You’d be experiencing the same thing people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia (FM), or multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) experience. Chip Halverson, chair of the Washington Fatigue Education Association Indoor Environmental Quality work group and a teacher who suffered from severe MCS, struggled for years. Anxiety/panic “At one point, I was allergic to the world,” attacks Halverson said. Gastrointestinal Annie Shillinger, a former school librarian liv- problems ing in Renton, deals with her CFS and MCS daily. “At one point, my life [consisted of] two things: Drag yourself off to work in the morning, come back and go to bed,” Shillinger said. However, Martin Pall, WSU biochemistry and biophysics professor, may have help for Halverson, Shillinger and the 20 to 25 million others affected by one or more of these diseases. Muscle pain Pall believes he’s found the cause of not one but all four of the chronic illnesses. Using his biochemistry knowledge, Pall began researching the illnesses after he had a bout of CFS. “I had a perspective that I thought was use- ful,” he said. Pall noticed FM, MCS and PTSD had symptoms similar to CFS, such as fatigue and memory problems. In fact, the diseases can be co-morbid, meaning many people develop more than one ill- ness. Other symptoms for “All of these illnesses tend to be initiated by short-term stressors, most commonly infection, these common diseases: Joint pain physical trauma, psychological trauma and/or chemical exposure,” Pall said. Both Halverson and Shillinger’s illnesses devel- CFS – sore throat, oped after they were exposed to severe mold (and depression chemicals, in Halverson’s case) in their work- places, fitting Pall’s profile. Often, people with FM MCS – nausea, and PTSD develop the diseases after car accidents. chest pain CFS and FM can show up after someone gets mononucleosis. PTSD – dizziness, Pall found the diseases affected the body as a nightmares whole and remained after the short-term stressor was gone.

World briefs Sunni group calls for release of Westerners BAGHDAD, Iraq — An influ- ential Sunni clerical group called Wednesday for the release of five Westerners taken hostage in a grim revival of the kidnappings that shook Iraq last year, saying they should be freed on humanitarian grounds. The Association of Muslim Scholars is believed to have contacts with some Sunni insurgent groups and has helped mediate the releases of other captives in Iraq. The five include four aid workers from the group Christian Peacemaker Teams, Tom Fox, 54, of Clearbrook, Va.; Norman Kember, 74, of London; and James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, of Canada and German archaeologist Susanne Osthoff, 43. The association said freeing Osthoff would recognize Germany’s “positive” stand toward Iraq. Germany strongly opposed the U.S.- led invasion in 2003. Osthoff and her Iraqi driver were seized Friday and were later pictured in a videotape blindfolded on a floor, with militants armed with a rocket- propelled grenade standing beside them. Coal mining town mourns after explosion QITAIHE, China — Zhang Xianzhe came from a mining family. At 23, he already had spent seven years doing grimy, backbreaking digging in the tunnels of the Dongfeng Coal Mine for the equivalent of $120 a month. Yuan Yongcun, 48, was a veteran of two decades in the same mine in this hill town in China’s remote northeast, with a wife, son and daughter-in-law at home. Both men’s families got the kind of grim news that comes often to the homes of China’s miners: They were among the victims in the latest disaster to hit the accident-prone industry. The death toll from Sunday’s explosion rose to 161 late Wednesday, with at least 10 miners and possibly 33 missing. Early reports said 221 were underground when the accident occurred, based on the number of miners’ lamps handed out, but state media said the official attendance roll indicated 254 workers were on duty. It is a scene of grief that is repeated daily across China despite repeated official promises to stop fires, floods and other disasters that kill more than 5,000 miners annually. The rate of such huge-scale disasters is increasing, the group said. It said the past six years had seen seven of the nine mining accidents with death tolls exceeding 100 that have been reported since China’s 1949 communist revolution. The explosion Sunday in Qitaihe was blamed on coal dust that ignit- ed, state media say. But there was no official word on whether misconduct or human error was suspected. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS �� THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2005 Sports PAGE 9 Cougars are up, senior is out

WSU basketball team wins even after senior Randy Green walked out in the second half.

Kyle Bonagura Daily Evergreen staff Robbie Cowgill wasted no time getting back into the flow of things, scoring on WSU’s first possession as the Cougars jumped out to a big early lead and cruised to a 63-47 victory against Wyoming at Friel Court on Wednesday. “We played our best basketball in the first 10 minutes of the game,” said WSU head coach Dick Bennett. “It was a gritty performance against a team that was super aggressive.” Coming into the game, Bennett was worried about Wyoming’s presence in the post, but came away pleased with his team’s ability to scrap for points all game. “[Scrappy play is] important, I really want them to take on that personality,” Bennett said. Randy Green was the catalyst behind that scrappy effort in the first half. However, after being sub- stituted in favor of Rodney Edgerson with a 17-point lead with 5:12 left in the game, Green became upset and headed for the locker room. When the players got to the locker room after the game, Green was already gone. Bennett said he has no inten- tions of letting Green, the team’s lone senior, back on the team. “You just don’t do that,” Bennett said of Green’s actions. “As far as I’m concerned, he’s done.” Green finished the game with eight points in 12 minutes of action to go along with four JOE BARRENTINE/ASSOCIATED PRESS steals.
