WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Lisa Kudrow

The Emmy-winning actress, 47, returns to the small screen in Web Therapy, premiering July 19 on Showtime (11 p.m. ET).

ideas. “We have to ﬁgure out a way of making it for about a tenth of the cost of the [ﬁlms] because it’s television,” Lucas, 67, has explained.

Is your therapist character based on anyone? I don’t know anyone like her, but I do know someone who’s well spoken and poised. That’s how Fiona sees herself, but she’s ridiculous. Are you tech-savvy? Even if I wanted to be, I’m not allowed. Apparently, I have an electromagnetic ﬁeld that interferes with computers. It’s a phenomenon.

Courteney Cox said a Friends movie probably won’t happen. Have the six of you talked about doing a different project? No. I don’t know if anyone would feel right doing something else.

P Selena Gomez

Q: I have a 7-year-old and a 14-year-old. Is there a radio station we can all listen to happily? Even the adults? —David Beebe, Evanston, Ill.

A: There are various alter-

natives on satellite radio (Sirius/XM has a channel called Kids Place Live) and on the Internet (AOL’s Kids Pop), but a popular

AM/FM option is Radio Disney. The network, also available online and on Sirius, plays both original music from Disney stars like Selena Gomez and the latest hits from artists like Beyoncé. “Believe it or not, we hear from adults all the time that they keep Radio Disney playing long after they drop off the car pool,” says Ernie D, the network’s creative director and one of its DJs. Worried about some of the lyrics in current pop songs? Don’t be. Artists supply Radio Disney with kid-appropriate versions when necessary.

P Paula Deen

Q: Michelle Obama once said that if her husband was elected, Paula Deen would cook at the White House. Did this ever take place? —Lois Rankin, Greensboro, N.C.

A: Not yet, but the celeb-

rity chef, 64, has one heck of a menu planned just in case. “I know the president loves hot wings,” she says, “so I would do some with pepper-jelly glaze, watermelon salad to cut the heat, and buttered french toast.” And for dessert? “Lemon meringue pie!”

P George Lucas

Q: George Lucas was supposed to bring a liveaction Star Wars series to the small screen. What happened? —Tommy Burciaga, Fresno, Calif.

A: He’s working on it! Though Lucas has about 50 hours of written material, technology has not advanced to the point where he can execute his

“‘Golf’ is the only four-letter word I don’t say when I’m playing it.” —Justin Timberlake, amateur golfer (he has a 6 handicap!) and Friends With Beneﬁts star. For more from Justin, go to Parade.com /timberlake.

When it comes to human papillomavirus (HPV), females are only half the equation. There are 30 to 40 types of HPV that will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause cervical cancer in females and other types of HPV could cause genital warts in both males and females. And there’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus. GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases. GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant. The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child’s health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child’s health care professional. Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please read the Patient Information on the next page and discuss it with your child’s doctor or health care professional.

9883616 USPPI Patient Information about ® GARDASIL (pronounced “gard-Ah-sill”) Generic name: [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] 1

Read this information with care before getting GARDASIL . You (the person getting GARDASIL) will need 3 doses of the vaccine. It is important to read this leaﬂet when you get each dose. This leaﬂet does not take the place of talking with your health care provider about GARDASIL. What is GARDASIL? GARDASIL is a vaccine (injection/shot) that is used for girls and women 9 through 26 years of age to help protect against the following diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV): • Cervical cancer • Vulvar and vaginal cancers • Anal cancer • Genital warts • Precancerous cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and anal lesions GARDASIL is used for boys and men 9 through 26 years of age to help protect against the following diseases caused by HPV: • Anal cancer • Genital warts • Precancerous anal lesions The diseases listed above have many causes, and GARDASIL only protects against diseases caused by certain kinds of HPV (called Type 6, Type 11, Type 16, and Type 18). Most of the time, these 4 types of HPV are responsible for the diseases listed above. GARDASIL cannot protect you from a disease that is caused by other types of HPV, other viruses, or bacteria. GARDASIL does not treat HPV infection. You cannot get HPV or any of the above diseases from GARDASIL. What important information about GARDASIL should I know? • You should continue to get routine cervical cancer screening. • GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone who gets the vaccine. • GARDASIL will not protect against HPV types that you already have. Who should not get GARDASIL? You should not get GARDASIL if you have, or have had: • an allergic reaction after getting a dose of GARDASIL. • a severe allergic reaction to yeast, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, polysorbate 80. What should I tell my health care provider before getting GARDASIL? Tell your health care provider if you: • are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. GARDASIL is not recommended for use in pregnant women. • have immune problems, like HIV infection, cancer, or you take medicines that affect your immune system. • have a fever over 100°F (37.8°C). • had an allergic reaction to another dose of GARDASIL. • take any medicines, even those you can buy over the counter. Your health care provider will help decide if you should get the vaccine. How is GARDASIL given? GARDASIL is a shot that is usually given in the arm muscle. You will need 3 shots given on the following schedule: • Dose 1: at a date you and your health care provider choose. • Dose 2: 2 months after Dose 1. • Dose 3: 6 months after Dose 1. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your health care provider may ask you to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after you get GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your health care provider. Make sure that you get all 3 doses on time so that you get the best protection. If you miss a dose, talk to your health care provider.

Can other vaccines and medications be given at the same time as GARDASIL? GARDASIL can be given at the same time as RECOMBIVAX HB ®1 [hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant)] or Menactra [Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine] and Adacel [Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Tdap)]. What are the possible side effects of GARDASIL? The most common side effects with GARDASIL are: • pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site • headache • fever • nausea • dizziness • vomiting • fainting

START YOUR JOB HUNT To improve your odds, ask yourself these questions before you begin searching, says Ellen Gordon Reeves, author of Can I Wear My Nose Ring to the Interview?

WHAT’S YOUR TIMELINE? Figure out how long you can afford to look.

There was no increase in side effects when GARDASIL was given at the same time as RECOMBIVAX HB [hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant)]. There was more injection-site swelling at the injection site for GARDASIL when GARDASIL was given at the same time as Menactra [Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine] and Adacel [Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Tdap)]. Tell your health care provider if you have any of the following problems because these may be signs of an allergic reaction: • difﬁculty breathing • wheezing (bronchospasm) • hives • rash

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO? List three skills you enjoy using, three tasks you don’t like performing, and three companies you’re interested in.

DO YOU HAVE A 30-SECOND PITCH? You should be ready with a sound bite describing what you’re looking for and what you can offer an employer.

DO YOU HAVE SUPPORTING MATERIALS? You’ll need a business card with contact info, a businesslike cell phone message and social media presence, a résumé, and a cover letter tailored to each job.

Tell your health care provider if you have: • swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin) • joint pain • unusual tiredness, weakness, or confusion • chills • generally feeling unwell • leg pain • shortness of breath • chest pain • aching muscles • muscle weakness • seizure • bad stomach ache • bleeding or bruising more easily than normal • skin infection

DO YOU LOOK READY TO LOOK? You may need to get a haircut or buy new interview clothes.

Contact your health care provider right away if you get any symptoms that concern you, even several months after getting the vaccine. For a more complete list of side effects, ask your health care provider. What are the ingredients in GARDASIL? The ingredients are proteins of HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, yeast protein, sodium chloride, L-histidine, polysorbate 80, sodium borate, and water for injection.

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS Quality Tools at Ridiculously Low Prices

Manner Up! Modern etiquette made easy

Q: Someone at work always brings fish for lunch and microwaves it where we all eat. It’s very stinky, which we’ve mentioned to her, but she still does it. What can we do?

PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK

—Sandra K., San Angelo, Tex.

A: Is your coworker a penguin? Because unless she’s sporting ﬂippers and a beak and is therefore restricted in her diet, there’s no reason she can’t save the ﬁsh for home and bring something else to eat for lunch. To make sure she doesn’t feel personally attacked, ask a supervisor to send a memo specifying the few foods that are too odoriferous to be heated in the microwave or are just universally offensive. (Fish is No. 1. A close second: blue cheese.) Of course, what’s truly mind-boggling is that the woman didn’t voluntarily cease and desist when people complained about the smell. There’s something fishy there. —Judith Newman Send your questions to Parade.com/mannerup

The Next

A LOOK AT NASA’S DEFINING MOMENTS—AND WHERE WE’RE HEADED NOW

Whither Pluto, and Other Earth-Shattering Discoveries BY MIKE BROWN, CALTECH ASTRONOMY PROFESSOR

like many kids in the 1970s, i was space crazy. It was the start of the space age, and as I watched in awe as astronauts on TV stepped on the moon’s dry surface, I dreamed of living there someday. I pored over a color newspaper photo that had actually been taken by a robot on Mars, and I read all about its (unsuccessful) search for life. On my wall was a poster with a line tracing the path of the spacecraft that was heading out to study the nine planets—well, except for Pluto, which was too far away. Thirty-five years later and my hobby has become a full-time job—I’m a professor of astronomy at Caltech in Pasadena. Since my childhood, I’ve witnessed our knowledge of the solar system expand exponentially. As a kid, I had a map of the solar system that showed 11 bodies—nine planets plus the moon and the sun— floating in a dark void broken only by a few tiny asteroids and comets. Today, we’ve filled in so much more of the picture, thanks to robots, spacecraft, telescopes, and laboratories. Here are some of the biggest findings. We’ve lost a planet—but gained many worlds.

Out of all the recent discoveries, one in particular upset lots of people: the demotion of lovable Pluto from full-fledged planet to dwarf planet. But with its tiny size and elongated, tilted orbit, it never really ﬁt in with the rest of our planetary lineup. Visit us at PARADE.COM

In the last several years, astronomers using computers and cameras attached to scopes have found that Pluto is just one of thousands of similar bodies crisscrossing the Kuiper Belt, the region of the solar system beyond Neptune. (In 2005, I discovered the ﬁrst of these objects found to be more massive than Pluto; it was later named Eris, and it paved the way for Pluto’s reclassiﬁcation.) Each of these bodies is a fresh little world with its own unique conditions and characteristics. Like Haumea, which spins once every four hours—faster than anything else seen in the solar system so far— and is surrounded by the debris from a collision that occurred billions of years ago. Or Quaoar, a rocky world in the otherwise icy belt. Or slowpoke Sedna, which takes 12,000 years to complete one solar orbit and appears to have changed so little over time that it may hold secrets to the birth of the solar system. There are scores more. There’s truly no place like our home solar system.

For centuries, astronomers believed every star in the sky might hold a solar system much like our own, with small, rocky planets residing close in; giant, gaseous planets situated farther out; and all of these planets rotating around their suns in stately circular orbits. But the latest generation of telescopes is showing us that we couldn’t be more wrong. Enormous, gassy planets like Jupiter—which were thought to form in the deep cold far from the sun—have been found nearer to their suns than blazing-hot Mercury is to ours; we’ve spied jumbled arrays of planets following crooked orbits. Seemingly the only thing we haven’t seen is a

A host of private companies aim to send tourists into zero G as early as next year. Here are the contenders. ▼ COMPANY: BIGELOW AEROSPACE

▲ COMPANY: VIRGIN GALACTIC

FOUNDER: Sir Richard Branson, CEO of

the Virgin Group THE SHIP: WhiteKnightTwo will take off like an airplane and carry SpaceShipTwo, which it will release at 50,000 feet. A rocket engine will send SpaceShipTwo more than 62 miles up, where riders will experience weightlessness for about four minutes before returning. CAPACITY: Six passengers and two pilots LAUNCH DATE: Possibly as soon as 2012 PRICE: $200,000, with a $20,000 minimum deposit

“When you come out of the nine-minute hold, you’re in space and that’s your new reality for a couple of weeks. Going home, you start the de-orbit burn, and an hour later you’re on the runway on Earth; two days later, you’re working in your yard. It’s fascinating to have your reality change so much and so quickly.” —NASA pilot Doug Hurley, a crew member on the last space shuttle flight

FOUNDER: Robert Bigelow, owner of Budget Suites of America hotels THE SHIP: The BA 330 is a habitable, expandable spacecraft that will hold astronauts, labs, and manufacturing equipment and travel 217 to 280 miles above Earth—around the same altitude as the International Space Station. CAPACITY: Up to six passengers, depending on the pod’s size LAUNCH DATE: Two BA 330’s will be ready for launch by 2014 PRICE: $28.75 million for a 30-day stay

WHAT’S IT REALLY LIKE BEING IN SPACE? Insights from current and former astronauts by Emmet Sullivan

“The sheer force shooting you into space is amazing. For nine minutes, you experience unbelievable acceleration. It’s like the best roller-coaster/ﬁghter-jet ride imaginable.” —NASA mission specialist Rex Walheim, a crew member on the last shuttle flight

“Since there’s no up or down in space, you’re disoriented all the time. You can get lost in the space shuttle because nothing is recognizable. The floor doesn’t look like the floor, or you can’t quite seem to find it.” —FAA’s Pamela Melroy, former astronaut and veteran of three shuttle flights

As a kid, I committed the nine planets to memory, but I never thought much about their moons. By and large, neither did scientists. The only moon they studied was ours, which, judging from the Apollo ﬁndings, was dusty and quite dull. But after six major robotic missions, analysis and reanalysis of the Apollo astronauts’ moon rocks, and data from lunar orbiters, we now know that there are over 140 planetary moons—Saturn alone has at least 53!—and that they are some of the solar system’s most fascinating places. Jupiter has Io, which boasts more volcanic activity than Yellowstone, and Europa, which has an ocean of water hiding beneath a thin ice crust. Saturn’s Titan contains clouds of methane droplets that fall into seas the size of our Great Lakes. Even our moon has turned out to be interesting. When NASA scientists slammed a used rocket booster into its south pole in October 2009, a plume of water spewed up. Further evidence shows that water, essential for human life, might be ubiquitous both on the surface and inside. Maybe my dreams of waking up on the moon were not so crazy after all.

—Head of NASA Charles F. Bolden Jr., former astronaut and veteran of four shuttle flights

“One strange thing about going into space was how I felt on Earth afterwards. When I came home, I was almost appalled at the level of force squishing us like bugs into the Earth. Once you’ve escaped gravity, you realize how overpowering it is.” —NASA mission specialist Sandy Magnus, a crew member on the last shuttle flight

To great disappointment, the 1976 Viking landers revealed that Mars was a frigid wasteland with no signs of living organisms. But since then, scientists have gone from thinking life there is impossible to thinking it might be inevitable. What’s led to the shift? Three realizations: Mars was hotter and wetter at one time; microbes can survive most anywhere

The Martians are back! “My most unexpected sensation was emotion. Ten minutes into my ﬁrst ﬂight, I saw a huge island. It took me a while to recognize that it was Africa. It was beautiful but disconcerting— there were no borders or lines. I started to cry, because I couldn’t believe I was looking down on where my ancestors came from.”

NASA’S OTHER HEROES These unmanned spacecraft have been some of space exploration’s great unsung stars by Rebecca Boyle

Voyager 1 and 2 (1977–?) The twin probes have revealed the solar system’s diversity—showing us, for instance, the volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io—and made the first visits to Uranus and Neptune. But their major legacy will be exiting the solar system—they’ll be the first human-built objects to do so. Voyager 1 is now almost 11 billion miles from the sun; Voyager 2, close to 9 billion. Voyager 1 should escape the sun’s influence by 2015.

Hubble Space Telescope (1990–?) The Hubble has enabled us to pinpoint the universe’s age; understand how galaxies evolve; ﬁnd planets outside the solar system; and discover dark energy, a force that seems to be pulling the universe apart at an accelerating rate. Set to operate through 2014.

Mars Rovers Spirit (2004–2010) and Opportunity (2004–?)

PHOTOS, FROM TOP: NASA (3); WARNER BROS./COURTESY OF NEAL PETERS COLLECTION

Designed to last three months, the twin craft have sent back data for more than seven years. Two big discoveries: Evidence was found that Mars once held a salty sea and hot springs, and that water was there recently—100,000 years ago. Opportunity is still on the job, and should be as long as its solar panels get sunlight, but Spirit last phoned home in March 2010.

and, once they exist, are nearly impossible to eradicate; and asteroid impacts have blasted pieces of Earth to Mars—and vice versa—for billions of years. So picture this: In the distant past, a rock from Earth containing microbes landed on a warm, damp Mars. Their descendants remain there to this day, hidden in niches and eking out an existence on an otherwise inhospitable Mars. Or envision this: Microbes from Mars

fell on the very early Earth, and the offspring of those microbes are still here—and they are us. For now, these ideas are mostly speculative, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a mission to Mars in our lifetime found these microbes, and showed us that sometimes sci-fi stories can come true.

THE PLAN: Beach day THE PRESCRIPTION: If

you’ll be swimming (or sweating), make sure the formula is waterresistant, which means it will maintain its SPF level for 40 minutes after exposure to moisture. THE PLAN: Amusement park with the kids THE PRESCRIPTION: Sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are generally less irritating and start to protect skin the second they’re applied, not 30 minutes afterward. —Cara Birnbaum

5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ...

Sunscreen You probably need another coat. “The general rule is a shot glass full for the whole body. But if you’re in a bathing suit, that may not be enough,” says dermatologist Cheryl Karcher.

SPF isn’t everything. The number gauges how well a sunscreen fends off UVB light—but not UVA rays. To ensure your formula protects against both, scan

the label for the words “broad spectrum” and more than one of the following ingredients: avobenzone (Parsol 1789), Mexoryl, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide.

Sunscreen weakens when exposed to heat and light. Store it in a cool place, not in the trunk of your car. Get formulas with stabilizing ingredients, like Helioplex or Dermaplex.

You may need to wear it indoors. Unless they’ve been specially treated, the windows of your home or office typically won’t shield you from damaging rays, says dermatologist Francesca Fusco.

And underneath your clothes. The average white cotton T-shirt provides an SPF of 10 or less. —C.B.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

We all know that the equator is the dividing line between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. But where’s the geographic line that divides “Western” and “Eastern” countries? —Bradley Selzman, Los Angeles

It’s the great circle that runs through the prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) at Greenwich, England, and the 180degree meridian—the international date line—in the Paciﬁc Ocean. If you’re west of the prime meridian (up to the 180degree meridian), you’re in the Western Hemisphere. If you’re east of the prime meridian (again, up to the 180-degree meridian), you’re in the Eastern Hemisphere. In practice, some people consider the dividing line to be 20 degrees west of Greenwich (and 160 degrees east) so Europe and Africa are not straddling both hemispheres. ®

Roll ’Em! Gilles Marini of Brothers and Sisters shares a French trick for feeding the family on the ﬂy

I grew up in a little bakery in France. My father would bake everything, and I was eating, eating, eating—8 to 10 pastries a day! W henever my mother would declare it crepe night at home, we would think, Wow, Mom is so cool! But it was an easy way for my mom to feed us, because when you have nothing in the fridge but eggs and a bit of ﬂour and whatnot, you can still make crepes. My wife and I do that now with our children, Georges and Juliana. We’ll ask, “What shall we make tonight?” And we usually do crepes. They’re like the French burrito. They can be sweet, like this recipe, or done with ham and cheese and eggs, or with salmon. Gilles Marini and his father, Georges, make pastries.

P “If you have time, let the batter rest for half an hour before frying the crepes. And you can keep any unused batter covered in the fridge for one day.”

P “My secret ingredient is eau de fleur d’oranger [orangeblossom water, available in specialty food stores]. Put in only one or two drops because it’s very, very strong. But people will say, ‘Oh my God, this is delicious.’ ”

Crepe Expectations 2 cups milk 1 cup ﬂour 3 eggs 1 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup melted, unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixer or blender and blend until smooth. 2. In a medium-size skillet over medium-low heat, melt ½ tsp butter; ladle

in ¼ cup crepe batter. Swirl the skillet until you have a thin layer of batter covering the entire bottom. 3. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes; flip. Cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1 minute. 4. Add a filling, if desired, right after flipping. Place ingredients down the center

of the crepe so you can fold in the sides like an envelope. If you aren’t using a ﬁlling, cook all the crepes, then put them on a plate in the middle of the table alongside bowls of various ﬁllings—jams, Nutella, whipped cream, sautéed fruit, etc.—so everyone can choose their own.

P “I love salmon crepes. But if you want to make the recipe savory, not sweet, you need to lose the vanilla extract and the sugar. Then you can put whatever you want inside.”
