Entrepreneurs scratching to find sources of startup capital in San Diego will soon be getting help from an unexpected source. The Rady School of Management at UC San Diego says it is launching its own venture fund that will use donor funds to make investments of $75,000 to $100,000 in startups commercializing new technologies.

The Rady Venture Fund, which the business school describes as the first of its kind in San Diego, is modeled after the Wolverine Venture Fund, founded in 1997 by the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. The Michigan venture fund typically invests from $50,000 to $200,000 in seed and early-stage funding rounds in syndication with other VC firms and angel investors.

“Our objective is to provide hands-on educational experience to UCSD MBA students—not on making returns on our investment,” says Lada Rasochova, a Rady School alumna who put the fund together as director of entrepreneurship at the UCSD business school. Yet Rasochova noted the Wolverine Venture Fund has made some successful investments, notably in Irvine, CA-based IntraLase Corp., and Ann Arbor, MI-based HandyLab, which was acquired less than four months ago by Becton-Dickinson for a reported $300 million. The Wolverine Venture Fund is estimated to have made $2 million on a $300,000 investment in the medical technology startup.

An external advisory board made up of venture investors, entrepreneurs, and community leaders will help provide guidance on the fund and associated coursework. Rasochova says there also are two “safety checks” on venture investments made by the fund. She says a committee that includes venture industry veterans will make investment decisions, and investments only will be made jointly with another VC firm. Rasochova says Rady students will participate in the entire investment process, “so we would prefer to make investments in the San Diego region so our students can help them succeed.”

The program, which is open to both full-time and flex-time MBA students, includes a more academic course in venture finance and investment analysis and what Rasochova calls two “hands-on” classes that enable students to vet business plans, support entrepreneurs, and help manage the fund and its venture investments.

The Rady Venture Fund is expected to make only one or two investments per year in startups focused on high technology or the life sciences, although Rasochova says the fund has ruled out drug development companies because of the extraordinary time and costs involved.

Because the Rady Venture Fund is funded by donations to the business school through the UC San Diego Foundation, Rasochova says any investment returns will revert to the venture fund and the Rady School of Management. If there was a really huge return, she says, Rady School Dean Robert S. Sullivan would decide how any spillover funds would be used.

A big topic in this morning’s Gartman Letter is China and its well-known real-estate boom.

The Gartman Letter: Moving on, the news of the People’s Bank of China’s move to again tighten monetary policy had the effect one might have expected upon Chinese equities: they fell and they fell rather sharply… initially. Interestingly, by the day’s end, after having sold off sharply, share prices in China rallied and rallied quite materially, finishing up nearly 2%! It was really most impressive action.

As noted above on p.1, the People’s Bank moved to allow its “auction” rate on year bills to rise 8 bps, after having allowed the auction rate on shorter term bills last week to do the same. The Bank is concerned about a “Bubble” in real estate prices all across the country, but most notably along the eastern seacoast in Shanghai, Tientsin, Guangzhou, et al…and it wishes to stop that Bubble from becoming worse.

The one certain way to do so is to raise interest rates and to make bank lending more difficult and more expensive. The Bank is doing precisely that, but in the process it is having an interestingly supportive effect upon stock prices. Perhaps the market believes that money will move quietly away from land and move toward equities, or perhaps the market is simply coming to understand that the global economy is strong and getting stronger and that profits shall soon be higher and rising.

Interesting, no?

After nearly a year of debate within the House and Senate, the Affordable Health Care for America Act was passed and will soon become law. This bill’s primary aim is to extend coverage to the more than 30 million Americans without coverage today.

This bill has received stiff opposition from the Republican Party. It is quite an accomplishment to finally achieve some legislation to address an issue that has been pressing America for several decades. In close examination of both versions of this bill, there will certainly be some things that students on campus will find positive and certainly some that will be much less pleasing. The Editorial Board believes that there are some aspects of this bill, in particular, that will benefit the Stanford community greatly, and the bill’s shortcomings can be mended in the long run if we as citizens continue to follow the progress of health care in America.

A major complaint about this bill is that it presents immediate costs with delayed benefits. The bill mandates individuals to attain health insurance and requires that most employers provide insurance to their employees as well, a system not altogether different from the current system here at Stanford. College-age individuals, for example, receive a very immediate and significant benefit: extended coverage for young adults, which would allow college-age Americans to stay on their parents’ insurance plan until the age of 26, rather than the usual 19 or 21. This measure saves money for families across America and will prove useful to many members of the Stanford community, particularly in a time of economic recovery.

But the extension of health coverage in this country must come at a cost to everyone involved in the system. Estimates place the cost of this act at nearly a trillion dollars, to be added to the already ballooning national budget and deficit. The most efficient path to minimizing these costs is not to continue to ignore those Americans without coverage, but to place increasing pressure on the health care industry to make its costs more reasonable. The U.S. spends more than two times that of other developed nations, per capita, on health expenditures, despite the fact that our overall health as a nation suffers in comparison to Europe and other industrialized areas.

Now that this debate has taken place on a national level, we hopefully have entered an era where the issues of heath coverage and insurance costs is something very deliberately and openly discussed among the American public, and not decided by an oligarchy of politicians and health care institutions. When the Senate and House versions of this act are reconciled and finally adapted to law, Democrats and Republicans alike should not view this as an end to the health care debate in this country, but merely the beginning of an enduring challenge to make health coverage affordable and fair.

[Updated and clarified—1/12/10, 2:30 pm ET, with timing of potential human study and other details] CardiAQ Valve Technologies, which is developing a catheter-based alternative to open-heart surgery for mitral valve implantation, reports today that it has raised $6.5 million in a Series A round of funding. The funding is expected to support R&D needed to advance the firm’s main product to human studies.

Rob Michiels, the former president and COO of CoreValve (now Medtronic CoreValve) and a board member at CardiAQ, led the round, which included angel investors that backed CoreValve in 2002, according to CardiAQ. Previous investor Broadview Ventures also contributed to the financing. The financing includes the conversion of $1.5 million in debt to equity in CardiAQ, meaning that there was a total of $5 million in new capital raised in the deal, said CEO J. Brent Ratz, in an interview. CoreValve, a California provider of a catheter-based system for aortic valve replacement, was acquired by Minneapolis-based medical devices giant Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) in April 2009 for an impressive $700 million. The deal was one of the largest M&A transactions in the medical devices industry last year. [The above paragraph was updated to add information about the firm’s debt-to-equity conversion in its latest round of financing.]

CardiAQ has garnered high praise from Michiels for its approach to treating mitral regurgitation, a heart disease in which the mitral valve fails to close and allows blood to leak backward between the two left chambers of the heart. The standard treatment for this problem is open-heart surgery, which poses health risks to patients such as heart attacks and infections. CardiAQ and other medtech startups such as Stoughton, MA-based CardioSolutions are developing techniques to avoid open-heart surgeries by either replacing or repairing failed mitral valves with catheter-based approaches.

“[CardiAQ’s] success in raising this over-subscribed round in record time is a dramatic endorsement of the strength of our transcatheter mitral valve implantation concept for patients who suffer from functional mitral regurgitation and are often too sick to have [open-heart] surgery,” said CEO Ratz, in a statement. “Our valve replacement technology will facilitate a non-surgical alternative that could be more effective than transcatheter repair and just as effective as surgical replacement in a mitral market that is estimated to be $1.2 billion by 2014.”

Ratz said that the company is aiming to begin human studies of its mitral valve-implantation system in 2011. Arshad Quadri, a cardiac surgeon at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT, is the founder and chief medical officer of the company. [This paragraph was changed to add information on when the firm expects to begin human studies.]

Premier provides 2010 exploration update – 5 major drill programs totalling approximately 100,000 metres drilling

There were whispers about this last fall, but now it’s official: The Alphabet Network is forging ahead with plans to premiere The Bachelor All-Stars.

ABC has ordered a six-episode spinoff of its wildly-popular Bachelor series that will see 20 former contestants from the past 13 seasons of The Bachelor and past 5 of the Bachelorette residing under one roof for an “all-star” reunion series, The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.

Members of the house will compete in challenges with one contestant being eliminated at the conclusion of each show.

“All these people have been friends, been enemies, they date each other and bring all this great backstory to the show,” says Bachelor executive producer Martin Hilton. “It seemed like there was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive reality show.”

Bachelor Pad, hosted by The Bachelor’s Chris Harrison, is expected to premiere on ABC in the Summer of 2010.

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

Syclo, a market leader in mobile platform technology and applications, announced today it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders” Quadrant of its 2009 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms* report.

This recognition caps off a banner 2009 for Syclo — already with one of the largest enterprise mobile installed bases, the Chicago-based firm grew much faster than the average market pace by adding 72 new customers that included Fortune 500 companies in oil and gas, life sciences and manufacturing as well as major utilities and government agencies.

Syclo’s success has also been fueled by an aggressive international expansion and strengthening of its partnership with software giant SAP® AG.

Earlier in the year, SAP and Syclo signed an agreement centered around co-innovation to deliver mobile extensions of SAP ERP and SAP CRM systems.

A mobile enterprise application platform (or MEAP) is a framework that lets companies effectively develop, test, deploy and manage multiple mobile solutions across their organization.

MEAPs address the difficulties of developing mobile software by managing the diversity of devices, networks and user groups at the time of deployment and throughout the mobile solution’s lifecycle.

In Syclo’s experience, this flexibility can produce costs savings of 15-20% compared to using code-centric approaches. Gartner states, “We believe that more than 95% of organizations will be choosing MEAP or packaged mobile application vendors as their primary mobile development platforms through 2012.”

“We believe Syclo’s market growth in a year when many companies are slashing costs just to stay competitive shows why we’re a leader. We have the superior vision to help you strategically address the complexities of today and tomorrow — as well as the experience for execution excellence,” said Richard Padula, President and CEO of Syclo.

“To help customers reliably drive efficiency, cut costs and improve productivity, we continue to invest in our core Agentry mobile platform technology and pre-packaged suite of SMART mobile applications. They’re faster, smarter, more versatile and easier to deploy and use than other comparative offerings, so we can turn these leading-edge advances into greater ROI for our customer base.”

Syclo’s strategy is twofold: bring the most innovative technology and products to market and deliver world-class services and support to its customers.

Even in a year of global economic downturn, the privately held company continued to bolster its customer support and professional services organizations, and it’s pushing the technology envelope with the latest release (5.1) of its Agentry mobile platform.

Key among the platform’s 5.1 enhancements is new Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionality, which centralizes monitoring, tracking and control over your entire population of devices to help control costs and increase security. Agentry is the first enterprise mobile platform to come embedded with MDM. Agentry 5.1 includes this technology at no extra cost to Syclo customers.

The criteria used by Gartner to evaluate 11 Mobile Enterprise Application Platform vendors were based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision.

Gartner places each of the vendors in one of four “quadrants”: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries or Niche Players.

In this Year of the Elephant, at least one Democrat is doing fine. That would be North Carolina Rep. Larry Kissell, who is in a conservative district, but is leading in polls by 14-18 points.

But, as Dave Wiegel notes, he’s an opponent of the current healthcare reform bill, and so his GOP opponent doesn’t have much to run on.

This is why healthcare reform is no done deal just yet.

As fellow Democrats watch Kissell and the race in deep blue Massachusetts, it’s easy to see which side to play on if you want re-election.

Greenpeace released its Guide to Greener Electronics report last week, and Nintendo happened to be at dead last on the list (qjnet/nintendo-ds/nintendo-still-dead-last-in-greanpeace-guide-to-greener-electronics.html). Rushing to the defense of their hardware, Nintendo issues a statement to debunk the report,

Nissan will be developing two subcompact vehicles for the American market to be based off of the carmaker’s global V platform. The as-of-yet unnamed models will supplant the Versa as the companies smallest vehicle in the U.S., and will sell for an attractive figure; under $10,000.

To be sourced in Mexico, the V platform will support three cars; two of which will be sol din the U.S., but all three to be sold in Central and South America. There was no mention of the equipment to be available in the cars, but one can make an educated guess; the compact Versa MSRP’s for just under $10,000 and there are no power windows and a radio is optional.

It is anticipated that the Mexican plant will put out approximately 200,000 vehicles per year; engines and transmissions included. The company forecasts the production of at least 1 million V based vehicles a year throughout its five capable plants.

WASHINGTON, EFE

Sony Ericsson y Nokia son las compañías con menos contaminación, según un informe dado a conocer por Greenpeace, que colocó a los fabricantes Nintendo, Microsoft y Lenovo al final de la lista en términos medioambientales.

La ‘Guía para una electrónica más verde’ de dicha organización, que este año cumple 14 años, también criticó a gigantes del sector como Samsung, Dell y LG Electronics por no cumplir sus promesas de eliminar de forma paulatina productos tóxicos en sus productos.

Los mejores
En el otro extremo se sitúan Apple y HP (además de las ya mencionadas Sony Ericsson y Nokia), que según Greenpeace están liderando al sector con la retirada de sustancias peligrosas de sus líneas de producción.
Por ejemplo, HP presentó en la feria CES que se celebra en Las Vegas (EE.UU.) el ordenador Compaq 8000f Elite, el primer aparato de la compañía que no contiene ni vinilo (plástico PVC) ni retardantes brominatados (BFR).

Según los ecologistas, la mayoría de los grandes fabricantes de productos electrónicos del planeta se habían comprometido eliminar el PVC de sus aparatos para finales de 2009, pero la realidad es que han retrasado su compromiso por lo menos hasta el 2011, lo que la Organización considera una muestra de su falta de interés.

Greenpeace dijo que el PVC es “de todos los plásticos el más dañino en términos medioambientales y puede formar dioxinas, un conocido cancerígeno, cuando es quemado”.

Dadas las circunstancias climáticas, no es del todo sorprendente que muchos se pregunten, alzando las cejas, “¿qué pasó con el calentamiento global?”.

La respuesta de los científicos es inequívoca: “es indudable que en los últimos 100 años el mundo se ha calentado”, dijo Rob Varley, investigador de la Oficina Meteorológica del Reino Unido (Met, por sus siglas en inglés), “y está claro que las temperaturas seguirán aumentando. El hecho de que mi jardín esté un poco más nevado en estos días no modifica eso en un ápice”.

Sin apresurarse
Si bien las temperaturas heladas pueden inducirnos a creer que lo que está ocurriendo es precisamente lo contrario, los expertos advierten que no hay que confundir el clima con el estado del tiempo.
El tiempo es la variación climática que ocurre día a día o mes a mes.
El clima, en cambio, es el estado del tiempo durante un período de 30 años y eso, afirman los expertos, es lo que está cambiando.

Según le explicó al diario británico ‘Telegraph’ Stephen Dorling, experto en Ciencias Medioambientales de la Universidad de East Anglia, en el Reino Unido, no es correcto sacar conclusiones de un hecho aislado, ya se trate de una ola de frío o de una de calor, ya que estos eventos forman parte de la variabilidad del clima.

Lo que hay que destacar, señala Dorling, son las tendencias del clima a largo plazo, que son las que ofrecen evidencias más firmes sobre las transformaciones que ocurren en el clima.

Pronósticos erróneos
Para agosto de 2009, la Oficina Meteorológica del Reino Unido (Met, por sus siglas en inglés), predijo un verano seco y caluroso, un error que se disipó muy pronto con la llegada de lluvias y un calor que nunca llegó a materializarse. Para diciembre y enero el pronóstico auguraba un invierno templado y lluvioso. Nuevamente, el anuncio fue errado.

Pero, para los científicos, estos desaciertos no son más que una confirmación de que el clima está cambiando. Según los especialistas, una de las consecuencias del cambio climático es precisamente la imposibilidad de hacer predicciones acertadas de uno a seis meses, debido a que el calentamiento global está interfiriendo con los patrones del clima, que ya no siguen su curso habitual.

Just yesterday, we brought you live images of the 2011 BMW 74oi from the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. BMW has now announced pricing on the new 2011 740i and the 740Li, both which are powered by a twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine.

Pricing will start at $71,025 for the 740i and $75,425 for the long wheelbase 740Li. That’s $10,795 less than the current entry-level model 750i, which starts at $82,000. Sales of the 74o models will begin in Spring 2010.

Both models will be available with the full complement of well-known 7 Series options and packages, including the M Sport Package, Driver Assistance Package, Luxury Seating Packages, Rear Entertainment Package, and even the BMW Individual Composition Package.

Refresher: The 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li are powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline 6-cylinder unit making 315-hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Press Release:

The 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li Sedans Pricing Announced

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 11, 2010 … As an exciting example of its EfficientDynamics engineering philosophy, BMW announced the North American debut of the 7 Series with a twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine. Featuring BMW’s award-winning inline-6 engine that produces V-8 power on six-cylinder fuel consumption, the new BMW 740i and BMW 740Li achieve a remarkable balance of power, efficiency, and sporty driving dynamics. Both models will go on sale in the United States as 2011 models in Spring 2010. The M.S.R.P. of the 740i is $71,025 and the long wheelbase 740Li will retail for $75,425 (prices Include $875 Destination and Handling charge).

In 1977, the original BMW 7 Series was launched exclusively with inline-6 propulsion. The United States first met the BMW 7 Series in the 1978 model year as the 733i Sedan. The 733i featured a 3.2-liter inline-6 engine rated at 197 horsepower. The 733i remained on sale in America until it was replaced in 1985 by the BMW 735i Sedan. The 735i, which featured an updated inline-6 engine producing 218 horsepower from 3.4 liters, enjoyed a production run that lasted through the end of the 1992 model year. The 735i was joined by the extended-wheelbase 735iL in May of 1988.

A keystone of BMW’s EfficientDynamics philosophy is “virtual displacement,” the notion that BMW’s modern engines of smaller displacement can equal or exceed the outputs of traditional engines of larger displacement and more cylinders. This principle is already seen in the BMW 750i model, which features a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine performing at the level of BMW’s previous-generation V12 engine. Virtual displacement provides the power of a larger engine with the fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions signature of a smaller engine. The 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li feature BMW’s internationally acclaimed twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine with up-rated output of 315 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 330 lb-ft of torque from 1600-4500 rpm. All-aluminum construction, High Precision direct fuel injection, Double-VANOS variable camshaft technology, and Brake Energy Regeneration are a few of the technologies used under the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy to place the 740i and 740Li among the most powerful six-cylinder luxury sedans in the world. Delivering power to the rear wheels is BMW’s 6-speed automatic transmission, well-known for fast, smooth gearshifts and an ability to intelligently adapt to the driver’s style.

All those outdated billboards in Google Street View aren’t just an eyesore; they’re a waste of a money-making opportunity for the big G, apparently. But not for long.

Google’s filed a patent entitled “Claiming Real Estate in Panoramic or 3D Mapping Environments for Advertising,” and it should allow them to automagically cut out billboards shown in Street View and replace them with their own current ads.

In theory, this would be done in concert with whoever owns the space, so a theater owner could keep the posters out front up to date at all times. This seems to be the only way for Google to get away with doing this, as if they suddenly started sticking ads on other people’s property without their permission, things could get ugly fast.

Marky Mark is a dad — again. Nineties rapper-turned-screen star Mark Wahlberg is celebrating the birth of his fourth child with wife Rhea Durham.

Rhea gave birth a healthy baby girl named Margaret Grace at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles Monday afternoon, a hospital source blabbed to Star Magazine this morning.

“Mark was in the delivery room with Rhea. And he cheered her on all the way.”

Margaret joins older siblings Ella, six, Michael, four, and Brendan, 16 months. Mark and Rhea married in August after eight years of dating.

David Rosenberg is back on housing, and has an interesting non-Case Shiller chart to show you:

Home prices: There remains a glut of at least two years supply on the market
when the ‘shadow’ foreclosed housing inventory data are included in the
calculation and home prices on average have 10-15% downside before fully mean
reverting with respect to residential rents and wage income.  This is the canary in
the coalmine when it comes to wealth, confidence, spending — and writedowns
(the market is expecting write-ups this year) in the banking sector.  The big surprise
will be the renewed turndown in the closely-watched Case-Shiller (CS) index of
home prices, which in the past two months has slowed to an average gain of
+0.25% after 1%+ advances in July-August, which gave beta-hungry investors
more reason to add risk to their portfolios.  But the CS series is a three-month
average and for all we know, the renewed price declines we expect to see may
already be occurring now.  Note that two home price series are already back in
decline for two straight months — LoanPerformance and Radar Logic.  This is key
for any sector that remotely touches the housing industry from the homebuilders,
to the financials, to the consumer discretionary group.
