Toyota Prius C
Toyota began adding different-sized cars to the Prius family last year, and the C is the second new model after the V. The C is designed as a small hatchback, well sized for the urban environment. Its hybrid drive system has a smaller engine than the Prius Liftback, so it gets slightly better fuel economy, turning in 53 mpg.
Price: TBD Availability: Second quarter, 2013 The outlook: Fiat takes its cute little retro Italian car and gives it an electric drivetrain. As with many new electric vehicles, the 500e will have a range of about 100 miles, so it will serve primarily as a commute car.

"The Network Community" An Introduction to Networks in the Global Village Barry Wellman Things Ain't Wot They Used To Be - And They Never Were! Why does a debate about whether community exists persist, when the reality of community pervades our existence? Remember the timeless British music hall lament: "Things ain't wot they used to be"? Contemporary urbanites perversely flatter themselves by remarking how well they are coping with stressful modern times in contrast to the easy life their ancestors led.

These hypotheses imply great richness in the new evolutionary spaces opened by progressing from Stage 3 to Stage 4. We would like to study the hypotheses further, examining their possible manifestations in our experience, ways of demonstrating their validity, and possible deductions relative to going to Stage 4. In search of some simple ways to determine what the Neo-Whorfian hypothesis might imply, we could imagine some relatively straightforward means of increasing our external symbol-manipulation capability and try to picture the consequent changes that could evolve in our language and methods of thinking. Actually, it turned out to be simpler to invert the problem and consider a change that would reduce our capability for external symbol manipulation. This allowed an empirical approach which proved both simple and effective.
