A bill to require defendants charged with criminal sexual conduct to undergo testing for HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases at the request of victims could help the island address criminal sexual conduct cases, according to testimony on the proposal.
While providing victims of criminal sexual conduct an avenue to determine potential exposure to STDs early on, it would also help the island comply with a nearly $900,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to the Bureau of Women s Affairs. A condition of the grant is that Guam meets certain requirements concerning HIV testing of defendants charged with sexual offenses.

"Simply Irresistible'' begins with one of the more unlikely Meet Cutes in movie history (Sarah Michelle Gellar chases a runaway crab up the trouser leg of the man she is destined to love). She owns one of those restaurants where all the customers know each other, like in a sitcom. I was settling down for a slow ride when somehow the movie caught hold and turned into an enchanting romantic comedy about people who float to the ceiling when they kiss. It's "Like Water For Chocolate'' meets "Everyone Says I Love You.'' Gellar plays Amanda Shelton, whose restaurant in New York's SoHo is failing fast. (No wonder. She's not such a good cook.) Then one day a mysterious stranger appears in her vicinity and brings a magical crab. Yes, a magical crab. And the beady-eyed little crustacean sets itself up in her kitchen and somehow casts a spell.
