Chase Provides Details For Tapping Up To $5 Billion In Additional Capital For Businesses Impacted By Superstorm Sandy
Chase today further outlined specifics for businesses impacted by Superstorm Sandy to take advantage of the company's commitment to lend up to $5 billion in additional capital. They include:
- Any business impacted by Superstorm Sandy can apply for expedited credit by calling 1-800-CHASE38 (1-800-242-7338), visiting a Chase branch, or contacting their banker
- Special pricing and benefits may be available to qualifying businesses applying by January 31, 2013
- Lending is part of overall support including $5 million in charitable support, waived fees, extended services
In the past two weeks, Chase Business Bankers have called nearly 90,000 customers in the storm's path to inquire about their well-being and ask how Chase can help.
"We realize many business owners may still be assessing Sandy's impact on their operations, and our message is that we're here to help," said Scott Geller, CEO of Chase Business Banking.
The $5 billion capital commitment to small and mid-sized businesses is on top of ongoing business lending at Chase. In the first three quarters of 2012, Chase extended $15 billion of credit nationally to businesses with under $20 million in annual revenue. As the leading SBA lender in the northeast and the nation, Chase works closely with the U.S. Small Business Administration on disaster recovery and other programs.
About Chase Chase is the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), a leading global financial services firm with assets of $2.3 trillion and operations in more than 60 countries. Chase serves more than 50 million consumers and 4 million small businesses through more than 5,500 bank branches, 17,500 ATMs, credit cards, mortgage offices, and online and mobile banking as well as through relationships with auto dealerships.

Why the world of work is not enough for today's graduates
The traditional image of a gap year student may be an 18-year-old Hooray Henry, but the demographic of those taking years out is changing rapidly. Today's gapper is as likely to be a 20-something as a teenager, and they can come from any social background. One particular boom area is recent graduates.
The traditional image of a gap year student may be an 18-year-old Hooray Henry, but the demographic of those taking years out is changing rapidly. Today's gapper is as likely to be a 20-something as a teenager, and they can come from any social background. One particular boom area is recent graduates.
"The number of people taking gap years after university is growing," says Tom Griffiths, founder of gapyear.com. "People are coming out of university, and they are just not getting the jobs they want."
This is partly because the average student simply doesn't have the skills that employers are looking for. "These days, recruiters are after life skills," says Griffiths. "Which means organisational skills, communication skills and evidence of motivation and drive." All things which degrees might not give you, but which a gap years would.
"Employers really go for gap years," says Griffiths. "So they want to take on those who have done them." Not even the mounting debts that today's 20-somethings face - the average student graduates with debts of around £10,000 - are not enough to scare potential gappers.
"The generation coming through is very much of the 'live now, pay later' mindset," says Griffiths. "We're all in debt, but no-one is bothered by it." He doesn't even think that the increase in student debts caused by top-up fees will make a difference.
Having been subjected to major examinations each year every year, since they were 16, many of today's graduates feel in serious need of some rest before they start work.
Victoria Evans, 22, studied English Literature at Cardiff University and is just one such student. "I found university quite stressful," she says. "Largely because I put a lot of stress on myself - I wasn't happy unless I achieved very high grades. So after university I felt so weary that I just wanted a complete break from every kind of work."
Victoria decided to take a year off and went out to South Africa for three months to work in a game reserve. She is certain that it was the right decision. "My gap year was a huge pressure release for me," she says. "It was just so completely different from university: there was no stress, and no pressures. You were just encouraged to make a positive difference in any way you could. It was wonderful."
But gap years can do much more than help you to get a job: they can also help to change the way you view the world - and yourself.
"When I was in South Africa, I underwent something of an emotional leap," says Victoria. "I'm a lot more adventurous now. I used to think that the world was such a horrible and frightening place, but I went over there and I realised that I could cope, and that the world really isn't that bad at all. I'm going to New Zealand next year."

In 2008 we purchased a storm door. We were told that if we purchase this selection and have Lowes installed the door, everything will be covered for the lifetime of the door.
A couple of months ago, the door started to not close so we contacted Lowes. They sent someone to look at the door then called us a few days later and told us we have to pay for parts.
I told them we were told installation and lifetime of the door. They told us, installation is only for a year and Lifetime means the FRAME of the door, not the parts on the door. Isn't the door consist of the frame, screen, glass that's make up the door?!?!? WTF!?!?
She then proceed to tell me they would never have said such a thing to us and if I have proof to back myself up. I told her, that was just poor customer service and if she has proof that this wasn't said to me when I bought the door?!?!.
I felt they have suckered and lied me into purchasing a door and using their installers when we could have done it ourself. Oh yeah, Lowes CS said "we gave you that option to install it yourself". I said "you guys told us if we let your installer install the door, its all warranted".
Thanks Lowes!! Now I have to find my 2008 paperwork to read the fine freakin line. Thought Lowes was more reputatble then that. Guess I was wrong. Now I'll think twice before making a purchase with you.

I was told the whole door, screen everything was lifetime warranty. If the screen was torn they would come out and fix it. It all depends on who tells you what and how much of it we as consumers can believe. Tell you anything these days. I have been told lifetime warranty entire door more than once at my local store.
0 0 ReplyNO NAME Aug 06, 2011
There are parts on a storm door that are not under warranty like closers. The labor warranty is for one year and on installer related issues. Error by installer. Wind Damage will void ALL warranties. The consumer is responsible to make sure they close their storm door and make sure it is secured. You would be amazed how many wind damage calls the stores get and then the customer thinks it's the stores,manufacures and installer responsibility to resolve.

Some current model doors do carry lifetime warranties and some carry "limited lifetime" warranties. A warranty claim is against the manufacturer of the door, which is Larson. There is a serial number on the hinge side z-bar (frame) and a 1800 number in your warranty/care and cleaning pamplet. Call the number and give them the serial along with the issue and Larson will take care of it 99% of the time with few questions asked. larsondoors.com you can go there as well, but warranty is best at the 1800 number.

My storm door has a lifetime warranty on all parts. Im sure the sales person told him " Lifetime" warranty-as did my sales person. There are a few things not covered but I did read my warranty before my purchase.
0 0 Reply??? Mar 11, 2011 Awka, Anambra
Did you ask for a copy of the warranty? I expect that if you did and took time to read it you will find that the door itself has a lifetime warranty. Hardware and parts subject to normal wear such as weatherstripping are warrantied for one year. Pretty standard for storm doors. Always take time to read a written copy of the warranty if that is what determines if you buy a product or not.
0 0 Replynikalseyn Mar 11, 2011
I suspect you misunderstood what the salesman was telling you. No one is going to warrant a storm door for "life." These things get used and abused and you cannot expect Lowes to replace parts worn out thru normal wear and tear. I think they were being entirely fair in warranting it for one full year. After that, fix the darned thing yourself!!

Written by Erren Harter
This is an open letter to the Emporia City Commissioners
I thank each of you for serving on the Emporia City Commission. Few know the time and effort you extend.
With the resignation of Matt Zimmerman you are faced with not only with a challenge, but also a good opportunity.
Matt did a good job for our community. His leadership helped put our city is excellent financial condition while also attending to issues like infrastructure improvement, clean up efforts and a host of other items.
Here are a couple of thoughts about his successor.
First, we need someone knowledgeable, aggressive and assertive. We need someone on their way up, not someone looking to retire in Emporia. Emporia has too much riding on this person to not find a "go getter."
With that said let me suggest this is NOT the time to try and save money on this hire. We will get exactly what we pay for!
Emporia's best shot at growing over the next decade is tied closely to Emporia State University. President Shonrock has the university on an upward spurt, so it is important to find someone with a good grasp on how the city might best assist the campus in their growth.
It would make sense to me to ask Michael Shonrock to be a part of your search process.
Other groups you might consult on this decision are the Flint Hills Technical College, the Regional Development Association and the Lyon County Commissioners. And, it wouldn't hurt to include USD 253 in the process.
I am curious why you are waiting to start your search. I hope it's not because you want to try running the city for awhile without a city manager on board.
Emporia's chosen form of city government demands a professional manager leading the way with policy set by the city commission. Operating for an extended period of time without that professional leadership seems to me to be taking an unnecessary chance.
Good luck in your deliberations. Much of Emporia's future is tied to your selection.
I'm Steve Sauder and there's something to think about.

US 5397502 A Abstract The heat resistance of polyester liquid crystalline polymers containing repeat units in selected ratios derived from hydroquinone, 4,4'-biphenol, terephthalic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and one or both of 4,4'-bibenzoic acid and 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid is improved by the addition thereto of 15 to 3000 ppm of an alkali metal or 50 to 3000 ppm magnesium or calcium.
Claims(10) 1. A composition comprising
(a) about 15 to about 3,000 parts per million of an alkali metal or about 50 to about 3000 parts per million of magnesium or calcium, and (b) a liquid crystalline polymer consisting essentially of repeat units of the formulae ##STR2## wherein the molar ratio of (I):(II) is from 65:35 to 40:60, the molar ratio of (III):(IVa+IVb) is from 85:15 to 50:50, the molar ratio of the total of (I) and (II) to the total of (III) and (IV) is substantially 1:1, and there are 100 to 600 moles of (V) per 100 moles of (I) plus (II). 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein repeat unit (IVb) is not present.
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the molar ratio of (I):(II) is from 60:40 to 40:60, the molar ratio of (III) to (IVa) is from 85:15 to 60:40, and there are 200 to 450 moles of (V) to 100 moles of (I) plus (II).
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of (IVb) to (IVa) is 0 to about 2.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein about 100 ppm to about 2000 ppm of said alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium is present.

7. The composition of claim 1 wherein said alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium is added before or during polymerization of said liquid crystalline polymer.
8. The composition of claim 7 wherein an alkali metal is added before or during polymerization of the liquid crystalline polymer.
9. The composition of claim 1 wherein (a) is an alkali metal.
10. The composition of claim 9 wherein the alkali metal is selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium and potassium metals.
Description This invention relates to certain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) containing alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium. The LCPs have a use temperature, as judged by heat deflection temperature, that is increased in comparison to the same LCPs lacking the alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium. It is well known that LCPs are useful in some of their applications because they can be used at high temperatures, such as 260� C. It has been discovered that when certain LCPs contain alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium, their melting points and their heats of melting are increased, while their use temperature, as judged by the heat deflection temperature (HDT) when they are filled with glass fiber, is also increased. LCPs that have higher use temperatures are particularly useful in moldings, such as electrical connectors, mechanical parts, etc., where higher use temperatures than would be provided by an LCP not containing the alkali metal, calcium, or magnesium are desired. This invention relates to a composition comprising (a) about 15 to about 3,000 parts per million of an alkali metal or about 50 to about 3000 parts per million of magnesium or calcium and (b) a liquid crystalline polymer consisting essentially of repeat units of the formulae ##STR1## wherein the molar ratio of (I):(II) is from 65:35 to 40:60, the molar ratio of (III):(IVa plus IVb) is from 85:15 to 50:50, the molar ratio of the total of (I) and (II) to the total of (III) and (IV) is substantially 1:1, and there are 100 to 600 moles of (V) per 100 moles of (I) plus (II). The present invention relates to compositions comprised of certain LCPs containing alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium. In these compositions, in comparison to the same compositions without the alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium, the melting point of the LCP is increased, usually by about 5� to 10� C. and the heat deflection temperature of a 30% glass fiber filled LCP composition is increased, typically by about 10� to 30� C. As a result, the LCP compositions described herein have a higher use temperature, as determined by heat deflection temperature, than do the same LCP compositions without the alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium. Alkali metals are preferred over calcium and magnesium. Alkali metals, as used herein, are selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, and rubidium metals. Preferred alkali metals are selected from lithium, sodium, and potassium metals. Potassium metal is the especially preferred alkali metal. The alkali metals, calcium, and magnesium are added to, and present in, the LCP in the form of salt(s). The metal itself is in the form of its cation. Most of the LCPs described herein have been previously disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,110,896 and U.S. patent application No. 07/878,150 filed May 4, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,250,654, both of which are hereby included by reference. In the instant LCPs, repeat unit (I) is derived from hydroquinone, (II) is derived from 4,4'-biphenol, (III) is derived from terephthalic acid, (IVa) is derived from 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, (IVb) is derived from 4,4'-bibenzoic acid, and (V) is derived from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Herein, when the number of moles of (IV) is given, it is the total number of moles of (IVa) and (IVb). Any molar ratio of (IVa) to (IVb) may be used, but in preferred compositions, the ratio of moles of (IVb) to (IVa) [(IVb)/(IVa)] is 0 to about 2. In preferred compositions, the molar ratio of (I):(II) is from 60:40 to 40:60 and the molar ratio of (III):(IV) is from 85:15 to 60:40. When (IVb) is not present, it is preferred that there are 200 to 600 moles of (V) per 100 moles of (I) plus (II), more preferably about 200 to 450. When (IVb) is present, it is preferred that there are 100 to 400 moles of (V) per 100 moles of (I) plus (II), more preferably about 200 to 350. The LCPs may be made by any method known in the art, but it is preferred if they are made by converting all starting material hydroxyl groups to ester groups, particularly acetates, and then condensing the esters with the carboxyl groups in the starting materials to form the polymer. It is especially preferred if all the starting materials are combined, reacted with a carboxylic anhydride (especially acetic anhydride) to esterify the hydroxyl groups present, and then condensed to form the LCP. The alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium (all in the form of salts) may be added to the LCP by any method that results in a reasonably uniform mixture; that is, the metal cations (salt) should be very well dispersed in the LCP. In one preferred method, the molten LCP may be mixed with the salt by using a mixer such as a twin screw extruder. If the salt is added to the already formed LCP, it is preferred if at least about 20%, preferably at least 50% or more, of the polymer end groups are carboxyl. The salt can also be added to the polymerization ingredients before or during the polymerization, especially before the polymerization is started (see Examples 1-11). If added before or during the polymerization, it is preferred that the polymerization be done by condensing the ester of the hydroxyl groups in the monomers with the carboxyl groups in the monomers. In another method, the alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium (salts) may be present as "impurities" in one or more of the starting materials. In this case, the final LCP must still contain the minimum amount of alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium required. In addition to the alkali metal, magnesium, and calcium (salts) present in the LCP, the compositions herein may also contain other materials, including but not limited to, fillers (such as talc, clay, glass fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber), colorants, antioxidants, etc. Especially preferred fillers are fibers, such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber. Glass fiber is most preferred. Also included in these materials (as for fillers) are alkali metal, magnesium and calcium salts, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,606. The total amount of alkali metal, calcium or magnesium present in the LCP may exceed 3,000 ppm, but it is believed that above 3,000 ppm the effect on the melting point and HDT is negligible in comparison with the effect at about 3,000 ppm. Therefore amounts of alkali metal, magnesium, and calcium above 3,000 ppm are considered herein "fillers". If a filler is added that contains an alkali metal, magnesium, or calcium, such metal (cations) are not included in the total of the metal ions in the polymer unless such metal ions leach from or react with the polymer. For instance, sodium may be present in glass fibers. If such sodium cannot leach from the fibers, it is not included in the metal cations used herein. However, if enough sodium leaches into the polymer to reach minimum level prescribed herein, it is included within the present invention. As stated above, the alkali metal, magnesium, and calcium are added to the LCP in the form of salts. The anion in the salt which is originally added to the LCP is not critical. Useful salts include, but are not limited to, bisulfates, sulfates, carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, halides, and carboxylates. Preferred salts are bisulfates, sulfates, carbonates, bicarbonates and carboxylates. Preferred carboxylates are salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and a carboxylate salt of any of the carboxylic acids from which the polymeric repeat units are derived. Especially preferred carboxylates are acetate and 4-hydroxybenzoate. In preferred compositions, about 100 parts per million (ppm) by weight to about 2000 ppm of the alkali metal, magnesium or calcium are present in the LCP composition. The amount of metal present in the composition can be measured by a variety of analytical techniques. Analyses used in the Examples herein were performed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Absorption, as described below. In the following Examples, melting points were measured using ASTM D3418-82, modified by using a heating rate of 25� C./min. Melting points were measured on the LCPs without glass fiber. The melting points reported are from the first heat. HDT was measured by ASTM D648, using a force of 1.82 MPa, on LCP containing 30% by weight glass fiber. Metals content was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Absorption. This analysis was done by weighing about 10 g of the LCP sample into a large platinum dish and slowly ashing in a muffle furnace at 550� C. After cooling to room temperature, the residue was wet with water. Then, 2 ml of concentrated HCl and 15-20 drops of concentrated H2 SO4 were added. The dish was warmed on a hot plate until a clear solution was obtained. The solution was cooled and then diluted to 25 ml in a volumetric flask. The sample was then analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Absorption at the appropriate wavelengths for the elements of interest. In Comparative Examples A & B and Examples 1-15, two LCPs were used. Composition A was 50/50/70/30/320 (molar parts) of hydroquinone/4,4'-biphenol/terephthalic acid/2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid/4-hydroxybenzoic acid, respectively. Composition B was 50/50/85/15/320 (molar parts) of hydroquinone/4,4'-biphenol/terephthalic acid/2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid/4-hydroxybenzoic acid, respectively. Table 1 below lists the salts added to each of compositions at the beginning of the polymerizations, as well as the melting point of the as made polymer, and the HDT of the 30% glass filled LCPs. Table 2 lists the metal content of 3 examples as measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Absorption. The metals content of Comparative Example B was also measured. The polymer of Comparative Example B contained less than 10 ppm of any alkali metal, 25 ppm of calcium, and 8 ppm of magnesium. Compositions A and B were prepared as set forth below. X1-X8 values are reported in Table 1, below. The reactants were charged, in a nitrogen atmosphere, into a reaction vessel equipped with a Vigreaux Column, condenser, and a stirrer (stir speed set at X1 RPM). The resultant reaction mixture was heated to reflux. Reflux began at a pot temperature of approximately 150� C. The reaction mixture was refluxed X2 minutes, at constant temperature. During the next X3 minutes, the pot temperature was slowly raised to X4� C., during which time acetic acid byproduct was removed. Pressure was then reduced over the next X5 minutes to about 133 Pa (abs), while stirrer speed was reduced to X6 RPM and the pot temperature was increased to about X7� C. The polymerization was terminated approximately X8 hours after charging of the ingredients. Polymer was removed from the reaction vessel with a scooping tool and rapidly cooled to room temperature. Unless otherwise stated, the LCP composition of Examples 1-15 were prepared as described above. The salts added to Examples 1-15 are provided in Table 1, below.

As the compounded LCP compositions exited the die, they were quenched with a water spray and cut into pellets with a conventional strand cutter. The extruder barrel and die temperatures were maintained at about 290�-330� C. and 300�-320� C., respectively. Prior to molding, the pellets were dried overnight for about 16 hours in a vacuum oven with nitrogen purge at 100�-130� C.
