The Public Utilities Commission will meet today to determine what the next fuel surcharge will be for Guam Power Authority ratepayers. Prospects are grim for anyone hoping rates would at least stay the same, let alone go down. Underrecovery is how much GPA loses between the cost of fuel and the current fuel surcharge. So, we have to start shrinking that (underrecovery)," Johnson said. As Johnson stated, the fuel surcharge will ultimately depend on what commissioners decide, regardless of any proposals or recommendation.

Investigations into doctor accused of sexual harassment near completion

Investigations into two complaints before the Guam Board of Medical Examiners involving allegations of sexual misconduct against a private practicing physician on island may be completed in the next 30 days. He is accused of sexually harassing and assaulting two female patients who were under his care. Akoma has been practicing family medicine on Guam since 2017, but allegations of sexual harassment against the physician date back to 2007. The settlement agreement alleges “unwanted sexual comments” and “unwanted sexual advances” toward female co-workers. He also is alleged to have “violated appropriate examination procedures for female patients.”Akoma faced similar allegations at IHP Medical Group on Guam.

Officials to study why Guam has high rates of infant and maternal deaths

Although health officials have a "gut feeling" the lack of care contributes to the island's high fetal and maternal mortality rates, they have yet to gather evidence to support their hypothesis. We do know that Guam has a high maternal mortality rate,” Ann Pobutsky, DPHSS territorial epidemiologist, told local media and the community during a COVID-19 briefing last week. But, yes, Guam has a very high maternal mortality, not every year women die. But maternal mortality is a trend in the U.S. that has gone up," she said. While gathering the data lies ahead, health officials already have identified which ethnicities have higher rates of fetal and maternal deaths.

World Cup dismay for Qatar as Ecuador wins opening game

The large swathes of empty seats in the second half summed up the Qatar soccer team’s disappointing start to its first ever World Cup. The controversy-laced tournament opened Sunday with the 2019 Asian Cup champions getting outplayed in a 2-0 loss to Ecuador, ensuring a host team lost its opening game for the first time at a World Cup. “This is just the start of the World Cup,” said the 33-year-old Valencia, who has now scored Ecuador’s last five goals at the World Cup, including three in 2014. Put simply, Ecuador was just too good for a team only playing at the World Cup because it is the host. Ecuador coach Gustavo Alfaro was under no illusions, though, saying: “Enner, he will play.”—World Cup dismay for Qatar as Ecuador wins opening game

Families unleash grief and anger on Parkland school shooter

For hours, parents, wives, siblings, children and some of the 17 Cruz also wounded at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day 2018 stood 20 feet (6 meters) from him. Cruz, 24, stared back at them, dressed in a bright red jail jumpsuit, showing no emotion behind a COVID-19 face mask. The two-day hearing will conclude Wednesday when Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer formally sentences him to life without parole. Lead defense attorney Melisa McNeill eventually asked Judge Scherer to stop the families from attacking her and her colleagues directly, saying they had worked within the parameters of Cruz’s constitutional rights in defending him. I have no forgiveness in my heart for you.”—Families unleash grief and anger on Parkland school shooter

Human rights violation worsens in Africa as governments use ‘kill-switch’, enforce internet censorship

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has again cried out over the kidnap and eventual murder of a serving policeman, one Inspector Celestine Oriodovwe, by dare-devil gangs in Enugu State.
