4 10 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 9, 2002 Big 12 powers meet in Red River showdown NATION Continued from Page 8 No. 2 OKLAHOMA AT No. 3 TEXAS, 3:30 P.M.: Last week saw a "Twilight Zone"-like scenario unfold in the Big 12, with Oklahoma and Texas nearly falling to Missouri and Oklahoma State, respectively. The Sooners and Longhorns man- aged to escape with wins, and any money says that both teams were looking ahead to this week's tremendously important Red River Shootout in Dallas. The Texas defense comes into this game as one of the top-rated units in the country. This, com- bined with a mediocre Oklahoma offense, seem- ingly adds up to a Texas win. But, the Longhorns always seem to struggle in big games like this, and quarterback Chris Simms will need to step up to change the trend. Given his past performance in such situations, this -is not likely to happen. Oklahoma quarter- back Nate Hybl (who has yet to throw an inter- ception this season) will instead take the initiative and lead his Sooners to victory. Unfor- tunately, this game will not be seen on television locally because of the Michigan-Penn State game. Saturday will definitely be a good time to befriend that weird guy next door who owns a satellite dish, because this one promises to be a dandy. Oklahoma 20, Texas 17 No. 6 GEORGIA vs. No. 10 TENNESSEE, 3:30 P.M., CBS: Both the Bulldogs and Volunteers are coming off very close calls last week. Georgia proved its resolve after it blew a 12 point lead at Alabama and then came back-to win with a last- minute field goal. Tennessee, on the other hand, C decided it would be fun to play six overtimes against Arkansas, and finally prevailed 41-38 in a game that just ended this morning. Tennessee comes in boasting talent at wide receiver in standout Kelley Washington and a solid quarter- back in Casey Clausen. Similarly, Georgia has a good leader in signal-caller David Greene and two top receivers in Fred Gibson and Terrence Edwards. The outcome of this game will ulti- mately hinge on the performance of Bulldogs running back Musa Smith. If he has a big game like he did last week (when he ran for 126 yards and a touchdown), then Georgia can pull this one off against a tough Tennessee squad. Look for Smith to keep his momentum going and help the 'Dawgs pull out a close one in Athens. Georgia 24, Tennessee 21 No. 18 LoUISIANA STATE AT No. 16 FLORIDA, 7:45 P.M., ESPN: The Gators are angry, and for good reason: This year marks their quickest two- defeat season in 10 years, and new coach Ron Zook is seeing former Florida "ball coach" Steve Spurrier and his orange visor in his nightmares. To make matters worse, the team is out of the national championship race for good after its loss to Ole Miss last Saturday, in which quarterback Rex Grossman threw four interceptions. Louisiana State comes to The Swamp boasting a 4-1 record, but the Gators will take their anger out on the Tigers and prevail in a shootout. Florida 34, LSU 30 AP PHOTO Texas's Chris Simms has led the Longhorns to a No. 3 ranking thus far, but faces his biggest challenge yet with No. 2 Oklahoma coming to town. AP PHOTO Rex Grossman and his Florida teammates will be desperate for a win when they host LSU on Saturday. The Gators are off to their worst start in 10 years, and Steve Spurrier is nowhere to be found.

'M' pumped for State Pride Series By Albert Kim Daily Sports Writer Naming a rivalry is risky, unless peo- ple know that it will be a good match each and every year. In the case of vol- leyball's State Pride Series, it's a pretty safe bet. Tonight, the Michigan volleyball team will battle No. 18 Michigan State at Cliff Keen Arena for a claim to vol- leyball supremacy in the state, at least until Michigan visits East Lansing October 30. Both Michigan and Michigan State come into tonight's game with identical 3-1 Big Ten records. Not only that, but all three wins for both teams also came against Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana, and both lost to No. 6 Minnesota. The two teams' styles of play are very simi- lar also. "We're both very balanced, and play a defensive and transition style," Michi- gan coach Mark Rosen said. "They're a little bit bigger than we are, but we're a little faster than they are." The Spartans are looking to avenge last year's early season loss in Ann Arbor. Led by hitter Sara Villwock and a balanced, potent attack, the Spartans will present a challenge to Michigan's defense. "We're going to have to control the ball, and run our offense well," Rosen said. "Defensively they will take it to us if we don't do that" It won't be anything the Wolverines haven't seen already, though. Michigan has already faced two ranked Big Ten teams in Minnesota and Ohio State, and is off to its best Big Ten start in years. The Wolverines' sweep of the 16th- ranked Buckeyes last week gives them momentum coming into tonight. The start hasn't been the result of doing any- thing different. One thing that may favor Michigan tonight is the luxury of having five returning starters, including the Wolverines' all time blocks leader Katrina Lehman. In addition, the lone new starter, setter Lisa Gamalski, has grown quickly into her role, and is ranked 23rd in the nation in assists per game. As long as Michigan can keep SpaRTs BRIEFS CLIFF KEEN ARENA Who: Michigan (3-1 Big Ten, 9-5 overall) vs. Michigan State (3-1, 11-3) When: 7 p.m. Latest: This is the first of two matches in the in the annual State Pride Series. Michigan is look- ing for its first victory in three years in the event. winning against top-25 opponents, the Wolverines will have a good shot at breaking into the rankings. This week will prove crucial to Michi- gan's chances. With a logjam near the top of the Big Ten standings going into this week, Michigan could separate itself from the rest of the pack with wins against the Spartans, and Penn State on Friday. It's for state pride tonight, but it's also for sole possession of third place in the Big Ten, and that's what matters to the Wolverines. "There's always extra motivation playing against top rivals," Rosen said. "But we compete to win the conference." 4 ANN ARBOR REALTY LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION Central Campus Efficiencies, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apts. Starting at $575/mo. Includes some utilities.

(AP) - Col- orado's football team was placed on two years' probation by the NCAA yester- day for recruiting violations, most of which occurred under former coach Rick Neuheisel.

Neuheisel, now head coach at Wash- ington, was barred from off-campus recruiting for the Huskies until May 31. In Seattle, Washington athletics spokesman Jim Daves had no immedi- ate comment, but said the Huskies planned to issue a statement. Colorado was not banned from tele- vision or bowl appearances but must reduce the number of new scholarships it offers from 25 to 20 in either the 2003-04 or 2004-05 academic year. NCAA institutions are allowed 56 expense-paid campus visits by recruits each academic year, but Colorado vol- untarily reduced its number to 51 this year and will be limited to 51 next year. Terrell breaks foot, might need surgery LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - The Chicago Bears, already struck by injuries to key players, have two more - left guard Rex Tucker is out for the season with a broken leg and former Michigan wide receiver David Terrell has a broken right foot that might need surgery. Terrell, the Bears' top draft pick in 2001, hurt his foot late in the fourth quarter of Monday night's 34-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He had a stress fracture in that same foot his last season at Michigan, but never missed a game or a practice. "We don't know what will happen there right now," Jauron said yesterday. "Our trainer and the doctors have to talk about that some more to see what needs to be done and what that will mean to us and to David this year." Terrell has only nine catches this season, but three of those were for touchdowns. Contraceptive Injection 3irtk con-~trol you thinrk a~outt just L4- x a year medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension DEPO-PROVERA* Contraceptive injection (medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension, USP) This product is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against HIV Infection (AIDS) and other sexuaHy transmitted diseases. What Is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buttock or upper arm once every 3 months (13 weeks). To continue your contraceptive protection, you must return for your next injection promptly at the end of 3 months (13 weeks). DEPO-PROVERA contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a chemical similar to (but not the same as) the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced by your ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. DEPO-PROVERA acts by preventin your egg cells from ripening.Ifan egg is not released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle, it cannot become fertilized by sperm and result in pregnancy DEPO-PROVERA also causes changes in the lining of your uterus that make it less likely or pregnancy to occur: How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? The efficacy of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection depends on following the recommended dosage schedule exactly (see "How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?"). To make sure you are not pregnant when you first get DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, your first injection must be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period; ONLY within the first 5 days after childbirth if not breast-feeding; and, if exclusively breast-feeding. ONLY at the sixth week after childbirth. It is a on rm in ectable contraceptive when administered at 3-month (13-week) intervals. DEPO-PROVEPA Contraceptive Injection is over 99% effective, making it one of the most reliable methods of birth control available. his means that the average annual pregnancy rate is less than one for every I00 women who use DEPO-PROVEPA The effectiveness of most contraceptive methods depends in part on how reliably each woman uses the method. The effectiveness of DEPO-PROVEPA depends only on the patient returning every 3 months (O3 weeks)for her next injection. Your health-care provider will help you compare DEPO-PROVEPA with other contraceptive methods and give you the information you need in order to decide which contraceptive method is the nght choice for you. The following table shows the percent of women who got pregnant while using different kinds of contraceptive methods. It gives both the lowest expected rate of pregnancy (the rate expected in women who use each method exactly as it should be used andthe typical rate of pregnancy (which includes women who became pregnant because they orgot to use their birth control or because they did not follow the directions exactly). Percent of Women Experiencing an Accidental Pregnancy in the First Year of Continuous Use if you have had cancer of the breast "if you have had a stroke . if you have or have had blood clots (phlebitis) in your legs " if you have problems with your liver or liver disease " if you are allergic to DEPO-PROVERA (medroxyprogesterone acetate or any of its other ingredients). What other things should I consider before using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? You will have a physical examination before your doctor rescribes DEPO-PROVERA It is important to tell your health-care provider if you have any ofthe following: "a family history of breast cancer - an abnormal mammogram (breast x-ray), fibrocystic breast disease, breast nodules or lumps, or bleeding from your nipples " kidney disease " irregular or scanty menstrual periods " high blood pressure Smigraine headaches "asthma epilepsy (convulsions or seizures) diabetes or a family history of diabetes "a history of depression if you are takin anyprescription or over-the-counter medications This product is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not~ protect against transmission of HIV (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases such as chiamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. What If I want to become pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control methodit takes some time after your last inection for its effect to wear offBased on the results from a large study done in the United States, for women who stop using DEPO-PROVEPA in order to become pregnant it is expected that about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10 months after their last injection; about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months; about 83% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months; and about 93% of those who become renant will do so in about 18 months after their last injection. The length of time you use O-PROVERA has no effect on how long ittakes ou to become pregnant after you stop using it What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? I rregulor Menstrual Bleeding The side effect reported most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using DEPO-PROVERA, you might have one or more of the following changes: irregular or unpredictable bleeding or spotting, an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding at all. Unusually heavy or continuous bleeding, however is not a usual effect of DEPO-PROVERA; and if this hap pens, you should see your health-care provider right away. With continued use of DEPO-PROVE A, bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having periods completely In clinical studies of DEPO-PR OVEPA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year of use, ard 68% of the women studied reported no renstrual bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PRO VEPA causes a resting state in your ovaies. When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly the regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not occur and, therefore, the bleeding that comes with your normal menstruation does not take place. When you stop using 6.Other Risks Women who use hormone-based contraceptives may have an increased risk of blood clots or stroke. Also, if a contraceptive method fails, there is a possibility that the fertilized egg will begin to develop outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy). While these events are rare, you should tell your health-care provider if you have any of the problems listed in the next section. What symptoms may signal problems while using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive injection?
