Caron Butler plays basketball with an edge. He trains mercilessly, studies intently, and plays tenaciously. A winning mindset accompanies his competitive drive, and he approaches every situation with a positive attitude. He is receptive to his coaches and to his teammates, he is reliable on and off the court, and he constantly thinks about what he can do to benefit the team and his community. Butler defends the basket with ferocity and challenges anyone who stands in his way.&nbsp;
This commitment to aggressive yet passionate play led former coach Eddie Jordan to give Butler the nickname “Tuff Juice.” It is this style of play that has solidified Butler as one of the most prominent forwards in the game today. Though Butler now finds himself as an NBA league veteran, the road to becoming a successful basketball player was not an easy one for him. He came from a troubled background, growing up on the streets of Racine, Wisconsin.&nbsp;
He was a standout basketball player at Racine Park High School, but playing professional basketball and getting out of Racine did not even seem within the realm of possibility, especially considering the propensity he had for running into trouble with the law. However, Butler credits his trouble-ridden past for providing him with the motivation he needed to transform his life. He says one of the most defining moments was watching his mother’s eyes as he rode away in the back of a squad car, the last of fifteen times before he turned 15.&nbsp;
After seeing her pain, he knew he had to change. With a renewed enthusiasm and hunger for success, Butler moved to Maine to attend Maine Central Institute. During his years there, Butler polished his game and earned a scholarship to play for Coach Jim Calhoun at the legendary Big East powerhouse, the University of Connecticut. Before he even started a game for the Huskies, Butler demonstrated his competitive spirit as he worked out and lost 15 pounds off of his six foot seven-inch frame in order to improve his agility.&nbsp;
He showed up to camp ready to compete, and compete he did. As a freshman, Butler led the entire team in scoring and rebounding with 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. The summer between his freshman and sophomore year at UConn, Butler helped lead the United States to a gold medal in one of the most prestigious international basketball tournaments, the 2001 FIBA World Championship for Young Men. He returned to UConn with an even greater competitive edge.&nbsp;
Averaging 20.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, Butler led UConn to an outright Big East Championship in 2002. He was named Co-Big East Player of the Year and made Second-Team, All-American. His leadership and dominant play also helped the Huskies advance to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. In 2016, the UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball team inducted Caron into the “Huskies of Honor,” where he became the 24th member.
Following a strong sophomore year at UConn, Butler declared for the 2002 NBA Draft. He was a lottery pick in the draft, selected tenth overall by the Miami Heat. During his rookie season, he caught the attention of the entire league. He averaged 15.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, which helped him earn Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors four times. As only the sixth player in league history to receive the honor four times or more, Butler joins the company of players such as Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan.&nbsp;
By the end of the season, Butler led the Heat in points (1,201), steals (134), minutes played (2,528), field goals made (429), field goals attempted (1,032), free throws made (309), and free throws attempted (375). He also held a team record of 65 games with double-figure scoring. The league took note of his outstanding rookie campaign as he finished third in the NBA Rookie of the Year balloting.
Butler expected to build off of his tremendous rookie season, but he was forced to sit out of several games in the 2003-2004 Season due to injuries. He still managed to score double figures 33 times and led the Heat to a playoff appearance. Starting only thirteen games for the Heat, he averaged 12.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.15 steals per game. He also grabbed the attention of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Butler became a crucial part of the blockbuster deal that moved Shaquille O’Neal from the West to the East. On July 14, 2004, Butler was traded along with Lamar Odom, Brian Grant, and two draft picks to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Shaq. During Butler’s first stint in Los Angeles, he started 77 games and averaged 15.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.&nbsp;
His game caught fire in the latter half of the 2004-2005 Season as he upped his average to 21.9 points per game in the final 12 games of the season. He ended up among the league’s best again, ranking 40th in overall scoring, 23rd in steals, and 17th in free throws. Before the start of the 2005-2006 Season, Butler was traded along with Chucky Atkins to the Washington Wizards for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit.

Neil Richard Gaiman was born on November 10, 1960, in Portchester, England. He originated from a family of Eastern European Jewish descent. His father, David Bernard Gaiman, worked at their family chain of stores, while his mother, Sheila Gaiman, was a pharmacist. In 1965 the family moved to East Grinstead, West Sussex, where Neil grew up with a profound love for reading, beginning as early as age 4.&nbsp;
Some of his favorite childhood books include J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Batman, and other comics. Gaiman received early education at various church schools, including Fonthill School in East Grinstead, Ardingly College, and Whitgift School in Croydon.
When Gaiman began to outgrow comic books in his teenage years, he realized the lack of comic books for an older mature audience. He, therefore, decided to fill the gap himself. Although he wanted to write comic books, Gaiman had little idea how to go about it. Following his graduation from high school in 1977, Gaiman became a journalist writing articles for a number of renowned publications such as the Sunday Times, the Observer, Knave, and Time Out.&nbsp;
In March 1985, Gaiman married McGrath after the birth of their son Michael in 1983. The couple had two more children, Holly and Madeleine. In 1984, Gaiman wrote his first book, a biography of the band Duran Duran. He continued writing articles and interviews in magazines under pseudonyms. However, in 1987, Gaiman waved goodbye to journalism, stating, “British newspapers can make up anything they want and publish it as fact.”&nbsp;
Also, in the late 1980s, Gaiman published Don’t Panic: The Official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Companion. Gaiman started writing comic books, continuing the series of Marvelman after its original creator and Gaiman’s friend Alan Moore abandoned it. After his impressive work on Marvelman, Gaiman was offered to write the limited series of Black Orchard and also to re-write an old character, The Sandman. From December 1988 to March 1966, Gaiman produced work on The Sandman, which was later collected in 12 volumes.&nbsp;
More significant comic works by Neil Gaiman include The Books of Magic (1989), Lady Justice, and Mr. Hero. The Newmatic Man, Teknophage, Tales of the White Wolf, Whatever happened to the Caper Crusader, as well as contributions to Wednesday Comics.

Marcella Hazan (née Polini; April 15, 1924 – September 29, 2013) was an Italian cooking writer whose books were published in English. Her cookbooks are credited with introducing the public in the United States and the United Kingdom to the techniques of traditional Italian cooking. Chefs and fellow food writers considered her to be the doyenne of Italian cuisine. Hazan was born in 1924 in the town of Cesenatico in Emilia-Romagna.&nbsp;
She earned double undergraduate degrees in natural sciences and biology from the University of Ferrara and the University of Padua. She began her career as a science teacher. In 1955 she married Victor Hazan, an Italian-born, New York-raised Sephardic Jew who subsequently gained fame as a wine writer, and the couple moved to New York City a few months later.
She began by using cookbooks from Italy but then realized that her clear memory of the flavors she had tasted at home allowed her to reproduce them herself. "Eventually, I learned that some of the methods I adopted were idiosyncratically my own," she recalled, "but for most of them, I found corroboration in the practices of traditional Italian cooks."
Hazan began giving cooking lessons in her apartment and opened her own cooking school, the School of Classic Italian Cooking, in 1969. In the early 1970s, Craig Claiborne, then the news editor of the New York Times, asked her to contribute recipes to the paper. She published her first book, The Classic Italian Cook Book, in 1973. In 1980, having been published in a version adapted for a British readership by Anna Del Conte, it won an André Simon Award. A sequel, More Classic Italian Cooking, followed in 1978; the two were collected in one volume, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, in 1992.&nbsp;
Her 1997 book Marcella Cucina won the James Beard Foundation book award for Best Mediterranean Cookbook and the Julia Child Award for Best International Cookbook the following year. She wrote in Italian, and her husband translated her books. Hazan's cookbooks concentrate on strictly traditional Italian cookery, without American or British influence. To that end, her recipes call for ingredients typical of the Italian home (with some concessions for ones not readily available outside Italy).&nbsp;
They are also designed to fit into an Italian menu of two balanced 'principal courses' followed by a salad and dessert. Although Hazan prefers the painstaking approach of both preparing food by hand rather than machine and cooking it on burners atop the stove rather than in the oven, her recipes can yet be simple, one of the most popular of them (by her own report) consisting simply of a chicken roasted with two lemons in its cavity. Her celebrated recipe for Italian tomato sauce is frequently cited by the cooking section of the New York Times.
Hazan has been credited with starting a craze for balsamic vinegar, something she later regretted because she thought people were overusing it. Craig Claiborne said of Hazan's work, "No one has ever done more to spread the gospel of pure Italian cookery in America." The food critic Jeffrey Steingarten, who once traveled to the Hazans' second home in Venice for a cooking lesson, predicted that Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking "will become the essential Italian cookbook for an entire generation."&nbsp;
In a review of Marcella's Italian Kitchen for salon.com, Craig Seligman criticized Hazan's "impatient and judgmental tone" but added: "... her recipes are so beautiful and so reliable and, most of the time, so brilliantly simple that what can you do but venerate her and love her in spite of herself?"&nbsp;
In 1998, Hazan retired from her cooking school, and she and Victor moved to Longboat Key, Florida. There Hazan found that she could no longer get some of the Italian ingredients she had taken for granted in New York, and she decided to write a cookbook for people in the same situation. The result was Marcella Says ..., published in 2004.
Hazan taught courses at the French Culinary Institute. In 2003 she was made a Knight of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity. Marcella Hazan died in Longboat Key, Florida, on September 29, 2013. Her son, Giuliano, is also a noted cookery writer and teacher.
