New Enterprise Associates (NEA) this morning announced (PDF) the official close of its thirteenth fund, which it began investing in May 2009. At nearly $2.5 billion, it is comparable in size to NEA’s prior fund, which closed in 2006 and was just over $2.5 billion.

According to NEA, its fund XIII represents an estimated 17 percent of all U.S. venture capital funds raised in 2009 and is the largest single fund raised since 2007. The new capital commitments brings the venture capital firm’s total to more than $11 billion across all of its funds.

NEA, which has subsidiaries in both China and India, primarily invests in healthcare, energy, consumer and enterprise technology companies. The firm ranked number 4 on our list of most active VCs, which we published in October 2009 on our sister site TechCrunch Trends.

Some of its portfolio companies that will likely be most familiar to TechCrunch readers are Loopt, 23andMe, Vuze, Engine Yard and Millennial Media.

Its most recent investments were GroupOn (our coverage) and Playdom (our coverage), and it’s worth noting that NEA was the sole backer of Teracent, which was recently acquired by Google for an undisclosed sum after raising just south of $6 million.

Toshiba grew its market share in the U.S. laptop market in 2009. The Japanese computer maker plans to hold onto those gains with a new family of laptops being launched at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas.

The laptops come in several types. The ultrathin Toshiba Satellite T100 series has a T115 model with an 11.6-inch screen and a T135 model (pictured) with a 13.3-inch screen. They use Intel’s CLV processors and get nine hours of battery life. They come with a sensor that shuts down the hard drive if the machine is dropped. They also have HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) ports, and you can charge universal serial bus (USB) devices with it even if the machine is in sleep mode. The T115 costs $449 and the T135 costs $499. Both machines are under four pounds. Toshiba plans to use AMD Neo processors in its ultrathin line starting in the first quarter.

Toshiba’s L series laptops are more expensive, premium machines, with screens that are 15.6 inches or 17 inches. The M series and the P series will have more of an entertainment focus. Toshiba launched its newest Qosmio gamer laptop in the fall. That machine has an 18.4-inch display and costs $1,449. It will be refreshed in the first quarter with a new Nvidia graphics chip.

The laptops have a lot of the standard new Intel chips that any manufacturer can use. But they also have some software features that set them apart.

One of them is the Toshiba Media Controller, which lets you do easy home networking. It lets you move your media from one computer on a network to another, tapping into new features of Windows 7 Premium edition. With it, you can play content from one machine on another. Another new software feature is Bulletin, a kind of virtual bulletin board you can use to do projects or organize daily tasks. It’s like a place to hang virtual sticky notes. It will be on touch-enabled Windows 7 machines in the first quarter.

Another feature is Toshiba ReelTime. This lets you see a timeline of your backups related to a single file. You can go back in time and filter out photos, documents or videos.

Toshiba also announced yesterday its Toshiba Mini NB 305 netbook (pictured), a second-generation machine that is smaller than a laptop and is meant for surfing the web. Toshiba was slow to join the netbook parade started by Asus. Toshiba’s first netbook shipped in the third quarter, and the business is still less than 10 percent of the company’s revenues. The new netbook has a 10.1-inch screen and a full-sized keyboard. The best thing about it is the 11 hour battery life, up from nine hours for the earlier model, based on the MobileMark 07 benchmark.

The Mini NB 305 costs $399 and comes in blue, brown, or white. It has an Intel Atom n450, a gigabyte of main memory, a 250 gigabyte hard drive, and the starter version of Windows 7. A $349 version has a high gloss black finish and a 160 gigabyte hard drive.

Marseille Networks is coming out of stealth today and plans to launch new video chips for TVs. That, by itself, is nothing remarkable. But the company says it has designed those chips using a new kind of virtual prototyping tool that can cut the costs of chip development dramatically.

Designing custom chips can cost $15 million to $20 million, which is one reason that we don’t see that many new chip startups like Marseille. But Amine Chabane, chief executive, said in an interview that the company’s design tools can shave months off of the 18 months to two years that it takes to design chips — and save millions of dollars in the process.

For now, the company is keeping the technology to itself and using it to design it own video chips. Chabane says the company is launching three new video chips this year to show that its technology works. It has a test chip in a customer’s hands now.

The road will be tough. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company has raised $5 million and has 20 employees. But companies such as Marvell, Broadcom, and Intel are investing heavily in video chips for TVs and other video-related products. Silicon Optix was a competitor, but its assets have been acquired by IDT and others.

On the design tool side, vendors such as Synopsys and Cadence have been making tools for years that are aimed at making the design process easier and less expensive. Chabane said that Marseille’s tools let chip designers see what the consequences of their designs are through simulation. They can try out different options to see how the chips work before they pull the trigger and send the design off to a chip factory.

“They can get the look and feel of the chip,” Chabane said. “You don’t have to gamble $15 – 20 million building the wrong product. Once the customers love the design, we go to mass production. That helps us mitigate risk.”

There are a lot of ifs here, to be sure. It sounds very similar to what hardware and tool companies already say they do with products such as field programmable gate arrays. Those FPGAs, however, are big, fat, “kitchen sink” chips. Designers can customize them to do exactly what they want, but the chips stay big and fat and expensive to fabricate. Chabane says that his tools let someone design a slimmer chip in a cost-efficient and completely custom way.

Chabane has been around a while. Before he co-founded Marseille in 2005, he held management positions at Conexant Systems and C-Cube Microsystems. If the technology works, then Marseille can expand its business and will have the option of licensing its design tools to others. The company isn’t yet naming its customers.

Lady Gaga’s hit “Monster Ball Tour” is reportedly facing a serious deficit, despite being completely sold out.

The “Bad Romance” charttopper – who describes her stage show as “ostentatious and over-the-top” – takes a financial hit every night she performs on the North American leg of her tour, which has so far overspent by more than $2 million even though fans quickly snatched up tickets to every concert.

According to new reports, Gaga’s massive tour costs have been run up by the singer’s elaborate taste in stage design, costumes, and props — including a $50,000 bathtub she used while making a promotional appearance on the UK TV talent show The X Factor last November.

“The concerts are losing money hand over fist because they’ve spent a fortune on pricey costumes, technical equipment and elaborate set designs. She spent $500,000 on one stage alone,” a set tattle blabbed to Britain’s The Sun this week. “But Lady Gaga gets what Lady Gaga wants. Her wardrobe is huge and she wants to shock – and that costs serious money.”

According to her spokesman, the 23-year-old singer/songwriter just “doesn’t care” about finances. While she has already overspent massively, Lady Gaga’s bills are expected to soar again when she picks out a completely different set for the European part of her tour.

“I can’t comment on figures but it wouldn’t be a surprise. Gaga puts everything into her live shows. I wouldn’t want to be her accountant,” he told the tabloid.

Following Ben Bernanke’s big speech in Atlanta (not to mention the perpetually rising stock market) there’s been a lot more talk about bubbles, how we can prevent them in the future, and whether we’re in a new one already now.

On this question, David Goldman has been making a salient point that deserves more attention: What we’re experiencing is really an asset dearth.

Gretchen Morgenson’s recent hit-job on Goldman Sachs (GS) and its synthetic CDOs kind of hinted at this, though she got the equation wrong.

As she interpreted it, Goldman Sachs manufactured these real-estate backed synthetic CDOs, marketed them to pension funds, and then because of that, when it all came tumbling down, the effect of the collapse was magnified.

In reality, there was incredible demand for higher-yielding assets, because with all the retiring boomers, there was a shortage of decent yielding non-synthetic assets.

And we’re still in that exact same boat. As David Goldman notes, corporate issuance of all kinds of assets: IPOs, corporate debt, convertible debt, etc. has fallen off a cliff.

Specifically, here’s total issuance for the past several years:

2000: $1.2 trillion
2001: $1.57 trillion
2002: $1.48 trillion
2003: $1.9 trillion
2004: $2.2 trillion
2005: $2.62 trillion
2006: $2.98 trillion
2007: $2.73 trillion
2008: $1.1 trillion
2009: $1.34 trillion

So the number has fallen off a cliff, but the huge sums being socked away in 401(k)s, pension funds, (not to mention traditional savings), etc. has to go SOMEWHERE.

So every time there’s a little bit of yield out there, all the money has to chase it immediately. There’s no choice. It’s not a matter of being greedy. It’s mandatory. And so the boom and bust cycle must go on.

Don’t expect an official confirmation from BMW for another week, but some of the automaker’s anticipated updates to its 2011 E92/E93 (3 Series Coupe/3 Series Convertible) have already leaked into cyberspace. The team over at Bimmerfile is reporting that the exterior of both models will receive revised “sporty” front fascias, complete with LED lights and minor tweaks to the interior. Turbocharged 335i models optioned with either the M Sport Package or the standard Sport Package will be fitted with 19-inch alloys (a bump up from the current 18-inch offerings). Anthracite Bamboo trim will reportedly be a new interior option that will be joined by a new exterior color, and paddle shifters will be standard fare for vehicles without manual transmissions.

Keeping enthusiasts smiling, BMW will reportedly offer an “is” version of the refreshed two-door models. Exclusive to the U.S. market, the special variants are expected to be configured with either DCT or a Sport Automatic transmission. In addition, unique styling and special aerodynamic bits will differentiate them from the standard models. As expected, the interiors will be fitted with M Sport equipment as well. Best of all, the twin-turbocharged N54 under the hood will likely receive its own set of horsepower-boosting enhancements, much like those found on the recently announced Z4 sDrive35is.

Heredity for aneurysm much stronger among identical than fraternal twins

A new study in the January issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery(®), published by the Society for Vascular Surgery®, reveals robust epidemiological evidence that hereditary factors contribute to aneurysm formation in twins.

Researchers in Sweden reviewed the data of 172,890 twins born in that country since 1886 and found 265 twins who had developed abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). These individuals ranged from 48 to 94 years of age; 81 percent were male.

Carl Magnus Wahlgren, MD, PhD, from the department of vascular surgery at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, said that this was the largest AAA population-based twin study to date.

“There were seven sets of identical (monozygotic) as well as five sets of fraternal (dizygotic) concordant pairs,” said Dr. Wahlgren. “Concordance rates represent the probability of developing AAA for an individual with an affected twin.

The identical pairs had a 24 percent probability that an identical twin of a person with AAA would get the disease. Their risk was 71 times higher than that of the identical twin of a person without AAA. The probability rate for the concordant fraternal twins was 4.8 percent.

In contrast, there were 44 identical and 197 fraternal discordant pairs in the AAA group.”

Researchers also reviewed the data for twins with AAA ages 55 years and older, then possibly excluding genetic connective tissue disorders such as Ehler-Danlos and Marfan syndrome, the odds ratio still was significantly higher for identical as opposed to fraternal twins.

Heritability of 70 percent of the total trait variance was estimated and the remaining variance was explained by non-shared environmental factors with no support for a role of shared environmental influences.

“Our twin model provides a powerful means of examining the total genetic contribution to a given disease especially a complex trait such as AAA, and phenotypes (genetic makeup and environmental influences) can be defined to maximize chances of successful gene mapping,” said Dr. Wahlgren.

“Unlike family or sibling studies, potential confounders such as the variability of disease prevalence with age are removed. This model relies on important assumptions including random mating, no interaction between genes and environment and equivalent environments for identical and fraternal twins.”

The study had only one female concordant twin pair with AAA; researchers said they could not draw any conclusions about a possible stronger heritability in men or women.

They noted that in other regions the proportions of type of effects could differ because of environmental factors; also in the cases of aneurysmal disease with several genetic and environmental factors, the liability model assumes that the disease will occur when there are enough contributory factors to push the individual’s liability above the threshold.

According to the authors, this study emphasizes the importance of evaluating family history in patients with AAA and supports ultrasound scan screening of unaffected siblings. “The data can improve the information given to first-degree relatives of patients with AAA regarding the risk,” said Dr. Wahlgren.

“However, many questions in the genetics of familial AAA remain unanswered. The understanding about how risk factors and genotype contribute to AAA development is important for patient selection, screening and more aggressive treatment.”

Polaroid has inked an endorsement deal with singer Lady Gaga, the pioneering photo firm announced on Wednesday. The Grammy-nominated hitmaker has been named Creative Director for a soon to be released speciality line of Polaroid products. Gaga will officially unveil the partnership with an appearance at the 2010 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas on Thursday.

In October, the photography firm announced plans to bring back their classic cameras after discontinuing production in 2008. Now the Paparazzi hitmaker is coming aboard to create a new line of items for the brand.

“I am so proud to announce my new partnership with Polaroid as the creative director and inventor of speciality projects,” Gaga said in a statement Wednesday. “The Haus of Gaga has been developing prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation – blending the iconic history of Polaroid and instant film with the digital era – and we are excited to collaborate on these ventures with the Polaroid brand,” she continued.

“Lifestyle, music, art, fashion: I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer, and to – as my father puts it – finally have a real job.”

Mr. Jyoti was hospitalized due to pneumonia symptoms last Friday. Although, he was put on ventilator due to acute breathing problems but he was improving and his condition was stable till yesterday.

Jyoti Basu got honor to be the longest Chief Minister of India. He has been the Chief Minister of West Bengal of India since 1977 to 2000. He was a front leader of CPI (M) and was a member of CPI (M) politburo since it was found in 1964.

It is reported that several party leaders are gathering at AMRI hospital. We are not sure whether he is really died because it is not announced officially but media reports are claiming that he is no more between us. He was the leader of Left Movement in India.

In 1946, he was first elected for the Bengal Legislative Assembly and later became the Deputy Chief Minister of West Bengal in the government of United Front. In 1996, the United Front chose him unanimously for the post of Prime Minister but CPI (M) politburo decided not to take part in the federal government, later Mr. Jyoti referred it as a historic blunder.
He developed breathing trouble at early morning hours and was shifted to the ventilator in the afternoon hours. He was admitted to the Salt Lake AMRI Hospital in Kolkata for the aforesaid pneumonic infection.

The death news of the iconic figure will be shocking to many of his followers as he was the pioneer of Leftist movement in India. TheWest Bengal Govt. is preparing for the mourning.

Jyoti Basu was the member of CPI (M) Politburo from the founding time of 1964 till 2008 and served as the longest Chief Minister of India from 1977 to 2000.

Jennifer Lopez talks motherhood, heartbreak, and “shitty” romantic comedies with the February issue of Elle Magazine.

The singer/actress — who insists she was robbed of an Academy Award for her role in the biopic El Cantante –has been nominated seven times at the Razzies, which recognize the year’s worst in film. In fact, Jen took home two prizes for her 2004 bomb Gigli. But J. Lo says her romantic comedies must be good — or else no one would go to see them.

“I think Maid in Manhattan and Monster-in-Law are very layered movies. And that’s why they’re so successful. People don’t like shitty romantic comedies. Nothing that’s shitty is going to make $100 million.”

HTC Magic and Dream owners in Canada take note as Rogers has reconsidered its “No Donut or Eclair policy” for at least one of its two Android handsets. Rogers has confirmed that, in the next few weeks, it will issue a minor update for the Android 1.5 OS on both the Dream and the Magic, bringing the HTC Sense UI to the Magic while keeping the platform steady at Android 1.5. By mid-2010, the HTC Magic will be updated to Android 2.1 complete with HTC’s updated Sense UI. While Magic owners are jumping for joy, Dream owners may want to get out a handkerchief to dry their eyes as Rogers confirmed that the HTC Dream will not be  updated past Android 1.5 due to “certain limitations on the HTC Dream.” Any Rogers Dream owners out there can vent voice their opinion in the comments below.
