In the initial stages o negotia-tions, the University proposed anmm d at r as mp yhealth care contributions rom 10to 13 percent o the premium anda wage increase o 1.75 percentper year. Te union counter-pro-posed that health care costs notincrease rom their current rateand that wages increase 4 percentp r y ar.

We took a pretty big hit lastt m , sh sa d. W d just k tstay at 10 percent and have ourwage increases be air and modest

t p that.

Because the Universi ty switched to sel -insurance in2008, health care costs are notixed by insurance providers,

Karen Davis, vice president orhuman resources, told Te HeraldSept. 19. Instead, the University hires consultants to analyze theemployee population and estimatests r th y ar, sh sa d.

o calculate the cost or an in-dividual employee, the University d d s ts st mat d sts by thnumber o employees covered andmultiplies this result by a percent-age that varies by income and po-sition at the University, McAninchsa d.

Te play was written in 1969,a t m uph a a a d tra s t th M dd East. It ws th

predicament o the downtroddenpeople o an ambiguous MiddleEastern city whose ruler dotes overh s p t pha t, a w g t t g

T s s th rst Arab p ay tbe staged at PW and one o the ewatt mpts t p r M dd East-r th at r at Br w , L b r sa d.

Leber approached Ru a withthe project at the beginning o thesummer and then translated thew rk r th urs a m th.When rehearsals started in the all,h w rk d as stag ma ag r a dwas on hand to help actors withpronunciation and make changesto the translation, depending onthe input o the cast and crew,L b r sa d.

Wa us r g a y wr t thplay in very ormal, archaic lan-guage, said Leber, but wanted tobe sure the play was always ac-cessible to audiences no matterwhere it was produced. Leber kept

this in mind when he translated itand made the language more col-qu a a d mpr h s b r a

m d r Am r a aud .I have an original translation,

Ru a said, but it was not nearly as strong as the script were work-g w th.

Ru a also said that Wannouswas concerned with keeping theaudience engaged to capturethe eel o the original stagings,the PW actors interact with theaud , tr at g th m as w villagers in some scenes or intimi-dat g th m as guards wh th y ar a gat g th pa a .

Its very meta-theatrical, Ru a

said. Te whole room is the stage.Te actors slip seamlessly romthe stage into the audience be-cause weve really tried to exploreth mp t atur th aud -ence and what it means to be abysta d r.

Te set was very minimalist.Audience members were seatedon benches and aced the smallstage, which was empty save ortwo boxes, a screen and the actors.Ru a sa d h h s su h a s mps t b aus t a ws th a t rs tswitch locations easily and createsa s s amb gu ty.

Te play was originally writ-t r 20 t 30 a t rs, wh th sproduction only has 10, Ru a said.

T ugh Ru a ut th ast, thactors still managed to portray a convincing mob. Tey workedtogether as a cohesive unit, ac-curately expressing the con usionand ear o a group o citizens op-pr ss d by a tyra a ru r.

As climate change a ects many animals habitats, conservationists,environmentalists and scientistsare becoming increasingly con-r d ab ut th r ab ty t sur-

vive environmental disruptions.In a yearlong study that began ar y 200 , D Sa , ass sta t

pro essor o biology, ound unex-pected obstacles to the migrationpaths 15 amphibian species arelikely to take as climate changew rs s.

Sax conducted the researchwith Regan Early, now a post-d t ra w at th U rs ty o Evora in Portugal. Teir article,Analysis o climate paths reveals

potential limitations on speciesrange shi s, states that climatechange will orce many speciesto seek out new homes as theiroriginal environments becomeincreasingly unsuitable to theirsur a .

o study these organisms abil-ity to make the transition, Sax andEarly constructed a climate pathor each species o amphibians.

Or g a y, Sa a d Ear y -pected to nd that cities and largeareas o human impact on thelandscape would stop species romsh g th r ra g s, but dur gth r t a r s ar h, th y b galooking more closely at natural

gaps as a major obstruction tothese climate paths, Early said.T s gaps ar ar as matinstability that a species is pro- j t d t tra thr ugh.

Once we discovered this e -ect, we realized that it was somp rta t b aus t was s u -

Instead o getting steadily warm r, mat m ght g t a wdegrees warmer and then one de-gree cooler. Because it is alwaysgetting warmer and cooler, speciesw m t th ar as wh tgets warmer, but then they willd sapp ar r m that ar a wh tg ts r aga . S ts k tak-ing two steps orward but one stepba k, Ear y sa d.

Sa a d Ear y a s u d thatboth a species persistence andits dispersal-ability positively

correlated with its capacity tomigrate success ully down itsclimate path. According to thearticle, persistence is a speciescapacity to withstand short-termun avorable climate conditions.Dispersal-ability is the distance anorganism can travel rom its niche.

T s s th rst t m that thmp rta p rs st u d r

short-term un avorable climateconditions has been quanti ed,according to the article. Due tothe lack o existing in ormation inth s ar a, m r r s ar h must bd t u d rsta d ar us sp -

consider their research a precursorto possible uture areas o study related to climatic gaps, persis-t a d d sp rsa ab t s.

W ha th t h gy wto be able to map the climate pathsthat species will move along romwhere they live now to where they can live in the uture. So weresugg st g that p p sh u d dthis a lot more widely and startto become much more aware o the actual processes that will helpsp s m r t, Ear y sa d.

Te study also has many impli-

at s r a ma s r at -ists. Currently, habitat corridors which are set up to ensure that theland between two di erent nichesis traversable or migrating species ar am g th m st mmmethods o helping animals moverom one environment to another.

But Sax said he believes climategaps w r du th t ss hab tat rr d rs.

I th k what ur w rk sh wsis that (habitat corridors) wontw rk w r as ma y sp s aswas originally thought. So its notgoing to be as power ul as a strat-egy as people had hoped, Sax said.

One alternative that Sax andEarly considered is the heavily debated managed relocation op-

tion, where humans transport spe-cies rom one location to another.

Tere is concern that managedr at may tr but t thgr wth as sp s, Ear y said. Despite this, Sax said he seesit as a viable option or the uture.

O the $30 billion promised to de- veloping nations by developed na-tions to combat climate change at the2009 United Nations Climate ChangeCon erence in Copenhagen, only $ b has d t y b g ,according to research compiled ora September report on countriestransparency levels in committingth u ds.

Developed nations have reportedth $ b , but th r s way tass ss h w mu h m y th y haactually given, said David Ciplet GS,who co-authored the report withimmons Roberts, director o the

A more transparent system wouldallow developed countries to see thatth rs ar a s m t g th r pr m-ises, reassure tax-payers that govern-ments are not wasting money andallow researchers to measure whate ect, i any, these e orts have onmbat g mat ha g .

According to the CopenhagenAccord, developed nations have until20 2 t u th r mm tm t tdeveloping nations. Looking back atpast international aid agreements,theres a history o these brokenpr m s s, R b rts sa d.

Still, the extent and source o the volcanism was in question. woideas were proposed. Te rst sug-gested the plains were producedlike the islands o Hawaii by scat-tered bursts o volcanic activity. Teother proposed a massive eruption,producing huge fows o lava likethose created by the 1980 eruptiono Mount St. Helens in Washington.

Te MESSENGER images re- vealed that the concentration o craters ormed by debris impacts mu h w r th p a s m-pared to the rest o the planet. Tisobservation pointed to the secondhypothesis great lava fows lled th rat rs, a g just a r ky

Some o these craters were more

Te volume o lava was so greatthat it also covered the ssures romwhich it poured, which is why thereare ew volcanic eatures visibleon the plains. Its just like whena bathtub is ull, Head said. Inpr p , y u a t s th dra .

URI is probably the most popu-lar school out o East ProvidenceHigh, where I went, so its alwaysa big game or bragging rights be-tween me and my riends, Lovettsa d.

Estes said he hopes the nightgame will set a precedent or the

uture o the rivalry. I hope thatthis will be the tradition, havingthe lights down at each stadium,he said. Were anticipating an over-f w Pr d th s Saturday.

Tis game will also mark thehome opener or the Bears 2011ampa g .
