Great quality, the tin is beautiful and the puzzle brought a lot of fun to the family!
Love it!
(Waxhaw, NC) - March 15, 2014
This is the second photo puzzle I've ordered and they are both great! It is now a tradition to have one done each year for our family vacation. We work on it together during quiet times in the condo. I do wish we could have a 1000 piece puzzle with many of our vacation pics displayed on it.

I take lots of photos of our farm and make one into a puzzle for my parents every year. These are very well done. My parents even framed one of them because the image quality was so good.
The tins are lovely also. So much better than cardboard.
The only thing I wish was that they carried 1000 piece puzzles. That the preferred piece size of my parents.

I used a picture that is square-shaped, unlike the shape of the puzzle, so I sent customer service an e-mail explaining that I would like to keep the image in it's original shape if possible. Right away I got an e-mail in return asking me if it was okay for them to fill in the extra space with black so as not to ruin the picture by cropping it. The puzzle did not take nearly as long as they said it would to arrive, and it was perfect! The personalized tin is really awesome, too!
Great Present!

My boyfriend and I love to do puzzles together so this was the perfect gift for V-day! He loved it, and we both had fun making it, overall a great present. I was also worried the photo quality might not be the best but it turned out great.
Wonderful puzzle
(Cambridge, MA) - February 8, 2012
This is the second puzzle I have ordered from PersonalizationMall.com as a gift & both times I have been delighted with the products, as I received feedback from my delighted recipients & saw the final result.
Perfect Gift!
(Auburn, WA) - January 17, 2012
This is the perfect gift for puzzle lovers! the quality was great, and my grandma LOVED IT. I was also impressed with delivery, I wasn't expecting it for 2-3 weeks, and it arrived in less than one, just in time for Christmas :)
Puzzle & Tin
(Austin, TX) - January 5, 2012
There are numerous personalized gift sites. The concept is repeatable, and each not much different than the other. Hence, what makes this one stand out? That personalized tin is just great! I don't know if anyone else does it, but I know some don't. The puzzle (our doggie) was wonderful, but it's largely a one-timer. Maybe we shellac it and hang it up, but it's done.
My daughter, however, loves the tin with the same photo of our beloved doggie. She uses it for all her keepsakes, and is proudly displayed by her bed. A really nice twofer, as far as I'm concerned.
Also, the ordering process, communication with the customer, and product delivery were flawless.
Will order from these folks again without hesitation.
Great transaction

This is a Christmas present for my Dad. He's an avid jigsaw puzzle enthusist so I didn't want to get him a puzzle with large pieces. I needed it to have at least 500 pieces to be a challenge for him. That's how I stumbled across PersonalizationMall.com.
I did a web search and looked at all the reviews for each company I found. It looked like so may people were happy with their products that I'd give them a try. I am SO glad I did.
The metal tin is a wonderful way to present this puzzle. Not only will he have a puzzle to work but a beautiful package to display. There were some little tiny dings on a couple of places on the tin but I didn't think they were worth worrying about. The puzzle pieces were nice and thick and comparable to nice quality puzzles I've purchased in the past.
All the other products I ordered from this site were in excellent shape and I will be ordering several things from here in the near future. Thanks for helping me get the perfect holiday gift this year!
What a great gift!
(maplewood, NJ) - December 4, 2011
It was very nice to see that the puzzle quality is very good! I loved the fact that the picture of the puzzle is on the top of the tin box. A lot of other companies do not provide a picture of the puzzle with the actual puzzle, what makes more challenging to put it together. The only thing I didn't like very much was that the tin box is white on the sides, and I would prefer it was a natural silver color. Not a big deal.

The family gathered together over the holiday from three different states and worked this puzzle with every emotion known to man. The quality of the puzzle was excellent and the tin container will be a valued extra to store this treasured keepsake. A puzzle from this site is a great way to recall sweet memories as you work the puzzle over and over again.

This photo puzzle is better than I could have imagined! The photo quality is amazing, and the tin it comes in is just as fabulous!! Seriously, the quality of the puzzle is top notch. I also received my order very quickly. I couldn't be more pleased. This is the first of many orders of products from this site. You won't be disappointed.

I ordered this puzzle for friends of mine in Australia who had taken a trip to Canada and Alaska. My friend sent me one of her favorite pictures and I had your company create a custom puzzle to commemorate their trip. The quality is excellent and the turnaround time was amazing. I will definitely be using your company in the future for all of my custom puzzles. Thanks again!
Great gift.

We got a puzzle made from a picture of my father on his boat. It came out great. He loves puzzles and is going to love this. Thanks.

I purchased this as a first year wedding anniversary gift for my husband. He loves working on gigsaw puzzles with me, and adding our own customized special photo made it that much more special and meaningful. I recieved it quite quickly and in excellent condition, well packaged. The quality of the product was great after examining it. There were no dents on tin container; photo on lid was great quality, print on puzzle pieces were better than I expected. Pieces fit beautifully. He was thrilled, to say the least. I would say this is a great gift idea for just about any occassion which is sure to bring a smile to anyone, and yourself.
Neat gift

The clarity of the puzzle is great and so is the clarity of the picture on the tin itself. The pieces of the puzzle are small but when you get it together it looks great. We bought this for a marketing presentation but when we received it one of the front office personal liked it so much she ordered a family picture puzzle for her mother.
The shipping time said 2 - 4 weeks.... wrong, it was received in less than 1 week.
Simply the Best!

I had "tricked" my secretary to email me the picture of her grand children that she obviously loved. It was her desktop wallpaper. When she got the tin with the puzzle she loved it. The tin alone with the picture was worth it
My only problem is how to match this idea for next year's gift
It looks like a winner

My husband and just got married and his birthday is on Valentine's Day. I thought this was a great gift the two of us could piece together. This is the largest puzzle they have on their site (meaning the amount of words) and he absolutely loved it!

we got it sooner than we were expected, that's good. It came with the tin box with our picture on it, it is like another gift besides the Puzzle. It was very easy to put the Puzzle together. The quality of the picture on the puzzle is great, not poor at all. Now, it is framed and hanging on the wall in my famly room. We were thinking of order more Photo Puzzle. Great Gift! Thanks

I bought the photo puzzle as a Christmas gift, so I haven't actually seen the puzzle, I didn't want to open the tin. If the tin is any indication, I'm sure the recipient will LOVE the puzzle! I am anxiously awaiting another Christmas gift I ordered for my sister, I can't wait to get the personalized stationery I got for her. My first order was back in August, a personalized cut-out mat/frame. I could not believe how fast I received it and it was perfect! I really like this website and would recommend it to others!

I chose Rhodes because I was looking for a close community in a completely different part of the country. It was a great choice for me, and I would advise any others from the West Coast to do the same. My college experience has been everything one could ask.
I was looking for a different culture, and I found it. There's nowhere else like Memphis! And not only did I get to experience the South, my financial aid transferred to an international business program in Belgium, where I lived for a semester with students from all over Europe. In one class, we played a sophisticated marketing game where each team functioned as the marketing manager for a product. The semester-long game applied principles I had been studying since freshman year.
I always knew I wanted to be a business major because it is practical for any career choice after graduation. The liberal arts aspect has also been very rewarding. The Life course freshman year taught me in how to articulate my feelings about religion. And an architecture course paid royal dividends when I traveled in Europe.
I have enjoyed my sorority experience, too, not just because of the great friends, but because it's an easy way to get involved in other things at Rhodes and in Memphis. Volunteering and fundraising to support the efforts of St. Jude Children′s Research Hospital have been particularly rewarding.
Most of all, it's been great to just spend time with friends, and Memphis is a great place to do it all—the occasional Grizzlies game, wonderful restaurants and hanging out on campus, downtown or by the river. After graduation I will enter a leadership training program within the Consumer Products division of L′Oreal. The program will give me exposure to multiple functions of the business and after two years I will take on a more permanent position, Throughout my job search, recruiters had consistent enthusiasm for experience abroad and an economics and business concentration in the context of a liberal arts education.

Single Light Wall Sconce from the Bohemian Marien Collection
The great dressed chandeliers of the late Georgian period in England, of which the Bohemian-Marien chandeliers are a superb example, were the height of luxury at the time, being both very expensive and intricate in their production. After their installation, the work involved in maintaining this means of lighting the domestic interior was laborious. Candles had to be continuously replaced, or trimmed and straightened after every lighting, and each bobeche and their adjacent spattered crystals cleared of wax, washed and polished. Only those in the higher levels of society could afford staff especially employed for this purpose. Specifically, a "lamp and candle man" was hired to maintain the lighting arrangements, and a small room, the "lamp and candle room" was required in the residence where all materials and equipment for this task were kept.
Today, electric lighting contributes to the minimal upkeep required to maintain the dressed crystal chandeliers without compromising the sumptuous beauty of the fixtures.
- Single light up lighting wall sconce
- Requires 1 60W Candelabra base bulb (Not Included)

High-resolution TEM image of a cross-sectional sample of an individual silver nanowire. Scale bar represents 5 nm.
A stable non-face-centered-cubic phase in noble metal nanoparticles has been reported for this first time by researchers at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (Nanophotonics & NanoBio Interfaces Groups) working with colleagues at the Advanced Photon Source and Electron Microscopy Center. By taking advantage of the availability of this collective array of the DOE Office of Science's scientific user facilities at Argonne, a stable body-centered tetragonal phase was revealed to exist in silver nanowires with fivefold twinning, even at ambient conditions.
Crystallization of noble metal atoms typically leads to the highly symmetric face-centered-cubic phase that represents the thermo-dynamically stable structure. Introducing defective microstructures into a metal crystal lattice may induce distortions to form non-face-centered-cubic phases when the lateral dimensions of objects decrease to the nanometer scale.
The body-centered tetragonal phase originates from the distortion of cubic silver lattices due to internal strains in the twinned nanowires. The lattice distortion in the center of such a nanowire is larger than that in the surfaces, indicating that the nanowire is composed of a highly strained core encapsulated in a less strained sheath that helps stabilize the strained core. This effect is expected to significantly affect the mechanical properties of the nanowires.

The Town of Perryville is close to signing an agreement with a local company to operate its boat tour business originating at Lower Ferry Pier. Town officials, however, still have lingering questions that will need to be answered before January's town meeting.
The operators of Bay Runner Tours, Fred and Marleena Lied, asked the town in November to use the pier to pick up and drop off customers during scheduled boat tours.
Since then, the town has been working with the Lieds to come up with an agreement that works for both parties.
A vote on a final agreement will be on the agenda for the Jan. 8 town meeting.
At Tuesday's work session, Commissioner Barbara Brown said she spoke to the couple that day and, while they haven't been able to go over the agreement "item by item because of the holidays," they do have a few concerns.
One concern, she continued, is a part in the agreement that states the town is not responsible for portable bathrooms.
Brown noted, however, that the town will need to provide portable bathrooms at Rodgers Tavern, which is near the pier, until there is a permanent facility and the public, including any customers, can use them.
In addition, the Lieds had a question about the need to pay for workman's compensation and if it was legally necessary.
Brown said parking still hasn't been designated for use by tour customers and doesn't want to take away parking from the tavern.
She suggested that people can park near the back entrance going to the pier or, if that is full, park across the street, which is often done for town events.
Bay Runner Tours plans to use the floating dock at the end of the pier as its pick-up and drop-off point, which will give "ample room [at the pier] for more than one boat" at a time.
Town administrator Denise Breder added that the couple plans to have temporary tables and signs to sell tickets, but nothing permanent.
Deal raises questions
Commissioner Michael Dawson, who wasn't at the November meeting when the agreement was first discussed, asked why the company won't use the local, private marina, where the boat is kept, to operate its business.
Both Mayor Jim Eberhardt and Commissioner Ray Ryan said they believe the marina doesn't allow business to be conducted there, but neither knew the specific reason. Eberhardt guessed that parking may be a factor.
Dawson also questioned what kind of tours the business would be running, asking if it was a tour around the river, a water taxi service or used for restaurant tours.
At this point, Bay Runner will take people on tours of the river, Brown said, but at some point may consider a restaurant tour or water taxi service.
"It's an act in the making," she said, "but it does go along with the idea of why we built the pier."
How will the town benefit from the tours if customers are being taken away from Perryville, Dawson asked.
"It brings people in," Commissioner Michelle Linkey answered.

ALCOA (WATE) – Three people were found shot to death late Sunday night inside an Alcoa home.Police say a murder-suicide took place around 8:41 p.m. in the 800 block of Maple Street. Investigators say Amos Turbyfill Jr., 47, shot and killed his girlfriend, Stacy Wade, 39, and her son, Joshua Demetri, 18."All three victims live there from what we can gather at this time," said Capt. Dale Boring with the Alcoa Police Dept. Investigators say Turbyfill first shot Demetri who was on the couch and then his mother wade who was in bed. He then turned the gun on himself and was found next to Wade with the gun in between them.It was Turbyfill's 21-year-old son who first found the bodies. "He had been out at a Superbowl party and discovered the three victims," said Capt. Boring.All three victims were shot in the head. It's a scene Alcoa police say they've been lucky to avoid in recent years."It's not something, thank God, we have to deal with that often in the city of Alcoa," said Capt. Boring. "This is the first homicide we've had since September 2009." Investigators still aren't certain what was the motive behind the shootings, although they did say Turbyfill was facing some extreme financial hardships in recent months.Neighbors told six news off camera they have seen police at the home in the past.Police say the most recent calls to the home were in January when Turbyfill was involved in an altercation with a man who was trying to repossess his car.
He was also arrested just this past week for a warrant involving an assault case with one of his neighbors.

Every year, some two million people visit the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Many of these visitors are youngsters having their very first experience with animals and nature right within our gates! This initial exposure can be the basis for a lifelong interest in conservation, which is a great passion to encourage in future leaders. To playfully encourage and foster enthusiasm for the natural world, we have cooked up a "tasty" idea . . .
Designed for children three to eight, the Pizza Playground at Kids' Farm draws youngsters to the Zoo's critical mission in a fun, inventive way. They can learn where food comes from as they crawl, climb, and run through the Zoo's giant Pizza Playground. Here, conservation concepts are reinforced through hands-on play.
To make our playground super deluxe, we need to raise $305,000. Of the numerous families that visit the Zoo, many with young children head straight to the Pizza Playground. We'd like to continue to give these parents the opportunity to relax and their children the chance to explore new concepts at the Pizza Playground. Donate now and help promote children's interests in conservation. With your support, we can add slides, a simulated farmer's garden, rubber play surfaces, and shade structures!
As a special thanks to those who join the Pizza Party with a donation of $100 or more, they will be invited to an exclusive VIP pizza party event when the renovations to the playground has been completed! This is one party you won't want to miss!
Don't delay! Help instill the values of conservation in the future generation. Save the Pizza Playground by donating now!

page 2 - Metering the Fuel
What's a carburetor, Grandpa?
By November 9, 2010
A Brief Word on Diesels
By contrast, let's pause here and touch on the contrasting concept of diesel fuel metering. Briefly, a diesel engine runs unthrottled. Its injected fuel alone determines its power output, a diesel's air-fuel mixture varying incredibly broadly compared to that of a gasoline engine. And, of course, there's no spark ignition with a diesel. Instead, combustion of the injected fuel is initiated by increased temperature of the highly compressed air.
Back to gasoline carburetion and its development: As operation became more sophisticated, varying engine speeds, enrichments in differing loads, cold starts, elevation changes and other aspects added accelerator pumps, idle compensation and other devices to basic carburetion. The carburetor, though, remained the metering paradigm for more than a half-century of gasoline internal combustion.
The S.U., the Weber and the Hollywood Producer Effect
In time, distinct carburetor types evolved, several still a part of today's vintage scene. Typical of British cars is the classic S.U. carburetor, as in Skinners Union, named for its inventors, G.H. and T.C. Skinner. The device controls its fuel metering by means of a metal piston rising and falling in response to the throttled partial vacuum within a light alloy dome, the piston incorporating a needle valve admitting fuel into the airflow.
The classic Weber carburetor, fitted to many Italian cars as well as others of the era, is a multi-jet twin-venturi device, the operation of which would take a half-page to describe adequately. Once properly adjusted, it's been said most owners are best equipped with rubber-tipped tools so they can pretend they're improving matters.
"If one elephant is good," noted the Hollywood producer, "then a hundred of them..." A single carburetor cannot help but be near some combustion chambers and far from others. Hence, multiple carburetion mitigates this, though it also complicates the life of anyone wishing to balance their resulting mixtures. It certainly makes for a picturesque array of underhood hardware as well.
Taking a Positive Approach:
Fuel Injection
Rather than depending on gravity to maintain a reservoir level and a partial vacuum sucking the gasoline into the airflow, why not take a positive approach and inject it?
In fact, though many experimenters fooled with the idea of gasoline fuel injection, its first widespread use was in fighter aircraft during World War II. (Previous to this, the classic wingover maneuver was a means of initiating a dive without starving the engine.)
A first automotive application came with the 1953 Gutbrod Superior 600, a diminutive and otherwise not very sophisticated 2-stroke twin; the Goliath GP700 had a similar system. Another rather better-known example was the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (its earlier competition versions were carbureted). These Bosch systems were based on existing diesel hardware, with a separate pump delivering the gasoline directly into each cylinder. (That is, "direct injection" has long been de rigueur with diesels, and was also so with these early gasoline applications.)
On this side of the Atlantic, Stu Hilborn introduced similarly mechanical injection in racing applications in the late 1940s. GM's Rochester Division had mechanical injection optionally available on the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette.
Bendix assayed electronic fuel injection in the 1957 American Motors Rambler Rebel and a year later in rather more Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth models. In marked contrast to today's systems, these were based on analog electronics (i.e., voltage-regulated), not digital maps.
With the exception of the earliest German efforts, all of these were port injection, delivering the fuel just upstream of the intake valve. A brief stunted branch of development came with "throttle-body injection," a low-cost strategy that improved the precision of metering, but did nothing for inequities of fuel distribution.
Alphabetical Soup,
Thanks to Bosch
Other variations can be characterized by the nature of their air measurement and their injection hardware. Bosch systems are excellent examples of this development: D-Jetronic circa 1967 used pressure (German: Druck) in the intake manifold and engine speed to calculate air mass and thus determine the mechanically injected fuel dosage. K-Jetronic followed in 1974; this mechanical one having direct airflow measurement and injecting fuel continuously (German: kontinuierlich) into the ports. KE-Jetronic added electronic enhancements. L-Jetronic circa 1982 featured direct measurement of air mass (German: Luftmasse) and sequential injection. LH-Jetronic replaced the flap-type airflow sensor with a hot-wire (German: Hitzdraht) approach: Cleverly enough, it calculates the mass of air indirectly by monitoring the current necessary to maintain a wire at a predetermined temperature. A later variation of this uses a hot film rather than wire. LH-Jetronic featured fully digital electronics, a standard approach in today's systems as well.
Today, Bosch uses the term Motronic to identify its integrated unit combining electronic fuel injection and ignition. These two, though, only hint at its many functions. Others shown nearby include λ-sensed closed-loop control of mixture strength for optimal catalysis, idle speed stabilization, knock sensing, EGR, secondary-air injection to reduce HC on start and warmup, evaporative emissions control and, if fitted, controlling other elements such as variable valve hardware and turbo- or supercharging.
Last, and most recently, there's DI-Motronic and its counterparts developed by other suppliers and automakersnamely, direct injection.

A Chapel Hill teen died Thursday after crashing on New Sharon Church Road in Hillsborough.
David Mayse, 19, skidded off the road and crashed, according to witnesses. His cousin, Dustin Ellis, was driving in front of Mayse when it happened. Ellis said Mayse had passed a vehicle on the wet roads before he was killed in his Chevy Cavalier.
Ellis said they were on the way to Ellis' house to get items to practice basketball.
Cammie Fielding, who was teaching students at her horse farm, Pleasant Hill Farm, where it happened, said the car was wrapped around a tree and broken in two pieces.
Fielding said the collision sounded like an explosion.
"It was almost the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. It was really upsetting for a lot of my kids, too," Fiedling said. "I had a barn full of students that I teach that were very distraught and upset after the whole thing because they saw it, they heard it."
Fielding and Ellis said Mayse, who attended Mount Hermon Baptist Church, died at the scene.
Mayse graduated from the Partnership Academy earlier this year – and received the Principal's Award.

Our hunger to seek the truth needs to be compounded by our perseverance. We need to have faith that our minds can be at peace, and that the harmony that we see in the natural world can be what we experience in our lives. At the same time, faith is not enough. There is real, persistent effort involved, and the stories handed down to us emphasize this point again and again. We are already a buddha, peace is already the nature of everything, but we must practice to see this is so. When the mind is at peace, the world is at peace.

Building the market for electric cars presents a tricky conundrum: charging. People are less likely to want to buy an electric car if they are uncertain about being able to get it charged, and charging stations are not likely to pop up to serve these vehicles if there are few electric cars around. This fear of running out of charge, "range anxiety," is a significant obstacle to more widespread adoption. I believe a forward-looking gas company can help break this logjam while also improving their market positioning. Here's how.
As a driver, keeping this meme in my head is easy. Rather than having to keep track of where the few charging stations are or having to look them up on my smart phone while driving, I just look for a Shell station. If I know that every single one will have a charger, my level of anxiety is reduced. AND, it's the most likely place I will go, because it's easy.
Granted, it takes time to charge a vehicle, more time that it takes to pump a tank of gas. Nonetheless, the peace of mind created by the knowledge that I could stop for 10-15 minutes and take on enough charge to get home could be a key piece to increasing market share. It also creates an enormously positive brand image, even if I never use it.
The marketing effort to make the availability of these stations well known serves to position this particular gas company as greener than its competitors. This strategy is far better than BPs original "Beyond Petroleum" campaign, because this one shows an actual physical commitment that the general public can see everyday right with their own eyes. Everyone: not just those with electric vehicles. The brand value of this would be enormous. This branding strategy is likely to increase market share among regular drivers who are environmentally minded, because they appreciate the environmental commitment of the parent company.
Although another ubiquitous type of shop (Starbucks?) could do this as well, gas stations are the sensible choice. For one, they have the money to invest in this. It would take a few million to really do correctly, but I have little doubt that the brand enhancement would more than make up for the costs, even if the bottom line profit from the stations themselves never did.

International Transfer Applicants
International transfer application procedures are the same as those for international first-year applicants. All of the same deadlines and financial aid restrictions apply. International transfer applicants should contact Joshua Smith, International Admission Coordinator, with questions.
The Whitman Admission Committee will consider applications from international transfer students currently enrolled in colleges and universities abroad or at a U.S. college or university; however, priority is given to students who are applying after completing their secondary education with the intention of completing their first undergraduate degree at Whitman in four years. As space in the class and funding for international students is limited, the Admission Committee focuses its efforts on students who will be members of the community for a full four years.

Edgewood approached its season-opening game Friday at Atholton with a David vs. Goliath mindset.
"We knew that it was going to be a tough game because we know there's a huge feeder program in Howard County with the Stampede and that a lot of girls play club," said Edgewood coach Carolyn Wiland.
By contrast, her team has just one club player and only two — both freshmen — who have played field hockey before high school.
On its home turf field, Atholton's skill advantage won out, 19-1. The Raiders are the defending Class 3A state champions.
Rachel Day, Jen Bleakney and Katie Fales, each had four goals, as Atholton kept Edgewood's defense on its heels.
Rams' keeper Lissette Yeargain had a career-best 24 saves.
"We're used to taking the score and having fun and learning from every game," said Edgewood's Julianne Reif, who scored on her team's only shot of the day. "I'm glad it wasn't a shutout; we gave them something."
Atholton, which substituted frequently, had nine goals in the first half and 10 in the second. Most of the goals came off of field play; only two were from corners.
"We don't have the background (that Atholton does), but (my players) are doing amazing for what they have to do. They have huge hearts. …They weren't necessarily looking for a win, but what can I learn from this team to take with me into the season," Wiland said.
Atholton also learned things.
"This game shows how much potential we have," Day said. "We didn't expect us to play this well. Every single player on the field stepped up."
The Raiders have a point to make, said Bleakney. "We want to prove to people that it wasn't a fluke that we won last year and that we had the passion and the power, that we gave it our all and that we can do it again this year."
Day and Bleakney have both improved from a year ago and they make a formidable front-line presence.
"They are working together and it's really making a big difference," said Atholton coach Martie Dyer.
The number of goals the Raiders scored in the game didn't impress Bleakney as much as "the tenacity and consistency of the play, picking up our effort with our (ultimate) goal in mind."
The Raiders plan to still be playing in November, but Mt. Hebron is next up on their schedule. That game is Tuesday at Mt. Hebron.

In the sports world, Lewis Katz used his ability to see the future to create one, helping build one of the most lucrative sports networks in the world.
At The Philadelphia Inquirer, he hoped to establish a future for the moribund newspaper after years of declining profits and shrinking news coverage.
That vision came to a tragic end Saturday night when the Cherry Hill native was among seven people killed on a flight that crashed as it departed from Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass., on its way to Atlantic City International Airport.
Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli and Freeholder Jeffrey Nash, in a statement released soon after the crash, said Katz "dedicated much of his life to giving back a tremendous amount of attention and resources" to his home region."It is with profound sadness we say goodbye to a former freeholder who labored to improve the city and county through his philanthropy and compassion," the statement read.
Katz, 72, acquired full possession of the Philadelphia Media Network, which includes the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com, within the past week.
He and H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest won a power struggle, outbidding a group led by Democratic powerbroker George Norcross. Their winning bid was $88 million, a victory that surprised Katz in a meeting with employees this week.
Much like he did when he presided over a New Jersey Nets team that won two Eastern Conference champions, Katz's goal was to return the Inquirer to its former glory with in-depth journalism — the same kind of work that helped the newspaper win a bundle of Pulitzer Prizes in the 1970s and 1980s.
The organization was shrouded in turmoil for the past few years while under the partial ownership of Norcross. A simmering rivalry between Katz and Norcross came to a head when Katz filed a lawsuit against the group in the fall when Editor William K. Marimow was suddenly fired.
In his suit, Katz said Norcross needed his vote to enforce the termination. When a judge agreed, Marimow was reinstated.
Katz served as a Camden County Freeholder from 1972 to 1976 and, after that, worked to enhance Camden through philanthropic donations, collaborating with the First Nazarene Baptist Church on South Eighth Street and the Boys and Girls Club in Parkside that bears his name.
The Cherry Hill attorney, however, burst onto the public scene soon after he purchased the New Jersey Nets, when he played a major role in the television merger between the New York Yankees and the Nets that resulted in the creation of the regional YES sports network in 2002.
In 2012, News Corp. acquired nearly half of the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network, which broadcasts New York Yankees games. Forbes valued the network then at $3.4 billion.
He transformed the NBA's Nets from an also-ran franchise in the late 1990s to a two-time Eastern Conference champion by hiring a managerial staff that traded for future hall-of-famer Jason Kidd. He also owned the NHL's New Jersey Devils.
He grew up in Camden, where was raised by his mother after his father died.
The Katz Jewish Community Centers (Katz JCC) in Cherry Hill and Margate were named in honor of Katz's parents, Betty and Milton Katz.
His ex-wife, Marjorie, contributed significantly to Jewish causes before her death. Lewis and Marjorie had two children together, but were separated before her death.
His son Drew is the Chief Executive of Interstate Outdoor Advertising, a Cherry Hill billboard company.
Recently, Lewis Katz was involved in a relationship with Inquirer City Editor and veteran investigative reporter Nancy Phillips.
He was a member of the Board of Governors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. He built a Boys and Girls Club that now serves over 3,000 people in the Parkside neighborhood in which he grew up. He also gave money to rebuild churches in Camden.
He built his fortune by investing in the Kinney Parking Company.
According to his businessweek.com profile, he was also an investor at Gabriel Investments.

PORT ST. LUCIE -- The city of Port St. Lucie's efforts to support Brittany's Law are leading to success as the proposed legislation won unanimous support Thursday in the Florida House of Representatives.
The idea for the law began with Officer Robert Steinkraus, who was one of the Port St. Lucie police detectives who handled the Brittany Carleo case. She was killed in 2006 by a convicted sex offender who had been harassing her. Mr. Steinkraus testified to the Florida Senate and House about the case and proposed law.
Mr. Steinkraus explained his concerns to Ms. Faiella, who introduced him to Rep. Gayle Harrell, who initiated the bill. The House passed HB 7035 by a vote of 119-0 on Thursday, May 2, and it now will be sent to the Governor.
In December, the city council unanimously agreed to add Brittany's Law to the city's legislative agenda, meaning it became a priority for them to seek support of the law at the state level.
Council members have heavily supported the law since its inception three years ago and have been encouraging its passage ever since.
"The terrible tragedy of 17-year-old Brittany Carleo happened in our community, so we felt this issue personally in Port St. Lucie," said Ms. Faiella. "We are very thankful for their overwhelming support of our initiative, and we hope this prevents future tragedies and help gives Brittany's family closure."
Mayor JoAnn M. Faiella has been to Tallahassee personally to explain to lawmakers the importance of the law to the city. Mayor Faiella said she is thankful to her colleagues on the City Council, the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities and the Treasure Coast Council of Local Governments for their support on this important legislation.
She is planning a proclamation for Brittany's family to help them understand that their loss will be used to help prevent similar tragedies in other families in the future.

Littlerock Man Charged With Murder In Fatal Pit Bull Attack [1]
A Palmdale man is being charged with murder, as the alleged owner of four pit bulls who fatally attacked a Little Rock woman.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts [4] delivered right to your inbox.
Alex Jackson, 29, of Littlerock, is being charged with murder and held in lieu of $1,050,000 bail.
Pamela Devitt was walking in the desert by her Littlerock home Thursday, May 9, at 9:30 a.m., when she was suddenly attacked by a pack of four pit bulls, according to a Sheriff's Department statement.
A passerby saw the dogs mauling the victim and called 9-1-1.
When a deputy arrived on scene, he saw there was a pit bull still engaged in attacking the victim.
The deputy was able to chase the dog away and summoned paramedics, who were in the process of transporting and treating the victim when she succumbed to her injuries.
During their investigation, Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau investigators recovered eight dogs, six pit bulls and two mixed breeds, from Jackson's Littlerock home. Four of the pit bulls were believed to be involved in the attack.
Further examination of the pit bulls revealed they had what appeared to be blood on their coats and muzzles.
On May 11, an examination by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office was conducted on victim Pamela Devitt to determine her cause of death.
The cause of death was blood loss attributed to sharp force trauma, according to the Coroner's Office.
The sharp force trauma was caused by the dog attack where the victim sustained approximately 150-200 puncture wounds. DNA tests were conducted on the blood found on the pit bulls and those tests revealed that the blood on the dogs belonged to the victim, Pamela Devitt.
The case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and on May 29, 2013, the District Attorney filed charges of Murder on 29 year-old Alex Jackson, who is the owner of the dogs. On May 30, 2013, Suspect Jackson was arrested at his residence and booked at Palmdale Sheriff's Station for murder.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Lieutenant Corina, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500 [5] or if you wish to remain Anonymous, call "LA Crime Stoppers" by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org [6].

Hawks at Oilers, G29/08-09
Until that Russian guy scores 700, Bobby Hull is my pick for the best LW, all-time. I'd have him lining up alongside 99 at center, Howe on RW, Orr and Lidstrom on D and Hasek in goal.
I don't care if the rest of the roster is 15 Rob Schremp's, my team wins the Stanley.
Chicago has more young talent than you can shake a stick at and everyone agrees the Hawks are headed down the right track.
The problem is that everyone said the same thing about the 1981 Minnesota North Stars, too. Just because an organization collects a bunch of talent doesn't mean it'll come together or that management will make the right decisions. Injuries, a nutty coach, an offer sheet, there are plenty of things that could go wrong in the Windy City.
Having said that I like their coach and this team appears to be loaded and ready for a long run. The blueline alone has all kinds of future and the forwards have terrific skill. They have no idea how good they are, which is one good thing for Oilers fans.
Edmonton has been playing well lately, getting positive results for over a week now. Talk of MacT getting shoved out have died down (for the time being) and the top line is scoring goals. Roloson is coated in Crazy Glue and the defense seems to have found its way.
It's all just smoke and mirrors. The Oilers are relying heavily on a 50-year old goalie, a defense that needs Souray, Staios and Grebeshkov and 11 kids who don't shave up front. PLUS, they sent Schremp out which means the secondary offense from the bottom of the order can't elp the 3-4-5 guys.
The only question tonight is when do the Oilers bring in a reliever.

In Shadow Prey, the crackling sequel to Rules of Prey, Twin Cities Sleuth Lucas Davenport teams up with NYPD Lieutenant Lily Rothenberg to track down an elusive killer, known only as Shadow Love. Among the victims are a Minneapolis slumlord, a judge from Oklahoma City, and a Manhattan politician. The murder weapon is a Native American ceremonial knife.
©1990 John Sandford (P)2012 Recorded Books
" I have my mind... & a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." -T.L.
"Top 3 out of his 23 Davenport Novels"
All the Davenport Novels are worth a read, this particular book is great because it revolves around a younger, crazier, slutty, always manipulative Lucas, a group of fugitives that are both interesting & dangerous, & many of Davenports close friends in the future are cementing they're loyalties from these earlier novels. For some reason I read so many of the other Prey novels before I came back & read this one which is technically the 2nd in the series... It was worth it almost to the point I wish I read it earlier. But all his books are great & the development of Lucas & his family all take place throughout the series but this book is still in the stages before he had to worry about another woman, kids, politics, & future responsibilities I ended up reading at almost the same time because I was reading Silken Prey shorty after....
Highly recommend this book... LUCAS is establishing why he is such a bada$* & has the reputation he does....
Comic Collector
"Lucas Davenport = Great"
Davenport, suspenseful, exciting
While I guess Davenport but another character, it would be Lily. I enjoy the whole cast of characters in the Prey novels though.
I have read most of the Prey series and love it. Am going back and listening to them in order. This is his second book. The narration is excellent. Does not disappoint. I highly recommend this series.
"One of Sandford's Best"
Lucas...he is the meat of the story. He makes the series. and Lily was sensational.
Too many to choose
Absolutely, I stay up all night listening.
Richard Ferrone is an awesome narrator. He makes All of the Prey Books ":come alive". I hope he is ALWAYS the narrator of the Prey series One of the best stories in the Prey Serie s..This was an exciting book with a lot of action. The story was interesting and riveting.. I highly recommend this Prey Book.
Why ever would I do that?
"Sandford and Ferrone - Match Made in Heaven"
Is it possible to fall in love with an author/narrator/protagonist combo? Yes, indeed. Sandford, Ferrone and that sometimes naughty Davenport rock the story.
John Sandford used incredibly good judgment choosing Richard Ferrone. Long live authors who "listen" to their own books being read!
"Oldie but Goodie"
Exciting, sarcastic, fun
When Lucas first meets Shadow in the apartment
Richard Ferrone has become Lucas Davenport. His voice brings the right amount of edge, sarcasm and humor. He is a great narrator.
Yes if only I could.
So happy that the old Prey novels have been released in this fashion with Richard Ferrone reading them. Hats off to John Sandford, great author.
"Another Winner"
Good story and great narrator. I hope the author and the narrator keep this up!
I am a college professor and professional actor, director and playwright. The peformance of the book is as important to me as the writing.
"mildly entertaining but hokey"
I have loved John Sandford but this one was pretty lame. Predictable romance that was very melodramatic and a convoluted story that I really didn't find compelling.
Author of the Reno McCarthy and Harry Cork Series
"Lucas Davenport Continues to Thrive"
One of the best in the Prey series. Subtle yet compelling and with a suspenseful plot. Richard Ferrone is a forceful and very listenable narrator.
"Is there a point?"
Lack of focused story line.
Better character development, improve flow of story line.
Is there a point here or is the author being paid by the word?
This book has an interesting story to tell, but that is the end of what's good about this book.The storyline wanders in and around without really developing characters and never seems to get to the point. Never ending meaningless dialogue and a disjointed storyline made this book tedious and no worth finishing.
"I'm done with the series"
I was ready to settle into a new series starring Lucas Davenport. I liked Rules of Prey a lot. But this one was a put-off on several levels. I felt like the author wrote about native Americans without knowing very much about them. (Contrast this with the Tony Hillerman books) However, he included all of the "no good" stereotypes. We had drunken, drugged, miserable Indian characters in this tale, not one of whom inspired any real interest or worth for the plot. But it was the Lucas character that left me disgusted....the way he uses women with no regret. He just goes on about how he loves women, can't help it, and...implied...."take it or leave it." He's now a father...but that changes nothing. I felt sympathy for the New York lady cop who fell into step with this character and cries and begs at the end. Not fun to read. I'm not easily put off by personality flaws. So many great characters in other action novels are deeply flawed....Like Jo Nesbo's Harry....but this Lucas guy just bugs me!!!
"Sandford's Prey series is superb except this one"
The Prey series is a truly wonderful collection of books. Davenport is a complex character in the best of ways. He is a dodgy, reckless, self made rich guy with some unpleasant traits but he sure is fun. Intelligent friends and fellow cops add more humour and insight into the dark situations the barking mad criminals create. The descriptive writing is beautiful and thoughtful too, never jumping to simplistic assumptions about the forces that drive human beings.
The audiobooks are just as they should be - unabridged and most importantly, read by the same excellent reader. When you have such a rich collection of characters as this you obviously form ideas and images about them. Changing the reader of a series is unbelievably stupid. It ruins continuity, and the rhythm and pace of the entire book. It is like turning the TV on to watch Inspector Morse and finding that he's played by an unknown actor.
So, what is wrong with this one? It is the second Prey book and was the only one not recorded at the time. Perhaps because is was no good? It is drawn out with a weak storyline, a tedious sexual affair and unfocused baddies. All the things that John Sandford's Prey books are not, usually.
Please don't judge the Prey series by this one. The best in the series in my opinion are two of the best books I have ever heard, the two Rinker books, Certain and Mortal Prey. There's not enough room or time here to do them justice. Perhaps it is best to start at the begining with Rules of Prey and omit this one.

India is asking the same old question after news reports said Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday before a possible cabinet reshuffle later this month: will Gandhi be one of the cards in his deck?
Gandhi's entry into the government would be the only opportunity for him to prove that he has what it takes to one day rule India. He's seen as the prime-minister-in-waiting, and a cabinet post would better equip him to deal with the hurly-burly of Indian politics.
Several cabinet posts are vacant, and some cabinet ministers hold additional portfolios. And even after passing market-moving reform measures, Congress' task of boosting its public image is incomplete.
If you go by age, Gandhi is 42, just about ripe. David Cameron became the youngest prime minister of Britain at 44. When Barack Obama took over as the 44th American president, he was 47. Gandhi's grandmother and India's first woman to serve as prime minister, Indira Gandhi, was appointed Congress president when she was in her early 40′s.
But Rahul has never expressed willingness to join the government or lead the Congress party. He wants to work with the people. The Uttar Pradesh poll disaster, in which the Congress party suffered a major setback, perhaps makes it more attractive for him to take the humble approach.
