Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008

Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host:

MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors. (You should be able to connect to your database(s) as normal for most of this maintenance window, but you may experience intermittent connectivity issues between midnight and 5:00am EDT.)

We have scheduled this maintenance for a time when traffic to most customers' sites is typically at its lowest. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we expect that the work we're doing will help improve your site's performance.

A STATEMENT FROM THE ACTING GOVERNOR OF GUAM

June 23, 2009

Acting Governor Michael W. Cruz, M.D., issued the following statement regarding the veto of Bill 1 (4-S):

“Since the outset of this process, Governor Camacho and I have been absolutely clear: we must end double session as quickly as possible, while building a new permanent JFK High School. I vetoed bill 1(4-S) because this act as written would jeopardize these independent goals. This act would have jeopardized ongoing RFP negotiations negating a year’s worth of work -- placing the construction of a permanent JFK High School in peril.

Furthermore, the Attorney General's office has said that “certification” as defined in bill 1 (4-S) could not be attained. As such, our office has been working with Speaker Won Pat, the superintendent of the Guam Public School System, and the Guam Education Policy Board to resolve these issues. Doing so will allow us to end double session while continuing the work that must be done to build a permanent JFK High School.

This issue is about our students, their parents, and the teachers. This process has been long, and it is not over yet, but we will bring the JFK Islanders home.”
