Spirited Cordoba's Riches

More satisfying was a visit to AltaJU Gracia, about 20 miles southwest of the city. This is another of the places Ernesto Guevara lived before he became Che. His parents brought him because the climate was supposed to be good for his asthma. What attracted me was not the climate but the remains of one of the best preserved of the Jesuit estancias, or agricultural complexes, where the priests trained and employed Indian labor in what amounted to the first modern ''development'' project in the area. The estancia was later owned by Santiago Liniers, hero of the defense of Buenos Aires against the English in 1806-07 and the next-to-last viceroy of the Rio de la Plata. Liniers opposed Buenos Aires' declaration of autonomy from Spain in 1810, and fled to his estancia to organize a royalist resistance. He was captured and executed in Cordoba later the same year, but the estancia remained in the family for many years. THE church and old priests' quarters are now a museum, owned by the state but cared for by an administrator who is a descendant of Liniers. The plumbing is a marvel; the 16th-century priests had a perpetually flushing collective toilet so pristine and inviting that the museum staff has put up signs telling you to look, but not to use it. This, together with the architecture and other fixtures, suggests much about the urbanity and ingenuity of the Jesuits.Despite its long use as a secular residence, the dormitory level of the main building still retains inscriptions in a rather simple, late medieval Latin, reminding the fathers that they slept in the company of angels.
Furnishings from the Liniers family and later owners include enormous wooden sideboards and other elaborate, heavy furniture, which tells another kind of story.
In the last years of the 19th century, these objects were brought by sea from Germany or France and then by rail to Alta Gracia - despite the ready availability of local wood and craftsmen, many of them European immigrants. Such were the extravagant tastes of the landed gentry in those long-ago days, when ''rich as an Argentine'' was a common saying in Europe.
Getting There
Austral airline and Aerolineas Argentinas both have frequent one-hour flights between Buenos Aires and Cordoba. The round-trip fare is $166.
Where to Stay
Rates for the following hotels, all in downtown Cordoba, are for two people in a room with bath and include breakfast. If calling Cordoba from the United States, dial 011-54-51 first.
Crillon (85 Rivadavia; telephone 46093), best known and most traditional of the older hotels; $25 a night.
Gran Hotel Dora (70 Entre Rios; 42031), elegant in a convenient location in the old colonial center; $25.
Mediterraneo (10 Marcelo T. Alvear; 226025), very comfortable alongside the Canada (the tree-lined channel that is like a quiet, elongated park); $23.
La Canada (580 Marcelo T. de Alvear; 31227), newest hotel in town; $24.
Nogaro Cordoba (137 San Jeronimo; 224001), convenient for conventions and meetings; $23.

In Villa Carlos Paz, there is Portal del Lago (corner of Alvarez and Cabrera Streets; from the United States 011-54-541-24931), on the shore of Lake Carlos Paz; $42.
Where to Eat
Even in Cordoba's most expensive restaurants, dinner for two, including wine, is unlikely to cost more than $25.
Crillon (85 Rivadavia; telephone, dialed locally, 46093). Elegant European-style dining, French influenced, with a variety of meat and fish dishes.
Guccio (81 Avenida Hipolito Yrigoyen; 225135) and Longchamps (110 Avenida Hipolito Yrigoyen; 43283) have menus similar to Crillon's.
La Mamma (270 Figueroa Alcorta; 228330) is Cordoba's premier Italian restaurant, a short cab ride or a long walk (about nine blocks, but the blocks are short) north and west of Plaza San Martin.
El Rancho Grande (4142 Avenida Rafael Nunez; 811529) specializes in chivito asado (roast kid) and other grilled meat dishes.
Rancho Don Polidoro (513 Calle Gauss 513, Barrio Villa General Belgrano; 817382) also features the traditional Argentine mixed grill.
Good home-style Italian meals at $5 or $6 for one, including wine, are available at Romagnolo on Boulevard Presidente Peron (still known by most residents by its former name, Boulevard Guzman), between San Jeronimo and Entre Rios.
Besides the many well-turned out galleries in the old section around the plaza, there is a scruffier crafts fair every Saturday from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. and Sunday from 5 to 9 P.M. at the Paseo de las Artes, corner of Achaval Rodriguez and La Canada, a short taxi ride (about seven blocks) south of the plaza. Leather and wood crafts are among the specialties.
A bustling produce and meat market, the Mercado Sur, is three blocks south of the plaza, on Boulevard Arturo Illia between Buenos Aires and Ituzaingo, and the Mercado Norte is six blocks north, on Oncativo between San Martin and Rivadavia.
Before you go: The Argentina National Tourist Office (12 West 56th Street, New York, N.Y. 10019; 212-603-0443) or the Argentina Tourist Information Office (330 West 58th Street, Sixth Floor, New York, N.Y. 10019; 212-765-8833 or 800-274-3684) can supply maps and brochures on both the city and province of Cordoba.
The Cordoba Trade Center (230 Fifth Avenue, Room 701, New York, N.Y. 10001; 212-779-2975) has both tourist and commercial information on the city and province and can help with plane and hotel reservations.
Once you get there: The Tourism Secretariat (Secretaria de Turismo) of the Province of Cordoba offers maps of the city and the mountainous tourist zone. The central office is at 25 Tucuman, Cordoba, Argentina; 33248-44027. The Secretariat also has offices at the airport and at the bus terminal on the eastern edge of town. Maps are also avialable at most hotels. - G. F.

We are pleased to offer mediation as an option for students involved in certain types of conflict. Our talented graduate students in the Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies Program are available to mediate conflict in two scenarios.
First, mediation may be prescribed as a resolution to a violation of the Champlain College Code of Conduct. This would be a referral from the Office of Student Conduct and participants would be required to complete the mediation process. If an agreement is not reached in mediation, the conduct officer will determine the resolution. In these cases all documents related to the mediation will be part of the student conduct record.
Second, graduate students in this program are also available to mediate conflict that may arise prior to any violation of the Code of Conduct. In these cases students may request mediation as a way to resolve an issue with another student when there is no violation of policy. In these cases students may request mediation through firstname.lastname@example.com. These requests will be forwarded to the Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies Masters Degree Program.
Questions about either type of mediation may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: POSTWAR REBUILDING; Halliburton Contracts in Iraq: The Struggle to Manage Costs
By JEFF GERTH and DON VAN NATTA Jr.; Jeff Gerth reported from Washington for this article and Don Van Natta Jr. from London.
Published: December 29, 2003
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28— The Qarmat Ali water treatment plant in southern Iraq is crucial to keeping the oil flowing from the region's petroleum-rich fields. So when American engineers found the antiquated plant barely operating earlier this year, there was no question that repairing it was important to the rebuilding of Iraq. Setting the price for the repairs was another matter.
In July, the Halliburton Company estimated that the overhaul would cost $75.7 million, according to confidential documents that the company submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers. But in early September, the Bush administration asked Congress for $125 million to do the job -- a 40 percent price increase in just six weeks.
The initial price was based on ''drive-by estimating,'' said Richard V. Dowling, a spokesman for the corps, which oversees the contract. The second was a result of a more complete assessment. ''The best I can lamely fall back on is to say that estimates change,'' said Mr. Dowling, who is based in Baghdad. ''This is not business as usual.''
The rebuilding of Iraq's oil industry has been characterized in the months since by increasing costs and scant public explanation. An examination of what has grown into a multibillion-dollar contract to restore Iraq's oil infrastructure shows no evidence of profiteering by Halliburton, the Houston-based oil services company, but it does demonstrate a struggle between price controls and the uncertainties of war, with price controls frequently losing.
The Pentagon's contract with a Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, conceived in secrecy before the war and signed in March, was meant as a stopgap deal to last no more than a few months. But it has been in effect since then and has grown to more than $2 billion.
The scope of the contract includes myriad tasks from importing fuels to repairing pipelines, and the costs have increased through task orders and subcontracts, some of which are carried out with limited documentation or disclosure.
The reconstruction of Iraq has taken on ''a Wild West atmosphere,'' said Gordon Adams, a military procurement expert at George Washington University. ''Wartime creates an urgent need, and under an urgent need, contractors will deliver and take a price. There's a premium for getting it done fast.''
Earlier this month, Pentagon auditors questioned the $2.64 per gallon that Halliburton was charging to truck fuel from Kuwait to Iraq, and sought to recover $61 million. In response, company officials said they had actually saved the government money and had put the fuel supply subcontract up for competitive bidding. But there was little paperwork to show that any bidding had taken place, according to government officials familiar with the audit.
''Most of it was done on an emergency basis, very quickly, over the phone, and Halliburton has struggled to prove this was competitively bid,'' said one government official.
Wendy Hall, a spokeswoman for Halliburton, said bids were solicited by telephone in May because the corps needed fuel imported into Iraq within 24 hours. But she said a more formal bidding process was done several days later, and that KBR has provided Pentagon auditors with documentation on the bids.
''KBR followed government-approved procedures in responding to this significant, challenging and dangerous mission,'' she said.
Minimal Halliburton Profits
The estimated price of another KBR project, the replacement of damaged pipelines over the Tigris River, also grew significantly over the course of a few weeks. In July, KBR estimated that the cost would be $29.8 million for the job, included in a list of 220 tasks to be completed in Iraq. But by fall, the cost had more than doubled, to $70 million.
Both Mr. Dowling, the spokesman for the corps, and Ms. Hall said the price grew because the scope of the project and the method of repair had changed. Ms. Hall said the company had tried to get the lowest price from its subcontractors. In addition, Halliburton and government officials note that the violence in Iraq increases the cost of security and adds to the cost of all reconstruction contracts.
So far this year, Halliburton's profits from Iraq have been minimal. The company's latest report to the Securities and Exchange Commission shows $1.3 billion in revenues from work in Iraq and $46 million in pretax profits for the first nine months of 2003. But its profit may grow once the Pentagon completes a formal evaluation of the work. If the government is satisfied, Halliburton is entitled to a performance fee of up to 5 percent of the contract's entire value, which could mean additional payments of $100 million or more.
The nonpublic way in which KBR was selected for the job in Iraq remains a political flashpoint, especially among Democratic presidential contenders, in part because Vice President Dick Cheney served as Halliburton's chief executive officer from 1995 to 2000.
The contract to fix Iraq's oil industry was granted to KBR by a secret Bush administration task force formed in September 2002 to plan for Iraq's oil industry in the event of war. The task force, led by an aide to Douglas J. Feith, the under secretary of defense for policy, quickly concluded that the government alone could not meet the oil needs, members of the group said. ''There were only a handful of companies, and KBR was always one of those mentioned,'' said one Pentagon official.

Facts: the Eiffel Tower was the world tallest building from 1889 until 1930. It is the world's most visited paid monument.
The Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and France. The Eiffel Tower is a puddle iron lattice monument.
The Eiffel Tower is now 324 meters tall (312 meters excluding the antenna). Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument (169 meters) as the tallest monument in the world. The Chrysler Building in New York City (319 meters) took the record in 1930. The first floor of the Eiffel Tower is 57 meters and 360 steps from the ground. The second floor is 115 meters and 1060 steps from the ground.
With 6.91 million visitors in 2015, the Eiffel Tower is also the most visited paid monument in the world.
Completed in 1889 for Paris world exhibition to celebrate the progress of technology, the Eiffel Tower was designed and built in just two years by 132 workers and 50 engineers. The Tower was much criticized by Parisians when it was built.
The Eiffel Tower was planned to be demolished in 1909. It was saved at the very last moment as it could be turned into a telecommunication tower. With 7 millon visitors yearly, this iconic Paris monument now fully pays for itself.

Glendale-River Hills to look at healthier lunch options
Prices to increase 10 cents in 2011-12
Glendale - The renewal of a school lunch vendor's contract sparked several policy discussions when the Glendale-River Hills School Board took the issue up last week.
Administrators and the board expressed overall satisfaction with Taher, the vendor servicing schools within the North Shore Food Service Consortium that also includes K-8 feeder districts Fox Point-Bayside and Maple Dale-Indian Hill.
School Board member Andrew Franklin praised Taher staff for their professionalism and responsiveness toward district staff members and students.
But board member Jean Pereles-Strouse said the contract renewal would be a good time to examine current food offerings. She questioned whether chocolate and strawberry milk should be offered to students.
"I know we've been greening things up," Pereles-Strouse said, referring to an increase in produce in lunch offerings. "But childhood obesity is an issue that's out there."
Concerns also were raised about vending machines, which are stocked by Taher. Several board members suggested placing healthier options in machines in lieu of traditional snack items.
In addition to taking measures to curtail childhood obesity, Pereles-Strouse said she believed ongoing efforts to provide healthy options were important because a student's overall health impacts their achievement, behavior and concentration.
"It affects our students in the classroom," she said.
District Administrator Larry Smalley said he would forward board members' concerns to Taher officials during discussions this summer.
In the 2011-12 school year, lunch prices are set to increase 10 cents, from $2 to $2.10 per meal for elementary students, from $2.05 to $2.15 per meal for middle school students and from $2.80 to $2.90 for adults.
Taher officials requested the price increase, citing increases in payroll and food costs as well as ongoing maintenance and replacement of food service equipment.

From Our Editors
Before she ran Dancing Westchester, Desirée Smith owned another studio in her home of South Africa. There, she was a professional ballroom champion in her province. She practiced her footwork and tutored others for more than 10 years before making the move to America, where her passion for movement hardly waned. She now teaches students of all ages and ambitions—be they competitive or strictly casual—how to cut across the floor with poise.
Desirée is versed in multiple styles, including international ballroom and Latin American dance, from Argentine tango to salsa. During private lessons, she schools singles and couples on their form with personalized notes. These focused sessions allow her to hone in on areas of improvement, whether it's timing, twirls, or difficulty differentiating your partner from your shadow. For spouses-to-be and even entire wedding parties, the Dancing Westchester team can choreograph crowd-pleasing routines for receptions. Alternatively, group lessons take a more social approach, as pupils are encouraged to switch partners often to rehearse their leading and following skills, and to socialize with their fellow classmates.

Please be considerate to other members. Location will only be sent to members that provide information about what they will be bringing.
There will be no chairs so we will be sitting on the grass. Bring proper attire, (forecast says 87!) and maybe a sheet! We will split off into groups of 25 and spread out.
You will have option to meet us at a specific corner between 3:50 and 4:10 (20 minutes) or be late and try to follow a map we will send of our location. If your not familiar with Central Park, please be on time, and meet us at corner, otherwise it will be difficult to find us!
1. When you RSVP, please write what you SPEAK and what you would like to LEARN in the comments section. This way members know if their language will be available!
2. Please CHECK-IN with us!
3. We are asking all members to spend at least 1/4 of their time HELPING out in their native language! That way we all help each other, you meet people interested in your culture and you make more friends!

5. FEE of $1 will be charged to cover the group costs.

Lotto 6/49 ship finally comes in for Surrey's Harry Black
A Surrey man, who has been playing the same numbers for the past 35 years, finally saw his ship come in in the April 13 6/49 draw.
The Lower Mainland player won half of a record-breaking B.C. Lottery Corporation grand prize with not just one, but two winning tickets.
The BCLC said that each of the four winning tickets in its $63.4-million Lotto 6/49 draw in April were worth close to $15.8 million.
Harry Black, 66, of Surrey, had two of those tickets.
Black was presented with two cheques totaling more than $31.7 million at the B.C. Lottery headquarters in Vancouver on Tuesday afternoon for having two tickets with the winning set of numbers: 02, 10, 17, 19, 44, and 47.
Black said he's been playing the same winning numbers for about 35 years, since the lottery started.
The former cement mason and part-time film industry worker says he won't quit his job, but he does plan to do a bit of traveling, including a visit to Scotland.
Black then plans to buy some land and build his dream house. Black says he'll also invest his winnings and share a significant portion with his friends and family members.
The winning Lotto 6/49 ticket was purchased April 12 at the Chevron gas station on Scott Road and 104 Ave. in Surrey. Black, who also enjoys playing Lotto Max and BC/49, says before today's big news he'd never won more than $10 at a time.
Vancouver resident Chad Seguin, 41 had the other ticket from the Lower Mainland.
The remaining ticket was sold in Alberta.

I am very happy with my program. I would certainly do it over again and I don't have any concerns about finding a job when I graduate.
It is a very competitive program and tough to get into. If you don't have a competitive GPA it will be very challenging to get in.
I'm pretty sure this question was asked earlier... I like my program, but it's underfunded.

The bluegill bite is about the only thing that's happening. Down south at Lake George, they're still carrying roe and bedding. The shellcracker bite is good as well.
But the fish are simply sluggish most everywhere. The bass bite stinks in Lake George. Lochloosa is better, with a pretty good bass bite at dawn and dusk for those flipping plastic frogs into the shoreline cover — white ones are the local favorite.

Guard Against Data Loss with Mondo Rescue
Every computer user has lost data at some point. Unfortunately, the experience rarely teaches the user to backup his or her data regularly. Mondo Rescue creates one or more bootable Rescue CDs based on your filesystem. In the event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore your entire system. Mondo supports Lin/Win dual-boot systems, RAID, ReiserFS, ext2, ext3, XFS, JFS and VFAT.
I wrote Mondo because no other program did what I wanted, nor was any program as easy to use. I back up, wipe, format and restore my own system at least three times a week using Mondo's latest release. Mondo is the only backup regime that I use.
Mondo is a thriving open-source project; it can restore your OS and data from bare metal, and data loss has not been reported since May 2000. The project is coming along nicely.
In the beginning, Mondo was created to back up Windows-only systems and provide disaster recovery facilities for Windows users. While running a small computer store near Nashville, Tennessee, I realized that many of the people that bought computers from us were bringing them back to have the disks reformatted and the applications re-installed. Was this because they did not know how to maintain their own PCs? Was our hardware to blame? Either way, we needed a way to restore a fresh copy of Windows onto a typical PC, unattended, in 10-15 minutes. We were using Norton Ghost at the time, but Ghost didn't let us restore selectively; it was all or nothing. Also, Ghost tended to crash when copying Linux partitions.
Our idea was to run Linux on a CD but have Windows archived in big tarballs on said CD. Well, to cut a long and tortuous story short, it worked. I even managed to write code that would create a Windows-bootable VFAT partition.
In March 2001, an employee of Hewlett-Packard (Grenoble) became interested in the project. Bruno Cornec, a skilled programmer in the server division, began to look at the code. He started to play with it and improved it in numerous ways. Between September 2000 (when the project was shut down) and March 2001, two new versions of Mondo were released. Both were made possible almost entirely by Bruno Cornec, Maciej Kulasa and other contributors.
In June 2001, I built a new computer and got to work. By July 4, I had fixed all the major bugs, and Mondo v1.00 was released (no jokes about Independence Day, please).
Mondo is just a bit shell script that wraps around two other tools: Mindi and afio.
Mindi, aka Mindi-Linux, is a mini-distribution that generates boot disks from your kernel, modules, tools and libraries. It is more likely than a generic boot disk to be binary-compatible with your existing software because its tools are copied straight from your hard disk. It also can generate an El Torito 2.88MB boot disk image. Mondo uses Mindi to create a 2.88MB boot "disk" and associated data "disks", which are incorporated in each Mondo CD. Whichever modules were loaded at backup time are reloaded at boot time. So, in theory you will boot into almost the same environment you were in when you backed up.
Mondo-Archive works something like this:
It squeezes your files into several tarballs, each 5-10MB in size.
It puts those tarballs in a directory.
It puts an El Torito boot floppy image and associated data files in that directory.
It points mkisofs at that directory and pipes its output to cdrecord, which causes a CD to be burned that contains a copy of that directory and its contents.
It repeats the above steps for N CDs, N being the number of CDs it takes to accommodate all your files.
Mindi v0.38 comes with a 2.4.7 fail-safe kernel, in case your kernel does not support all the features required by a boot disk. This is not Mondo being picky; this is Linux being awkward. Some kernels are just not suitable for boot disks. Novice users should stick with their default kernel and make Mindi use its own kernel by saying no when asked if they want to make a boot disk with their own kernel.
Advanced users should make sure that their kernel includes the following, built-in: CD-ROM support, IDE CD support, IDE support, initrd and RAM disk support, floppy disk drive support, stable loopfs support (which means it really needs to be 2.2.17 or later, or 2.4.5-ac10 or later) and ISO9660 support.
In case your kernel does not support these features, you should probably use Mindi's own kernel until you are confident enough to build your own kernel. If you find that Mindi's kernel does not support something you need (e.g., XFS) then please let me know. I will probably add the feature to the next release of Mindi.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

"Gypsy is nothing if not Broadway's own brassy, unlikely answer to 'King Lear" (Theatre critic Frank Rich)
The musical Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, and focuses on her mother, Rose, whose name has become synonymous with "the ultimate show business mother." It features several hit songs from the pen of Jule Style and Stephen Sondheim including 'Some People' and 'Everything's coming up Roses". Aedín checks out three leading ladies on three different recordings of this great musical, Ethel Merman, Patti LuPone and Imelda Staunton
Escape to the Movies with Aedín Gormley. Classics from stage and screen for your Saturday afternoon.

The Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Coal Hopper Figure 8 Set is a 22-piece train set in the shape of a figure eight. The set comes with Thomas and a cargo car that hold together with an integrated magnet. But part of the fun comes from loading up the car with coal. The coal piece fits into the hopper, and when the cargo car is positioned under it, a press on the top releases it into the car.
The Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Coal Hopper Figure 8 Set is engaging by itself, or a great starter set or addition to a Thomas Wooden Railway set. The triangular shape of the coal piece is easy for small hands to grasp and slide into the hopper, and the action is one that kids will enjoy repeating and will inspire open-ended, narrative-based play with a favorite character. The bridge is great for over/under play that preschoolers will enjoy.
The Thomas & Friends Coal Hopper Figure 8 Set is for Thomas fans ages 3 and up.
The track goes together easily, though an adult may need to help the youngest kids, and it stays together well. For best results, use on a flat, hard surface.

Art attacks the suburbs, making it cooler
One needs to look no further than the Norling Photos at the Minnesota Historical Society or the Worlds Away exhibit at the Walker to see that the suburbs can serve as a prolific creative muse. Those that venture out to the fair town of Roseville this Saturday night will be treated to a hip evening of culture when Grumpy's (2801 Snelling Ave. N.) hosts "Art Attack on the Suburbs."
A lot will be happening at this shindig, including a mural unveiling of two massive 18-foot tall stencil murals by John Grider, whose previous work includes a wide variety of rock show posters, as well as the Nomad World Pub mural pictured above. The subject of these dual pieces are described as the beer history of St. Paul and Minneapolis (Grain Belt will most likely be making an appearance in the Minneapolis mural). You can check out John Grider's work here. Also on hand will be the super-popular artist, and Ox-Op Gallery regular, Shag. His playful and boldly-colored designs will be on display and on sale (in limited quantities). Check out his work here. Rounding out the night will be DJ host Lori Barbero of Babes in Toyland, and a screening of the HAZE-XXL and Dalek collaboration, Purge of Dissidents. Click here for more info on Purge. The event is free, and happens between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.

Korean society has undergone a rapid demographic transition that has challenged traditional patterns of family exchanges. The structure and directions of support flows have become more complex as multiple generations coexist. This article examines the complexity of contemporary Korean intergenerational relationships. The study analyzed two different samples to address anticipated differences in perceptions of and attitudes toward relationships between adult children and elderly parents. The researchers used maximum likelihood latent structure analysis to discover the latent patterns of the association among three main subdimensions of intergenerational relationships: geographic proximity, exchange of support, and cultural norms of family support. Results show that the perspectives on intergenerational relationships differ significantly between middle-aged children and elderly parents. Intergenerational relationships among middle-aged adults comprise five distinct patterns: strong reciprocal, strong traditional, intermediate normative, intermediate circumstantial, and weak. The interpretation of intergenerational relationships from the elders' perspectives is more straightforward, with only three patterns: traditional, reciprocal, and weak. Along with significant socioeconomic differences in the prevalent patterns of intergenerational relationships, these results emphasize the complex interplay of contingency and path dependency in diversifying the value and support exchanges of intergenerational relationships.

DsbC protein family
|Disulfide bond isomerase protein N-terminus
x-ray structure of dsbc from haemophilus influenzae
DsbC (Disulfide bond C) is a prokaryotic disulfide bond isomerase. The formation of native disulfide bonds play an important role in the proper folding of proteins and stabilize tertiary structures of the protein.[1][2][3] DsbC is one of 6 proteins in the Dsb family in prokaryotes. The other proteins are DsbA, DsbB, DsbD, DsbE and DsbG.[4] These enzymes work in tandem with each other to form disulfide bonds during the expression of proteins. DsbC and DsbG act as proofreaders of the disulfide bonds that are formed. They break non-native disulfide bonds that were formed and act as chaperones for the formation of native disulfide bonds.[5][6] The isomerization of disulfide bonds occurs in the periplasm.
Enzyme Mechanism[edit]
DsbA, DsbC and DsbG have a common Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Cys (Cys-Cysteine) motif in their active site, where Xxx can be any any amino acid.[7] In the periplasm, DsbA oxidizes thiols in cysteines to form disulfide bonds in proteins. DsbA receives it's oxidizing potential from the cytosol through DsbB.[6] However, the probability of forming a non-native disulfide bond increases with the number of cysteines in the protein sequence. This leads to improperly folded proteins.
DsbC and DsbG facilitate the proper folding of the protein by breaking non-native disulfide bonds. In addition to this, DsbC also shows chaperone activity.[1][3] The reduced cysteine on DsbC performs a nucleophilic attack on the target non-native disulfide bond, to form an unstable disulfide bond between DsbC and the protein. Another thiolate group in the protein then attacks this unstable bond. The final result would be the formation of a native disulfide bond and the reformation of the thiolate group in DsbC.[4][7][8] DsbG also acts with a similar mechanism, but has a higher selectivity when compared with DsbC.[9]
Both DsbC and DsbG receive their reducing power, through DsbD, from the cytosol.[6][10] DsbC and DsbG have be maintained in their reduced forms to ensure proper folding of proteins, with the formation of multiple disulfide bonds.[11]
Enzyme Structure[edit]
DsbC is a modular dimer, with two 23.3 kDa subunits. There are four cysteines in each monomer, with two present in the active site.
The common motif is Cys98-Gly-Tyr-Cys101.[1][3][12] The fact that Cys 98 is partially solvent exposed supports the mechanism provided above.[12] DsbG has a sequence homology of 24% identity with DsbC, thus suggesting a similar structure with that of DsbC.[12]
The structure of DsbC from E. coli as reported by McCarthy et al.[12] shows the cysteines in the oxidized state. In wild-type cells, both cysteines are in the reduced state.
Disease Relevance[edit]
Synthesis of proteins with multiple disulfide bonds is challenging due to formation of non-native disulfide bonds. This usually leads to insoluble, inactive proteins. Co-expressing DsbA and DsbC has shown to help express soluble proteins with even more than five disulfide bonds. Two examples of proteins with medical applications that were expressed using this approach are the expression of reteplase in E.Coli[4] and the functional expression of single chain Fv antibodies in E. Coli [1] Reteplase is used in the treatment of ischemic stroke and contains 9 disulfide bonds. Prior to co-expressing the protein with DsbA and DsbC, the soluble expression in vivo was very low due to improper disulfide bond formation. Protein obtained from this co-expression system was also reported to have 20 times the thrombolytic activity than previously reported.
