Baier wanted to honor Legate, and found a special way to celebrate the young man who had inspired so many people at South – one last at bat.
A civil lawsuit isn’t great news for Smollett, who is accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself, if he just wants to put this saga behind him. It will be costly, it will keep this story in the news for potentially years to come and he’ll be deposed and have to fully detail his side of the attack. Further, “to the city’s advantage, the threshold for proving he staged the incident will be lower than in criminal court,” reports the Associated Press. “The city won’t have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Smollett staged the attack in civil court, only that it’s more likely true than not true that he did.”

The new, air-filled polymer, dubbed expanded PTFE, promised much more than savings. Lighter and yet stronger than regular PTFE, ePTFE and its tiny pores proved perfect for capturing both helpful and harmful substances. Many engineering problems are about letting certain things in while keeping others out, and Gore’s researchers swiftly set to policing the world’s structural borders. Within a few years the company was making Gore-Tex air purifier filters and then prosthetic blood vessels for bypass operations. The polymer’s pores provided a space for the recipient’s own cells to grow into, while its chemical inertness reduced the risk of inflammation and infection. ePTFE’s flexibility and resilience allowed the grafts to survive for decades in the high-impact environment that is the human body.
As the load on the ratchet and webbing exceeded the WLL and started approaching the unit’s Breaking Strength, extensive stretching of the polyester webbing was evident. In fact, just prior to failure, the entire ratchet webbing assembly stretched and elongated more than 17 inches from its original length.

Over time, Gore engineers became mad rolfers of ePTFE, perfecting a set of esoteric techniques to tune its molecular structure and, thereby, its capabilities. They learned how to make it stronger, or thinner, or as pillowy as meringue. They combined it with other polymers to make a fabric that allowed hazmat suits to vent heat and perspiration. They adjusted its pore size so it could hold particles of mercury-trapping carbon for Gore-brand smokestack filters. They created stents and surgical patches, high-tension ropes for deep-water oil rigs, and premium dental floss (a silky tendril marketed as Glide). The company grew and grew, crossing $1 billion in revenue in 1996, $2 billion in 2007, and $3 billion in 2012. Today it’s at $3.7 billion.
Considering where these fishes live, such tests may not even be possible, Musilová says. When brought to the surface, âmost of them simply die due to the pressures changes,â she says. âEven getting them to the surface alive doesnât guarantee they would behave the same way they do in the depths.â
