Socio-Legal Studies
Socio-Legal Studies is the study of legal ideas, practices and institutions in their social and historical contexts. You will examine the institutions that make and enforce laws – for example, parliament, the courts, the police - and you will learn about a broad range of legal practices and their impact. These include arrest and imprisonment, the use of CCTV surveillance, regulating business, enforcing human rights, and prosecuting international war crimes. Two central elements of the major are criminology - examining the logic of crime and punishment, medico-legal and forensic practices - and human rights. Socio-legal studies enables students to understand the impact of the legal system in different communities, so you will study how law operates across different countries and regions, as well as how law changes over time.
In the junior units you will be introduced to the key ideas and concepts that socio-legal scholars have developed to help understand the world. You will also become familiar with the methods and techniques that will enable you to undertake your own research. The senior units will consolidate your grasp of theory and methods, and enable you to focus on particular topics in socio-legal studies, such as the logic of crime and punishment, medico-legal and forensic practices, the philosophy of law, and the changing international regime of human rights.
You will engage with these aspects of socio-legal studies in lectures and tutorials, but also in the real world. You will learn to write and think in socio-legal terms using essays, reports, oral group work, posters, debates and new social media.
Study plan
A major in Socio-Legal Studies requires at least 36 senior credit points from the unit of study table, including 18 credit points of core 2000-level units of study and 6 credit points of core 3000-level units of study.
Junior units of study (1000 level)
You complete two junior units of study: SLSS1001 Introduction to Socio-Legal Studies and SLSS1003 Law in Contemporary Society. In these units you will learn about:
- Basic methods in Socio-Legal Studies
- The structure of the Australian legal system and its history
- Legal reasoning as a distinctive form of knowledge
- Crime, policing and punishment
- Human rights
- Law and family life
- Cultural criminology
- White-collar crime
- The socio-legal analysis of terrorism
- Contemporary socio-legal theory
Senior units of study (2000 and 3000 level)
You complete 18 credit points from core senior intermediate (2000-level) units of study;
- SCLG2601 Sociological Theory
- SCLG2615 Law and Social Theory
- SCLG2602 Social Inquiry: Qualitative Methods or SCLG2632 Quantitative Methods
These core senior-intermediate (2000 level) units extend on the introductory material in the two junior units. They focus on the twin principles of socio-legal studies – an understanding of broader sociological theories and empirical methods.
You also complete 6 credit points from core senior advanced (3000-level) units of study: SLSS3601 Doing Socio-Legal Research.
The remaining credit points for your major can be taken from senior units of study listed under electives in the unit of study tables. These cover areas such as crime and criminology, Human Rights, Philosophy of Law and Media Studies. These units enable you to focus on specific topics and learn about the particular concepts, theories and methods associated with these sub-fields of socio-legal studies. There are three possible pathways: Criminology, Human Rights, and Law and Society.

Soften, Watercolor on Paper and Masonite by Rachel Teannalach
- Overview
- Contemplating this sublime series of paintings, which are inspired by the Marin County landscape, one notices the changing light – from twilight and fog to bright sun and soft shadows. Rachel Teannalach used a satisfying blend of a restrained palette and gentle abstraction to capture the feeling that a place evokes rather than render a photorealistic image. The horizon, including sky and perhaps hills, is all the artist paints, and she has created an unforgettable world out of them.
- 5" square, 1" deep
- Watercolor on paper mounted on masonite.
- Get to know Rachel Teannalach.
- Dimensions & Care
- Backed with a sawtooth for wall mounting.
- Do not hang in direct sunlight as artwork will fade in sunlight over time.
- Wipe clean with dry cloth.
- Do not use water or any other liquid to clean.

Budget Accommodation Africa Morocco Marrakech
Marrakech (Marrakesh in English) is a popular travel destination in Morocco. Famous for ochre stucco buildings, the city is surrounded by the Atlas mountains, making for a spectacular setting. Capital of the south and known as the "red city", the atmosphere is decidedly more African than that of Fez, Rabat and Meknes, other Imperial cities.

Fewer Sea Turtles Nest in Cool Spring Weather
May 10, 2013 | WMFE - Fewer sea turtles are nesting this spring at Canaveral National Seashore.
The park has about a dozen nests. This time last year the park had almost 200. John Stiner of Canaveral National Seashore thinks it's because of the cooler weather.
"It kind of reduces their activity, and they just don't tend to come in to lay their eggs when the water's cooler."
He says not to worry, though. Sea turtles don't nest every year, and in general sea turtle populations are up. Last year the park had a total of 6,000 – the most ever.
Stiner believes more sea turtles will nest as the weather warms up. Nesting season continues until September.

update: 1:44pm it now says it's available! yay!
Soo a few minutes ago is said 21...Now it says 29 minutes..Apples servers obviously took a blow to the balls...
Does the update work if you are running 5.0 GM Release? I get "5.0 is the latest software"
its not working for me yet. guess it takes a sec
2 hours remaining! Ech~
went from 6 minutes a half hour ago to now 44 minutes and rising.
Updating now. Unfortunately for me my connection has decided to slow down. 53 minutes remaining.
Isn't this supposed to be an OTA?
OTA once you have iOS 5
OTA will be available for future releases after you've installed iOS5.
Everyone is competing for Apple's bandwidth, lol. Mine initially said 4 minutes remaining, now it's at 11 minutes. I haven't even broken 500MB yet, smh.
Don't complain, mine's going slow too. I'm only at 96.7 MB
Making it happen over an ATT free hotspot at a greyhound station in Chicago! started off saying 4 hours, now its saying 82mins! and yes I was jailbroken on 4.3 and got the message to upgrade to 4.3.5 but when i clicked it it said 5.0 instead!
argh! I have rented movies that I just discovered I need to transfer to iTunes before I update.
Apple's servers must be getting crushed. My download time keeps increasing minute by minute started at 16 min now up to 33
Starting download!

No no no...

6 minutes...
Classic download eta on release day!
yup, downloaded to the Mac, not its installing on the 3GS....still can't wait for my new iPhone 4s to come though!
updating right now, server seems slow - it said 66 minues to download then 55 so its churning . . .
its going so slow
Mine showed as 4.3.5 then finally switched...downloading now...time keeps increasing tho so server's gettin hit!
My time went from 9 minutes to 22 :(
96 hours remaining.....
Uber slow process! but downloading...
Just started the download. Jailbroken at 4.3.2, said 4.3.5 was available for update. But when I hit it, the features screen showed iOS 5 features, so I agreed to download. Says 10 minutes, downloading actually pretty quick for me, about 1.1mb down per sec over Comcast.
The the HELL do they insist in releasing this to the world at the same time! why not stagger the release to each region? we all get it at 9am on the 12th local time then it's sorted! and I'm not fighting the rest of the world for server resources! c'mon apple!!! this is basic!
Download time 8 real-time minutes.
Installation 10 minutes. ?_?
My iPhone 4 is now in Backup mode. Woohoo!!! :-)
What did we expect? 200 million plus users probably all trying at the same time. I'm surprised I'm even staying connected at all and still downloading. Wish they would release by time zones.
updating, but over 2 hours left on the download!!!! you'd think i was on dial up....
20 minutes remaining....
683.1 out of 781.9 remaining. Then times out. Restarting now

Just an update for those following the comments. I finished my download (it actually took 12 minutes, unbelievable) and am now in the process of updating my phone.
I have mine, it is fantastic. Sorry you all are waiting, :(
Done! All downloaded, installed and ready to use "The most advances OS ever."
I agree with comments below..30 minutes to go!
4 minutes remaining...
Downloading now in Barbados around an hr to go, can't wait!
390 mb down! I'm halfway there, it's all downhill now!! 43 min to go, when will the hurting stop?
I've got all my old awesome sms tones converted to MP4R. let's go!!
download bar is about 60% done and the time has climbed from 3 mins to 11 mins.
I used the developer beta, but when I try to upgrade in iTunes it says i have the latest version. Any tips?
The last GM version of the Beta IS the exact same file version as the one being released right now. In other words if you're like me and had the GM IPSW on your iPhone you won't need to update that IS the newest version ;D
Well where is the Cards App? i have the GM, i just wanna be sure that I'm not missing anything
1 hour ? XD oh well i'll wait
I only see one other person here reporting the same contact server failure... anyone else having that problem?? I doubt it's a network/firewall problem on my end.
Restoring iPhone Software
Been DL for 15 minutes now and it only DL 121MB. My 1.37GB Porn I just DL took 8 minutes. Go figure.
Because porn knows how to JAM it in there.
Well just restoring apps and then its time to explore....
Well no because now the servers are being battered and I've had two timeouts and probably won't get it today, hoever if they released it to the UK at 10am local time I'd had installed without an issue.
Its so nice its giving me hope - I've had 9 minutes remaining for about 20 minutes now . . .
downloaded and installed...restore in progress. Said could not activate verzion iphone but maybe after restore is will be up and running.
ROFL iFone!!!!!!
OMG WTF??!?!? WAS HALF WAY DONE THEN AN UNKNOWN ERROR HAPPENED!?!?!? GAHH....starting over >.>
x 2 for me here... "network failure" or some bull like that.... still attempting..
big thumps done on track messages reiceve and deliever
Mine has said "Processing File" for the past 10 minutes. Happening to anyone else?
Yes you will see that green bar barely move for a long time and then it will speed up. I think it took me 20 minutes or so for that part.
At 448MB and then ... Reset! #$&@!!, it starts again from the beginning!
bastard thing got to 376MB and then timed out, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This is crazy how long it's taking I've been downloading for almost an hour and I'm just hitting 700MB
Started downloading as soon as it was available.....still got 5 hours to go, and then I have to do my iPad...it's like watching paint dry lol!
I feel your pain, I'm 2 hours in with 2 hours to go. Then comes the iPad and other phones :-/
restoring from back-up... 2 min remaining
anyone else get a 3194 error?
Do you use TinyUmbrella? If so, untick the option that says "Set hosts to Cydia"
yep- Twice!!!!!!!!!!
You can get all of the firmware download links here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ (it just generates the links from Apple's servers)
After A few days delay finally Apple released ios5 for public. It has good new features. you can download it directly for the link given below:
ok so after an hr i got 720.00 out of 781.9 and it timed out what the fuck
Come ooooon jailbreak.
It got ready to update and it said my iphone 4 did you hav the right build WTF!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone actually been able to finish the download??? Im on my 3rd attempt after getting dumped at around 600mb the previous two tries!!!!!
We need mirrors for this
Installed and running. Excited to finally play around with it. :)
Share some proof! Too many other users reporting restore problems. What is your specific set-up and upgrade method?
Took 1 hr 8 mins from start to finish. Even setting up the phone.
Been going for 1 hour and 25 minutes and still have 26 minutes left, Im at 580 out of 774.4
Can anyone say if the new system works OK on the 3GS? I'm a bit nervous to try it just yet...
It's not working ok on 4's; I'm waiting!!
iPhone could not be restored. An internal error occurred! What is up with this?????
Same for me! wtf!!???
oh my goodness, I hope you guys get it straitened out
I've never had probs ever! I've even hard rebooted the iphone and rebooted my pc. How do I delete the downloaded copy of ios5 to re-download it? it just prompts me to update and I want to download it again incase it was corrupted.
it's finally going through...bloody jokers! this is poor! they NEED to stagger the releases next time so it's not hammered by the whole world at the same time! Grrrrr!!!!!!
Me too...now I have no phone because mine was jailbroken and won't restart
Lesson for all: Don't update jailbroken devices until you read multiple sources saying a successful method has been found. Don't expect one for a week or more: these are done via trial and error and Apple deliberately has been making it increasingly difficult to do....
Thanks everyone for your comments . . . have been looking for the update all day! I'm at 40 minutes remaining . . . it keeps going up. Anyway, I was glad to have found you guys!
Getting error message 3200. Ugh!! Anyone else getting this??
I think it could be because you didn't update Lion software first. Idk, I'm trying to figure this out now.
Negative, I have lion and and I updated everything last night. I'm getting this error as well.
Im getting it too. Dont know what to do.
getting a unknown eroor 3200... what do I do?
I restarted my laptop and did not get 3200 again.
I restarted my PC and it happened again... I am trying another PC at the moment... We'll see.
tried retstarting twice and still gets 3200 error.
Already restarted. Someone knows what's that error? Trying out on my iPad to see if that works without that error
Keep trying. Mine worked on the 4th or 5th try
I had the same issue, I left my iphone connected, and held down the power & home button until it did the reset and that did the trick. Hope it helps!
i tried updating to IOS5 this morning and error 3200 is gone and everything went smooth without a problem with Ipad and Iphone4
Mines chilling at 2 hours -.- Why me? :(
Mine constantly kept timing out...I finally just hit resume, not pause on the DL screen...seemed to start from where I was at. I also found better luck once I wasn't doing a bunch of other tasks on the web at the same time. Not sure if that was just dumb luck, but thought I'd offer it up.
Mines chilling at 2 hours :( Why me?
Man the device data restore is taking forever!!!!
Unable to get server connection in Eastern Europe. Says I have an update available, but continuous server error...maybe tomorrow...goodnight all
I can't update. It downloads, goes through the Backup then gives an error: "The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3200)."
Funny thing is, the iPad is remains at iOS4.3.5 with everything in place - ie it's not hosed and works just fine as if I didn't try and update.
Anyone else see this? I've tried it twice with the same results each time.
Can't get it to work... Keep getting errors...!
Looks like you have to have the latest Mac OS X first, THEN download iOS 5.
Anyone else having trouble moving from mobileme to icloud? it keeps saying can;t do it at this time to try again later...wtf?!!
At least one user at TUAW is reporting success by installing iOS5 as a "new device," them manually restoring data from the back-up (you did do a back-up before starting??). You'll have to manually reconfigure SMS and a few other things; but that's apparently avoiding the restore issues folks are reporting here....
Having issues getting it on my ipod 4g...my iphone went well keep getting unknown error 3200....:-(
Keep retrying. Other folks are reporting success after 7 or 8 retries....
Downloaded and couldn't install :/
I'm stuck backing up for the past 20 minutes. The progress bar isn't moving at all. If I press stop do I have DL it over again?
It must be doin something, it's taken up 100% of my CPU.
thats the issue i got too. it looks like it may take a couple hours at this rate
I keep getting an error code (3200) when trying to update my iPhone even though my iTunes is up to date... Does anyone know what the problem is?
Software/server hang-up. Since you opted to be on the bleeding edge, you're dealing with TONS of competing traffic. Keep retrying--folks on other blogs are reporting eventual success!
I keep getting an error code (3200) when trying to update my iPhone even though my iTunes is up to date... Does anyone know what the problem is?
I downloaded right at 10 and had no problems! Enjoying my iPhone with iOS 5! iPad is taking a little longer but not bad...
I am not able to download anything. I have tried several times to download the new itunes software first, and no option to save pops up. FML.
can anybody tell me why it says "this device isn't eligible for the requested build"
iPhone 3??
Error 3200, phone stuck in DFU mode and I need it for tomorrow. Not happy Apple!!
Not an Apple issue: the update requires server access and you're competing with....millions?......of simultaneous early adopters. If the device is critical and you haven't yet begun upgrading, WAIT!!!!
Can't really, work starts at 7am for me! Hopefully the servers have calmed down before I need to sleep.
Can't get it on iPod touch 4g an unknow error 3200
Keep getting 3200 error. Tried everything from rebooting, to restarting phone, the whole nine yards. Won't extract software.
it did that to me. make sure you don't have any other usb devices plugged in to your computer.
I keep getting the 3200 error. How do you remove this?
ERROR 3200 --- Make sure you have the newest version of itunes, that there are no updates your computer needs to make, and that you don't have any other USB devices plugged in
make sure you have the newest version of itunes, there are no updates your computer needs to make, and that you have no other USB devices plugged in.
im getting error 3200. tried restarting pc but no luck. anyone have any success?
Yes...others are reporting success after repeated retries. Rebooting etc. has no effect--it is a communication issue and you're competing with tons of folks around the word attempting to do the same thing.... Keep trying!
Like Many people said, it works on the 7th time.
Got the download, now my back up is taking FOREVER. Anybody know why this happens?
still stuck backing up my phone. im getting nowhere quickly
me too update downloaded really quickly but now my back up is taking forever
Stupid error 3200. I'm just going to keep trying until it works.
it says internal error occurred! what the heck
is it just me or is all ios 5 slowing down all iphones
Here's a post from a few minutes ago on Apple's discussion forum....
I had this issue on my 3GS. Here are the steps I took with Apple Engineering's Support:
- I rebooted my Windows 7 machine
- I TEMPORARILY disabled my virus and firewall
- Restarted itunes
- Reconnected the 3GS to the USB cable
- Clicked "Update"
The backup took a lot longer than normal and the whole thing was complete in about 20 mins. I now have iOS 5 and it appears to work great!
finally got downloaded and now it won't restore!!
I'm on my fifth try, if it doesn't work this time i'm going outside to kill a small animal and see if that helps.
iOS 5 combined with iCloud is amazing, and runs smoothly on my 3Gs. Great work Apple.

NPR's Hard Times series features stories of economic hardship and also stories of hope.

As diplomats from around the world gather in Durban, South Africa, for talks about climate change, a big question looms: What will become of the Kyoto climate treaty, which was negotiated with much fanfare in 1997. The treaty was supposed to be a first step toward much more ambitious actions on climate change, but it is now on the brink of fading into irrelevance. That could have major implications for the future of United Nations climate talks.

The sort of offenses that might land a student in the principal's office in other states often send kids in Texas to court with misdemeanor charges. Some schools have started rethinking the way they punish students for bad behavior after watching many of them drop out or land in prison because of tough disciplinary policies.
In a downtown Houston municipal court, Judge David Fraga has presided over thousands of cases involving students "ticketed" by school police. His docket is still relatively small at the moment, with only 45 to 65 cases per night.

It's hard not to look at some of the pictures of people surging into stores as they opened at the stroke of midnight for Black Friday sales and see some kind of crass, mindless mob.
The crowds in Cairo's Tahir Square clamor for democracy and free speech. Crowds in American shopping malls seem to clamor for Blu-rays, Xboxes and Wii consoles.
There were even a few reported instances of violence Friday among unruly shoppers, hell-bent for bargains.
The holiday shopping season started even earlier this year in hopes that consumers would spend more in these economic times. Macy's, Toy R Us, Target, all moved up their opening times - in some cases to Thanksgiving Day. Joining us now to talk about Black Friday is NPR correspondent Yuki Noguchi. You've been reporting the scenes in stores. What can you tell us about the volume of shopping?

Military families across the country celebrated Thanksgiving this week with loved ones who were home after being deployed to Iraq for the last time. Scores of troops are coming home as the war winds down to an end next month, but for one Kentucky National Guardsman, his commitment to family is as strong as his desire to serve. Brenna Angel of member station WUKY in Lexington has his story.

But music had been his first love.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Protesters across Egypt are demanding an end to military rule and they say they no longer want anyone connected to former President Hosni Mubarak's regime in power. But an Egyptian high court recently gave a green light to hundreds of former members of Mr. Mubarak's outlawed ruling party to run for parliament. With elections scheduled to begin next week, critics worry that people connected to that era might have the money and connections to win. NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson...

The Arab League meets today in Cairo to consider imposing sanctions against Syria after Damascus rejected the League's demand that Syria allow an observer mission into the country. As protests there continue and the death toll mounts, neighboring Turkey says it's ready to join the Arab League in levying punitive measures against the government in Damascus. But as NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Istanbul, Turkey's deep reluctance to endorse a military option underscores the complex risks surrounding any foreign intervention in Syria.

I found The Twin, by Gerbrand Bakker, sitting on a coffee table at a writers' colony in 2009. It carried praise from J.M. Coetzee for its "restrained tenderness and laconic humor," which seemed ample justification for using it to avoid my own writing.
I finished it, weeping, a day later, and have been puzzling over its powerful hold on me ever since. I've recommended it again and again, and while I can't say it's entirely undiscovered — it won the 2010 IMPAC Dublin Award — no one I know ever seems to have heard of it.

Note: Wilhelm Furtwangler's last name is typically spelled with an umlaut over the 'a' character. The npr website does not support characters with umlauts over characters. A variation of Furtwangler's name without the umlaut is spelled Furtwaengler.
Wilhelm Furtwaengler's name may be hard for Americans to pronounce, but the reason this great conductor isn't so well-remembered here is that he chose to remain in Germany during WWII, though he was never a member of the Nazi Party, and was exonerated by a postwar tribunal.

As weather forecasters continue to track Tropical Storm Sandy, which is expected to become a hurricane Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for Fairfield County, New Haven County and other parts of Connecticut.
"Tropical Storm Sandy is slowly gathering strength south-southwest of Jamaica. The current forecast track has Sandy passing over Jamaica Wednesday afternoon as a hurricane, then near or over eastern Cuba Wednesday night. Winds have already begun to increase in and around the Florida Peninsula, especially over the coastal waters where Small Craft Advisories and Tropical Storm Watches are in effect," the NWS says.
The NWS says that there is a low potential for a major coastal storm with heavy rainfall, high winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion in southern Connecticut early next week.
"This will ultimately depend on the eventual track and evolution of Tropical Cyclone Sandy as it interacts with a deepening upper level low pressure system approaching the east coast," the NWS says. "The storm may very well just move out to sea and have little if any impact on our weather. Again, forecast confidence is still low at this point since Sandy is still in the Caribbean Sea and any potential impacts are still several days away. Please refer to the National Hurricane Center for the latest forecasts on Sandy, and monitor the latest National Weather Service forecasts throughout the week."
Meterologist Gil Simmons from WTNH's WXEDGE, said in his morning update that "all eyes are on Sandy." He noted that early next week there will be an unusually high tide cycle because of the moon phase and that if the storm does affect the area, that strong winds could begin as early as Sunday night.
Kristina Pydynowski, senior meteorologist for Accuweather.com, says "Depending on the path of Sandy, now brewing in the Caribbean, people along the East Coast during the week of Halloween could be looking a destructive storm or breathing a sigh of relief. Final destination scenarios for Sandy range from bypassing the East Coast to creating a nightmare for tens of millions of people from Norfolk, Va., to Philadelphia, New York City and Boston."
When will we know more?
Ryan Hanrahan, the meteorologist with the NBC station in Hartford says we are at least 36 to 48 hours away from "really getting a good handle on Sandy."
"Sandy is a bit of a pain ... She's not behaving like most tropical storms or hurricanes do. The 'spaghetti plot' of this afternoon's GFS ensembles really tells the story with 2 distinct possible paths for Sandy," Hanrahan says in his blog. Some forecasters "curve the storm east ... the other half of the models take Sandy to just east of Cape Hatteras and sling shot it west into New England. That would be one of the most unusual paths ever documented for a New England tropical storm or hurricane!"

The holidays are upon us, and many residents will be traveling this week to see family and friends all across New England.
State Police are doing their part to help ensure these visits don't end in tragedy because of impaired or distracted driving.
The Massachusetts State Police joined forces with other New England State Police divisions at headquarters in Framingham to explain their C.A.R.E program.
Increased patrols this week will be cracking down on impaired/drunk driving, texting while driving and seatbelt law violations, among other things.
"We aren't trying to discourage people from going out and enjoying themselves," Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy P. Alben said. "We just want to make sure they are being safe and responsible."
The C.A.R.E (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) program is a joint venture helping troopers keep an eye on incidents in the area, especially as motorists can easily travel between the small New England states.
"We want to make this a holiday season where no one is seriously injured or killed in a crash. That will truly be something to be thankful for," Alben said.
In New Hampshire, state police this year have already dealt with 94 deaths from motor vehicle crashes. New Hampshire State Police Capt. John LeLacheur said the stepped-up patrols are an effort to keep that number under 100 for the year.
"Last year we had 13 deaths between Thanksgiving and New Year's," LeLaucher said. "In the past, we've noticed mid-week spikes late in December when offices are having Christmas parties, so those times will be enforced more on the roads."
According to LeLaucher, many of the crashes don't happen on the main highways in the state, but rather, on the smaller secondary roads.
Capt. Karen Pinch of the Rhode Island State Police said her department will nearly double the patrols during the holiday season. Pinch also said they have stepped up their enforcement and have issued more citations for distracted driving and seatbelt violations than last year.
"Traffic enforcement remains the single most effective tool in detecting and diminishing criminal activity," said Vermont State Police Lt. John Flannigan.

During each monthly telephone session, experts provide presentations about dementia that are geared to both family caregivers and healthcare professionals, including medical, behavioral, practical, social and spiritual issues. Up to 100 family and professional caregivers from anywhere in the nation can call in to the live one-hour phone sessions. A member of AFA's social work team facilitates each session and encourages call-in participants to pose questions to the experts as well as share their own experiences in a supportive environment. Participants can simply listen or contribute to the conversation during the interactive sessions. For information about specific speakers and topics, see below.
Attention professional caregivers: for those professionals qualified by AFA's membership and training division, Dementia Care Professionals of America (DCPA), each session will count as one hour of training toward credits required to renew your DCPA status.
Connecting is free and simple.
On the second Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. (ET), call Care Connection's toll-free number and, when prompted, enter the designated guest identification number.

The steering system has been completely revised and adapted for a more immediate response and greater driving dynamics. Around the straight-ahead position, in particular, the ratio is now more direct. With the variable steering ratio and special valve settings on the power-steering system, optimum manoeuvrability is ensured. The turning circle of the Cayenne models is just 39.1 ft..
The steering column itself consists of multiple collapsing sections linked by two universal joints and a special deformation element provides additional safety in the event of a front impact.
Electro-hydraulic power steering is used for the first time on the Cayenne S Hybrid. The demand-driven pump only provides assistance to the steering as and when required, thereby contributing to overall efficiency.
Power steering Plus is a speed-sensitive power-steering system. At higher speeds, the steering becomes firmer, inputs are more precise and driver comfort is enhanced. At lower speeds, it enables easy manoeuvrability and parking.
Standard on the Cayenne S Hybrid. Optional for all other Cayenne models.
