The 9/11 Memorial Needs You
O
n the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this
September, a new national memorial will open on the site of the twin towers. The eight-acre park will eventually include an interacegf tive museum honoring the 2,982 people who lost their lives that day and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing—but its curators need your help. “We want to make sure that those who died are remembered as Sara Low, who lost more than just victims of terrorism,” says Amy Weinstein, associate curator her life on 9/11, and her airline wings of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. “Our goal is to show how they lived their lives and what made them special.” The museum is asking anyone with photographs, videos, or mementos of people who died in the attacks to send them in for inclusion. Mike Low of Batesville, Ark., has already heeded the call. His daughter, Sara, was a 28-year-old flight attendant aboard the first plane that struck the World Trade Center. Low donated a photograph of Sara, as well as the one thing his daughter was proudest of—her American Airlines wings. “This tribute is also about the spirit of 9/12,” says Joe Daniels, the memorial’s president, “when the entire world came together to mourn and heal.” For more information on how to get involved, visit Parade.com/911. —Brad Dunn

Sign up for a creditmonitoring service. Before you decide which company to use, ask two simple questions: First, does the service monitor all three credit bureaus 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Second, will it notify you in real time? If they say they’ll mail you a letter
every 90 days to let you know if there’s been any suspicious activity, that’s not good enough. The service should cost less than $10 a month.
3
Put away your debit card. It’s safer to use a credit card whenever you can. By federal statute, you essentially have no liability if someone makes illegal charges on it.
4
Have two passwords. For online transactions, use one password for shopping and a different one for banking. And make sure to change both passwords once a year.

by Marilyn vos Savant Why haven’t zebras been domesticated for use as pack or draft animals, or for riding? —Jack D’Amerio, Tolar, Tex.
Because zebras are mean! They’re almost impossible to tame, which means they would be even harder to domesticate—a genetic modification that takes place over many generations. So, as zebras offer no advantages over horses, there’s little reason to even try. Readers may be surprised to learn that zebras are among the most dangerous animals in our zoos and wildlife parks. Their bite is vicious, and they aim to kill.

Confessions of a Teenage
Nominee Hailee Steinfeld, the heart of True Grit, on the excellent adventures that brought her to tonight’s red carpet BY MARY MARGARET m Cover and inside portrait BY JEFF LIPSKY

Writer-directors Joel and Ethan Coen knew they needed someone remarkable to play Mattie Ross in True Grit. At the last minute, after a cross-country search, they found their star in newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, an L.A. native who landed the part after three auditions—then earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress her first time out. “That difficult dialogue just flew out of her mouth,” says co-star Bridges. “Each scene with her was a wonderful little adventure.” Now Steinfeld, 14, daughter of an interior designer and a fitness trainer, is looking forward to her first Academy Awards ceremony tonight (“I don’t know many designers,” she says when asked, several weeks before the
show, what kind of dress she wants to wear. “As long as it’s fun and really special!”). She’s also rumored to be up for the part of Katniss Everdeen from the best-selling young-adult novel The Hunger Games. “My parents have always told me, ‘The day you stop loving what you do, you’re not in the right place,’ ” she says. “As long as I’m loving it as much as I am now, I see myself doing this forever.” Steinfeld shares with PARADE some highlights of her awesome journey. Baby Steps Steinfeld admits she “tried every
sport and never stuck with anything.” So when, at 8, she declared she was interested in acting, her mother insisted she take classes for a year first. “I was like, ‘All right, I’ll do this to show you.’ After that, my mom and I started watching movies. Paper Moon with Tatum O’Neal was one of the first that stood out to me. Her role in that was a bit of my inspiration for True Grit—she was so independent.” School of Hard Knocks “I
was teased really bad,” Steinfeld says about the bullying she endured from third to sixth grade; she’s now homeschooled. “I just happened to be that kid everyone picked on. It’s the worst.” F

“I never thought this would happen so fast,” says Steinfeld, with Bridges.
Despite that trauma, she’s not ruling out attending high school (“I think that whatever I do next [in acting] will kind of determine my decision”), and could see putting her career on the back burner for college. “I look at Natalie Portman, and I think it’s so awesome that she took time off and got this amazing education,” Steinfeld says. Impressing the Big Guns “Hailee
has a great period quality,” says producer Scott Rudin. “She’s a very contemporary girl, but she was able to get the severity of the character naturally and easily.” Steinfeld also wowed Kim Darby, who starred with John Wayne in the 1969 True Grit. At a screening of the Coens’ film, Darby told Steinfeld she loved it, “which means a lot to me,” says the teenager. And the veteran offered some sage advice: “She looked me in the eye and said, ‘Please, for me, make the right decisions and do the right things. Take your time. God bless you.’ ” A Crash Course in Coen Steinfeld
hadn’t seen many of her codirectors’ movies—“Well, most of them are rated R,” she notes—

H
is crusade is nothing if not personal. Nearly 20 years ago, Karnazes was plodding along in the San Francisco corporate world, a paunchy former athlete who lacked purpose. Then, in a story he’s recounted many times, he beat back a birthday tequila buzz by running 30 miles overnight in his boxers. Since then, Karnazes has won some of the world’s toughest footraces and attracted a global following with his book Ultramarathon Man. Karnazes still races nearly every weekend—he’s the guy who shouts “Super tremendous!” when people ask him how he’s doing— but winning is no

What can I do?’ And I have to give that parent a hard response,” says Karnazes, who is married to his high school sweetheart and has two kids of his own, 13 and 16. “ ‘Are you active? Do you eat well? Do you watch your weight?’ This needs to start with the parents saying, ‘Obesity sucks.’ ” Karnazes, like his idol, the late

n 2007 ultra-runner Dean Karnazes was giving a talk at a junior high school in the South when nature called. He headed for the restroom, where he was met by a startling sight: a bucket full of used needles. “I thought, What is that doing in here?” Karnazes recalls. “So I asked the teacher, and she said, ‘A lot of kids here are insulin-dependent diabetics because of their weight.’ I couldn’t believe it. It was so sad.” For Karnazes, the best-selling author of three books—his fourth, Run! 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss, hits shelves March 1— moments like those have shaped his life’s mission: to promote better health for all Americans. In 2006 he ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, and two years later he logged 211 miles over 48 hours on a New York City treadmill— more than eight straight marathons in one room. His latest quest may be his most ambitious yet, and not just because it involves 3,100 miles of running at a pace of 40 to 50 miles a day. On Friday, Karnazes, 48, was scheduled to embark on a run

He runs 340 days a year (averaging 15 miles a day); maintains 3.5% body fat on his 147-pound frame; and eats salads made with salmon, cayenne pepper, grapefruit, broccoli, and sugar-free yogurt—a lifestyle he doesn’t necessarily advocate for others, despite his ambitions for Americans’ health. Karnazes has set up a foundation, Karno Kids (motto: “No child left inside”), which has gotten tens of thousands of kids up and running in races across the country. He’s also a member of a California task force that helped make state school lunches healthier and that got junk food removed from school vending machines. “Dean doesn’t have to cite statistics,” says California schools superintendent Tom Torlakson. “He’s much more credible just being himself.” After this year’s cross-country trek, Karnazes has an even bigger goal queued up for 2012: to run marathons in more than 200 countries. “Running makes us all human,” he says. “It brings people together in a wonderful way.” Get Karnazes’s tips for a healthy life (even if you’re not a marathon runner) at Parade.com/karnazes

Lasseter acts like a kid who won’t come down from the monkey bars. His favorite words are “I’m so, so excited!” and his collectibles threaten to overrun his office at Pixar Animation Studios, where he has been a dominant creative force behind blockbusters like the Toy Story franchise, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and Cars.

PARADE Adults have been
known to choke up at the finale of Toy Story 3. What gives it that impact? There’s a scene toward the end that powers the emotions for the finale. It’s when Andy’s mom walks into his empty bedroom. All she does is put her hand to her chest and take a breath. It taps into strong parental feelings. I have five sons, and much of my experience raising them has been put into the story of Woody the cowboy. For instance, I did not anticipate the impact that taking my son Ben to college would have on me. When we drove away, and
he was waving at the curb, I just started weeping. Where’s the sentiment in Cars 2, coming this summer? In this story, Lightning McQueen takes his best friend, Mater, out of his home in Radiator Springs, out of where he fits, to the glitzy World Grand Prix. That really strains their friendship. It’s alsoo about the sweet character of Mater er discovering that people are laughing ghing at him, not with him. Toy Story 3 is up for fivee Oscars tonight, including ing both Best Animated Feature and Best Picture. ure. Since animation has itss own category, can an animated film ever win n Best Picture? I’m very proud that we have ave our own category. But that hat
Are Sundays a chance to slow it down? Amen! Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans. The rituals start with the Sunday comics, which my sons and I cherish. My childhood favorites were Peanuts and Dennis the Menace. And I’ve always loved Calvin and Hobbes. Then a phenomenal breakfast, my favorite meal. And for the rest of the day, it’s just staying away from TV and video games, doing something outside if the weather’s great. We W are also huge boardgame fanatics, because they gam bring the family together. bri What’s the story behind your many Hawaiian H shirts? In my closet, they’re filed by subject matter: automotive, subje Pixar films, Disney films, tropical ones, ones sports teams. My wife, Nancy, said, s “You should match your shirt shi to what you’re doing that da day.” I always say they’re like a toy t you can wear.

Pixar movies often have a nostalgic streak. What are you personally nostalgic about? I’ve noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did. I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.

Rushdie’s Tips
A Father-Son Favorite For author Salman Rushdie, this dish recalls the deliciously spicy meals of his childhood in India
My son Milan, who is 13, loves Indian food, like his dad, and I can cook it reasonably well if I try. My sister, Sameen, however, is a genius cook, so usually I take the lazy route and go with Milan to eat at her house. She manages to capture the flavors of my mother’s cooking, which we both grew up loving in Bombay (before it was Mumbai). This isn’t easy. If
you asked my mother for a recipe, she’d say, “Well, you take some of this and a bit of that, and you stir it for a while and cook it a little more.” But the meals of our childhood are magical memories—the koftas (meatballs), kormas (rich curries with yogurt), and delicious desserts. Lamb korma is one of Milan’s absolute favorites, and mine as well.
P “Trim all excess
fat first, then cut the meat into medium-size cubes, deboning some pieces and keeping others on the bone.”
Lamb Korma 1½ cups chopped onion 1 cup clarified butter (melted and skimmed of milk solids) 4 to 5 large cardamom pods (available in the spice section) 10 to 12 small cardamom pods 2 lb lamb, cubed 6 to 8 garlic cloves, crushed ½ inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated 1½ Tbsp ground coriander 1 tsp red chili powder 1½ tsp salt 8 oz plain yogurt, lightly whisked Pinch of saffron
1. Brown onions in butter until deep golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and pulse in a blender to form a paste. Crush cardamom; mix into paste. 2. Add meat to pan; stir over medium-high. After a few minutes, add garlic, ginger, coriander, chili powder, and salt. Stir for a couple of minutes. Mix in yogurt. Cover and cook over very low heat, 1 to 1½ hours. 3. About 5 minutes before korma is ready, add onion-cardamom paste and saffron so it can be absorbed by the meat and gravy. SERVES: 8 PER SERVING: 450 calories,
7g carbs, 25g protein, 36g fat, 550mg sodium, 1g fiber, 120mg cholesterol
P“After 30 minutes,
you may need to add some water. But if your gravy is too watery, you added too much! Turn the heat up and boil some off. A korma should have a thick sauce.”

O
nce upon a time, Prince Charles presented a breathtaking sapphire and diamond ring to his bride-to-be, Diana. Years later, the dashing Prince William — future King of England — presented this symbol of fairy tale romance to his future princess, Kate Middleton…and again the world rejoiced in anticipation of the wedding of the century! Today, as the fabled story of this romantic ring captures hearts anew, you can share in its splendor. Presenting…The Royal Engagement Ring, a spectacular jewelry creation inspired by the world-renowned treasure.
The Royal Engagement Ring is a superbly crafted masterpiece. A sterling silver band makes the perfect setting for a profusion of 14 glittering Diamonesse stones to encircle a truly magnificent, 3- carat synthetic sapphire.
A true replica of the original ring would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but you can enjoy all this luxury for just $87 plus $7.80 shipping and service, payable in three monthly installments of $31.60. Satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you are not delighted, return the ring within 90 days for replacement or refund. Order today! © MBI
