SUICIDE

a written statement that the data
showed that youth suicide is still a
major problem.
"We don't know yet if this is a
short-lived increase or if it's the
beginning of a trend," Arias wrote.
"Either way it's a harsh reminder
that suicide and suicide attempts
are affecting too many youth and
young adults. We need to make sure
suicide prevention efforts are con-
tinuous and reaching children and
young adults."
Some psychology experts said
they think 2004 was an anoma-
ly.
"We need a couple more years to
see if it's going up, but we should be
worried," Psychiatry Prof.Sean Joe

said.
The CDC has started several
surveillance programs to catalog
information and offer solutions for
dealing with suicide. The National
Violent Death Reporting System,
created in 2003, collects informa-
tion on the circumstances and
demographics of suicides for health
officials, hospitals and law enforce-
ment personnel.
Hayes said the CDC hopes to
expand the database from its cur-
rent 17 states to the rest of the
country.
"As we capture more states, we
will be able to see some of the cir-
cumstances that might be linked to
this kind of death," she said.
The database, however, pro-
vides no conclusive evidence as to
why people commit suicide, said

He's disappointed, but he'll come
back quicker than most."
Henne was injured scrambling
out of bounds late in the first half of
Saturday's 39-7 loss to Oregon. He
returned to the game briefly, but
did not come out of the locker room
for the second half. The offense was
handed over to Mallett.
Henne was on pace to tie the

"We knew that this was a
tough time in terms of finance for
the state and funding of public
universities, so we were happy we
were able to get raises," Halloran
said.
LEO's previous contract, ham-
mered out in 2004, expired June
30. Halloran said the group want-
ed to fix some problems discov-
ered since the first agreement.
Under the new contract, lec-
turers who don't teach during the
summer will continue to be cov-
ered by University medical insur-
ance during that time. Paid sick
leave was also extended for some
givingnetwork users with flagged
IP addresses the opportunity to
settle with the RIAA's companies
before a lawsuit was filed.
Because the record companies
onlyissued subpoenas for 12 users,
as many as 11 users could have set-
tled withinthe next month.
Bernard said he expects to see
more notices and lawsuits this
year, although no new per-liti-
gation settlement letters or sub-
poenas have been issued to the
University since May.
Bernard said the RIAA some-
times issues a subpoena for the
user of an IP address for which
the University no longer has a
record. The University couldn't
identify user of at least one of
the IP addresses included in the
RIAA's subpoena, he said.
Jansen (1994-98). Henne has start-
ed every Michigan game since he
joined the team.
Mallett struggled in his debut,
finishing 6-of-17 for 49 yards and
one interception. But the Texar-
kana, Texas native impressed his
teammates with his poise and con-
fidence in the huddle.
"He was real calm, he didn't seem
that shook up or anything," senior
wide receiver Adrian Arrington
said. "He just tried to get out there
and act like it was practice. Just call
the plays, go through his reads and
try and make the right calls."
Mallett enrolled at Michigan
last winter in order to adjust to the
rigors of both college football and
academics. He was able to practice
with the team during the spring,
and thatgave him an edge that most
freshman quarterbacks don't have.
Henne came to Michigan the
July before his freshman year and
only participated in conditioning
drills and fall practice with the team
before being thrown into the fire.
"It's kind of like (Mallett was) a
redshirt freshman almost because
he was here all spring learning the
offense," senior tri-captain Jake
Long said. "He was here all sum-
mer, and then during camp he just
fine-tuned what he needed to about
the offense, and I think that gives
him confidence. It gives everybody
else around him confidence. And I
think he's going to do well at that
spot."
lecturers.
Thenew contract also cre-
ated a professional development
program that will grant some
lecturers up to $500 so they can
travel to academic conferences.
The program will have an annual
budget of $21,000 on the Ann
Arbor campus and $7,500 on the
University's other two campuses.
Frumkin said contract discus-
sions went smoothly, praising
negotiators on both sides of the
table.
"The atmosphere was very
civil, very courteous, very pro-
fessional," Frumkin said. "It was
not the movie or TV sort of atmo-
sphere of people screaming. That
never happened. We were about
solving problems."

VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - A
shadowy leftist guerrilla group
took credit for a string of explo-
sions that ripped apart at least
six Mexican oil and gas pipe-
lines yesterday, rattling financial
markets and causing hundreds
of millions of dollars in lost pro-
duction.
The six explosions could be
seen miles away, and set off fires
that sent flames and black smoke
shooting high above the Gulf
coast state of Veracruz.
At least a dozen pipelines, most
carrying natural gas, were affect-
ed, said Jesus Reyes Heroles, the
head of Mexico's oil monopoly
Petroleos Mexicanos, without
providing specifics. The explo-
sions occurred in valve stations
where different pipelines inter-
sect.
He said there would be hun-
dreds of millions of dollars in lost
production and about nine states
and the capital, Mexico City,
would be affected.
"It is a big blow," he said. "You
can't store natural gas or trans-
port it by truck."
The blasts caused brief jitters
in international markets, with
natural gas futures up as much as
20.2 cents on news of the explo-
sions, although prices dropped in
later trading.
One oil pipeline was hit in
Monday's attack but Pemex said
the damage wouldn't affect crude
exports.
Some local factories were
forced to shut after natural gas
supplies were cut. Residential
supplies were not expected to be
affected.
