MINNETONKA, MN, July 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Submittal Exchange announces the full integration of Greengrade LEED Management Software with its core Integrated Project Collaboration Software, Submittal Exchange for Construction. The timing of the announcement coincides with Greengrade's successful direct integration with USGBC's LEED Online for submitting LEED certification applications. Greengrade is a collaborative online management software tool that allows LEED project teams to communicate, track and manage LEED project information from planning to submission. The new integration between LEED Online and Greengrade significantly increases efficiency in LEED project management by eliminating the need to manage documents and data in multiple platforms and/or software.
"The seamless integration of Greengrade within Submittal Exchange allows LEED project teams to become even more efficient and transparent in their communications," said Matt Ostanik, CEO of Submittal Exchange. "By fully integrating the two collaborative systems, LEED project management time is significantly reduced. Submittal Exchange and Greengrade offer the first and only integrated solution that allows project teams to gather required LEED information from submittals using sophisticated workflow tools, then manage that information to directly submit to LEED Online."
In addition to streamlining the use of multiple software tools, Greengrade's direct integration with LEED Online increases collaboration across the whole project team and creates additional layers of accountability, accessibility and audit-ability. By increasing collaboration and directly communicating with LEED Online, Greengrade is able to positively impact the accuracy of LEED project submissions.
"We are thrilled that USGBC has taken the steps to enable direct integration with Greengrade's management software," said Mike Stuart, CEO of Greengrade. "Our goal is to continuously increase efficiency in managing LEED projects, thereby increasing the viability of pursuing LEED certification. Integrating with LEED Online is a big step in the right direction."
As automation of the LEED process evolves, Submittal Exchange and Greengrade continue to lead the way by integrating with a wide range of technology partners, including LEEDUser and GreenWizard. These integration points serve as enablers for higher levels of collaboration and efficiency across the entire project team.

OAI: GM Auto Insurance Offer Highlights Minimum Coverage Issue
2011-07-12
General Motors recently announced that it would be teaming up with coverage provider MetLife to offer car insurance with no down payment and no payments for the entire first year following the purchase of certain GM models in Oregon and Washington.
What's surprising about the financial protection provided for free through the offer is that it far exceeds the requirements set by law in the two states.
Washington currently requires drivers to only carry $25,000 in bodily injury liability protection per person and $50,000 total per accident, along with $10,000 in property ...
Providers Prefer Interface Engine Solutions that Deliver High-performance Interoperability for Seamless Data Flow
2011-07-12
The ever-expanding number of technology applications, combined with meaningful use and other initiatives, results in the increasing demand for application interoperability in healthcare organizations. This in turn places greater pressure and incentive on those organizations to find better and easier ways to facilitate interfacing. Providers want all the horsepower of a robust, scalable, and flexible interface engine (IE) wrapped up in an easy-to-use package. KLAS' new report entitled "Interface Engines: Beyond Interoperability" scrutinizes vendor performance, ...
Genetic study sheds new light on auto-immune arthritis
2011-07-12
The team of researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Queensland (Australia), Oxford, Texas and Toronto, used a technique called genome-wide association where millions of genetic markers are measured in thousands of people that have the disease and thousands of healthy individuals.
Markers which are more frequent in individuals with the disease are more likely to be involved in the condition.
Using this approach the investigators found an additional seven genes likely to be involved in the condition, bringing the total number of genes known to predispose to AS ...
Unlocking the genetics and biology of ankylosing spondylitis
2011-07-12
A study involving over 5,000 people living with the joint disorder ankylosing spondylitis has identified a series of genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility to the condition as well as providing new clues to how the condition may be treated in the future.
The study, a collaboration between the Australo-Anglo-American Spondyloarthritis Consortium and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, also provides one of the first confirmed examples of gene-gene interaction seen in humans.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease that affects as many ...
Light propagation controlled in photonic chips -- major breakthrough in telecommunications field
2011-07-12
New York, NY — July 10, 2011 — Researchers at Columbia Engineering School have built optical nanostructures that enable them to engineer the index of refraction and fully control light dispersion. They have shown that it is possible for light (electromagnetic waves) to propagate from point A to point B without accumulating any phase, spreading through the artificial medium as if the medium is completely missing in space. This is the first time simultaneous phase and zero-index observations have been made on the chip-scale and at the infrared wavelength.
The study, to ...
U of T researchers build an antenna for light
2011-07-12
TORONTO, ON – University of Toronto researchers have derived inspiration from the photosynthetic apparatus in plants to engineer a new generation of nanomaterials that control and direct the energy absorbed from light.
Their findings are reported in a forthcoming issue of Nature Nanotechnology, which will be released on July 10, 2011.
The U of T researchers, led by Professors Shana Kelley and Ted Sargent, report the construction of what they term "artificial molecules."
"Nanotechnologists have for many years been captivated by quantum dots – particles of semiconductor ...
Quick test can predict immune responses to flu shots
2011-07-12
Researchers at the Emory Vaccine Center have developed a method for predicting whether someone will produce high levels of antibodies against a flu shot a few days after vaccination.
After scanning the extent to which carefully selected genes are turned on in white blood cells, the researchers can predict on day three, with up to 90 percent accuracy, who will make high levels of antibodies against a standard flu shot four weeks later.
The results were published online July 10 in the journal Nature Immunology.
"It often takes several weeks after vaccination for an ...
A murder in the magpie's nest

VIDEO:
This is a video of a violent interaction between the mother and the perpetrator recorded on the first day of infanticide recorded on April 28, 2010.
Click here for more information.
Finding their young dead in the nest is not uncommon for bird mothers. In many bird species some of the nestlings die before they leave the nest. This is known as "brood reduction", a common form of infanticide that the parents are to blame.
On the other hand, witnessing a perpetrator killing ...
Olympia hypothesis: Tsunamis buried the cult site on the Peloponnese
2011-07-12
Olympia, site of the famous Temple of Zeus and original venue of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, was presumably destroyed by repeated tsunamis that travelled considerable distances inland, and not by earthquake and river floods as has been assumed to date. Evidence in support of this new theory on the virtual disappearance of the ancient cult site on the Peloponnesian peninsula comes from Professor Dr Andreas Vött of the Institute of Geography of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Vött investigated the site as part of a project in which he and his team are ...
Ant colonies: Behavioral variability wins
2011-07-12
They attack other colonies, plunder and rob, kill other colonies' inhabitants or keep them as slaves: Ants are usually regarded as prototypes of social beings that are prepared to sacrifice their lives for their community, but they can also display extremely aggressive behavior towards other nests. The evolution and behavior of ants, in particular the relationship between socially parasitic ants and their hosts, is the research topic of a work group headed by Professor Dr Susanne Foitzik at the Institute of Zoology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Evolutionary ...
