“Good Losers” takes us to a small Midwestern town called Coral. It has only had its own high school for five years and its football team has never won a single game, going 0-45. On top of that, their head football coach has just quit only a few weeks before the start of fall football practice to take a teaching job in another state. Enter Coach Henry Gayton, a highly successful but now retired Hall of Fame head college football coach who lives in Coral. Discouraged at first with the lack of talent, Coach is determined to make them into winners. The only really talented player, initially, is Dexter Middleton. But building a whole team around a lineman, even a great one, is very difficult. Along the way, Coach is able to add several players to the team and this is the story of how this group of “losers” came together to become not only a team but a family. This story has been floating around in the back of the author’s mind for over 40 years and now he would like to share it with you. There are sad parts, happy parts, and funny parts. Hopefully, you will have as much fun reading it as the author had writing it.

The hypothesis of this research was that by stretching microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes, their performance, in terms of flux and rejection, could be improved. Stretching a membrane was envisioned to stretch its pores, or change the aspect ration of the pores. It was thought that changing the aspect ratio could lead to improved flux (by increasing the pore area) while also improving the rejection of particles (by decreasing the length of the minor axis). The objective of this research was to study the effects of uniaxial stretching of microporous membranes (and thereby change the aspect ratio) on their performance (measured in terms of flux and particle rejection).

Keepi-ng Love of Wisdom Alive by R. Lloyd Mitchell is a book about the continuous efforts of dedicated people to keep philosophy alive - the love of wisdom - at Washington and Jefferson College, not only as an academic subject but also as the spirit of every subject in a liberal arts education. This book records these efforts, from the college's founding in the late 18th century to the present, as the college itself changed from a small all-male, church-related school to a modern, co-educational, independent liberal arts college with numerous outstanding pre-professional programs. Larger changes in American higher education are also noted in the Foreword.
