Cadillac, in the U.S., is synonymous with luxury. With its sleek lines and quality engineering, the Cadillac has been for decades the car of choice for the discerning motorist who wishes to make a statement on the road. Even used Cadillac cars are guaranteed to turn heads when they cruise by.
Cadillac, according to Automotive.com, has been the first name in American luxury cars for over 100 years; favorite of such stars as Elvis Presley. Since the 1990s, Cadillac has begun appealing to younger drivers, and used Cadillac cars are a good way for the first-time luxury car buyer to join this grand tradition.
When the Cadillac was introduced in Detroit in 1902 by Henry Leland , it became the first to offer drivers a color other than black. Leland named his new company after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. The company’s crest was inspired by the Cadillac family’s coat of arms. Leland completely revolutionized the concept of mass production of cars at the time by demonstrating the complete interchangeability of his car’s precision parts. Cadillac was the first American car to win the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England in 1908, leading the company to adopt the slogan “Standard of the World.”
For more than a century, Cadillac has stood for uncompromising performance, groundbreaking technology, and daring in design. Cadillac introduced the first electric self-starting engine and was a pioneer in integrating computer technology into automobiles. Cadillac was also the first to introduce the clashless manual transmission and steel roof, and in 1912, wont the Dewar Trophy a second time in 1912 for being the first company to incorporate electric starting and lighting in an assembly-line produced automobile. Cadillac has continued to receive accolades for innovation and excellence in the auto industry, including Edmunds.com ‘Best Retained Value ® Award, Connected World Magazine’s Connected Car of the Year Award (2012), and Kelley Blue Book’s 2012 Brand Image Awards for Best Luxury Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand. In 2008, Cadillac’s CTS Sport Sedan was Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, because of its design and performance and having passed rigorous tests around the world.
Used Cadillac cars are available in a wide variety of models, ranging from the Eldorado luxury coupe to the Escalade SUV. The Cadillac DTS, a full-sized four-door sedan is one of the top of the line used Cadillac cars that is available at affordable prices, as is also the Cadillac Seville, which is the name originally used in the 1950s to denote a coupe version of the Eldorado.
Purchasing used Cadillac cars also make sense economically. Because of the solid engineering, used Cadillac cars that have been well maintained have fewer service problems than many other makes of automobiles; and owners of used Cadillac cars typically kept them well maintained as a point of pride. In addition, service facilities for used Cadillac cars, as compared to import luxury cars, are more readily available to American motorists. Used Cadillac cars consistently rank higher than import models in terms of warranty, roadside assistance, performance, technology, and distinctive design.
For better prices, fuel economy, and more; for the motorist in the market for a luxury car, there’s no better deal than used Cadillac cars, leaders in technology, innovative design, and luxury.

New Data – Only the Strong Retail Malls Will Survive; 10% of US Retail Malls to fold by 2022, as the Weakest are Converted to Other Uses
A report from the Costar Group warns that the future of a great many malls in the U.S. is grim. There is an increasing price gap between strong malls with rising sales and failing malls that are losing their retailers, sales dollars and foot traffic. On a dollar-per-square-foot basis, malls with a vacancy rate of 5% or less traded at a 45% premium over those with higher than 5% vacancies from 2010 to present. This is a marked change from conditions in the past, when the premium was a negligible 2%.
Unwanted mall properties are joining the distressed market, and are being repositioned there. With creative redevelopment and repositioning strategies, these malls are being used for different types of retail, or non-retail uses, such as a university or health care facilities. Mega-churches have taken over former anchor spaces. Others have become call-centers and government offices.
Opportunity buyers, like those at Genesis Capital, see the off market possibilities and continue to look for repositioning possibilities. Genesis sources off market properties from private sellers and banks,displays information on a password-protected Showcase, and houses due diligence on an encrypted due diligence site. With continuing shake-out in most asset types in commercial real estate, opportunity assets for buyers will continue to dominate throughout the year and into 2013.
In a widely quoted report, Green Street Advisors has forecast that 10% of the nation’s 1,000 enclosed malls will fail by 2022, eventually converting to uses other than retail. The litany of issues facing distressed malls and large shopping centers is well documented, states the CoStar report, with ills ranging from changing neighborhoods, increased competition from online sales (no small matter in itself), the appeal of newer lifestyle and power centers, consolidation of anchor stores and sharp downsizing by in-line tenants.
But analysts also see the closings and repositioning as a healthy process. As market forces cull weaker properties, successful malls grow stronger.

CareGiver Partnership Releases their Groundbreaking New Brand, Elyte, to Treat Incontinence and Works with LAD Solutions to Promote Product
Now, nothing will get in the way of the millions of men and women across America who lead active, healthy lifestyles. CareGiver Partnership just announced the release of Elyte, combining advanced absorbent technology with 100% organic cotton to provide superior protection against incontinence. Leading the marketing effort to promote Elyte is Los Angeles, Ca. based LAD Solutions.
Over 13 million Americans are incontinent. Contrary to popular belief, incontinence does not just affect senior citizens. A wide array of medical disorders and conditions can result in incontinence, including pregnancy and childbirth, pelvic surgery and neurological diseases. Because incontinence has physical and emotional effects, finding a way to resume normal activities with confidence is critical.
Extended use of some incontinence products can leave skin with rashes and other uncomfortable side effects. This is because the leading brands use bleached wood pulp or synthetic materials and chemical processes to make their incontinence products. CareGiver Partnership provides customers a non-toxic, fragrance free alternative to traditional incontinence pads. Manufactured free of chlorine bleach and toxic dioxin byproducts, Elyte is ideal for those who need regular incontinence care, but have sensitive skin.
Providing consumers with sustainable, green alternatives is increasingly important in today’s world.
CareGiver Partnership is responsible when it comes to the environment too. Elyte contains 100% pure cotton, which not only protects skin by wicking away moisture, but is biodegradable in landfills. Cotton material also provides superior breathability, comfort and odor control compared to rayon and other synthetic fibers.
Even though Elyte incontinence products are environmentally friendly, they don’t sacrifice quality protection against incontinence. The form-fitting elastic edge is designed to move and stretch to prevent leaks. This means even the most active adults can continue to play tennis, golf and other favorite sports without missing a game. The adhesive design also helps the pad stay in place for patients who may need to sit or lay down for extended periods of time.
Whether it’s regular bladder control problems or occasional incontinence, Elyte is incredibly discreet. Incontinence pads are available in four sizes, ranging from the thinnest mini pad to the most absorbent super pad. Because they’re slim and comfortable, they can be worn all day long, without sacrificing absorption power.
Standard absorbency Elyte incontinence pads cost approximately $13.00 per package. Individuals, care givers and care facilities can save by bulk ordering by the case.
About CareGiver Partnership: Founded in 2004 in Neenah, Wisconsin, CareGiver Partnership is a customer-service based organization that provides a variety of aids for daily living, mobility, skin care and nutrition. CareGiver Partnership has helped over 10,000 caregivers and individual customers in the United States care for seniors and loved ones with dignity. While they maintain a selection of over 2,600 health care products, their Product Specialists still process 85% of orders within two work days and answer phone calls by the third ring.

New 3dcart Feature Protects Online Merchants from Shopper Fraud
It’s no secret: electronic transactions may be targets for shopper fraud. To help curb fraud before it happens, 3dcart today launched a new feature called FraudWatch, an add-on that calculates potential risk of fraud for each store purchase.
FraudWatch processes 12 indicators related to fraudulent purchases and calculates a score based on available information. It also displays buyer reviews sourced from 3dcart’s community of more than 16,000 different online merchants. As a result, 3dcart merchants minimize risk and loss associated with shopper fraud.
FraudWatch Score calculations display in the 3dcart administrator panel next to orders for easy readability. Algorithms used to determine the FraudWatch Score read information like IP address, physical address and more to find key indicators and previous instances of fraud.

$44 Billion in Distressed Commercial Real Estate on the U.S. Market…But For How Long?
There is still $44 billion in distressed commercial real estate up for grabs on the U.S. market, according to Dan Fasulo, managing director at research and consulting firm Real Capital Analytics.
In his opinion, investors need to make haste if they want to take advantage of lower prices on distressed real estate. More properties are exiting the distressed category than are being added to it currently, Fasulo warns. He believes that we may have already peaked in this market, and are now on the way down.
However, other analysts think that there could be a shift in the opposite direction. “We think the property loan picture will continue to improve in a meaningful way throughout 2012 and beyond if interest rates remain low and the economic expansion picks up pace. The real test of the decline in the level of distressed assets will come in 2012 and 2013, with about $300 billion in loans coming due each year,” said Mike Donnelly, recently in the Washington Post. Donnelly is a senior associate at Delta Associates.
It’s not surprising that distressed commercial property is being acquired, as it can provide great value, and there is a large pool of money waiting to grab that value. REITS, for example, have spent nearly two years raising close to $20 billion in preparation for a buying spree in distressed commercial real estate. Players like Boston Properties, Simon Property Group, and Vornado Realty Trust, to name just a few, have been active. And private equity funds have been active in the markets as well.
To get the best of the distressed commercial real estate market, however, analysts say that buyers need to either get direct with sellers, or use an expert who can do so to conduct off market transactions. Even today, years after the crash, some owners are finding it hard to accept the lower valuations that the post-crisis period has brought in. In the end, a price is what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to accept. But only when sellers are able to accept valuations do markets begin to heal – as in Dallas, where the largest distressed buildings have recently changed hands thanks to some hard-nosed, personal negotiations.
In light of the amount of real estate debt that is yet to mature, and the defaulted or "in limbo" property which banks are continuing to "extend and pretend", the question is unanswered as to when the bottom of the market will occur.

Chefs 4 Futures for Children: A National Campaign on World Food Day
Futures for Children launches its annual National Campaign for Chefs 4 Futures for Children on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 on the UN designated World Food Day for the second year in a row. Restaurants in major cities across the U.S. are participating to help raise awareness about Futures for Children.
There is a big myth that all American Indian tribes have casinos. There are 568 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. and according to a Times Magazine article (12/16/02) 187 have gaming. Out of the 187, 24 make 66% of the all the profit. The truth is that gaming has failed to raise most Native Americans out of poverty. The reality is that most of the American Indian people in this country are dealing with poverty. Poverty is the reality for most of the communities served by Futures for Children. The Futures for Children family are inspired by the American Indian young people who face poverty yet look beyond their adversity, and still believe in their ability to improve life for themselves, their families and communities.
For participating restaurants, please visit –http://www.futuresforchildren.org.
Chef Aude Lauu said, “Le Paris French Bakery has been part of the Chefs 4 Futures for Children campaign since its inception in April 2011 during the Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We support the efforts of Futures for Children.”
Since 1968, Futures for Children has had Three Circles of Support to self-sufficiency that includes Youth Leadership, Mentorship/Friendship and Families in Action in Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo and Mescalero Apache communities in Arizona and New Mexico as well as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. Futures for Children’s self-help philosophy goes right to the heart of efforts by American Indian people to empower themselves through education and turn back the results of centuries of oppression.
