The 9/11 Memorial Needs Youn 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 interac-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 more than just victims of terrorism,” says Amy Weinstein, associate curator 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 ask-ing 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 fl ight attendant aboard the fi rst plane that struck the World Trade Center. Low donated a photograph of Sara, as well as the one thing his daughter was proud-est 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

1Shred everything. Even the mailing label

on a store catalog can be used to steal your identity. There are three types of shredders; use the ones marked “Security Micro Cut Shredder.” They turn paper into actual confetti and are widely available.

2Sign up for a credit-

monitoring 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.

3Put 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.

4Have 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.

MOONWALKING

WITH EINSTEIN

by Joshua Foer, nonfiction, $27

Like time and money, memory is something we can always use more of. For one year, Foer tried to attain total recall, extracting secrets from the top researchers, the real Rain Man, and the world’s memory champs. He triumphed, both in his quest and in this lively account, which is, no exaggeration, unforgettable.

Why haven’t

zebras been

domesticated for

use as pack or

draft animals, or for riding?

—Jack D’Amerio, Tolar, Tex.

Because zebras aremean! They’re almost impossible to tame, which means they would be even harder to domesticate—a genetic modifi cation 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.

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 nomina-tion for Best Supporting Actress her fi rst time out. “That diffi cult dialogue just fl ew 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 fi tness trainer, is looking for-ward to her fi rst 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 fi rst. “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 fi rst that stood out to me. Her role in that was a bit of my inspira-tion 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

Despite that trauma, she’s not ruling out attending high school (“I think that whatever I do next [in acting] will kind of deter-mine 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 screen-ing of the Coens’ fi lm, Darby told Steinfeld she loved it, “which means a lot to me,” says the teen-ager. 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 codirec-tors’ movies—“Well, most of them are rated R,” she notes—

“I never thought this would happen so fast,” says Steinfeld, with Bridges.

but she quickly learned why they’re Oscar darlings. “I was sur-prised by how easy they made it look,” she says. “And their col-laboration as brothers…I have an older brother, and I love him to death, but I could never direct a motion picture with him.” The Coens say she helped make it easy: “She was good initially and stayed good,” Ethan says. Adds Joel: “We never felt we had to make concessions [to her age].”

Waking Up to a Dream “I was in bed and heard my parents cheer-ing in the other room,” she says about the morning she learned of her Oscar nomination. “I’m sur-prised my phone didn’t blow up from all the text messages.”

Her Good-Luck Charm “Joel gave me a ring on the last day,” Stein-feld says. “It’s a thin gold band, and it has a purple stone. I wear it every day.” Says Joel, “That was my wife’s [Frances McDor-mand’s] idea. It was made by a friend who’s a jewelry designer.” The Downside of Fame Steinfeld wants you to know that there’s someone pretending to be her on Twitter. “And they’re saying not-so-good things,” she says. “I promise it’s not me! I don’t have a Twitter [account].”

But There Are Upsides, Too “I’m definitely going, ‘Oh my God’ left and right,” she says of the events she’s been attending. “I always get so starstruck. I met [The Social Network’s] Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfi eld, and Armie Hammer at a luncheon. Ahhh! That was a good day.”

In 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

across America—starting at Disneyland and fi nishing in Manhattan—to be broadcast regularly for nearly three months on Live! with Regis and Kelly. He will stop at schools and health clubs along the way to speak about fi ghting what he calls “globesity”—a problem that has grown to tragic proportions, especially among children. In Karnazes’s home state of California alone, between health care and lost productivity, obesity

costs $41 billion a year, and it’s estimated that one-third of American children—25 mil-lion—are overweight or obese.

“My whole idea is to really shake people up, to break through,” Karnazes says of his latest journey. “To do that, you can’t just run a 5K.”

His 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

longer his focus; “getting people moving” is.

“Parents come up to me all the time saying, ‘I’m worried about little Johnny—he’s not active, he doesn’t eat well, and he’s chubby. 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

Karnazes's life goal is simple: to "get people moving," especially kids.

‘Super tremendous!’

Jack LaLanne, sets a singular example in his own life. 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 ambi-tions 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.”

He’s 54, but john Lasseter acts like a kid who won’t come down from the mon-

key bars. His favorite words are “I’m so, so excited!” and his collect-ibles threaten to overrun his offi ce 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. Since Disney’s purchase of Pixar in 2006, Lasseter has supervised that fabled studio’s animation slate as well. He tells Steve Daly what keeps him pushing the envelope.

PARADE Adults have been known to choke up at the fi nale of Toy Story 3. What gives it that impact?There’s a scene toward the end that powers the emotions for the fi nale. 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 fi ve 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 fi ts, to the glitzy World Grand Prix. That really strains their friendship. It’s also about the sweet character of Mater discover-ing that people are laughing at him, not with him.

Toy Story 3 is up for fi ve Oscars tonight, including both Best Animated Feature and Best Picture. Since animation has its own category, can an animated fi lm ever win Best Picture?I’m very proud that we have our own category. But that

should not discount an animated fi lm from being thought of as a Best Picture. They’re shown on the same screens, and people pay the same ticket price. If it’s the best of the year, it should be given that award.

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 fi shing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.

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 break-fast, 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 are also huge board-game fanatics, because they bring the family together.

What’s the story behind your many Hawaiian shirts?

In my closet, they’re fi led by subject matter: automotive,

Pixar fi lms, Disney fi lms, trop-ical ones, sports teams. My wife, Nancy, said, “You should match your shirt to what you’re doing that day.” I always say they’re

like a toy you can wear.

and fi nely grated1½ Tbsp ground coriander1 tsp red chili powder1½ tsp salt8 oz plain yogurt, lightly whisked Pinch of saffron

1. Brown onions in butter until

deep golden. Remove with a

blender to form a paste. Crush

cardamom; mix into paste.

2. Add meat to pan; stir over

medium-high. After a few

A Father-Son Favorite

My son Milan, who is 13, loves Indian food, like his dad, and I

can cook it reasonably well if I try. My sis-ter, 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 fl avors 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 child-hood are magical memories—the koftas

(meatballs), kormas (rich curries with yo-gurt), and delicious desserts. Lamb korma is one of Milan’s absolute favorites, and mine as well.

For author Salman Rushdie, this dish recalls the deliciously spicy meals of his childhood in India

cle

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.”

P “Trim all excess fat fi rst, then cut the meat into medium-size cubes, deboning some piecesand keeping others on the bone. ”

book, Luka and

the Fire of Life, is available in

Once 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 anticipa-

tion 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 ship-

ping 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!
