By Tim Booth Associated Press writer

WENATCHEE, Wash. — The scrappy hustle Kam Douglass brought to the basketball court was a coach’s dream. Diving for loose balls, flustering opponents with his defensive intensity, Douglass made up for his lack of size when defending bigger and stronger players. But his tenacity exacted a physical price — head injuries. At just 19, the basketball career of the moppy- haired Douglass is over. He sustained an estimated 12 concussions of varying severity in less than two years. If Douglass’ playing career had begun just a few seasons later, his basketball dreams AP photo could have been saved by the toughest sports concussion Dr. Stanley Herring, right, co-medical director of the Seattle Sports Concussion program, and a team doc- law in the country — a meas- tor for the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners, is shown at Seahawks football practice in Renton, Wash. ure passed by the Washington Legislature this emergency brain surgeries.

Photos by RICHARD A. LIPSKI/The Washington Post As head of the Department of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, shown in her Washington office, works to protect the health of Americans. One of her main jobs is educating people, especially kids, about how to avoid the flu. By Valerie Strauss The Washington Post WASHINGTON — There is a woman whose job it is to try to keep you healthy — and no, it isn’t your mother. Kathleen Sebelius is President Barack Obama’s secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, and she spends her days leading the federal government’s effort to protect the health of Americans. These days Sebelius,61,is a very busy woman.Two of the most important issues in the country today involve the health of Americans: the spread of swine flu, and government efforts to improve the health-care system in the country. One of her main jobs is educating people, especially kids, about how to avoid the flu. Why are kids so important? Because so far,Sebelius said,most of the people who have gotten swine flu, also called the H1N1 virus, in this country are between ages 5 and 24. Officials say that this fall as much as half of the U.S. population could become infected. “It is important for kids to know that they can do something about this and not just sit around and wait to get sick,’’she said. So Sebelius talks to kids a lot about washing their hands (for about 20 seconds each time in soapy water) and about never coughing or sneezing into the air or into your hands, even if it means using your sleeve if no tissue is available! Here’s a reason for kids to like this government official: She urges kids to stay home from school if they feel sick. For Sebelius, the mother of two sons in their 20s, government service runs in the family. Her father, John Gilligan, was first elected to the City Council in Cincinnati, when she was 5 and was in politics for decades. He won the 1970 race to be Ohio’s governor. Kathleen Sebelius, a former governor of Kansas, has reminders of home: a gift from the University of Three decades later, Kathleen, who had married Gary Kansas basketball team, which won the NCAA championship in 2008. The basketball is on display in Sebelius, was elected governor of Kansas, and she was re- her Washington office. elected in 2006. She and her father are the first father and daughter to be governors in American history! Sebelius stepped down as governor when Obama asked her to move to Washington and become one of seven women in his Cabinet (his team of Kathleen Sebelius at a glance top advisers). She said it meant a great deal to her that her dad, now 88, Meet Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services watched her take the oath of office.
