Q: I was glad to see Sienna Miller in American Sniper. What’s next for this talented actress?
—Sophie L., Darien, Conn.
A: In addition to her buzz-generating roles in both American Sniper and
Foxcatcher, Miller, 33, has several more
movies in the pipeline for later this year, including Mississippi
Grind, Unfinished Business, High
Rise and Black Mass, the true story
of Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger. “I don’t care about the size of the roles,” says the native New Yorker. “I just want to be in great films.”
What has Katherine Jenkins been up to since
appearing on Dancing with the
Stars in 2012?—Courtney Morose,
Hollywood, Fla.A: The Welsh classical
music crossover artist andDWTS runner-up, 34, has been busy. “This year I got engaged and married [to sculptor-painter Andrew Levitas], became a first-time aunt, made my 10th album and got an OBE
[Officer of the Order of the British Empire] from the Queen. It’s been my best, most happy year ever. I
wanted the music on my new album, Home Sweet Home, to reflect the joy in
my heart, so it is very uplifting, inspirational
and authentic.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS...
TERRYCREWSCrews, 46, who started his career in the NFL,
now hosts TV’s syndicated Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and appears in the Sunday
night Fox comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He’s also the author of the book
Manhood ($18, Zinc Ink).
What’s the most surprising thing you’ve discovered hosting Millionaire? “How much I like people. There’s energy that comes from the audience and the uncertainty of what’s going to happen, and I love that.”
What made you write Manhood? “People kept coming up to me and my wife saying how great I was. I thought, ‘I’ve got to burst this bubble.’ I wanted to show how I am just like anyone else who had a tremendous amount of great breaks.”
Any similarities between you and Sgt. Terry Jeffords, your character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine?“He’s very emotional, and can fall in a heap on the ground and cry, or get very angry and pick up a car. He’s faithful to the people around him, his family, his friends and his co-workers.”
SUPER SNACKS What will the stars munch while watching the Super Bowl tonight?

MIKE MATHENYTO SPORTS
PARENTS: SHHHHHH!In The Matheny Manifesto ($24,Crown Archetype), former MLB Gold Glove catcher and current St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, 44, expands on the foundation he developed asa Little League baseball coach:making organized sports allabout the kids.
You say, “the biggestproblem in youth sports isthe parents.” “Yes. When you ask kids who play sports at different levels, ‘What do you want your parents to do?’The overwhelming majority say, ‘Nothing.’ Parents need to be a silent source of encouragement.”
So, no yelling or cheering atpractices or during games?“Even yelling positive things like, ‘You can do it!’ addspressure. Especially with the youngest kids. They don’t needthat. They know you’re thereand that’s enough.”
What do you want parents totake away from this book?“Only 1 percent of kids will make it to the next level [college, pro sports]. Let’s focus on the 99 percent. With kids and sports, building character is the goal.”

Heart disease is the No.1 killer in America, so it pays to know if you’re at risk. But figuring that out is a bit like reading
a Ouija board, especially if you’re a woman. The predictive value of cur-rent screening tools in women is poor, says Leslie Cho, M.D., section head of preventive cardiology and rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic. The good news: A simple new blood test may help.
The test, called the PLAC Test for Lp-PLA2 Activ-ity, measures an enzyme that’s a marker for inflammation in the ar-teries. That inflammation encour-ages the formation of plaque and plays a key role in heart attacks and strokes.
If your PLAC numbers are high, they could tip the scales in favor of treatment. “Maybe you’d be started on cholesterol medication sooner rather than later,” says Nieca Goldberg, M.D., clinical associate professor of medicine in the divi-sion of cardiology at NYU School of Medicine. Some of these medi-cations tamp down inflammation, even in people whose cholesterol levels are normal.
To Test or Not to Test? The test was first approved for peo-ple with existing heart disease, but the Food and Drug Administration recently green-lighted it, based on new data, for adults with no history of the disease. It’s most effective in
women, especially African-Ameri-can women.
If you have high cholesterol or already know you’re at increased risk for heart disease, you probably don’t need the test, says Goldberg, though it could provide a call to action. “Sometimes people need
more evidence.”Like many of
the newer heart screening tools, the PLAC Test may be most useful in people whose risk level isn’t already ob-vious, experts
say. And it likely won’t be used alone.
“It’s an additional test that we can use to screen for heart disease risk,” says Goldberg. Getting your blood pressure and cholesterol checked and being screened for other risk factors, such as diabe-tes, are still important.
“I see the greatest use of PLAC testing in recommending stroke prevention efforts,” says Stanley Hazen, M.D., Ph.D., section head of preventive cardiology and re-habilitation at Cleveland Clinic. “Clearly high blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke, but measuring BP alone is not suffi-cient to capture those at increased risk.”
If the Ouija board spells a stroke or heart attack, getting on that treadmill or throwing salmon in the pan instead of a burger might sud-denly seem worthwhile after all.

GREAT2015 PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Averaging 5 touchdowns per game his senior year, Texas powerhouse quarterback
KYLER MURRAY leads our list of America’s best high school players. He and his fellow
Parade All-Americans represent the highest level of excellence in high school athletics, on
the road to becoming gridiron legends themselves.
By Lars Anderson • Cover and opening photography by Steve Williams
The education of the quarterback began when he
was 8 years old.
On summer afternoons in Allen, Texas, Kyler
Murray and his father would run drills at a local
football field. Two of Murray’s grade-school
friends would set up as receivers and four as defensive
backs. Eyeing the line-up from a shotgun formation,
young Murray would call the signals and yell, “Go!”
Dad Kevin Murray, a standout quarterback at Texas
A&M in the 1980s, would position himself behind his
son and tell him where to pass the ball—whether to
throw a slant route, a dig, a post or an out. Over and
over, under a tar-bubbling Texas sun, Murray taught his
son the basics of “the route tree” and how to dissect a
defense based on how it lined up.
“By age 12, Kyler was reading defenses at a fairly
high level,” said his father. “Today there are very few
things a defense can do that will surprise him.”

Indeed, the young quarterback sooncame to dominate under the Friday night lights of big-time Texas high school foot-ball. His stats at Allen High speak to per-fection: He went 42-0 as a starter and led his team to three straight state champion-ships. In 14 games last season, Murray—now 5’10”, 180 pounds—threw for 3,971 yards and 45 touchdowns, and ran for another 1,409 yards and 24 touchdowns.
For this rare and relentless offensive power, we selected Murray as our 2015 Player of the Year. �e 17-year-old Texas star joins a legacy of Parade All-American quarterbacks—Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino and Peyton Manning among them—who not only distinguished them-selves in high school, but went on to become legends in college, the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. By all measures of the game, Kyler Murray is poised to do the same.
Even with the promise of a bright career ahead of him, Murray remains humble and grateful. “�e success I’ve had all goes back to my dad,” Murray says. “He gave me a
head start by teaching me the game at such a young age.”
�at head start built confidence along with All-American skills. �e crowning hour of Murray’s high school career came several weeks ago in the Texas Class 6A Division I state title game against Cypress Ranch, played before 52,308 fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Murray made it look as though he was back on the sunbaked field of his childhood, pick-ing apart the defense, passing for 316 yards and scoring five touchdowns in
Allen’s 47-16 victory. “Kyler is very, very special. Over the years
I’ve had hundreds of oh-my-did-he-just-do-that? moments with him,” says Tom Westerberg, the head coach at Allen. “At least once a game, he’d throw a pass that left you just shaking your head and smiling. He’s got so much physical ability and the mental capacity to put it all together on the field. �at comes from his dad and being around the game his entire life.”
�at father-son football legacy goes back to 1982, when Kevin Murray was named
the Dallas-Fort Worth area highschool player of the year. Later, as a sophomore at Texas A&M, he threw for 1,965 yards (then a school record) and guided the Aggies to a Cotton Bowl victory.
In the state of Texas, the elder Murray became a legend. But he views the second act of his life—grooming his son and other aspiring football players—to be his most important calling.
Not surprisingly, colleges from coast to coast have been wooing his son since he was 14. Clemson offered him a scholarship when he was a sophomore. Last July, Murray gave a verbal commit-ment to Texas A&M, his father’s alma mater. Kevin Murray soon received dozens of text messages with variations of the same joke: How does it feel to be the second-best quarterback in the family?
“I always respond that the plan all along was for Kyler to be bet-ter than me, and he will be,” says Kevin Murray. “He’s ready for whatever comes. No moment is too big for him.”
Even before he committed to A&M, Kyler Murray had be-come particularly intrigued with the incredible runs and throws of another alum, Johnny Manziel, one of 14 former Parade All- Americans who went on to win a Heisman Trophy. Murray and Manziel have become friends. “He’s like an older brother,” Murray says. “It’s great to have him on my side. �e advice he gives me is invaluable.”
As Murray’s accomplishments piled up, one thing never changed: playing catch with his dad. Even in the dark of night, the two often retreat to their T

HOW WE PICKED THE TEAM: In selecting the All-America Team, Parade contributor Brian McLaughlin, who also blogs about college football recruiting for Sporting News, considered all-state teams, state player of the year honors and statistics, as well as his own observations in person. On offense, he looked for players who had outstanding senior seasons while also exhibiting high-end college-level potential. When it came to defensive players, McLaughlin looked for elite playmakers—top athletes who could change games.

Murray made it look as though he was back on the sunbaked field of his childhood, pick-ing apart the defense, passing for 316 yards and scoring five touchdowns in
Allen’s 47-16 victory. “Kyler is very, very special. Over the years
I’ve had hundreds of oh-my-did-he-just-do-that? moments with him,” says Tom Westerberg, the head coach at Allen. “At least once a game, he’d throw a pass that left you just shaking your head and smiling. He’s got so much physical ability and the mental capacity to put it all together on the field. �at comes from his dad and being around the game his entire life.”
�at father-son football legacy goes back to 1982, when Kevin Murray was named
the Dallas-Fort Worth area highschool player of the year. Later, as a sophomore at Texas A&M, he threw for 1,965 yards (then a school record) and guided the Aggies to a Cotton Bowl victory.
In the state of Texas, the elder Murray became a legend. But he views the second act of his life—grooming his son and other aspiring football players—to be his most important calling.
Not surprisingly, colleges from coast to coast have been wooing his son since he was 14. Clemson offered him a scholarship when he was a sophomore. Last July, Murray gave a verbal commit-ment to Texas A&M, his father’s alma mater. Kevin Murray soon received dozens of text messages with variations of the same joke: How does it feel to be the second-best quarterback in the family?
“I always respond that the plan all along was for Kyler to be bet-ter than me, and he will be,” says Kevin Murray. “He’s ready for whatever comes. No moment is too big for him.”
Even before he committed to A&M, Kyler Murray had be-come particularly intrigued with the incredible runs and throws of another alum, Johnny Manziel, one of 14 former Parade All- Americans who went on to win a Heisman Trophy. Murray and Manziel have become friends. “He’s like an older brother,” Murray says. “It’s great to have him on my side. �e advice he gives me is invaluable.”
As Murray’s accomplishments piled up, one thing never changed: playing catch with his dad. Even in the dark of night, the two often retreat to their T

HOW WE PICKED THE TEAM: In selecting the All-America Team, Parade contributor Brian McLaughlin, who also blogs about college football recruiting for Sporting News,considered all-state teams, state player of the year honors and statistics, as well as his own observations in person. On offense, he looked for players who had outstanding senior seasons while also exhibiting high-end college-level potential. When it came to defensive players, McLaughlin looked for elite playmakers—top athletes who could change games.

“Kyler is a high-character young man with parents who have kept him grounded and fo-cused,” Westerberg says. “The attention never got to him, and I think that bodes well for his future.”
In the final minutes of Mur-ray’s last high school game, his third state championship, the coach sent in a backup quarter-back. As Murray jogged off the field, the crowd of more than 50,000 rose to its feet and sent a roar-like thunder into the Texas sky. It was a fitting goodbye to the nation’s top high school player.
“It’s been a heck of ride,” Westerberg yelled above the din into Murray’s ear on the sideline as the two embraced. “Soak it all in. You’ll have more of this in your future.”
“Thanks, coach,” Murray re-plied. “I can’t wait.”

When I have a cold, my voice seems lower to me. Is this actually the case?—J.H., Colleyville, TexasYes. Our voices come from the vibrations of our vocal cords, and the pitch is determined by their length and thickness. Shorter and thinner vocal cords vibrate faster and produce higher pitches that sound more female. As the vocal cords get longer and thicker (which happens to boys during puberty), they produce lower pitches that sound more male. When you have a cold that inflames this area, the vocal cords thicken a bit and make your voice temporarily lower.
Say a family has three children. What is the probability that at least one of them is a boy?—James Kelley, Hurst, TexasWhat do you think, readers? The answer is at the end of the column.
