Elasticsearch, a leader in big data search and analytics, today announced it has secured $10 million in Series A financing led by Benchmark Capital. The other investors in the round include Rod Johnson, the creator of Spring and co-founder of SpringSource, and Data Collective. The company will use its initial round of funding to rapidly build out the organization in all functional areas and expand into key geographic regions to support the explosive adoption of Elasticsearch, the open source search and analytics software that has emerged as one of the most popular open source projects in the big data market and is already being used by thousands of companies all over the world.
Click to Tweet: Big data search gets big boost – Elasticsearch closes Series A from Benchmark and Rod Johnson #BigData #analytics #search
Created by Elasticsearch co-founder and CTO Shay Banon, the open source product was first released in 2009 and has already been downloaded 1.5 million times, including a current rate of 200,000 /month, making it one of the fastest growing open source projects in its market.
"Benchmark moves lightning fast on investments when we see the combination of explosive technology adoption and a founding team that radiates technical excellence," said Peter Fenton, general partner, Benchmark Capital. "Similar to companies in which we invested such as RedHat, MySQL and SpringSource, Elasticsearch quickly rocketed to 200,000 downloads per month and Shay's magnetic energy in delivering a simple, and highly usable solution for extracting meaning and information from big data sets the company apart from the current market hype and hyperbole."
"In just four months, Elasticsearch is already light years ahead of where even the most successful open source companies were at the same stage," said Rod Johnson. "Shay and Steven Schuurman have hit on the perfect storm - a user-friendly product that can quickly search and extract information from massive amounts of data stored in the most complex distributed cloud environments."
Organizations of every size are struggling to find an easy way to extract information from their large distributed volumes of structured and unstructured data. While there are a number of proven technologies for storing the exploding volumes of data, there is no user-friendly and simple way to quickly search through petabytes of information to deliver the exact information that businesses require to make real-time, intelligent and actionable decisions.
"Elasticsearch is designed specifically to tackle the challenge of searching billions of documents or events in real-time, and extracting information out of structured and unstructured data is in our sweet spot," said Shay Banon. "This breakthrough capability, combined with its ease of use, explains why people love using Elasticsearch."
"Our ability to attract investments from visionary open source leaders like Peter Fenton and Rod Johnson highlights the enormous opportunity we have as a company," said Steven Schuurman, Elasticsearch co-founder and CEO. "In my 12 years in the software industry, I have never seen a product have such an immediate impact on customers as Elasticsearch and its adoption continues to increase daily. With this Series A round, we will continue to invest our resources in extending its value and maintain our 100% commitment to maximizing the success for anyone who uses Elasticsearch."

Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 02.17.2012
The headline CPI rose at an annualized rate of 2.5 percent in January, slightly below its 12-month growth rate of 2.9 percent. Food and energy price increases were modest in January, and the bulk of the increase came from the "core" (excluding food and energy) index. The core CPI rose 2.7 percent in January, compared to its near-term (3-month) growth rate of 2.2 percent and its 12-month growth rate of 2.3 percent. Across broad components, price pressure was mostly to the upside in January. Apparel prices jumped up 11.2 percent during the month, seeming to resume its elevated trend from the middle of last year after a brief respite over the last four months of 2011. On a year-over-year basis the series is up 4.7 percent. Medical care commodities (up 7.4 percent), recreation prices (up 7.5 percent), motor vehicle fees (up 18.1 percent), and tobacco prices (up 5.8 percent), were also elevated in January.
On the other side of the price change distribution, used cars and trucks prices slipped 11.3 percent, marking an acceleration in its recent downward trend. On a year-over-year basis, the series is up just 3.2 percent, down sharply from current cyclical high of near 17 percent in mid-2010. A more general look at the price change distribution reveals that roughly 50 percent of the index rose at rates exceeding 3.0 percent, compared to roughly 30 percent over the previous 3 months.
On the other end of the distribution, just 22 percent of the index fell into the bins below 1 percent, compared to an average of 33 percent over the previous 3 months. The median CPI rose 3.0 percent and the 16 percent trimmed-mean CPI increased 2.9 percent during the month. Notably, the revised seasonal factors led to an upward revision to the near-term growth rate in the median CPI—from 2.1 percent to 2.4 percent through December. After adding in January's increase, the 3-month growth rate in the median rose to 2.6 percent, slightly above its 12-month growth rate of 2.4 percent (which is its highest growth rate since April 2009). The near-term trend in the trim is a little lower (2.0 percent), but on a year-over-year basis, its up 2.6 percent. Echoing the upward pressure signaled by the median CPI, the sticky CPI—which tracks the price changes in the more persistent components of the marketbasket—rose 3.0 percent in January, outpacing its 3-month growth rate (2.7 percent) and its year-over-year growth rate of 2.2 percent.

The New Emirates' Charter Jet for When First Class Isn't Good Enough
I believe that designers took issue with the so-called "skeuomorphic" stylings because they appeared to lack significant thought, and perhaps, even felt hollow. What many designers have overlooked is the fact that the same thing can be said of so-called "flat design". It's all about the implementation. If the navigation or layout of an interface is poorly assembled, solid colors and primitive shapes won't help you.
Affordances are the baby to skeuomorphism's bathwater. When they engage our instincts just right, they create an emotional bond, and the unfamiliar becomes inviting. Without them, it's just pictures under glass. It makes no difference how flat, how deep, how minimal, or how ornate the look-and-feel is if it can't show us, when we look, how to feel.

Design wunderkind Frank Chimero's thoughts on iOS 7
I'd probably start with aesthetics, because it'd be the thing I could see, and then hope it would eventually lead me somewhere deeper. As I look at the iconographic choices, color palette, and typography, there's a tendency to overindulge in very visible ways (such as the bright, almost garish colors and the use of transparency and blurring) and undervalue more subtle ways of establishing graphic tone (such as the use Helvetica as the primary typeface instead of something with more character and better suited for interfaces). Basically, there's not much nuance there, but there's not much room for subtlety when one has to give the impression of stark newness. Maybe this lack of nuance also comes from Ive's lack of familiarity with interface design? Usually expressive visual choices like these seem good in isolation, then become overbearing when viewed together. Experience gives a person the eyes to imagine their small choices in aggregate.

"KATHY GRIFFIN (Kathy Griffin) is thrilled to be performing at the storied and absolutely haunted Belasco Theater, where she has already told legendary stage impresario David Belasco's ghost, in no uncertain terms, to "Suck it." Ms. Griffin is especially excited to be reprising the role of Kathy Griffin after spending four years as Kathie Lee Gifford in a touring company of Ms. Gifford's one-woman musical jamboree, Jesus Is My Homeboy. Born in Madagascar, raised in Rangoon (that's for you, Streisand-obsessed gays), Ms. Griffin made her stage debut at the age of 9 in a Griffin family kitchen production of Boys in the Band, where Ms. Griffin played seven gay men simultaneously. Can you say foreshadowing?"

Introducing Arizona
The Grand Canyon state contains all the varied puzzle pieces of the contemporary Southwest, taking in the spires of Monument Valley and the upscale nightlife of Scottsdale. A big tent state of libertarian cowboys and shopaholic suburbanites, cacti canyons and desert golf courses, Arizona still embraces an Old West flavor.
Staking out opposite ends of the state, it claims the cool college towns of Tucson and Flagstaff. Victorian mining towns like Bisbee and Jerome exude rough-cut character, and New Agers in Sedona revel in its unseen energy. Travelers pass back and forth through the busy border hub of Nogales, and Wild West tourists flock to the shoot 'em up town of Tombstone. But in the end, the Grand Canyon is always Arizona's showy jewel.

Looks good man, raising up!!
Looks good man, raising up!!
Monday Week 4, Cycle 1 Deload Week
Bench Press
Most of these reps were done with a good pause and really worked on my set up and staying tight.
Dumbbell Bench
100s x 10, 10, 10, 9, 8 PR
Last week I only got 2 sets of 10 so I added a set of ten so I am counting that as a PR
Dumbbell Rows no straps!
100s x 10
125s x 3 x 10 PR for reps
125s x 9 form was getting bad, did a tenth rep but it was ugly
Overhead Cable Tricep Extension
80x12, 12
These felt great and awesome pump in the triceps
Awesome workout for a deload. I am going to skip squats tomorrow due to my hamstring which is feeling much better. I think I am going to wait and just do a speed squat session on friday to feel it out and hop back into 5/3/1 next week. More foam rolling to be done
Tuesday Week 4, Cycle 1 Deload
Today was a serious deload day, just loosened up my legs and got a good pump
BW x 3 x 20
Leg Press
3 plates each side x 3 sets x 20
3 plates x 35 reps, had plenty more left in me
2x15 good stretch at bottom
10 minutes of cardio
Foam rolling when I got home. Feeling good today, hamstring is almost 100%. I plan to do a speed day on friday for squats and deads. Then I will resume 5/3/1 next week for my second cycle
Thursday Week 4, Cycle 1 Deload
Military Press
Dip Machine
This felt awesome, it may be a PR but I am not tracking that
Pullups and Lat Pulldown Gironda Style
Pullups x BW x 4 x 8
Lat Pulldown 140x4x8
This was done as described in Vince Gironda's 8x8 program, I did a set of pull ups 15-30 sec rest and then lat pulldown, 15-30 sec rest, back to pull ups for 4 sets of each exercise, pretty intense
Dumbbell Tricep Extension
30s x 3 x 10
Great workout, deload is almost over, Tomorrow I think I am going to do speed squats, not quite sure yet
First cycle deload? Wait until you hit the weights again next week. You will feel like superman...they really do work.
Also, didn't get a chance to check out that PL gym in Bristol yet. I am so close to hitting my 315/405/500 goal, that I am just going to stick it out with this gym so my rythm doesn't get messed up. Probably 6 weeks away from that goal.
Friday Week 4, Cycle 1
Speed Squats
Everything plus 2 sets of chains on each side
225x8 sets x 2 reps
Felt awesome, I do miss using chains but 5/3/1 is working great so I have to stick with it.
Weighted Leg Raise
Decline Sit ups
Twist Machine
*I like the weighted leg raise machine it hits the abs hard but also works the hip flexors hard.
Good workout, my hamstring felt great. Did not feel any tightness or pain in the hamstring so I am ready to start my next cycle!
Another note, I am reading Beyond Bodybuilding by Pavel and it is awesome. There are so many things I want to try but I am going to have to wait a while. Everything is so hardcore, I want to do it. Maybe after my competition, for anyone that has read the book, I want to do the russian squat assault cycle, 6 weeks of hardcore squatting.
Monday Week 1, cycle 2!!
Bench Press
Not quite a PR, but these were very good reps, set up is getting more comfortable
Dumbbell Bench
100s x 3 x 10
100s x 7, 6
these felt good, tough though
Dumbbell Row
125s x 5 x 10 PR
gonna step it up to 12 reps next week
Overhead Tricep Extension
good pump in the triceps
I was pretty tired today, but was able to push through and get my reps in plus one on bench, so still a good workout. I had to wake up at 430 am yesterday
Tuesday Week 1, Cycle 2
445x9 PR
For some reason my first two work sets felt extremely heavy, but then once I got fired up for my last set it felt great. I think I was going deeper with the heavier weight than my first two sets.
Pull Throughs
This gave me a crazy pump in my lower back, never really did these before but I am going to keep them for a while. They feel very good on the back and legs.
Single Leg Hack Squats
1 plate x 5 each leg
25 pound plate each side x 4 x 10 each leg
Tried to work on depth and my legs were just worn out.
The first week of 5/3/1 is always the hardest to me, but I think the way Wendler has set it up in his new book will be much better. I will have to wait and see when the book comes out.
Quite impressed with the super new PRs!!
Thursday Week 1, Cycle 2
Overhead Press
165x10 PR!
this was a huge number for me, great start!
BW x 2 x 20
Big Badass chain around my neck!!
x 12, 10, 9
These were incredibly difficult, triceps and chest were dying!
Pull Ups
BW x 3 x 10
BW x 8, 7
I tweaked my form slightly on pull ups since I am reading a book by Pavel, he says rather than just bringing your chin over the bar you should lean back and pull your upper chest to the bar. These are much harder and work the back a lot better. I like them better squeeze and pump.
Row Machine
Just for something a little extra
Awesome Workout I am feeling very strong, but I guarantee my neck will be really sore later, the chain I used is a little long so it causes me to lean forward a bit. But it works the triceps and chest great! Awesome workout and I can not wait to just eat for hours!
Strong stuff in here.

Friday Week 1, Cycle 2
405x11 PR!!!
Deadlifts felt great today, stopped when my form started to suffer
Leg Press
3 plates each side x 12
5 plates x 10
6 plates x 3 x 10
Pull throughs
150x 3 x 10
Awesome workout, sucks I have to go to work today.
We got a PR machine here!
Strong work bro,esp on sq and dl.

Thanks guys!!!
Saturday Extra Workout
Pullups 6-8 sets of 7-8 reps
I am focusing on my form here and pulling my upper chest to the bar and not just trying to swing my chin over the bar.
Cable Lateral Raises
Standing Preacher Curls
75 x 3 x 10
Also did a sled workout that consisted of pretty much every upper body movement, hit everything, chest, back, shoulders, and arms. Great pump
Monday Week 2, Cycle 2
Bench Press
No PR today, the weights felt very heavy and I think this was due to some work I did this weekend. tons of yard work yesterday, but its all good I hit my numbers.
Dumbbell Bench
100s x 3 x 10
Dumbbell Row
125s x 3 x 12 PR
I cut the volume a bit today, I was not really feeling it.
Bench Lockouts
405xM, I was disappointed here, I thought this should have been easy.
I think I need to do lockouts more, my other tricep work is not really helping my bench.So I am going to focus on lockouts for a while. I can definitely feel it in my triceps.
Alright workout, nothing great.
Good benching either way...the fatigue was probably from hitting 10 reps on ur military plus doing yard work over the weekend. No big deal.
Tuesday Week 2, Cycle 2
470x5 PR
I focused on staying tight and really sitting back and taking control of my hip flexors. This helped me to stay tight and hit better depth for each rep.
Pull Throughs
Each week I am going to add another set of 15.
Step Ups
135x 5 sets x 5 reps each leg
I have not done these for a while and I really like them. I think they are here to stay for a while, really hit the quads and help balance. I am going to take out all machine work and switch to something else. I read some bad stuff about the leg press in Pavels book, and it scared me.
Much better workout than yesterday, I am back on track!
Holy crap...big squat!

I don't know if I'm the only one that noticed, or am just the only one willing to say anything, but Tara only became a lesbian after she was raped by Franklin. Just putting it out there.
That's a great point!
Well it only took them an entire season but we've finally gotten an episode worth watching out of TrueBlood.
Can I just start out by saying GOOD RIDDANCE RUSSELL EDGINGTON! I must admit that I was little disappointed that Russie's death wasn't at the hand of Eric but… I litterally squealed with glee when it was done.
I'm being completely honest when I say I could completely do without the new and unimproved "G.I. Jason" they've introduced. He's seeing his mother and father (who are apparently right-wing fanger-haters) and they've pushed him over the edge. I don't know where this is going but I'm thinking I'm probably not going to like it. I was so sad when he told Jessica "I could never love a fanger." She looked so sad… and she saved his life! Ugh. Typical jerk.
We still don't know if Sam, Luna, and Emma got out of the authority headquarters safely but they're all together and Luna pulled a pretty cool trick turning into Rev. Newland to try to get everyone out. EVEN BETTER was the true death of the hilarious ginger vamp via Sam flying into her mouth as a fly and shifting back into human form inside her!!! So hilarious.
I'm glad that Alcide is the leader of the Shreveport pack now but I'm convinced (as are most of my fellow Trubies) that he'll be addicted now. I'm hoping not because that storyline has already been played out in previous seasons, but they've got to go somewhere with it.
I could have done without the Pam/Tara kiss. I wanted Tara to finally have a friend/mother-figure that would understand her and give her what she needs but they throw in the love interest angle because that's how TrueBlood rolls.
I really enjoyed the birth of Andy's fairy babies. Watching Arlene and LaFayette watch it was hilarious. And four girls!!!! What is Andy going to do?! Makes me giggle.
LaFayette and Andy have become two of my favorite characters and they aren't even main characters in the book! This TV series makes everything go upside down!
And now we're down to Bill and his crazy ass. He's killed the other chancellors and now he drinks all of Lilith's blood… because she "chose" him. Ugh. I'm so tired of hearing about her and this stupid vampire bible. I can't lie… I was excited to think I was going to get rid of Beel and Russell all in one episode. I though "yay! Sookie and Eric can finally get on with their storyline!" But no… we can't have that. Let's get him nekkid and paint him red and make him into… Ta-da! Billith. Whomp, whomp, whomp.
Well… another year and we may get a good season out of it if they continue the storylines from the finale. All in all… a big "well done" for the cast and writers for the season finale. It wrapped up most of what we didn't like and gave us more of what we did AND it gave Truebies something to look forward to next summer. Have no fear HBO… we're far too loyal to leave after just one bad season.
I've been told now that Eric did, in fact, kill Russell. I assumed the light coming out of his face meant that the fairy blood was doing it somehow or that it was a delayed reaction from them all shooting their light at him as once. I didn't see where Eric actually stabbed him or anything but, apologies. My mistake. It would make sense that the fairy light would be the first thing out of him if Eric did stab him. I'll have to rewatch and pay closer attention. Thanks for pointing that out y'all!

A short 'relief hearing' will take place at 10.00am on 23 April at the Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London, following the High Court judgment which held that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) had acted unlawfully by cutting short a corruption investigation into arms deals between BAE Systems and Saudi Arabia.
UPDATE **The High Court has re-opened the investigation** - http://ekklesia.co.uk/node/7051 [1]
At the hearing the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) and The Corner House will ask the Court to issue a formal declaration that the SFO has acted unlawfully and must rescind its decision to halt the investigation. The Court will also consider any application for leave to appeal. The hearing is scheduled to last for one hour.
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) works for the reduction and ultimate abolition of the international arms trade. The Corner House is an environmental and social justice NGO. Leigh Day & Co have represented them throughout the judicial review process, along with counsel from Blackstone Chambers. For more information, please visit www.controlbae.org; [2] www.caat.org.uk [3], or www.thecornerhouse.org.uk [4].
The judgment of the High Court was handed down on 10 April 2008 by Lord Justice Moses and Mr Justice Sullivan, following a judicial review brought by The Corner House and CAAT. They ruled that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), on the advice of the government, had acted unlawfully by terminating an investigation into BAE's Saudi arms deals on 14 December 2006, following lobbying by BAE and Saudi representatives.
The Saudi regime had threatened to cancel an arms deal and withdraw diplomatic and intelligence co-operation. This was described by the judges as a "successful attempt by a foreign government to pervert the course of justice in the United Kingdom".
Details of the Court number at which the hearing will take place will be published on the Court Service Website by 4.30pm on Wednesday 23 April. Please see www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/list_admin.htm [5].

What To Expect From Drai's At The Cromwell
We've told you about the 6Cs of The Cromwell. Now, we're moving onto the letter "D" as in Drai's from Vegas nightlife legend, Victor Drai.
Drai's After Hours club at Bill's Gambling Hall was both infamous and legendary. Let's put it this way. If you ended up at Drai's during your trip to Vegas, you had a very good time. (Wink, wink.) That, and you didn't get any sleep.
While Drai's After Hours club is set to eventually reopen in the basement of The Cromwell (it's currently housed at Bally's), Drai and his team are focusing first on their rooftop venues, Drai's Nightclub and Beach Club. Both of which will open over Memorial Day weekend.
We spoke with Managing Partner, Ryan Craig, who's been working the Vegas nightlife scene for over ten years, starting as a busboy at the now closed Tabu inside MGM Grand before working his way up to host and then eventually to director of VIP services at Wynn's nightclubs.
Craig is a good-looking, thirty-something dude with dark hair that ends just above his shoulders and which he tucks behind his ears. He speaks with a calm, steady and assured voice. And, perhaps, most advantageous to his career, he has an easygoing smile. A smile that says, "sure, order another bottle. No problem." His unassuming manner flips the stereotype of a fast-talking, gelled-up, pinky ring-wearing club promoter on its head and now he's looking to flip the DJ-dominated Vegas club scene on its head with Drai's Nightclub.

How And Where To Earn Players Club Rewards
Players clubs are simple on the surface: gamble a little in the casino and get rewarded with comps and discounts on your next visit. Of course, nothing is ever so simple. Every players club is different so let's look at how players clubs work and how to get the best and most rewards. One hundred dollars spent is no longer the same at every casino and hotel.
Just about every business in America has a "loyalty club." Car rental agencies, coffee shops, supermarkets and hotels all have their own way of rewarding
addiction customers. Buy 12 cups of Starbucks coffee and get a 13th free. Woohoo! That's a sweet $2.50 savings after spending $30 on coffee.

When Pretty Please Doesn't Work, Paying Extra Will
An early checkout after a late night on The Strip isn't the ideal way to conclude a trip to Las Vegas. That's why we're really looking forward to trying out Palms' new 24-hour checkout option. But, what if you're staying elsewhere in Vegas? Fortunately, Palms isn't the only place in town offering reservation options. Artisan is our favorite, as its check-in and checkout options are some of the most flexible and easy to understand. When reserving your room online, you can choose an early arrival or late checkout, or even opt for both. There's no begging at the front desk to get in early. And, they've eliminated the need for those hung-over morning calls in which you plead for a couple more hours of sleep. It can all be taken care of online, even before you arrive.

An Early Preview Of Yard House At The Linq
When Yard House was created, the idea was to offer a restaurant that would boast one of the largest selections of draft beers, a diverse menu of American food, and play classic rock on a state-of-the-art sound system. Eight years later, you can add plenty of HD TVs to watch the games to that list. All things combined, it's a winning recipe for a very popular chain restaurant. The newest and largest outpost of Yard House officially opens this Friday, February 28 at The Linq.
Our hard hat tour of The Linq ended at Yard House where we were able to check out both stories of this mega-complex of beer and sample a few of the hundreds of drafts on tap. Don't worry, nobody was hurt during this tasting. See how small this California Porter is?
There are already two Yard House locations in Las Vegas so this isn't a new experience, but Yard House is only a regional chain with locations in just 16 states so the concept may be new to many. What makes The Linq location of Yard House so different is its enormity.

March Madness Has Begun With Some Cray Cray Hotel Rates
The Big Game hasn't even been played yet, but we're already looking forward to the next big sports weekend. The first weekend of March Madness is March 20-23 and may surpass Super Bowl weekend as the craziest sports weekend of the year. This isn't anything new for most Vegas watchers. March Madness has been growing in popularity for the past few years since it lasts four days, falls during Spring Break and is around St. Patrick's Day. Sportsbooks are usually overflowing with people.
There is a buzz around the books that may become bigger than the Big Game this year so we decided to check hotel rates now to see if they reflect that. If demand is high, hotel rooms will cost more. But, even we were astonished by the rates we found almost two months ahead of the madness. This writer's discounted Total Rewards rates are off the charts.

No More Declining The Resort Fee At Venetian, Palazzo
In April of 2013, Venetian and Palazzo upped their resort fee, but gave us an out -- the ability to decline it at check-in or check-out. The only caveat was that we'd be charged for services at regular prices if we did end up using them.
The days of being able to say no to that, however, have sadly ended. A front desk agent told us over the weekend that it's no longer an option.

Don't Get Too Excited For The New Total Rewards App
We downloaded the new Play by Total Rewards app for iPhone with a little too much excitement. Caesars Entertainment's old Total Rewards and Total Vegas apps were scrapped last year for a reason. Common sense would lead one to believe that a new app that did everything a user could possibly want would be made. Not so fast.
The two things that we'd want in a casino or players club app are not allowed. We can't book hotel rooms directly through the app and we can't use offers through the app, either. When trying to book a room, the app takes you to the mobile version of totalrewards.com where you have to re-enter your Total Rewards information and begin the booking and offer claim process from the beginning. That kind of makes this app useless.

New Total Rewards Bonus Points Available
Last year at this time, Caesars Entertainment confirmed some major changes to its Total Rewards players club. Nobody was particularly happy with the largest players club in America. At the same time, people rolled with the punches as benefits continue to decrease at all players clubs. While the changes required more points to reach higher tier levels, they also brought bonus credits:
*Earn 500 Tier Credits in one day and receive an additional 125 Tier Credit bonus
*Earn 1,000 Tier Credits in one day and receive an additional 1,000 Tier Credit bonus
*Earn 2,500 Tier Credits in one day and receive an additional 5,000 Tier Credit bonus

Total Rewards Partners With Starwood Hotels
Caesars Entertainment and Starwood are partnering up. A new union between Caesars' Total Rewards and Starwood's SPG is huge for members who visit Las Vegas often.
Customers who connect their Total Rewards and SPG accounts will be able to earn points and credits for stays and other benefits at participating hotels and resorts across both networks. The partnership begins January 9, but you can sign up now at both Total Rewards and SPG.

Caesars Really Wants You To Play Online Poker
WSOP.com, Nevada's second real-money online poker site to launch this year, is just over two months old. Competitor Ultimate Poker got a five-month head start by getting cards in the air, so to speak, back in April. Its launch was a bit subdued and relied on in-house advertising resources. WSOP.com, owned by Caesars Interactive Entertainment, is taking a more explosive approach in trying to sign up new players and take control of the online poker market. If you have a Total Rewards account, step foot in a Caesars hotel room, or even watch TV in the state of Nevada, Caesars is going to let you know about WSOP.com.
Online, Caesars is promoting WSOP.com through many of its own websites. WSOP.com staff are reaching out to gamblers elsewhere on the web and regularly post on poker message boards. Additionally, WSOP.com targets existing Total Rewards members with a rewards system that connects to their accounts. Although the levels don't match up exactly, it is possible to advance your casino status through online play and vice versa. Credits earned online can also be converted to credits for use at Caesars properties.

Cosmopolitan's Identity Gets A Little More Transparent
Players clubs are great because they offer discounts, random gifts and complimentary items. It's important to remember that nothing is free and these rewards are based on our loyalty and spending.
While many players clubs detail how much money spent equals a certain reward, they will often leave their table play more ambiguous. For example, while Total Rewards specifically details that $1 spent on dining equals 1 reward credit their explanation for how to earn rewards by playing blackjack or other table games isn't so specific.

Keep Your Total Rewards Points Alive Without Stepping Into A Casino
Total Rewards is the largest casino players club and has taken steps to, possibly, be the best. Their algorithms may be confusing and the rewards may not entirely make sense, but they do make it easy to earn and keep reward credits.
Total Rewards credits expire after six months of inactivity so you'll have to visit a Caesars property every six months to keep your points alive. Well, you used to have to visit a Caesars property. Total Rewards now has a few ways to earn Reward Credits (not Tier Credits) to keep your account active without stepping into a casino. It's a nice perk for people that can't make it to Las Vegas as often as they'd like.
Earlier this year, Caesars introduced a new Total Rewards credit card that offers many benefits including a Platinum Total Rewards upgrade along with Reward Credits, a Buffet o' Buffet pass and more. One of the sneaky benefits of the Total Rewards credit card can be found when browsing the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Housing prices rose 7.3% in 2012
The latest Case-Shiller numbers show that prices rose in 19 of the 20 cities tracked in 2012. Increases ranged from 2.2% in Chicago to 23% in Phoenix.
In another sign the housing market is healing, Case-Shiller reports that home prices rose 7.3% nationwide from the end of 2011 to the end of 2012.
Of the 20 cities tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, 19 showed an increase in home prices between December 2011 and December 2012. The exception was New York City, where prices fell 0.5%. Case-Shiller's 10-city index showed prices up 5.9%, and the 20-city composite found prices up 6.8%.
While the data look good, prices are still 29% below the peak in 2006. And Case Shiller's David Blitzer warned that price increases are likely to slow.
"These movements, combined with other housing data, suggest that while housing is on the upswing, some of the strongest numbers may have already been seen," Blitzer, chairman of the index committee, said in a news release.
The 19 cities where prices increased showed gains ranging from 2.2% in Chicago, which has lagged on most indicators, to 23% in Phoenix, which has shown double-digit improvement for the past eight month.
The year-over-year increases of 9.9% in Atlanta and 13.6% in Detroit were the two cities' best showings since 1991, as far back as the indices have calculated. The increases in Dallas (6.5%), Denver (8.5%) and Minneapolis (12.2%) were the largest annual increases in those cities since 2001.
The cities posting the largest annual gains in home prices were:
- Phoenix: 23%.
- San Francisco: 14.4%.
- Detroit: 13.6%.
- Las Vegas: 12.9%.
- Minneapolis: 12.2%.
The cities showing the lowest rates of price growth in 2012 were:
- New York: down 0.5%
- Chicago: up 2.2%.
- Cleveland: up 2.9%.
- Boston: up 3.6%.
- Charlotte, N.C.: up 5.3%
