...some other universities, however, the process toward permitting same-sex commitment ceremonies has been less complex. While Princeton and Emory recently grappled with the issue, Brown University chaplain Janet Cooper Nelson said that union ceremonies have taken place in Brown chapels for more than two decades, though no policy specific to them exists...

...with a 24-in. video monitor, a 3-D mouse and a set of stereoscopic goggles. Before the rover leaves the lander, its camera will scan the terrain and transmit what it sees to J.P.L., where software will combine the images into a three-dimensional vista. Donning the goggles, Cooper and other scientists will then scout the virtual riverbed. When they find a likely place for Sojourner to visit, they'll start up the car and, using the mouse, tell it where...
...going will be slow. Commands from Cooper's computer will take 11 minutes to travel from Pasadena to Mars; it will take another 11 minutes for the rover to acknowledge that it has received the instruction. To prevent Sojourner from blundering into a chasm or over a cliff, engineers designed it to move no faster than 1.3 ft. per minute. Onboard gyroscopes and lasers will help it feel for dangers the camera might have missed. If Sojourner spots an obstacle, it will try to avoid it or simply stop. "We'll give it a point...
