MONTREAL — Religious-themed exhibitions and special events abound at many Montreal-area houses of worship and museums.
First up, Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montreal is currently hosting the International Organ Festival, which continues through mid-August.
The fest at 110 Notre Dame St. W. features organ recitals from 7 to 8 p.m. Sundays, Aug. 5, 12 and 19. This year's event highlights the 75th anniversary of the death of two French composers and organists: Charles-Marie Widor, the organist at St. Sulpice Church in Paris; and Louis Vierne, the organist at Notre-Dame de Paris.
The remaining schedule includes symphonies and select works by Widor and Vierne. Tickets cost $5 a concert or $12 for any three concerts.
Every Friday through Oct. 5, visitors are also invited to take a stroll up to the balcony and have a seat at the on-site Casavant Freres organ. The visit, held at 2:30 p.m., is accompanied by rehearsals by organist Pierre Grandmaison. Admission costs $10 for adults and $8 for those 7 to 17 years old.
Admission to the basilica costs $5 for adults and $4 for those 7 to 17. Guided tours take place on the hour and half hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sundays.
Just down the block, Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum and Notre Dame de Bonsecours Chapel combine to tell the story of Marguerite Bourgeoys, one of Montreal's first settlers who is also considered Montreal's first teacher.
The current chapel dates to 1771 and boasts an archaeological dig site, which reveals remnants of the original chapel built in 1675. This sacred place for prayer became a frequent stop for visiting port merchant mariners and is often called the Sailors' Church; look no further than the carved replicas of sailing ships that hang from the vault.
The space at 400 St. Paul St. E. also hosts the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum, which pays homage to the city's first teacher in a permanent exhibition. The new temporary exhibit is "Drawing French America," which displays the historical illustrations of Montrealer Francis Back. It continues through spring 2013. From the museum, you can also access a small observation tower for a great view of Old Montreal.

Customer Reviews
Both meat products were easy to prepare, despite the fact that the ham came without cooking instructions. To be fair, both the ham and turkey were quite tasty, but the amount of salt in both products ruined my overall satisfaction. Because of this reason alone, I would not reorder.

Lyme disease was first identified by researchers in 1975 after large numbers of children in Lyme, Conn., and two neighboring towns were found to have unexplained arthritis. After determining that the children played in wooded areas populated by deer and that symptoms usually started during the height of tick season, the researchers were able to trace the condition to an infection transmitted from deer tick bites. The deer ticks were found to carry Borrelia burgdorderi, a spiral-shaped bacteria that can cause a generalized infection, resulting in a wide range of symptoms.
Adult deer ticks usually live on white-tailed deer, though in their infant stages they prefer smaller animals like squirrels and mice. These deer ticks spread Lyme disease through their bites. Larger "wood ticks" and "dog ticks" have not been found to carry Lyme bacteria.
Lyme disease has been increasing in the Northeast as the deer population has grown and more suburban developments have been built in woodsy areas populated by deer. The condition has been reported in nearly all states, although most cases are concentrated in states in the coastal Northeast and mid-Atlantic region, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northern California. Lyme disease also has been found in Asia, Europe, and most recently in South America. On average, only 1 percent of deer ticks carry Lyme, but in some areas more than half of ticks carry the bacterium.
About 20,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention every year. Typical symptoms include:
If left untreated, infection can spread to the joints, heart, and nervous system. About 10 to 20 percent of untreated individuals will go on to develop chronic arthritis.
Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (i.e., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. Laboratory testing is helpful in the later stages of the disease. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a relatively short course of antibiotics. Ways to prevent infections include using insect repellents, removing ticks promptly, and applying landscaping techniques that include pest management.
This section contains more information on:
The Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burdorferi, is transmitted from animal to person through the bites of certain kinds of ticks. In the Northeast and north-central United States, the blacklegged tick, commonly known as the deer tick, transmits Lyme disease. In the Pacific coastal states, the disease is spread by the western blacklegged tick. Since even adult deer ticks are only about 1/8 inch long—much smaller than the more common dog ticks—they can easily feed off a person undetected. In fact, many people who develop Lyme don't recall having a tick bite. Other tick species in the United States have not been found to carry the Lyme bacterium.
Although the ticks feed on deer, these animals don't become infected with Lyme disease, but they are important for the transmission of Lyme disease since they carry the ticks from place to place. Most cases of human illness occur in the late spring, summer, and early fall, when the tiny nymph ticks feed most actively and when human outdoor activity is greatest. However, infections can occur throughout the year.
Living in areas populated by deer increases the risk of getting Lyme disease. There is no evidence that Lyme disease can be transmitted from person to person. For instance, you can't get infected by touching, kissing, or having sex with a person who has Lyme disease.
Pregnant women should be very careful to avoid ticks because the infection can be transferred to the fetus and can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth. However, no negative effects on the fetus have been found when the mother receives antibiotic treatment for Lyme. There are no reports of Lyme disease transmission through breast milk.
Although no cases of Lyme disease have been linked to blood transfusion, research has shown that the bacteria can live in blood that is stored for transfusion. For this reason, the American Red Cross and Food and Drug Administration ask that people ill with Lyme disease avoid donating blood. Those who have been treated with antibiotics and have recovered from Lyme can donate blood beginning a year after the last dose of antibiotics was taken.
Dogs and cats can get Lyme disease, but there's no evidence that they spread the disease to their owners. These pets can, however, bring infected ticks into the home and yard, so pet owners should consider using tick control products on their animals. Lyme disease can't be transmitted from eating deer meat, but hunters should be aware that they might come in close contact with infected ticks while handling the deer after the hunt.

Petite Lace A-line Gown with Side Split Style 7YP3344 28 29
MY SURPRISE WEDDING DRESS!! I went in with an ideal wedding dress in mind, sweetheart, strapless, mermaid dress with simple beading and satin. I tried on so many dresses that made me feel pretty but not one that made me feel like a bride! I tried on this lace fit and flare dress, and when I say SURPRISE, it was a SURPRISE to me, I fell in love with it! I love how it fit my petite size and made me feel like I was a Beautiful Bride. My mom even loved it and said it was a perfect ten, she rarely gives her opinion but that day she did, and I have to give credit to my future mother in law for picking it out!! I cannot wait for my future husband to see me walking down that aisle to him, in this beautiful dress that makes me feel like I'm a beautiful bride. I'm blessed to have found a dress like this to wear on my special wedding day where I get to marry my best friend! February 12, 2013
UH-MAZING!!! I went in for my bridal appointment with no intention of trying on a fit and flare gown. I had been told at my first appointment at another bridal salon A-line was best for my body type because Im curvy and quite top heavy...boy was that girl wrong! The consultant at Davids Bridal put me in this and I immediately loved it! It gives my body a beautiful shape and really is super flattering. Im so glad my consultant encouraged me to step out of my box and Im SO EXCITED I get to wear this gorgeous gown down the aisle in August. February 11, 2013
Sheer elegence Before I went to davids bridal I had a completely different dress in mind. After I tried on the dress that I thought would be the one looked like a complete diaster. 2 weeks later I went back to david's bridal and as I walking through the isles this dress caught my eye and I had to try it on. As soon as I stepped out of the dressing room and looked in the mirror my wedding day popped right into my head. I knew at that moment this was the dress. Its light and very comfortable and for being a little curvy it compliments me in all the right ways! January 29, 2013
best purchase ever! I bought this dress a few months ago and knew it was my dress the moment I tried it on. It is so beautiful and the lace is so vintage like. I love it. January 4, 2013

100 Questions You'd Never Ask Your Parents
Straight Answers to Teens' Questions About Sex, Sexuality, and Health
Elisabeth Henderson & Nancy Armstrong
Roaring Brook Press
What does an orgasm feel like?
You've asked one of the most common questions teens have, so be assured you're not alone in wondering.
An orgasm is the emotional and physical sensations that are felt at the end of sexual arousal when built-up muscle tension in the body is released. Put simply, it is the climax of the sensations that have been brought about by sexual excitement. Having an orgasm is also sometimes called "cumming."
If you ask ten people what an orgasm feels like, you might get ten different answers because orgasms are unique to each person. For some people, an orgasm involves the whole body—the heart races, the person may vocalize sounds or words, the muscles throughout the body may twitch, breathing can be heavy, and the person may feel flushed. For others, the feeling is more concentrated and remains in the areas of the vagina or penis. Although an orgasm will feel different to each person, it is a pleasurable feeling and often associated with euphoria and excitement. It has been described as feeling like a very strong tingling, pleasant and pulsating muscle contractions, or a warm throbbing.
When I have sex the first time, will people be able to tell?
No. Although you may feel like everybody knows, they likely won't. You won't look any different, and there will be no outward physical signs that you've had sex. You may, however, feel differently because having sex for the first time is such a big decision, both emotionally and physically. Unless you act differently, however, it is unlikely that anybody will know.
Can a girl get pregnant even if she doesn't orgasm?
Absolutely. A girl can get pregnant whether or not she has an orgasm. That a girl can avoid getting pregnant by not having an orgasm is one of the biggest myths among teens. An orgasm, or lack of one, does not affect whether or not a girl can become pregnant.
What does affect a girl's ability to get pregnant is whether or not she is ovulating. Once a month a girl ovulates, which means her body releases an egg.1 If the egg is fertilized with a guy's sperm, it may eventually develop into a baby. The timing of the release of the egg (ovulation) is based upon the girl's menstrual cycle, or period.
Remember, lack of an orgasm has no effect on whether or not an egg is released. So, yes, a girl can get pregnant even if she doesn't orgasm.

DALLAS (AP) Dallas police say an officer who shot a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape has been fired.
Police Chief David Brown apologized Thursday for the actions of Officer Cardan Spencer. He had been on administrative leave following the Oct. 14 shooting.
Brown initially said at a news conference that Spencer would face a charge of aggravated assault. But police later issued a statement saying a judge declined to sign the warrant. The case will go to a grand jury instead.
Spencer wrote in a police report that he shot Bobby Gerald Bennett after the 52-year-old man lunged at him and another officer with a knife. But video captured by a neighbor's surveillance camera shows Bennett didn't appear to move toward the officers before he was shot.

Let the Fanfare Commence Play- My Last Sunrise (and day of this 365/366 project)
Let the fanfare commence play….for today is a monumental day for me, for I have made it to the end of my 365 days project (366 with it being a leap year).
I had a quiet word with Mother Nature this morning, requesting a decent sunrise for my last day…she didn't let me down.
I think I can say now, with my head held high that I did it! Not one day did I miss, no cheating for me, I actually did it! I am so incredibly proud of this project and I am overwhelmed by the support I have had from people all around the world, people that I didn't know before I started this project.
This project has had a profound effect on me and on my life, which is why I am going to be doing a second one, starting in a few days time.
Thank you again, to my followers and to all of your comments. I apologise if I didn't get round to replying to you, but thank you, they mean a lot to me.
Well, I hope you like my final post on this 365. I just took it enroute to work. I am in fact writing this in the car, so this really is hot off the press :-)

Well, firstly, I still have 1 more day, due to the Leap Year, so technically this project was actually about 366 days, not 365 days.
I have so much to say and I guess I will say most of it tomorrow on my final post for this 365 project….however, I will be doing a second 365 project as it is part of me now… this 365 bug! and like I mentioned in a previous post, I hope you will join me on that adventure too! Especially as I will be concentrating much much more on my photography, as I am dedicating 2 days a week to photography, for not only is this project coming to an end this week, but on Friday I will be leaving one of my jobs and I am going to focus more now on what I want in life and what I need to do to make me happy and that is taking photographs. of course, my partner makes me happy, friends, family etc but I want/need to do something for me.
Some good news regarding my second 365, is that I will be travelling to the other side of the world during 2012, so I will get to share this with you!
As I write, this, I am sitting alongside the waters edge, getting bitten to death by ants, as I have been patiently waiting for the sun to go down. I hope my efforts were worth the while!
By the way, it was grey and miserable this morning with lots of rain to go in the is and I was so worried that I wouldn't have a nice photo to share today, looks like lady luck was on my side!
So, just one more post to go! And one more thing to say on today's post….today, is my Uncle's 60th Birthday, so Uncle John…this one is for you.
Day 364 Tuesday 27th March 2012
Just took this photo, I am in the car as I write this enroute to work. My partner kindly stopped for a while, so that I could photograph the sunrise and the reflections on the water.
I feel so alive seeing beauty like this, first thing in the morning, What a nice start to my day! :-)
Day 362, Sunday 25th March 2012
Grey Skies Looming……Again…
Had a relatively quiet day today. went for a very short ride on my scooter to the local beach, where I took this photo. As you can see, rain was threatening, but as I write this, the sun has come out and so far, there has been no actual sign of rain….perhaps this afternoon, it will brighten up.
Avoca Beach, Central Coast, NSW, Australia
Day 361 Saturday 24th March 2012
A Day of Tranquility
Today has been such a lovely day, as went to a place called The Forest of Tranquility, which is located on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia, where we went for a 5km walk and then had a picnic.
Afterwards, we drove back along the coast and stopped off at a lake which is where I took this photo. Both the water and sky were so blue.
If I hadn't taken this shot, my other choice for today,would have been a photo that I took of a yellow bird…it was really beautiful. Perhaps I will share with you, after my 365 project comes to an end.
This photo, of the pelicans ties in really with me and my passion of water, of peace and well….tranquility.
Day 360 Friday 23rd March 2012
I am rather glad to see the back of this week as it has been such an incredibly long one and I feel mentally exhausted. Looking forward to kayaking at some point during the weekend, especially as the weather is forecast to be as nice as it was today..blue blue blue sky!
I took this shot on my way home, after my daily commute. The days are closing in and soon the clocks will be changing, which will mean even shorter days. I need to make the most of the daylight, even if it is just for a short while, whilst stepping out of the car to take a photograph like this. It's the best I can do I am afraid! I hope I can take some nice/better photographs over the weekend.
Day 359 Thursday 22nd March 2012
After yet another long day at work, I was drawn to water, however, the sun had already set and night time was falling.
Day 357 Tuesday 20th March 2012
The Things I do for Photography….
After a very long day at work, I saw the most amazing sunset…which really lifted my spirits. I waded in to the middle of a lagoon, with my skirt tucked into my undies, so that I could take this shot….I hope you like it! :-)
Avoca Beach Lagoon, NSW, Australia
Day 355 Sunday 18th March 2012
Woy Woy Bay, NSW Australia
I went for an early morning ride on my scooter this morning and it was so lovely, the smell of the eucalyptus trees after the rain…..bliss!
Later in the afternoon, we went for a drive in the car and stopped off at a place called Woy Woy Bay, which is where this was taken.
I think this would be a nice place for us to to kayak, in the not too distant future, once my back is ok to do so.
Day 353 Friday 16th March 2012
2 Skies
It was a beautiful day today. It felt more like Summer than Autumn.
As my day was spent in an office, without having an opportunity to see natural light, when I finally did get an opportunity, I grabbed it with both hands and feet, and boy did the sky have some impressive light to show me, once I had finished my train commute.
This was taken in a place called Gosford, NSW, Australia. Apparently, they are predicting storms tonight and I think they may be right.
Anyway, I hope you like the reflections.
Day 347 Saturday 10th March 2012
Surfing Trio
This morning I woke up at 3am! Yes, you heard me right…3am on a Saturday! Too many things on my mind.
I decided to walk to my local beach to watch the sunrise and it was beautiful.
Avoca Beach is so incredibly beautiful and I must say, I have missed witnessing the sun rise over the ocean.
I was very tempted to put one of the sunrise shots up, but as there weren't many clouds (not that I'm complaining about that….after all the rain we've had of late, a clear blue sky is welcome in my day, any day!), the sunrise wasn't as atmospheric as I had hoped and I actually rather like this capture, of 3 surfers off for their morning surf. Felt rather envious of them actually.
Day 346 Friday 09th March 2012
At the End of the Week
So happy that it is the end of the working week. On our way home, we stopped off at a sports stadium to watch an NRL rugby game. It was an exciting match and our team won.
This photo was taken enroute to the game.
Gosford, NSW, Australia
Day 343 Tuesday 06th March 2012
Life is all about the Journey
Another photo taken on my journey home, travelling by train.
Central Coast, NSW, Australia
Day 341 Sunday 04th March 2012
Blue Sky!
It's funny how I only recently mentioned how I would give anything to see some blue sky and some sunshine, after all the rain we have recently had….well, blue sky and sunshine was what I woke up to today, even though the weather forecast was for more rain. I guess they got it wrong…but I was pleased that they did.
We spent a few hours here, a place called Pearl Beach, a short drive from where we now live.
Pearl Beach, NSW, Australia
Day 338 Thursday 01st March 2012
Pelican in the Rain
This pelican seemed rather content in the rain and it was pouring down when I took this, though it felt really warm, so getting wet by the rain didn't bother me, in actual fact, it was rather refreshing.
Taken on my way home from work.
Day 335 Monday 27th February 2012
Through my Train Window
Today has been such a busy day for me. I feel as though I did a weeks work in the space of just half a day. I feel as though I well and truly deserved seeing this beautiful scenery through my train window enroute home.
Day 334 Sunday 26th February 2012
Beautiful Avoca Beach
Today has been a day of relaxation, spent couple of hours at our local beach which is where I took this photo.
Avoca Beach NSW, Australia
Day 332 Friday 24th February 2012
This was just what I needed after a very long day in the office, seeing a beautiful sunset.
I took this photo this evening, on my way home. I feel somewhat relaxed now and ready for the weekend! Thank goodness the working week is over!
Day 325 Friday 17th February 2012
Ah, this morning is a beauty of a morning….blue sky and a beautiful sunrise, just a shame I have to go to work and can't enjoy the sunshine upon my skin, hopefully tomorrow the day will be kind and will be sunny too.
Day 324 Thursday 16th February 2012
Reflect on the Day
Just took this shot on our way home from work, I'm actually writing this in the car. Something about seeing reflections in water….they instantly relax me. Perfect end to a long day in the office.
Day 323 Wednesday 15th February 2012
Same Place
I took this just a short time ago whilst enroute to work. It was taken in the same place as yesterday's post. Right now, it seems the best location for me to see/photograph sunrises. I hope maybe at the weekend that I will go to the local beach to capture the sunrise.
Day 321 Monday 13th February 2012
A Different World
This photo was taken as the day was coming to an end. The sky was rather surreal….what you see in this photo are layers of different clouds, mostly one massive cloud with a hole in it, where other smaller clouds appeared.
I felt rather insignificant and tiny whilst I looked up at this dramatic sky.

As of July 1, 2011, federal law (600.2 and 600.4) requires all accredited institutions to comply with the federal definition of the credit hour. For all CSU Degree Programs and courses bearing academic credit, the "credit hour" is defined as "the amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than:
1. 1 hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of 2 hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately 15 weeks for 1 semester or trimester hour of credit; or 10 to 12 weeks for 1 quarter hour of credit; or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or
2. At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph 1 of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours."
A credit hour is assumed to be a 50-minute period. In courses, in which "seat time" does not apply, a credit hour may be measured by an equivalent amount of work, as demonstrated by student achievement.

"Should be better revised" - by Osvaldo on 27-OCT-2010
Reviewer Rating:
Overall it is a good book. I wouldn't recommend it for programming beginners but to someone already with some programming knowledge because in many points something imprecise is written followed by the right explanation immediately after, creating some confusion to newbies to figure out and grasp the concept.
Besides that and the lack of exercises to pratice the subjects, it is a worth reading book. The Kerningham and Richie's original book on this topic is definitely the approach to take as a first read.

text: How does everyone feel about the change from Vs. to the NBC Sports Network and do you think it will help boost national interest in hockey? Personally, I've noticed pretty substantial increase in hockey fans in the past few years around where I live in central California. I just saw a commercial for some upcoming college hockey games and I thought that was pretty exciting for the game as a whole. I wonder if it has to do with more television coverage, or in the west coast's case, just a natural progression of interest since the Wayne Gretzky/LA Kings era? Does anyone have any statistics on this topic? Sorry if this has been touched on before.

Los Angeles Councilmember Dennis Zine's office has issued the following statement regarding his introduction of a resolution Friday in support of a federal assault weapons ban:
At today's meeting of the Los Angeles City Council, Councilman Dennis P. Zine introduced a Resolution urging the City of Los Angeles to support federal legislation that would reauthorize the Federal Assault Weapons Ban with the goal of reducing the availability of assault weapons in the United States.
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) was signed into law by President Clinton in 1994 and prohibited the sale of 19 types of semi-automatic military-style guns, including AK-47s, for a period of ten years. Without the approval of Congress and the President, the ban expired in 2004, allowing these weapons to return to the streets where they have been used as tools of mass murder capable of killing dozens of people in minutes without the need to reload.
It has been reported that California Senator Dianne Feinstein and other members of Congress have proposed reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapon ban for an additional ten years and to expand the definition of assault weapons.
"While I fully support the right of an individual to carry a gun for self-protection, there should be restrictions and limitations on the kinds of weapons we allow in our society, so today I am asking the City of Los Angeles to go on record in support of any federal legislation that bans assault weapons," said Councilman Dennis P. Zine, a former LAPD Sergeant and current Reserve Officer. "As a member of law enforcement, I see no reason for these types of weapons to be in the hands of either law-abiding citizens or criminals because of their high firepower and ability to penetrate body armor which puts everyone at risk. I firmly believe that we must do all that we can to prevent gun violence in this country."
Currently, California is one of a handful of states that has its own law banning assault weapons. SB 23, the 2000 California Assault Weapons Ban, bans the manufacture, sale, and possession of every weapon that fits the generic definition of assault weapons under the bill. SB 23 is stricter than the Federal AWB in that it lowers the threshold at which a weapon is considered an assault weapon. The California ban on assault weapons remains in place despite the lapse of the federal ban.
This Resolution was seconded by Council President Herb Wesson and was referred to the Rules, Elections, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. To see a copy of the resolution, click here.

Commissioner Ed Borden announced Wednesday that he will seek a third term on the Haddonfield Board of Commissioners.
Borden has been a practicing attorney for more than 25 years and is a former Camden County prosecutor.
"I believe that my experience as a lawyer and prosecutor has been a big plus for our public safety forces," Borden said. "It comes in handy almost daily in my work with our police."
He joins incumbent Commissioner Jeff Kasko and challengers Neal Rochford, a former commissioner, and Lee Albright as declared candidates for three, four-year terms. All three seats on the board are open concurrently every four years.
Incumbent Commissioner .
"We in borough government have to remember that we are in the service business and always strive to deliver the bread-and-butter items our taxpayers demand," Borden said in a statement. "Haddonfield deserves commissioners who embrace creative and innovative approaches to the challenges faced by local government. I believe that I bring that kind of perspective to the job, as well as practical knowledge and valuable experience, including eight years as a commissioner and director of public safety."
Borden said that his priorities will be keeping the overall property tax burden as low as possible through shared services arrangements with neighboring towns; supporting the downtown business district; exploring sale or privatization of the operation of the aging municipal water system; using the resources of borough government to empower Haddonfield's volunteer organizations; and concentrating on the bedrock services of police and fire protection, street repair, leaf collection and snow removal.
He is a senior partner with Earp Cohn, P.C., a Cherry Hill law firm. For five years, he served as Camden County prosecutor, the county's chief law enforcement officer. In that position, he had supervisory responsibility for the county's 37 municipal police departments.
Borden, a Democrat, said he opposes a countywide police department, which has been proposed by the Democrat-controlled Camden County Board of Freeholders.
"What we don't need," he said, "is to be part of any county police department. What we do need is to explore cooperative arrangements with nearby towns to share costs and thereby reduce expenses, particularly in senior management and administration."
Haddonfield elections are nonpartisan and candidate's party affiliation are not printed on the ballot.
Borden pledged that he will continue to accept no borough health benefits and to contribute 100 percent of his borough salary to Haddonfield-related nonprofits and community organizations.
Borden's civic service includes five years on the Haddonfield Board of Education. In both races for the school board, he received the highest vote total of all candidates, according to his news release. He served on the finance, curriculum, technology and policy committees, and chaired the latter two. He was instrumental in the board's strategic planning initiative.
In 2002, Borden was asked to chair the Camden Diocese Commission for the Protection of Children. The commission's report was one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching responses to the clergy abuse crisis. In recognition of his work, Borden was awarded the Bishop's Medal and the St. Thomas More Society Award. He is a member of Christ the King Parish.
Borden's wife, Barbara, is a special education teacher. Their daughters, Emily and Meg, are both HMHS graduates. Emily graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 2011 and Meg is in the nursing program at the University of Scranton.

A coastal flood advisory will remain in effect through 11 a.m. today, Feb. 27, as a storm surge and large swells are expected to cause flooding in Tiverton and Little Compton's most vulnerable areas.
The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service station out of Taunton, MA, stated a 1.5 - 2 foot surge is expected along south and southeast facing coasts during Wednesday's 8 a.m. high tide.
"A few vulnerable roads may briefly flood at the time of the morning high tide," states the advisory. "Minor erosion of exposed south and southeast facing shorelines may also occur."
NWA meteorologists expect a limited impact as some coastal areas remain vulnerable in the wake of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 and Blizzard Nemo on Feb. 9.
Rain is expected to continue on and off through Friday, with Wednesday bearing the highest precipitation.
