Amoruso is being replaced by current Nasty Gal executive Sherree Waterson in the CEO position. Amoruso, in a blog post, said she had been thinking about the change for two years, because she was not sure if the "CEO role is one that I want". Amoruso said the change will "give me the freedom to feel that I'm using my talents at my best and highest." http://www.socaltech.com/nasty_gal_s_amoruso_steps_down_from_ceo_post/s-0058497.html TrueCar Taps Owen Wilson As Voice of TrueCar ---- Santa Monica-based online car buying service TrueCar said this morning that it has inked a deal with actor, producer and writer Owen Wilson to serve as the "voice of TrueCar" in a set of TV, radio, and Internet ads. Financial details of the deal were not announced. TrueCar said Wilson is featured in a series of spots set to roll out in the middle of the month. Wilson is currently starring in Night at the Museum 3. TrueCar said its new series of ads was created by creative agency Tiny Rebellion, and will show that "the future of buying a car can be as joyful as driving one." Allegro Opthalmics Raises $20M From Hanmi Pharmaceutical ---- San Juan Capistrano-based Allegro Opthalmics, a developer of treatments for eye diseases such as wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), reported this morning that it has raised $20M in a strategic investment from Hanmi Pharmaceutical.

(More...) http://www.socaltech.com/id_analytics_gets_patent/s-0058496.html j2 Global's General Counsel, Jeff Adelman, Passes Away ---- Los Angeles-based j2 Global said this morning that Jeff Adelman, its Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, has passed away. Adelman, who was 48, died after a brief illness. Adelman had been at j2 Global for more than 14 years. Prior to j2 Global, he had been in private practice at Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, PLC. j2 said that Adelman helped evolve the company's corporate structure, assisted in the company's M&A program, and started its intellectual property division. j2 Global operates a wide range of cloud-based business services, plus also owns Ziff Davis publishing. Activision, Tencent Tie On Call of Duty Launch In China ---- Santa Monica-based Activision and Chinese game maker Tencent said Monday that the two are launching the popular Activision title Call of Duty into China, releasing the game as a free-to-play -- and also adapting the game to Chinese customs. Activision said it is looking to expand its series into the world's largest gaming market by specifically tailoring the experience for the Chinese market. In addition to new free-to-play model, the new game also apparently tones down violence and removes the use of zombies, due to Chinese sensitivities. The launch should prove very interesting for Activision, whose Call of Duty title spawned a clone by the Chinese People's Liberation Army called "Glorious Mission" several years ago. SpaceX Dragon Docks Successfully At ISS ---- Hawthorne-based SpaceX has successfully docked its Dragon spacecraft with the International Space Station again Monday morning, attaching to the ISS Harmony module at 8:54 a.m. EST.

This is SpaceX's fifth mission--out of twelve scheduled by NASA--to provide resupply to the International Space Station. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKETPLACE Reach 10000+ readers for 5 days for $250 Post your marketplace ad at: http://www.socaltech.com/postad.html ------------------------------ADVERTISEMENT------------------------------- USC Marshall's MS in Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Apply Now!
