Pentaho released an update to its open-source business intelligence software that makes it a more viable option for corporate users, industry analysts said.
Version 1.6 of the Pentaho Open BI Suite, announced this week, adds a metadata layer and a thin-client reporting interface that allows nontechnical users to generate ad hoc queries and reports, the company said.
Ad hoc querying is a basic BI capability long available in mature products from the likes of Business Objects and Cognos. Its addition to Pentaho's BI Suite is an important development for the product, said David Stoddard, a vice president and research director with Ventana Research.
"This makes Pentaho more competitive with other players," he said. "It can now be thought of as a real enterprise tool."
The metadata layer allows IT staff to create reusable definitions for business terms such as "customer" and "region" that allow end users to create their own queries without needing to understand the mechanics of databases or SQL queries, said Lance Walter, Pentaho's vice president of marketing.
"Business users want the ability to log into the system and say 'I want to see customer orders, for the last two quarters, for the northeast region,' and now they'll now be able to create those reports based on the metadata layer that IT has set up for them," he said.
"This isn't a brand new capability, it's something that BI has been founded on. The difference with us is we've made it available in an open source format that you can go to our Web site and download," he said.
Pentaho based its metadata layer on the Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM), a specificationfrom the Object Management Group. CWM should make it easier for customers to switch between different BI tools because they don't have to learn a new metadata model.
James Kobielus, a principal analyst with Current Analysis, applauded the effort but said it's unclear what value it will have because the spec has gained little traction in the market. Stoddard was more upbeat, saying Pentaho's support for CWM is a vote of confidence for the standard.
Pentaho is based in the US, and was founded in 2005. Its software can be downloaded for free under the Mozilla Public License, and Pentaho makes money selling support, consulting and other services.
The company claims to have several large customers, including Motorola, MySQL, Terra Industries and BNSF Logistics, although it won't say how many paying customers it has. The company is not profitable yet, Walter said, and won't say when it plans to be.
Its BI Suite starts at US$12,000 per module for a four-CPU subscription, including technical support, indemnification and some managed services. The modules are Reporting (including the metadata and ad hoc querying), Analysis, Data Integration, Dashboards and Data Mining.
A wave of consolidation in the BI industry, including Oracle's acquisition of Hyperion and SAP's proposed merger with Business Objects, announced this week, could help Pentaho if customers prefer to work with an independent vendor, Stoddard said.
Pentaho's nearest competitor is probably JasperSoft, an open-source BI vendor based in San Francisco. It has a different business model from Pentaho, offering a basic version of its software for free under an open-source license, and a more advanced version, including the ad hoc reporting capabilities, under a paid commercial license, according to information on its Web site.

What are Functional Foods?
In our last article, we used the Hippocrates quote "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," to illuminate the idea that food can be a powerful deterrent and cure of many diseases and ailments. Hippocrates (rightfully) believed that the things that you eat can help the body fend of disease and that food should be the first line of disease defense and used as a disease preventative mechanism (my interpretation). To further reinforce this concept, there is a quote from a past Surgeon General of the United States that went something like this:
"80 % of diseases were caused by poor diet" Although I can't track down the specific reference to this quote, it certainly makes sense to me and that it is an appropriate quote for a Surgeon General to make.
Along the lines of food as medicine, there is a term "functional foods" that is used to define foods that provide health benefits over and above basic nutrition. The term functional food was first used in Japan in the 1980s to classify foods that meet the above criteria.
In the United States, the FDA does not have a regulatory definition for functional foods. However, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics defines a functional food as "a food that provides additional health benefits that may reduce disease risk and/or promote good health."
When it comes to our dogs, there have been many studies that have explored the health benefits of certain foods. Sophia Yin, DVM in her great article entitled "Can Diet Overcome DNA" in TheBark magazine, referred to fish oil as a treatment for canine arthritis and a type of prebiotic (fructooligosaccharide) as a possible aid in the treatment of diabetes. These studies are from the branch of nutrition called nutrigenomics which is the study of how nutrients can affect gene expression. Nutrigenomics examines the interaction in the body between nutrients and genes and studies whether specific nutrients can turn on the good genes and turn off the harmful ones. Sort of like medicine.
In the arthritis study, researchers at Purina, led by Dr. Steven Hannah, concluded that after being fed diets higher in Omega‐3 fatty acids, the dog's joints contained less of the enzyme that degrades the cartilage, and more of the protein that inhibited these enzymes. Furthermore, a force plate analysis showed that affected dogs did indeed feel relief from arthritic pain and less lameness after the Omega-3 diet.
In the diabetes study led by Dr. Kelly Swanson, adjunct assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, the prebiotic was fed to stimulate and feed beneficial microbes in the gut. The researchers concluded that the diet improved insulin sensitivity in fat cells of obese dogs, which suggests that a diet containing this type of prebiotic could be useful in diabetic patients.
Both of these studies provide great examples of how specific ingredients in some dog foods can act as medicine. There was another study, on food and obesity that was referenced in the Yin piece. Performed at Hills Pet Nutrition, researchers found that specific foods could change a dog's genes and turn an obese dog's body from fat storing to fat burning. This study is very interesting to me and I will be doing a deeper analysis on it for a future article.
There are a lot of other examples of functional foods that can provide significant health benefits besides basic nutrition. In coming posts, we will highlight other functional foods and their associated health benefits. In the meantime, have you fed your dog their fish (or fish oil) today?

Very interesting. The Veterinary community is finding out how beneficial prebiotics are becoming in helping out many conditions and having a health benefit on animals not only in straightening out the bacteria in the gut. We use purina fortia flora and it has been shown to be a appetite stimulant for dogs and cats that aren't eating well.

EXACTLY! Since cancer in people has been reversed by diet, it must also hold true in our beloved pets. I would love to make my own dog food so I'm waiting to hear more about this from you and what to add, in addition to the fish oil. TY!
We love functional foods & are looking forward to more of your articles about them!
P.S. The pups got their omega-3 fatty acids with their serving of breakfast this morning! (I got mine in my chia seeds I sprinkled on my cereal).

We believe in functional foods. Lots of the health issues today are cause by bad diets for sure. No fish oil here, though. Fish stuff is one thing my mom refuses to deal with…fish phobia of some sort I think. We'll be interested to hear more.

It's not until I read articles like this that I remember I was going to give my dogs fish oil. Thank you. I have some in the cupboard.
Functional foods makes a lot of sense. We eat to fuel our bodies so why wouldn't we do the same for our pups. Wish everyone would think this way! Great post, can't wait to read your next post!

I'm not sure I've heard of the term 'functional foods' before, I like it! It helps to move food out of the 'entertainment' category and into a healthier one. For dogs and ourselves.
After started my dogs (8 years old) on fish oil and noticed an improvement in their mobility.

I find I spend more time worrying about Harley's nutritional needs than I do my own LOL Gotta get better in that area. We do the coconut oil – fish oil makes me gag AND it's so heavy. Harley was struggling with it himself.
We give the boys a hip & joint supplement that contains fish oil in it each day. They love fish treats and dog food. We switch flavors up for them.

Great article! Our dogs love fish oils, coconut oil too. They get a few bites of every fish dinner we have, and a taste of the skin too if that's involved. When we order out- we always bring home a doggie bag of all the fish extras for them 🙂

Thunder and Storm have had salmon as their main protein in their food for years. I think it definitely has helped their joints. Freighter did not do well on salmon as a young dog, but now that he is older and mature we are going to try him on it again. I think there are a lot of benefits besides joint health like skin and coat health.

So no fish oil for them but we do give them coconut oil and a glucosamine supplement – we're starting them young because we do so much outdoor activities and sports.

They came into the home of American citizens, took their child (5+ weeks old and nursing) into state custody and placed it in foster care. Why? Because the parents, due to their religious beliefs, objected to a test the state had mandated. The child's health wasn't in danger, he didn't need any medical treatment, in fact he is quite healthy. But the state felt that its priorities and decisions overruled those of the parents and drew the child's blood over the parents strenuous objections. Chilling.
Keeping that in mind, imagine, if you will, what powers the state will be left to exercise if it eventually is placed charge of every aspect of your health care.
And there exists a sizeable chunk of people in this country who think that what we need more of is more and bigger government. I'd call them stupid, except that I'd be insulting stupid people.

Introduction: Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional protein and a unique 1-Cys Prdx of the peroxiredoxin family. The expression and regulation of Prdx6 are implicated in numerous physiological and pathological processes.
Material and Methods: Eight stepwise truncated DNA fragments obtained from the 5′-flank region of the Prdx6 gene were prepared and subcloned into the pSEAP2-Enhancer vectors. To investigate the transcriptional activity of the truncated DNA fragments, the recombinant plasmids were transfected into the COS-1 cells and the transcriptional activity was measured via assaying the expression of the reporter gene of the secreted alkaline phosphatase.
Results: A 3.4 kb 5′-upstream flank region of the Prdx6 gene was cloned and sequenced. The region from −108 nt to −36 nt of the 5′-flanking region of the Prdx6 gene contained basal transcriptional activity.
Conclusion: This result provides the basis for further studies on the gene regulation of the Prdx6-mediated biological processes and on screening for the transacting factors that interact with cis-acting elements of the Prdx6 gene promoter.
Introduction: Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional protein with glutathione peroxidase activity and phospholipase A2 activity. Previous studies have shown a significant positive correlation between the intracellular survival ability of Brucella and Prdx6. Here, the Prdx6 enzyme with a single activity was constructed to facilitate study of the relationship between the single function of Prdx6 and Brucella infection.
Material and Methods: The target open reading frame (ORF) DNAs of Prdx6 with a single active centre were prepared using gene splicing by overlap extension PCR (SOE-PCR), and the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids inserted by Prdx6 with the single activity centre were constructed and transfected into murine Raw264.7 macrophages. The glutathione peroxidase activity and phospholipase A2 activity of the constructed Prdx6 were examined.
Results: The core centres (Ser32 and Cys47) of Prdx6 were successfully mutated by changing the 94th nucleotide from T to G and the 140th nucleotide from G to C in the two enzyme activity cores, respectively. The constructed recombinant plasmids of Prdx6 with the single active centre were transfected into murine macrophages showing the expected single functional enzyme activity, which MJ33 or mercaptosuccinate inhibitors were able to inhibit.
Conclusion: The constructed mutants of Prdx6 with the single activity cores will be a benefit to further study of the biological function of Prdx6 with different enzyme activity.

According to the CDC, as many as 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year in the United States. Although the majority of these athletes will recover quickly, others may experience physical, cognitive and neurobehavioral difficulties. Lisa Carpenter, RPT and director of the Concussion Management Program at Centerpoint Medical Center and Overland Park Regional Medical Center, says ImPACT testing, which is used by the NFL, MLB and NHL, can be helpful in assessing an athlete's recovery by providing a pre-injury baseline of cognitive functions such as memory, focus and concentration.KCTV5

Back and abdominal support belt
Support belt works in several ways. It lifts the abdomen and relives pressure from the low back area providing, at the same time, compression and support to the lumbar (low back) region. This compression also creates warmth and increased blood flow to the low back, thus encouraging flexible muscles and therapeutic healing. By providing support and compression to the hips, the garment helps to stabilize the weakened hip area and reduce pain. Moreover, belt helps maintain proper posture and prevent stretch marks.

QuickGold is a Free iPhone or iPod touch application. It intends to replace the "Quicksilver for the iPhone", therefore the name is QuickGold. It is a keyboard-based app launcher which can be called on by pressing the home button when you are at the homescreen.
Once activated you can then start typing and view its dynamic results which rapidly match what you are hunting for. Any app on your home screen (including web clips) can be matched by QuickGold, contacts and phone numbers can be searched for, web pages in your Safari history can be launched, and even includes built-in keyword search.
This application is only accessible for jailbroken iPhones through Cydia. QuickGold's one of the biggest frustrations for App Store development is demonstrated—i.e. that this app will never enter the app store under Apple's current restrictions.
