidant. Talk your doctor about whether or not you need it, however.
3. Milk Thistle:
The active ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin. You want to make sure you get a standardized amount of silymarin in every capsule. It may protect the liver from environmental toxins, such as ethanol. It also increases the antioxidants in the liver. Beware of some drug/nutrient interactions, however, and talk with your doctor first.
4. Omega 3 Fatty Acids:
Omega 3 does an incredible amount of things for heart and vascular function, as well as cognitive function. It can also lower your triglycerides. The Omega-3 may need to be prescribed on different levels, based on your doctor's recommendation. On a basic level, 500mg, but your doctor may use 2,000-4,000mg to drop your triglycerides.
5. Grape Seed Extract :
Grape seed skin, and resveratrol in particular, has demonstrated several antioxidant properties. It has also been shown to be effective in those with metabolic syndrome, improving blood pressure, and providing some immune system support. Be aware of drug/nutrient interactions, however.

The reason I asked the above question is my PCP prescribed generic for Norco..because I have been having upper back pain ranging from the base of my neck down my spine to where a bra ends. When my PCP had Xrays done he found 2 fractured vertibre with no apparent reasoning why. That lead to a Bone Density Test. Which basicially said Osteopenia. Meanwhile I work in a elementary school Cafeteria and by the time I get off Im in agony. I can not quit work we need the income so I asked for something stronger so I could continue working that's when Tramadol came. I am also seeing a Pain doctor who gave me a Medial Nerve Block that lasted maybe 2 days and I have been in agony since. If the Norco is stronger why would he give me something weaker knowing I'm in alot of pain?

You didn't say how he ordered the tramadol. I would say its not as strong, but it doesnt have that drowsiness side effect either so you could be taking it at work. I have found thro 10 yrs of taking it, that you have to take 100mg, and you have to take it on a regular basis, it does not work if you take it after the pain starts. I take 100 mg every 6 hours. The maximum dose a day is 400mg. It can be addicting so don't exceed that. If your doc gives you grief on ordering it that way, tell him to call me, lol. It took me a while to get my doc educated to that fact, lol. The other thing is the DEA is really making life difficult for docs, and he won't have as much trouble with them with tramadol as with norco, because as of now it is not federally controlled.
Thanks for letting me know something Kaismama, because my PCP ordered Tramadol 50mg one during the day and one at night. I did not know that if your already in pain they have a tendency not to work well too. The good news is I went to the pain clinic doctor today and he gave me a prescript for Flexerl on top of the tramadol and generic Norco to try and get rid of some of the pain I still have. I know what is causing most of my pain I'm still working so by the time I get off I'm in agony and I still keep working doing the household chores that must be done. No one ever told me that once your in pain the medications either never work or have a difficult time helping.
I would say let pain management deal with your pain, they understand about chronic pain. You can beat chronic pain easier if you have the medication in your system all the time. Time release meds are great, but alot of insurances aren't paying for them anymore. I had to stop mine and go back on regular tramadol. I'd take the tramadol during the day while you work, then take what the pain doc gave you. 50 mg of tram ever 12 hrs is nothing. It assuages his guilt over not treating you more then it helps you.
Does anyone know of a Dr who isn't afraid of giving pain meds I had a spinal disc fusion it hasn't helped my surgeon told me today he has NEVER had to give pain meds to anyone 4 months after surgery. I'm in extreme pain and need a Dr EASE

Objective Reading of Loudness of a Sound Programme
An objective measure for audio level loudness is increasingly required by broadcasters in order to produce a homogeneous sound surface. 30 years ago, ISO issued a specification for a system that could produce an objective value of the equivalent loudness. The specification has had only a limited impact due to its complexity of implementation. By means of digital signal processing, a low-cost simple-to-operate system has been implemented in the DK-Audio master stereo display.

text: Vino is described as an "intense violet purple." It's a blackened burgundy with strong, cool red undertones. The consistency was dry and a little stiff; I found that this left crumbles of color all over my lips so that they looked like they were covered in black specks, which I tried to remove the best I could prior to photographing. This is part of the permanent range. It wears eight hours or longer, though it's terribly uncomfortable and fairly drying. MAC Talk That Talk (LE, $19.50) is a bit darker (seems to be more pigmented/smoother, which gives it a better payoff). Urban Decay Venom (P, $19.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches.

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Situated along the eastern edge of the Parque Eduardo, the quiet Hotel Miraparque offers comfortable rooms and three-star service. The rates aren't the cheapest in town, but the price is reasonable given the quality provided.
The Miraparque's 96 rooms are attractively fashioned in blues, golds and reds, with handsome wooden headboards and deco-style lights. All rooms have a satellite TV, minibar, soundproof windows and air conditioning. Half of the rooms look out to the park, while the others face the street to the back. Additionally, all guestrooms have a small, separate entrance room, with door, to keep out noise from the hallway. (That's a big plus.)
Bathrooms are marble tiled, equipped with tubs (except in singles) and provide counters large enough to store toiletries.
From the outside, the hotel's restored exterior is dignified and classy. The refurbished lobby is a modern mix of sleek wooden paneling, a bronze sculpture and watercolor prints. The receptionists are friendly and efficient.
A buffet breakfast is usually included in the room rate (check when booking) and served in the hotel's gorgeous '60s-era breakfast room (love the mod chandeliers!). A prim and proper park-side restaurant serves traditional Portuguese meals at night.
Wi-Fi is available in the hotel for a fee. The hotel is a one-minute walk to the "Parque" metro stop.

Why were some countries able to build "developmental states" in the decades after World War II while others were not? Through a richly detailed examination of India's experience, Locked in Place argues that the critical factor was the reaction of domestic capitalists to the state-building project. During the 1950s and 1960s, India launched an extremely ambitious and highly regarded program of state-led development. But it soon became clear that the Indian state lacked the institutional capacity to carry out rapid industrialization. Drawing on newly available archival sources, Vivek Chibber mounts a forceful challenge to conventional arguments by showing that the insufficient state capacity stemmed mainly from Indian industrialists' massive campaign, in the years after Independence, against a strong developmental state.
Chibber contrasts India's experience with the success of a similar program of state-building in South Korea, where political elites managed to harness domestic capitalists to their agenda. He then develops a theory of the structural conditions that can account for the different reactions of Indian and Korean capitalists as rational responses to the distinct development models adopted in each country.
Provocative and marked by clarity of prose, this book is also the first historical study of India's post-colonial industrial strategy. Emphasizing the central role of capital in the state-building process, and restoring class analysis to the core of the political economy of development, Locked in Place is an innovative work of theoretical power that will interest development specialists, political scientists, and historians of the subcontinent.

Latino baseball: Richard A. Santillan, who is planning a book about the history of Latino baseball in Orange County, is seeking photos of South County athletes and teams.
So far, he's collected more than 300 photos for it, and gathered photos at events in such locales as Santa Ana, Placentia and Westminster.
"One of our major concerns is that we have very few photos from South County," Santillan said. "We have had contacts and leads but little luck with baseball photos."
You can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Santillan is documenting the history of Mexican American baseball, from 1900 to 1960 in several communities. He is seeking photos depicting players and teams, including males and females. The subjects in the photos can be neighborhood, youth, high school, college, military, semi-professional, church, minor and major league teams and athletes. He's focusing on the period because of the role baseball played in the development of the Mexican American community.
He and co-author Francisco E. Balderrama wrote "Mexican American Baseball in Los Angeles."
The second book in the series, "Mexican American Baseball in the Inland Empire," is available for pre-sale on Amazon.com. Amazon has listed the book at $14.95 and says it will be available May 7.

Load in Hugo's Mouth
While Tommy Lima is sitting at the bar chatting up the hot Heriberto Ponce who's behind the bar, we take a trip into the bathroom. Miguel Torres taking a piss is somehow one of the hottest things in the world. Evidently Hugo Lopez agrees. As he steps out of the stall and spots Miguel at the pisser he can't seem to look away. Miguel fucks his face like a hard before he climbs up the boy's ass. One of the hottest things about Miguel on film is how clearly he enjoys having a hot hole wrapped around his big fucking dick. It's incredible watching his hairy body drive his huge cock into this smooth twink before Hugo's back on his knees getting his neck fucked by Miguel. It makes you think the scene is about to end but Miguel sits back on a urinal and pulls Hugo right back onto his prick. It's not long before Hugo's back on his knees and cumming on the tile with Miguel's cock back in his face. Miguel dumps an amazing load in Hugo's mouth. I'd have loved to walk into that t

I did add one large onion and a tablespoon of worchestershire sauce. This was a little thick, I did add a little canned milk to thin it out just a touch. Very rich, very good. NO LEFTOVERS. This reminds me of something similar Mom made for me when I was growing up.
Very good.

I've seen many recipes for "ground beef" stroganoff over the years, but this is the first time I've made one. The one thing that I didn't like was that the sour cream totally liquified once combined with the meat. The dish had zero eye appeal because of the watery texture. The Greek seasoning was a nice addition, but overall, this stroganoff was a disappointment. In all fairness, it could be that I wouldn't like any ground beef stroganoff, so moving forward, I'll stick with the real deal version. Sorry olderguy for the less than favorable review.
