We are in the midst of recreating our site after encountering technical difficulties. Please check back for the latest updates. We anticipate the completion of the restoration effort by April 3, 2008.
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. - 04/02/08 at 14:52 ET

Governor highlights “Micronesia Challenge” as regional response to climate change concerns
December 17, 2009
At the start of the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) meeting in San Diego, CA. Governor Felix P. Camacho was asked to share his perspective on climate change with governors and other participants, including representatives from other countries.
Gov. Camacho told attendees that, “Guam is just a small island, but in our part of the world, we are one of the biggest land masses in a stretch of ocean that is roughly the size of the continental U.S. Our community, and our neighbors scattered throughout the vast Pacific, are sharply aware of the devastation that climate change could bring to our homes.”
The governor highlighted a collaborative effort between island leaders from the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands called the Micronesia Challenge. In recognizing the real threat of irreversible damage to their respective island homes, these leaders signed an agreement in 2006 pledging to conserve 30 percent of their near shore resources and 20 percent of their terrestrial resources in the hope of keeping island cultures and lifestyles intact.
“Conservation in the Pacific and for the Micronesia Challenge in particular, is about making sure that these resources are healthy enough to support our children as they have supported our ancestors for thousands of years,” said Gov. Camacho.
“I believe the Challenge provides a good model for the benefits of cooperation and the need for larger scale conservation targets – in our case, a whole region has become involved to reach a common goal that has serious consequences for us all,” said Gov. Camacho.
According to a WGA press release, attendees today also discussed with the Obama Administration other climate adaptation strategies to help ensure that states and the region have sufficient water supplies, transmission that supports clean energy resources, a thriving wildlife population and reduced risks of forest fire.
