Refer Questions of Scientific Controversy to the FBI?
Questions about global warming turn upon clashes of legitimate scientific opinion. The climate controversy is not a focus for us here, but preserving the freedom to debate unsettled science very much is. So some comments of Attorney General Loretta Lynch yesterday to the Senate Judiciary Committee were troubling. From CNSNews:
Attorney General Loretta Lynch acknowledged Wednesday that there have been discussions within the Department of Justice about possibly pursuing civil action against so-called climate change deniers.
"This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on," Lynch said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department operations.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) raised the issue, drawing a comparison between possible civil action against climate change deniers and civil action that the Clinton administration pursued against the tobacco industry for claiming that the science behind the dangers of tobacco was unsettled.
"The similarities between the mischief of the tobacco industry pretending that the science of tobacco's dangers was unsettled and the fossil fuel industry pretending that the science of carbon emissions' dangers is unsettled has been remarked on widely, particularly by those who study the climate denial apparatus that the fossil fuel industry has erected," Whitehouse said.
Referring huge questions of science to a federal judge for adjudication is bad enough. That's what Judge John Jones did -- a self-referral -- in the 2005 Dover trial. From his Harrisburg, PA, courtroom, Jones took it on himself to decide the age-old question of whether nature gives evidence of design. "Referring" matters of scientific debate to the FBI takes the presumption of Judge Jones to a whole new and more sinister level.
The idea of going after climate skeptics under the RICO Act is not new and has been entertained by some prominent scientists and by the Attorney General of New York State. That the U.S. Attorney General does not dismiss using the law in such a way comes as an unwelcome surprise.
Emily Zanotti at The American Spectator writes:
I suspect what they've considered, rather than a massive court case against an entire industry, is the RICO charge suggestion posed by a few dedicated climate scientists and the New York Attorney General, forcing companies and organizations to turn over financial information to see whether they've pushed an anti-Climate Change legislation policy agenda, "disrupting" the government's ability to effectively address the issue of global warming with industry-crippling regulations that would do more to punish administration dissidents than they would to curb carbon emissions.
As I've said before, one hesitates to give ideas to censors operating in other areas of scientific disagreement. But Darwinists are not shy about using power to silence dissent, nor do they lack inventiveness in seeking new ways to do so. It would be surprising if schemes like this haven't crossed their minds.

get the XL, definitely.
it's WAY better, anyone recommending the normal 3DS is just doing so because they're still stuck with it and don't want to be left alone (sorry ) - or just don't want to admit to themselves that there's already something better available
i tried the XL at a store and the placement of the headphonejack alone dismisses it for me. i also dont like the two crack ins (no idea how to name that) when you open the 3DS, you know? oh and i have 2 bags for the 3DS where a Xl wouldnt fit in ^^

Singapore Theme Parks & Other Attractions
Singapore Attractions
Looking for fun in Singapore? It isn't hard to find as the city-state, in spite of its conservative and staid reputation, is packed with attractions.

The G-Max Reverse Buggy needs only seriously deranged people to go on it: people who are not afraid to be launched skyward at 200kmph.
On the more tranquil side of things, Songs of the Sea is a nightly 25-minute son et lumiere show for the family while Singapore Science Centre is an examplary 'edutainment' experience. Relax and have fun in the City-State, you'll not want for fun things to do and see.Read More

Haw Par Villa
Also known as the Tiger Balm Gardens Haw Par Villa is a theme park built around the heroes and legends of Chinese mythology. The park, built with the fortunes made by the Au brothers from the medicinal cure-all Tiger Balm, features a collection of vivid plaster and concrete figures.

There's also the grandiose Nine Dragon Wall and statues of the Laughing Buddha and the gods of Happiness, Wealth and Longevity.
But the piece de resistance of Haw Par Villa is undoubtedly the Ten Courts of Hell, which depict the various punishments suffered by men and women for sloth, indulgence, gambling, drinking and adultery. New additions to Haw Par Villa include a roller-coaster boat ride, and multimedia performances of Chinese legends and myths.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Davante Gardner came off the bench to score a season-high 19 points, and Junior Cadougan and Vander Blue each added 17 to lead Marquette to an 84-80 victory over LSU on Saturday. Gardner made all nine free-throw attempts, including six in the final 36 seconds. Jamil Wilson added 11 points for Marquette (8-3), which overcame a 49-47 loss at Green Bay on Wednesday by winning its 15th straight home game. Andre Stringer finished with a season-high 20 points for LSU (7-2). The Tigers, in a stretch of 17 days between home games, got 18 points from Anthony Hickey. After two Gardner free throws gave Marquette an 80-76 lead with 35.2 seconds remaining, Charles Carmouche lost his dribble off his foot with Trent Lockett guarding him. Gardner picked the ball up, was fouled and sank two free throws for an 82-76 lead. He added two more for an 84-78 lead with 9.6 seconds left.

Although the Currie Cup is nearing the halfway stage, there is still no clear-cut favourite to take the honours in this year's tournament.
Although the Currie Cup action is nearing the halfway stage, there is still no clear-cut favourite to take the honours in this year's tournament.
Judging from the previous rounds' action, one thing has become evident – predicting winners is not an easy task as all six teams are evenly matched and home ground advantage counts for little.
This was best illustrated in Pretoria last weekend where the Golden Lions upset their hosts, the Blue Bulls, and beat them by a 39-point margin.
The Lions get proceedings underway this weekend when they host the defending champions – and only unbeaten side left in this year's competition – Western Province in Johannesburg on Friday.
The action continues on Saturday when neighbours the Free State Cheetahs and Griquas do battle in Bloemfontein and the Blue Bulls face another daunting task against the Sharks in Durban.

Golden Lions v Western Province
Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg
The home side are on a high after last weekend's 62-23 thrashing of the Blue Bulls and will look to continue where they left off against the champions this weekend.
The Lions can expect a closer encounter, however, as the holders are the only unbeaten side left in the competition. After drawing their opener against the Blue Bulls, the men from Cape Town have notched two narrow victories on successive weekends over the Cheetahs and Griquas respectively.
WP coach Allister Coetzee knows that despite his side's unbeaten record, they have not yet played to their potential. He expects the Lions to pose a threat on their own turf, especially after their recent win over the Blue Bulls.
"I thought the Lions were awesome against the Blue Bulls last week, you don't often go to Loftus and put 60 past the Bulls, but they played at a high tempo and will be a threat with their ball-in-hand approach," he said.
Lions boss Johan Ackermann praised his troops after that victory over the Bulls. It was their first win of the competition after they suffered losses to the Cheetahs and Sharks in their two previous matches.
Although the win came at the right time, Ackermann wants his charges to build on that result.
"At least it brought the log back…and there are positions up for grabs," he said.
"Whereas, if we'd lost and stayed on one point, it would have made it more difficult.
"One or two games (losses) and the whole thing can change again.
"It is a small relief but there is still a lot of work to do."
Prediction: This should be a fascinating battle between two sides with contrasting styles. The home side's expansive game-plan will get the better of their opponents' defence orientated patters. The Lions to win by five points!
The teams:

Free State Cheetahs v Griquas
Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein
Both sides will be desperate for victory after suffering narrow losses last weekend. The Cheetahs, in particular, would have done plenty of soul searching after their defeat to the Sharks.
This after they failed to score any points in the second half after leading their opponents 15-6 at half-time. The same scenario took place two weeks ago in their clash against Western Province in Cape Town when they held a 14-10 lead at the interval.
To his credit, Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske hasn't panicked and made only one change to his starting XV, bringing in Rossouw de Klerk for Caylib Oosthuizen.
This means that discarded Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane moves from tighthead prop to the loosehead side and Drotske expects the burly front-rower to make a huge impact against Griquas, after an impressive display against the Sharks.
"Trevor did very well against the Sharks and he showed that he wants to play rugby," Drotske said.
"His versatility is such a huge plus for the side. We look forward to another good performance by him."
Griquas are the competition's underdogs but they have done well to box above their weight against more fancied opponents. Last weekend they fought back well against Western Province – before losing by a point and their coach Pote Human knows they cannot afford another slip up.
"We missed out on the victory against Province, but we now target the Cheetahs as a game that we have to win," he said.
"If we can manage that, it would give us immense momentum for the rest of the competition."
Prediction: This match will be an entertaining affair as both sides will give the ball plenty of air. The hosts hold an advantage on defence, however. Cheetahs to win by 10 points!
The teams:
Free State Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Riaan Smit, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Boom Prinsloo (captain), 5 Lood de Jager, 4 Teboho Mohoje, 3 Rossouw de Klerk, 2 Hercu Liebenberg, 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 16 Wian du Preez, 18 Waltie Vermeulen, 19 Davon Raubenheimer, 20 Kevin Luiters, 21 Willie du Plessis, 22 Piet Lindeque
Griquas: 15 PJ Vermeulen, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 JP Nel, 12 Howard Mnisi, 11 Rocco Jansen, 10 Francois Brummer, 9 Marnus Hugo, 8 Leon Karemaker, 7 Burger Schoeman, 6 Carel Greeff, 5 Rory Arnold, 4 Hilton Lobberts, 3 Nick Schonert, 2 Ryno Barnes (c), 1 Steph Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Matt Dobson, 17 Brummer Badenhorst, 18 Patrick O'Brien, 19 Marnus Schoeman, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Du Randt Gerber, 22 Richard Lawson.

I climbed mountains
and mountains
of tries....
and found myself
sliding down
with each step
But I kept reaching,
grabbing forward..
no grip sustained me
no ledge to
hang from
nothing to keep me up..
I just slid,
letting go of
every resistance to stay
and began to settle
in the richest darkness
of being alone

Beautiful and sad.
I think we have all felt that way at one point.
Very good write : )
Hey leesah:) I like this, because it's like when you can't hold on you would think that something bad will happen yet you make it sound so different "the richest darkness" and to settle in it as a peacefulness. so then have you become the "light" in your dark? what a nice way to think.
love your note up there: 'sliding....weee' cool!
hey, have a grrreeeeaaaat day :)
thanks again...for your comments..to be light in my dark, good line, hmmmm idea for a poem?? To settle in that peacefulness, I have yet to be in that place....poetry is good to move towards and ascend to that place...thanks again sweetie:)
Another awesome poem.
I was joyfully carried right off with you.
This hits home for me, sometimes giving in can be winning, at least I like to think so! Very nice ~ Nixie

James' POV
The sun was shining brightly upon my face as I awoke to a sound of a piano. I listened to the slight noises of the keys being pressed gently. It was nothing like I had ever heard. The melody seemed bright but depressing. My vision was fuzzy – almost like a dream. As my senses slowly came back to me, I heard an angelic voice of a girl singing along with the beautiful melody. Who was singing? Her voice was amazing. I had to go find her.
I searched the room that I was in and found that my surroundings included a grand piano, chairs, desks, dry erase board and a window. There was no sign of a girl singing or playing piano, but I could still hear the distinct sound of that voice. Without a doubt, it was coming from the room next door.
My footsteps echoed through the vast hallway as I rushed towards the sound, but before I reached the room, all the noise had stopped. I hesitated for a moment before opening the door, what will I say or do when I find her? I sighed, let's just give it a try, no one's going to say anything if I open the door for just a second.
I took a deep breath and opened the door to find the sun blinding my eyes. I saw a girl. She was faced away from me. She had long black hair and a school uniform. I couldn't recognize if the uniform was from our school or from another school because of the sunlight. I could only make out one thing, it was a necklace that was shaped like a crescent moon.
Before I said anything, she was gone. Only the sound of the back door closing echoed in the distance. Will I ever be able to find her?
Author's Note: If you haven't noticed already, I write a lot of novels with music in it. I don't know why. I have a lot of experience with music? I hope you like this story:)

Explaining Disparities in Unemployment Dynamics
This paper attempts to explain disparities among the unemployment experiences of different OECD countries in terms of the `fragility' of the short-run unemployment equilibrium (the impact of labour market shocks on the short-run unemployment rate) and the lag structure of the employment determination, wage setting, and labour force participation decisions. The effects of this lag structure on unemployment dynamics are captured through two general measures of `unemployment persistence' (occurring when temporary shocks have prolonged effects on unemployment) and `imperfect unemployment responsiveness' (occurring when permanent shocks have a delayed effect on unemployment).

So it's goodbye to the clunkily synthesised Swedish-robot-with-adenoids speech familiar from TV commercials. Thanks to a more powerful new processing chip, the computer-generated voice sounds closer to Hawking's original, which went south when Amytropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) struck him as a 21-year-old in 1963. Hawking's greatest achievement? "Being alive today," the 57-year-old told the Fermilab crew. "I am happier now than before my condition appeared. My ALS ruled out most careers except theoretical physics."
GET ME rewrite. Graeme Le Saux's exciting new Evening Standard column this week had the attention of every red-blooded footie fan. We're all gagging to get his side of the gay taunt spat at Liverpool last week. So? "At this point in time," he begins magisterially, "I have absolutely nothing to say about the subject." What a fridge.
CHANNEL 4'S POLITICAL editor Elinor Goodman must be quite unhappy in her present job. So rhythmic is her relationship with the Department of the Environment that it has been lobbying for her to get the head honcho's job at the new Countryside Agency. But Goodman, currently separated from the Prime Minister's pet economic wonk, Derek Scott, seems to have more reach than grasp. Others within Downing Street vetoed Goodman's appointment. Don't give up the day job just yet, Elinor.
CHERIE BOOTH QC has been leading a large - and legally aided - High Court case. The defendants, mostly unemployed since October 1991, are embroiled in litigation with the defunct bank BCCI. In her opening statement, Booth felt she should explain her clients' reluctance to take part-time or temporary jobs. Booth blamed the benefits system which was, she told the court, "becoming harsher". The benefits system, she added, punishes unemployed people with a mortgage who take on anything other than permanent full-time work. Isn't this a subject she could mention over breakfast to her Number One Guy?
STOP HIM before he writes again Dept. In next Monday's New Yorker, American literary colossus John Updike offers an ode to genuflecting geisha Monica L. It accuses her of being "Bill's Delilah" and, flying in the face of all the evidence, ends "You're his-tor-y now, Monica/ In your little black beret." Not just yet, baby.
ASTOUNDING TRUE fact: You know what the most popular spirit in Scotland is? Vodka.
IT WAS cognac that flowed at the K-Bar's first birthday party this week. Piers Adam, owner of the glitzy six-venue chain had arranged for Moet Hennessy to cater the event with triple shots of frozen XO brandy. Revellers walked through a long laser-lit tunnel to a VIP room guarded by two six- foot-tall blonde amazons. Moet Hennessy's main board had flown in specially from France. And which A-list celebutantes met their astonished gaze? Renegade fashion muse Miss Trixie, Coronation Street micro-icon Chris Quinten and expansive Tory club owner Peter Stringfellow. That chilled cognac kicks hard, and Pandora's enquiries about the event were met with glassy smiles and gallic shrugs. Let's put it down to Global Cooling.
BUT THE winner of Pandora's saucer of milk this morning is the K-Bar rockchick who was slagging off the Beatles tribute band Oasis. One of the Gallagher wives, Meg Mathews, abandoned her "column" in the Sunday Times recently, so she could spend more time running her party business with her friend Fran. "They're so over," the rockchick sighed, "We call them Freg and Man now." Miaow!

All Pearl Rings
Pearls are the world's only organic gems. They are true gifts of nature. Unlike diamonds and other gemstones, pearls are considered a green luxury. They are not mined and their natural hosts are beneficial to the environment. A pearl ring, with a single pearl set on a gold band, is the perfect way to showcase nature's beauty.

Three airlines try for holiday fare hike
Holiday travelers may want to lock in airfares now, because they're going up.
Or not.
At least two U.S. airlines are raising prices for the first time since late summer and others may follow.
Delta Air Lines Inc. raised one-way fares by $4 to $10 across most of their U.S. routes late Tuesday, according to Rick Seaney of Farecompare.com. Soon after, United Continental Holdings Inc. matched the increases. That's the company that was formed to handle the ongoing merger between United and Continental that will be finished next year.
It's the first widespread fare increase attempt since early August and the 17th try this year.
The increase may not stick. Airlines often roll back fare increases if enough competitors don't match them. A recent attempt to raise prices in smaller cities met resistance, Seaney said.
Of the 16 previous attempts to increase prices this year, half of them failed. The eight that succeeded have brought average fares up by $58 to $70, said Citi analyst Will Randow.
The current fare hikes come as airlines begin reporting third-quarter financial results. While higher ticket prices annoy travelers, they send a positive signal to airline investors because it's a sign of strong demand.
Still, higher fares weren't enough to prevent another loss at American Airlines parent AMR Corp., which blamed it on high fuel costs. On Wednesday AMR reported it lost $162 million in the third quarter — its fourth straight losing quarter. Southwest Airlines Co. is set to report results Thursday morning.
Some travelers may avoid higher fares by taking advantage of fare sales. Many airlines recently matched a winter fare sale from Southwest that runs through Thursday. It excludes most peak travel days around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Lawyers for Oscar Pistorius have successfully lobbied to a judge to relax the sprinter's bail conditions so that he can travel abroad while awaiting his murder trial. At his original bail hearing back in February, Pistorius—who shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day—had been ordered to surrender his passport and check in at a local police station every week, essentially restricting his ability to travel anywhere outside his own home. However, on Thursday a judge lifted those travel restrictions and gave Pistorius his passport back so that he can once again travel internationally.
RELATED: Oscar Pistorius Breaks Down in Court After Hearing Murder Charge
Despite the seriousness of his crime and considerable wealth that could allow him to flee to almost anywhere, Pistorius can make a legitimate argument that he needs to be able to travel abroad. As a world-class sprinter, his "job" requires him to attend track and field events all over the world (and make public appearances for sponsors) so confining him to South Africa makes it almost impossible for him to earn money.
RELATED: The Potential Case Against Oscar Pistorius
Pistorius was released on $112,000 bail. His trial on first-degree murder charges is expected to start later this summer.

IBM, AMD, ARM, Others Look to Unite CPUs, Accelerators
The group is creating the CCIX interconnect to enable faster processing of such emerging workloads like data analytics, machine learning and 5G.IBM, ARM and Advanced Micro Devices are among the tech vendors teaming up to create a single data center interconnect fabric that will enable chips and accelerators from different vendors to communicate without the need for complex programming. The new Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) will make servers more efficient and better able to run such emerging data center workloads like big data analytics, machine learning, 4G and 5G wireless networking, video analytics and network-functions virtualization (NFV), according to officials with the companies involved. Other vendors involved are Huawei Technologies, Mellanox Technologies, Qualcomm and FPGA maker Xilinx, which announced that the new product roadmap for its 16-nanomter UltraScale+ FPGAs will include offerings that include integrated High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and support for CCIX. The CCIX fabric will allow the various chips, accelerators and networking silicon—from CPUs and graphics chips to field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)—to seamlessly move data between the systems powered by these technologies. The new workloads demand increasingly fast and efficient processing, and systems makers are turning to accelerators like FPGAs, GPUs and digital signal processors (DSPs) to work with CPUs—whether x86 chips from Intel and AMD or IBM Power processors or ARM-based systems-on-a-chip (SoCs)—to more quickly, efficiently and affordably run the applications.
A single interconnect fabric specification that enables processors that use disparate instruction set architectures to communicate will accelerate these capabilities.

More Obama: My plan might stop doctors from cutting off your foot
posted at 10:14 pm on August 11, 2009 by Allahpundit
Townhall's trying to turn this into a sequel to the now-legendary tonsils soundbite from his presser a few weeks ago. I don't think it's that bad — he's not accusing doctors of trying to cash in on unnecessary amputations, merely emphasizing that we need to create better incentives to address medical problems early — but it is weird that this guy keeps coming back to amputated body parts when talking about this. The two goals of ObamaCare as I understand it are making sure everyone has access to treatment generally and (giggle) reducing overall federal health-care spending. I didn't realize there was an epidemic of people losing appendages that's driving the urgency, but there you have it.
Oh, and as for his hosannas about preventative care: You know the drill by now.

Having been born in a supposed capitalist country that has had the same president for 33 years, one would be forgiven for not having much faith in the government.
So today I find myself in a foreign country searching for 'greener pastures' as the cliche goes. Not that there is much to graze on the other side of the bridge.
However, my fellow countrymen defiant inspite of the malevolent circumstances still file into the voting polls. Braving the merciless Zimbabwean heat and the just as malicious fear for their lives.
Why do they even bother? People often ask me, in all honesty there isn't a simple answer to such a question, except maybe hope.
Hope that a new president can help ease the pain of the permanent abrasion that has been put on us gradually for 33years. Hope that we can be better.
So every four years my brothers and sisters cast their votes. We sit infront of our televisions both buoyant and terrified and we hope..

Apple Computer last week announced that it had bought the Macintosh assets of Power Computing, the first and largest Mac clone maker, in a deal worth $100m (pounds 62m). Its acquisition gives it control over Power's key resources, including 25 direct-marketing staff, the customer database and the licence to distribute the Mac OS. Apple claims that it bought the company because Power Computing had not expanded the market for the Mac OS. "When Apple originally designed its licensing programme back in 1994," Fred Anderson, acting chief executive for Apple, said: "The intent was for it to be expansionary ... the unfortunate reality was that the clone vendors did not sell very many systems to new customers. I'd guess 99 per cent of their sales represented sales to the existing customer base." Apple's move has come in for censure in Internet newsgroups. Critics wonder whether the company will offer performance improvements or keep prices low without competition from Power. Power Computing retains its manufacturing assets and its name. It will continue to sell Macintosh clones until the end of the year but will be switching its manufacturing capacity to building Intel and Windows-based machines.
Digital announces StrongARM tactics
Computing on the move has received a boost with the unveiling by Digital Equipment Corporation of the latest in their line of StrongARM processors. The SA-1100 is a low-power chip with performance up to five times greater than current processors, is designed to increase the capabilities of portable PCs, as well as help to fulfil the potential offered, but so far rarely realised, by subnotebooks, wallet PCs, smart cell phones and Web phones. One of the first devices to benefit will be handheld and pocket PCs running Windows CE. "The SA-1100 microprocessor really opens up the envelope for Windows CE performance," Jim Floyd, Microsoft's handheld PC product manager, said. "The SA-1100 and the Windows CE operating system have matching strengths and features that can bring desktop performance to handheld PCs." According to International Data Corporation, the total market for portable computing products will grow from 3.1 million units in 1996 to nearly 28 million units by 2001. Handheld computing devices are expected to represent the largest market sector with 16 million units in 2001. The market for smart cell phones, which combine electronic mail and Internet access with voice communication, is projected to grow the fastest - from 35,000 units in 1996 to 8.8 million in 2001.
Readjustment time for IE4
Three weeks before the release of Internet Explorer 4, Microsoft has responded to complaints and feedback about its preview versions of the new software by making changes to the interface of the final release. The browser was designed to integrate with the Windows operating system so that the desktop became a window on the Net as well as on files and programs stored on a local hard disk. The concept of active desktops (the ability to include Web applets in the desktop wallpaper) and many of the new interface features such as single-click navigation instead of the traditional double-click were not welcomed by beta testers. Microsoft will now release IE4 for download on 30 September in three versions. The 14Mb minimum-install version will not change the Windows system interface, it is a browser-only installation with no e-mail or newsreader software - a similar package to Netscape Navigator 4. The 15Mb standard version adds Microsoft Outlook to take care of mail and newsgroups while the 22Mb full version has a raft of extra features for the complete "desktop upgrade". All versions will have access to push channels. Double-click navigation will be the default in all three versions of the final release

Immokalee Gang's Assault on Gay Men Sparks Hate Crime Probe
The scene of the crime in Immokalee
via Google Streetview
Manuel Galan and Cirildo Soliz -- both young, gay and living in rural Collier County -- were walking in the center of Immokalee recently when a car pulled up and someone yelled, "Fucking fags!" Five or six young men jumped out and beat Galan and Soliz bloody while yelling homophobic slurs, police say, before speeding away.
Today, Collier County sheriffs tell Riptide they're investigating the assault as a hate crime.
"They just don't like gay people, so they attacked us," the 27-year-old Galan tells the Naples Daily News.
Galan and Soliz, who is 21, are both are openly gay in a county that's not exactly the paragon of tolerance in South Florida.

Eight hate crimes were prosecuted in Collier just last year, the Daily News reports. Ruth Dorfman, a local LGBT activist whose garage door was defaced with swastikas, says gay Collier residents live in fear after such attacks.
"I still get up every morning and look at my garage door and see if anyone has defaced it," Dorfman tells the paper. "It's not something you get over immediately."
Soliz and Galan, who are friends but not partners, were attacked on Sept. 21 in the heart of Immokalee, a farming town known as the center of Florida's tomato growing region.
The group of men jumped them on Carson Road and Eden Avenue around 6:30 in the evening, pummeling them with fists while calling them "fags," police say.
Galan says that a number of passersby saw the attack and ignored their plight.
"It was right in the middle of the street," Galan tells the Daily News. "People were walking all around us. No one stopped. No one did anything. It hurts me, I knew some of the people."
As the assailants piled back into their car, one pointed at Soliz and said, "I'm going to kill you, and I know where you live."
Galan and Soliz say they knew some of the assailants. A Collier County Sheriffs spokeswoman tells Riptide they've arrested two juveniles in connection with the case, but declined to name them because of their age.
In the meantime, they're treating the attack as a hate crime.
"The local state attorney's office will decide whether to prosecute this as a hate crime," Michelle Batton, the department's public information officer, says.
In the meantime, Galan says he's rarely left his house since the attack. "I'm scared to walk out the front door," he says.

Optimal Per-Use Rentals and Sales of Durable Products and Their Distinct Roles in Price Discrimination

We consider a setting in which consumers experience distinct instances of need for a durable product at random intervals. Each instance of need is associated with a random utility and the consumers are differentiated according to the frequency with which they experience such instances of need. We use our model of consumer utility to characterize the firm's optimal strategy of whether to sell, rent, or do a combination of both in terms of the transaction costs and consumers' usage characteristics. We find that the two modes of operation serve different roles in allowing the firm to price discriminate. While sales allow the firm to discriminate among consumers of different usage frequencies, rentals allow it to discriminate according to consumers' realized valuations. Consequently, even when transaction costs are negligible, it is often optimal for the firm to simultaneously rent and sell its product. In addition, we find that although sales and rentals are substitutes and that the offering of sales weakly increases rental prices, it is possible that the introduction of rentals to a pure selling operation can either increase or decrease the optimal sales prices.
