We present one of largest studies to date of combined near-infrared and submillimeter linear polarization data for a giant molecular cloud. The dust polarized emission data (at 250, 350 and 500 mum) were obtained using the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPo...
