In case you were wondering, the "Moto" in "MotoGP" is short for "motorcycle," but we'd like to think that the M actually stands for BMW's M division. Why? Take a look at the photo above: BMW is bringing its sporty models back to this year's MotoGP series as pace/safety cars.

Que-boid, a cube-shaped NXT robot
Very nice!
Do not forget to visit Mark's web site which is a true blossom in the NXT web garden; a multitude of very interesting NXT (and other LEGO®) projects can be found there, alongside with detailed building instructions.

Very cool but does putting an NXT inside a PF contraption makes it an NXT Robot? i did not see a single port used on his NXT :(
- Apr 5, 2009, 8:59:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
If you read his webpage, you'll find that the NXT controls the PF via a Mindsensors IR link, which is not shown (along with cables) to make it easier to see what's going on. Much like Ogre, it's a fully functional robot under control of the NXT, but it's also fun to drive under remote control (and trust me, that's a lot easy to get a video of).

Thanks Brian for clarifying that for Bazmati.
The video that Matthias posted is of me controlling Queboid with the PF remotes so make capturing the video easy on myself. If you look on my site you'll see examples of other NXT robots that I built that use the PF motors for driving and the NRLink for control.
Queboid looked good, but did not perform as well as I had hoped - the tracks kept slipping from the drive sprockets, and the design had very limited ground clearance so would often get stuck on the floor. I'm redesigning it now to solve these issues.
As for the type of sprockets used; they came from the LEGO education pack of 100 track links.

At Tuesday night's regular meeting, the Port St. Joe City Commission once again turned their attention to a sign ordinance which has affected numerous businesses not currently in compliance.
After a motion was made to pass the ordinance, which would cause area signs to become more uniform in size, height and setback from city and state roads, Commissioner Bo Patterson seconded for discussion and expressed confusion as to why buildings larger than 20,000 square feet would be able to have larger signs than small businesses.
"We're telling small businesses they can't have a larger sign unless they increase their business," said Patterson. "That's discrimination in my book."
Patterson asked the commission for additional time to review the ordinance
Mayor Mel Magidson said that most businesses have not had an issue bringing their signs into compliance. He said that aside from David Costa, owner of the McDonald's off of Highway 98, he hadn't heard any other complains.
Costa's sign has been in violation for five years and at last month's meeting he received a six-month extension to bring the Golden Arches up to code.
"Let's get this down to something we can live with," said Patterson as he crumbled up the ordinance page from his agenda. "I can't live with this."
Commissioner Rex Buzzett, who joined the meeting by telephone, told Patterson that the group could look at any city ordinance and it wouldn't be agreed upon by everyone.
"Many business owners came into compliance in order to be good tax-paying citizens," said Buzzett. "People don't like change, but once it happens, they're glad it did."
Patterson rescinded his second while Commissioner Phil McCroan urged the group to pass the ordinance and deal with any variances on a case-by-case basis. Despite Patterson's protests, the ordinance was voted in.
"We've got a good ordinance," said Buzzett. "If everyone complies, we'll treat them all the same."
Insurance Refund
Tom Conley with the Florida League of Cities paid a visit to the commission to issue a refund on the city's insurance premium. He congratulated the commission for being six years hurricane-free and presented Magidson with a check for $40,818.
Cape San Blas Lighthouse
A professional Lampist will soon be visiting the Cape San Blas lighthouse to remove the large glass lenses and begin the process of relocation.
Lisa Curry, who with the assistance of BP funds is creating a documentary on the process, will be on-hand to capture video of the event. The lenses are expected to be removed within two weeks.
PDRB Members
The planning board is up for re-appointment and is currently without enough members to make a quorum. Seven candidates submitted letters of interest for the volunteer position with the majority of current members expressing an interest to return.
Magidson told commissioners that he didn't want to rush the decision since there weren't any pending decisions to be made, and would prefer to appoint the four needed members simultaneously in order to review the qualifications of all candidates.
When asked by a member of the audience what the qualifications for the PDRB board was, Magidson answered, "That you have your head screwed on straight."
Commissioner William Thursbay made a motion to accept three of the candidates, which excluded previous member Patti Blaylock, who had volunteered to continue serving.
After the motion passed, Buzzett made an additional motion to re-appoint Blaylock, which failed 3-2.
Agenda Policy
A new agenda policy requires that all discussion items be provided to city staff by 5 p.m. ET on the Thursday before meetings are held. Agendas can be amended to include time-sensitive or emergency materials if they are provided to staff by noon on the Monday before a regular meeting.
This policy prevents commissioners from voting on items that the public may not be familiar with.
"We represent people in this city," said Magidson. "They have a right to know what we're doing.
"This is to be sure we're serving those people who elected us."
Items not on the agenda can still be discussed if a successful motion is made by a commissioner at the beginning of a meeting.
BP funds for softball
After visiting the girls' softball fields, Commissioner Thursbay made a motion to dedicate BP funds toward a new batting cage and ice machine. According to Thursbay's estimates, a new cage would cost approximately $3,500 and the ice machine, $1,500.
The group recognized an influx of softball participants and decided to allow $5,000 to be used for the equipment. Any additional funds would be collected through fundraisers.

Fog is a cloud that is in contact with the ground. Stratus clouds are usually the only clouds that touch the ground. Fog differs from other clouds only in that fog touches the surface of the Earth. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges. Fog is distinct from mist only in its density. Fog is defined as cloud which reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist is that which reduces visibility to less than 2 km.
The foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Fog is frequent there as the Grand Banks is the meeting place of the cold Labrador Current from the north and the much warmer Gulf Stream from the south. The foggiest land areas in the world are Point Reyes, California, and Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, both with over 200 foggy days a year. Even in generally warmer southern Europe, thick fog and localized fog is often found in lowlands and valleys, like the lower part of Po Valley and the Tiber Valley, especially in late autumn and winter.
Fog forms when the difference between temperature and dewpoint is 5 °F (2.8 °C) or less.
Fog begins to form when water vapor (a colorless gas) condenses into tiny liquid water droplets in the air. Conversely, water vapor is formed by the evaporation of liquid water or by the sublimation of ice. Since water vapor is colorless, it is actually the small liquid water droplets that are condensed from it that make water suspended in the atmosphere visible in the form of fog or any other type of cloud.
Fog normally occurs at a relative humidity near 100%. This can be achieved by either adding moisture to the air or dropping the ambient air temperature. Fog can form at lower humidities, and fog can sometimes not form with relative humidity at 100%. A reading of 100% relative humidity means that the air can hold no additional moisture and the air will then become supersaturated if additional moisture is added.
Fog formation does require all of the elements that normal cloud formation requires with the most important being condensation nuclei. When the air is saturated, additional moisture tends to condense rather than staying in the air as vapor. Condensation nuclei must be present in the form of dust, aeresols, pollutants, etc. for the water to condense upon. When there are exceptional amounts of condensation nuclei present, especially hydroscopic (water seeking such as salt, see below) then the water vapor may condense below 100% relative humidity.
Fog can form suddenly, and can dissipate just as rapidly, depending what side of the dewpoint the temperature is on. This phenomenon is known as flash fog.
Another type of formation also common is associated with sea fog (also known as haar or fret). This is due to the peculiar effect of salt. Clouds of all types require minute hygroscopic particles upon which water vapor can condense. Over the ocean surface, the most common particles are salt from salt spray produced by breaking waves. Except in areas of storminess, the most common areas of breaking waves are located near coastlines, hence the greatest densities of airborne salt particles are there. Condensation on salt particles has been observed to occur at humidities as low as 70%, thus fog can occur even in relatively dry air in suitable locations such as the California coast. Typically, such lower humidity fog is preceded by a transparent mistiness along the coastline as condensation competes with evaporation, a phenomenon that is typically noticeable by beachgoers in the afternoon. Another recently-discovered source of condensation nuclei for coastal fog is kelp. Researchers have found that under stress (intense sunlight, strong evaporation, etc.), kelp release particles of iodine which in turn become nuclei for condensation of water vapor.
Fog occasionally produces precipitation in the form of drizzle or very light snow. Drizzle occurs when the humidity of fog attains 100% and the minute cloud droplets begin to coalesce into larger droplets. This can occur when the fog layer is lifted and cooled sufficiently, or when it is forcibly compressed from above. Drizzle becomes freezing drizzle when the temperature at the surface drops below the freezing point.
The thickness of fog is largely determined by the altitude of the inversion boundary, which in coastal or oceanic locales is also the top of the marine layer, above which the airmass is warmer and drier. The inversion boundary varies its altitude primarily in response to the weight of the air above it which is measured in terms of atmospheric pressure. The marine layer and any fogbank it may contain will be "squashed" when the pressure is high, and conversely, may expand upwards when the pressure above it is lowering.
Fog reduces visibility and thus contributes to accidents, particularly with modes of transportation. Ships, trains, cars and planes cannot see each other and collide. Notable examples of accidents due to fog include the July 28, 1945 crash of a B-25 Mitchell into the Empire State Building, and the July 25, 1956 collision of the ocean liners the and . Although most sea vessels can penetrate fog using radar, road vehicles have to travel slowly and use low-beam headlights. Localised fog is especially dangerous, as drivers can be caught by surprise. On busy highways, multiple-vehicle collisions have resulted -- such as Interstate 4's 70-vehicle pileup that occurred on January 9th, 2008.
In aviation, fog normally prevents aircraft from taking off or landing at airports other than those equipped with an Instrument Landing System. Fog can be especially deceptive for light aircraft because often they will overfly the airfield to assess the surface conditions before landing. When the pilot is overhead the field looking straight down, he will usually only be looking through about 100 or 200 meters of fog and if it is thin enough, the pilot will be able to see the runway with a minimal amount of interference. However, when the pilot lines up for the final approach phase, instead of looking vertically through the fog, he is now looking through it at an angle, which increases the amount of haze he has to see through, often completely obscuring the runway. This presents a hazard because the pilot may have developed a mindset whereby the visibility is (or soon will be) suitable to land when it is not. The worst accident in aviation history occurred in the fog when 2 Boeing 747s collided in 1977 in Tenerife. One 747 had clearance to taxi down a foggy runway and the other could not see any distance down the runway when the captain decided to take off without proper clearance.
At airports, some attempts have been made to develop methods (such as using heating or spraying salt particles) to aid fog dispersal. These methods enjoy some success at temperatures below freezing.
Radiation fog is formed by the cooling of land after sunset by thermal radiation in calm conditions with clear sky. The cool ground produces condensation in the nearby air by heat conduction. In perfect calm the fog layer can be less than a meter deep but turbulence can promote a thicker layer. Radiation fogs occur at night, and usually do not last long after sunrise. Radiation fog is common in autumn, and early winter. Examples of this phenomenon include the Tule fog.
Ground fog is fog that obscures less than 60% of the sky and does not extend to the base of any overhead clouds. However, the term is sometimes used to refer to radiation fog.
Advection fog occurs when moist air passes over a cool surface by advection (wind) and is cooled. It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack. It's most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the California coast. The advection of fog along the California coastline is propelled onto land by one of several processes. A cold front can push the marine layer coastward, an occurrence most typical in the spring or late fall. During the summer months, a low pressure trough produced by intense heating inland creates a strong pressure gradient, drawing in the dense marine layer. Also during the summer, strong high pressure aloft over the desert southwest, usually in connection with the summer monsoon, produces a south to southeasterly flow which can drive the offshore marine layer up the coastline; a phenomenon known as a "southerly surge", typically following a coastal heat spell. However, if the monsoonal flow is sufficiently turbulent, it might instead break up the marine layer and any fog it may contain. Moderate turbulence will typically transform a fog bank, lifting it and breaking it up into shallow convective clouds called stratocumulus.
Steam fog, also called evaporation fog, is the most localized form and is created by cold air passing over much warmer water or moist land. It often causes freezing fog, or sometimes hoar frost.
Precipitation fog (or frontal fog) forms as precipitation falls into drier air below the cloud, the liquid droplets evaporate into water vapor. The water vapor cools and at the dewpoint it condenses and fog forms.
Upslope fog forms when winds blow air up a slope (called orographic lift), adiabatically cooling it as it rises, and causing the moisture in it to condense. This often causes freezing fog on mountaintops, where the cloud ceiling would not otherwise be low enough.
Valley fog forms in mountain valleys, often during winter. It is the result of a temperature inversion caused by heavier cold air settling into a valley, with warmer air passing over the mountains above. It is essentially radiation fog confined by local topography, and can last for several days in calm conditions. In California's Central Valley, Valley fog is often referred to as Tule fog.
Ice fog is any kind of fog where the droplets have frozen into extremely tiny crystals of ice in midair. Generally this requires temperatures at or below −35 °C (−30 °F), making it common only in and near the Arctic and Antarctic regions. It is most often seen in urban areas where it is created by the freezing of water vapor present in automobile exhaust and combustion -products from heating and power generation. Urban ice fog can become extremely dense and will persist day and night until the temperature rises. Extremely small amounts of ice fog falling from the sky form a type of precipitation called ice crystals, often reported in Barrow, Alaska. Ice fog often leads to the visual phenomenon of light pillars.
Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountain tops which are exposed to low clouds. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the "frostless" or "frost-free" type. In some areas such as in the State of Oregon, the term "freezing fog" refers to fog where water vapor is super-cooled filling the air with small ice crystals similar to very light snow. It seems to make the fog "tangible", as if one could "grab a handful".
Artificial fog is artificially generated fog that is usually created by vaporizing a water and glycol-based or glycerine-based fluid. The fluid is injected into a heated block, and evaporates quickly. The resulting pressure forces the vapor out of the exit. Upon coming into contact with cool outside air the vapor disappears.
Garua fog is a type of fog which happens to occur by the coast of Chile and Peru. The normal fog produced by the sea travels inland, but suddenly meets an area of hot air. This causes the water particles of fog to shrink by evaporation, producing a transparent mist. Garua fog is nearly invisible, yet it still forces drivers to use windshield wipers.
Hail fog sometimes occurs in the vicinity of significant hail accumulations due to decreased temperature and increased moisture leading to saturation in a very shallow layer near the surface. It most often occurs when there is a warm, humid layer atop the hail and when wind is light. This ground fog tends to be localized but can be extremely dense and abrupt. It may form shortly after the hail falls; when the hail has had time to cool the air and as it absorbs heat when melting and evaporating.
Fog is known to disappear with the the air slowly moving it away from the water front and eventually vanishing back into the air.

EAST DUBUQUE, Illinois - The East Dubuque man accused of murdering his stepdaughter pleaded guilty Thursday to six charges, including three counts of first-degree murder.
Terry Abbas, 41, was charged with murdering his stepdaughter, Chyenne Kircher. Abbas had also been charged with two counts of sexual abuse and concealment of homicidal death.
In Jo Daviess County court Thursday, Abbas admitted that he killed and sexually abused Chyenne Kircher, burying her body behind a home he lived in with Chyenne, Chyenne's mother and brother.
Chyenne, 14, disappeared in October 2011, and her case was originally treated as a missing persons case. At the time, officials said Chyenne had left a note indicating she was running away from home.
The case was re-evaluated in March 2013 at the request of East Dubuque Police Chief Steve O'Connell. Chyenne's body was found behind her family home in September following Abbas' arrest.
Law enforcement officials said that Abbas was arrested last month as part of their investigation into Chyenne's disappearance. Abbas was under investigation by a Critical Incident Response Team from the state of Illinois, which began its investigation in March.
Abbas will be sentenced on December 6. He faces life in prison without parole.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1859-1930, Novelist. Born in Edinburgh, son of an unsuccessful architect, he attended the Jesuit Stonyhurst College and studied medicine at Edinburgh University. He practiced briefly in Plymouth and then at Southsea (1882-1890), where a lack of patients gave him the time to write. Doyle's resentment at being identified solely as the creator of Sherlock Holmes was excessive but understandable. Just as his life reflected the many interests of the Edwardian gentleman - particularly sports and military affairs - so his career established him as a versatile and hardworking writer. He also turned his hand to science fiction in The Lost World (1912), The Poison Belt (1913), The Land of Mist(1926). The last of these reflects the belief in supernaturalism which preoccupied much of his later life.

Wilson College was founded in 1869 as a college for women, one of the first in the United States. The founders were the Rev. Tryon Edwards and the Rev. James Wightman. The Pennsylvania Legislature granted the original charter on March 24, 1869. Sarah Wilson, for whom the College is named, provided the initial gift for the establishment of the College. She was the first living woman in the United States to endow a college for women.
The purpose of the college was described as an effort to provide for the education of young women in literature, science, and the arts. The Oct. 19, 1870, edition of the Franklin Repository stated that the "effort will not be to cram the minds of pupils with facts, but to spend the time in development of thought so that the pupils will learn to think for themselves, and thus become leaders, instead of followers, in society."
Wilson College was founded in 1869 as a college for women, one of the first in the United States. The founders were the Rev. Tryon Edwards and the Rev. James W. Wightman, pastors of Presbyterian churches in nearby Hagerstown, Md., and Greencastle, Pa. They submitted plans to the Presbytery of Carlisle and received its endorsement in April 1868. The Pennsylvania Legislature granted the original charter on March 24, 1869. Miss Sarah Wilson (1795-1871), a resident of nearby St. Thomas, provided two generous donations for the establishment of the new institution. Although Wilson herself had no formal education, she recognized the importance of education for future generations of women. In gratitude for Wilson's gifts, the Trustees voted to name the new institution in her honor. Instruction at the College began on Oct. 12, 1870, after the Trustees had secured the purchase of property formerly owned by Col. A.K. McClure, a close friend and adviser of President Abraham Lincoln.
Since its inception, the College has fostered rigorous intellectual pursuits. Like other women's colleges, Wilson has long provided opportunities for women to study and teach subjects once thought beyond women's capabilities, such as chemistry, biology, mathematics and classical languages. President Anna J. McKeag, Wilson's first woman president (1911-15), strengthened the College's academic standards. The College has continued to build upon this foundation by increasing the number and kind of course offerings, improving library resources and bringing distinguished visitors and lecturers to campus. A measure of the College's intellectual strength is the establishment in 1950 of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious academic honor society.
Since 1931, the College has recognized outstanding contributions to society by awarding honorary degrees. Recipients have included U.S. Rep. Margaret Chase Smith, Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, anthropologist Margaret Mead, musician Lili Krause, author and activist Rita Mae Brown, and news anchor Walter Cronkite.
Throughout its long history, Wilson has responded to changing times. In 1982, the College was one of the first in the region to begin offering a continuing studies program to meet the needs of a growing population of adults seeking a post-secondary education. In 1996, the College was one of the first in the nation to offer on-campus, residential education for single mothers with children. Since the program began, it has won national attention and Wilson has become the National Center for Single Mothers in Higher Education. Today, Wilson admits men and women of all ages to enroll in its bachelor's and associate degree programs, as well as post-baccalaureate and graduate programs. To make a Wilson education available to adults, many courses are offered not only during the day, but in the evening, in summer and January Term, and at convenient off-campus sites.
Traditions are an important part of every student's Wilson experience. From Bigs and Littles to Sophomore Buddies, traditions bring our students together and make them part of a supportive, connected community.
The dinner is held during the week of fall orientation for all new Wilson students. Hosted by the Office of Student Development, the dinner includes faculty, staff and alumnae/i joining our new students for a meal and sharing stories about the College, their experiences, and new students' expectations. Started in 2009, the annual event was suggested by students as a way to meet people from the campus community.
Convocation brings the whole college community together to officially open and celebrate a new academic semester. It includes a procession of faculty and seniors in full regalia, as well as speeches by the president, guests and students.
Juniors select incoming freshmen to mentor throughout their years at Wilson, forming lasting friendships.
Candle Club, an organization whose membership is secret, takes responsibility for keeping student morale high on campus. New members are selected by outgoing Candle Club members and are inducted in a secret ceremony. Current members become known at graduation
Each class is assigned a color based on their year of graduation. Students graduating in odd years are ODD and their class colors are black and red. Students graduating in even years are EVEN and their class colors are blue and green. Colors are represented in the dinks (hats) that freshmen receive during Sarah Wilson week, as well as class banners.
On the eve of graduation, the sophomore class builds a daisy chain to present to the graduating class on commencement morning. The chain is placed into the Conococheague Creek and is carried on the current, symbolizing good wishes for the graduates in their life journey beyond college.
Traditionally held on the first nice day of spring, Dean's Day occurs when the dean of the College rings the bell located on the roof of Edgar Hall to cancel classes for the day, allowing students to relax enjoy the day outside after winter's end.
All new students recite and sign the Honor Principle at opening onvocation. Student experiences, both in and out of the classroom, are influenced by the Wilson Honor Principle, which fosters qualities of personal responsibility and integrity.
Sarah Wilson Week occurs at the beginning of the fall semester, when freshmen receive their class colors and are recognized by current students as a Wilson class. The freshmen also receive their Wilson hats (dinks) in the class colors from their Bigs (the junior class), sing at the college president's house, participate in color wars (Odds vs. Evens), and receive clues that reveal their identity of their sophomore buddies.
An outdoor picnic to celebrate graduation with food prepared by professors and music provided by a disc jockey.
Members of the sophomore class work with freshmen to ease the adjustment to college life. They also participate together in activities during Sarah Wilson Week.
At the end of the spring semester, seniors decorate the offices of professors and barricade classroom buildings on campus. The other classes also participate by decorating other areas of campus. Faculty members are willing participants in this yearly event.
A friendly competition between odd and even classes where students sing and shout traditional chants toward one another.
A semi-formal dinner dance attended by students and guests, as well as faculty and staff. The day includes the presentation of the May Court and student fundraising booths.
The week before Thanksgiving, Wilson hosts a college-wide Thanksgiving dinner. Each table receives and carves its own turkey and traditional side dishes are served family-style.
A formal dinner and dance held in the fall. Traditionally, seniors dress in all white and the dinner menu includes mainly foods and desserts that are white in color. Guests are invited as well.

A Veteran's Sacrifice: Story of Michael Daly
- Login to add to Favorites
- 3 Comments
Excerpt from Yankee Magazine May 1983
On Memorial Day in Fairfield, Connecticut, when the parade and the speeches are over, Michael Daly drives along Long Island Sound and later heads north to towns where nobody knows him, and he does not come home until dark. "He really mourns," his wife Maggie says. "Everybody else is having picnics, but he's alone, mourning."
There are not many people left in Fairfield who remember when Michael came home in the rain clutching his Medal of Honor. It was the 24th of August in 1945. There was a huge parade, and he sat beside his father, Colonel Paul Daly, in an open roadster. Both men had been badly wounded, the Colonel by shrapnel that nearly severed his sciatic nerve, Michael by a bullet in the face. A few weeks later — on Michael's 21st birthday — the Colonel got his 12-year-old son, Gilroy, to drive him to every bar in town. At each stop he put a roll of money on the counter and shouted, "This is on Michael!"
Paul Daly was born on the Fourth of July, 1891, in Harlem when it was still country and you needed a coach and four to go to market. He was a magnificent horseman with the same unbridled spirit as the horses he sought to tame. No school held him long. He was kicked out of them all, including West Point. But in World War I, in the 18th Infantry of the First Infantry Division, he found his genius for combat. Later one general would write a book about the First Division and inscribe it "To Paul Daly, the bravest man I have ever known."
On July 18, 1918, near Soissons, France, with his battalion surrounded, he successfully assaulted the Chateau of Buzancy, a German stronghold, and boldly demanded its surrender. "I am on the heights of Buzancy with 90 men and one officer." the message said. "I have just captured 210 officers and men of the enemy."
He came home a hero with the Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, and three wounds. He would practice law. but his heart lay elsewhere. He referred clients to other lawyers, then, duty done, would skip off to the track. He married beautiful, red-headed Madelaine Mulqueen. Their first-born was a daughter named Madelaine; their second, a son who died in infancy. On September 15, 1924, Michael was born. Paul Daly adored him, but his dignity rarely allowed him to show it. Yet he shared with Michael his great love — the breeding of thoroughbreds for stamina, heart, and courage.
Michael grew up in the Southport section of Fairfield in a country house at the end of a long pebbled drive. Folks in town called it "Daly's Chateau." "We're not rich, but we're privileged," his father said. The Dalys were Fairfield's storybook family, set apart in spite of themselves.
"We were always late to church," Michael says. "My father led us down the aisle. and we always sat in the front pew. and you could see the heads turn, hear the whispers, 'It's the Major.' I flushed with embarrassment."

Report by Kiki Georgiou on 28 February 2013.
Will someone ask Gareth Pugh to make the wardrobe for a post-apocalyptic film taking place sometime in the near future/on a planet far far away or our own, post-big-event-we-shall-not-name, please? Not that there was anything remotely costumey in what Pugh showed this afternoon – on the contrary, lift the long jackets, folded gilets or leather coats off the ball gown skirts and you have some perfectly modern, achingly cool outerwear.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Policy for Consensual Relations: Staff
Emerson College is committed to maintaining an environment where the education of students is of the greatest importance. Dating, romantic, or sexual relationships between College employees and students, even if consensual, can negatively affect the educational environment for students. Power differentials, real or perceived, can diminish a student's ability to give meaningful consent to such a relationship. An employee's ability to provide College services without partiality is suspect when the employee and the student have a dating, romantic, or sexual relationship. Even when the employee and student act with integrity, others may perceive bias, partiality, or influence. Furthermore, the dissolution of these relationships can create discord and significantly impair the normal operations of the College.
For these reasons, dating, romantic, or sexual relationships between students and College employees, including relationships that occur when College is not in session or students are on leave, are prohibited.
On occasion, an employee will have a dating, romantic, or sexual relationship, or a marriage, with an individual who then becomes a student, or an individual with a pre-existing relationship with a student will become an employee. It is the obligation of the employee to disclose that relationship or marriage to the Associate Vice President for Human Resources. It is the obligation of the Associate Vice President, in consultation with appropriate academic or administrative personnel, to take the steps that he or she deems necessary to insure that the educational experience of the student, and other students in the College, is not materially affected by the dating, romantic, sexual, or marital relationship. Since individual cases may vary, the Associate Vice President has discretion to consider specific circumstances—the nature of the relationship, the specifics of the student's academic program, the employee's duties, and constraints on the College—in fashioning these steps. The steps can range from no action, to the recusal of the employee from matters involving the student, to changes in the employee's duties.
Employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Complaints of violations of this policy should be made to the Associate Vice President for Human Resources.
