Sarah Jane Gilbert: Can you explain the concept of "performance persistence" and what it entails?Paul Gompers and Josh Lerner: Essentially, entrepreneurs who start venture-backed companies that are successful are more likely to be successful in their next venture-backed firm.
"There is support for the view that some component of performance persistence stems from 'success breeding success.'"These effects are large and dramatic: All else equal, venture-capital-backed entrepreneurs who succeed in a venture (by our definition, starts a company that goes public) have a 34 percent chance of succeeding in their next venture. By contrast, first-time entrepreneurs have only a 22 percent chance of succeeding, and entrepreneurs who previously failed have a 23 percent chance of succeeding.
Q: How do contributing factors such as skill versus perception affect performance persistence?A: While clearly skill is an important element, there is also support for the view that some component of performance persistence stems from "success breeding success." For instance, entrepreneurs whose first venture succeeded at least in part due to good timing seem to also do well in subsequent ventures. (By good timing we mean those entrepreneurs who founded a company in a given industry at a time when most new ventures did well: for example, microcomputer-related firms begun in 1981 or Internet firms started in 1996.) Of course, starting a company at an opportune time and place also displays a certain kind of skill as well.
Q: What are some of the more actively pursued industries by entrepreneurs?A: Venture capitalists typically invest in industries that have substantial growth opportunities and a defensible intellectual property position. Within the study, the computer and Internet, telecommunications, and life sciences industries are disproportionately represented because they have those characteristics. When we look at the more recent years in our data, industries like cleantech have risen in importance. Because we are focusing on venture-backed firms in this study, the industries are those that are most common for venture capitalists to fund: Internet and software, biotechnology, and telecommunications.
Q: Was there anything in your findings that surprised you?A: The size of the effect more than anything was surprising. We know that there was likely to be some degree of performance persistence, but the magnitude was quite striking.
Q: Given the current economic conditions, do you have any advice for entrepreneurs who are considering launching a new venture at this time?A: Certainly one lesson that emerges from our analysis is to find an experienced (and successful) partner! Given the very difficult investment conditions, venture investors are paring back their portfolios and are hesitant to make new commitments. To get serious consideration, the more that you can do to seem like a "sure thing," the better off you are. More generally, being as careful as you can be with resources, and flexible in terms of the types of arrangements that you are willing to enter into, are particularly important in an environment such as this one.
Q: What are you working on now?A: We are focused on further disentangling the underlying factors that impact the success of venture-capital-backed start-ups. The data that lies at the heart of our performance persistence papers was gathered from multiple sources over a three- or four-year period. It includes information on the company founders, the venture- capital firms, the boards of directors, and the outcomes of these start-ups.
"One lesson that emerges from our analysis is to find an experienced (and successful) partner!"One current project examines the value of boards of directors in start-up firms. We are also examining issues related to the expansion of venture-capital firms. How and when do venture-capital firms open up new offices? How do the strategic choices related to opening up those offices affect the success of investments? Finally, we are also beginning to explore how the experience and background of the individual venture capitalists influences their investment success. We are trying to understand the drivers of success in new ventures and venture firms more generally. On the first front, we are exploring questions such as what makes up an effective board of directors for an entrepreneurial firm. On a second dimension, we are exploring issues such as how venture organizations grow: Does it make sense to open an office in a faraway city, and if so, should one staff it with a "local" or a veteran of the firm's home office.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he will nominate
Jacob Lew to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Lew previously held the position during the Clinton administration. He currently serves as the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources.
In a statement, Obama said Tuesday that Lew will be an extraordinary asset to the administration's efforts to cut the deficit and put the nation on a fiscally responsible path.
If confirmed, Lew would replace current OMB director Peter Orszag, who is stepping down this month.

A Greek fruit exporter and three foremen arrested over a near-deadly shooting attack against migrant labourers were placed in pre-trial detention on Monday, police said.
The four men were arrested in the Peloponnese peninsula last week after the incident in which around 30 strawberry pickers demanding long-overdue pay were wounded, some of them seriously.
The Supreme Court prosecutor on Monday said the victims would be granted special protection to prevent their deportation so they can testify.
The migrants, mainly from Bangladesh, will be granted human trafficking victim status, a judicial source said.
The attack occurred in the village of Manolada in the west of the peninsula, one of the main areas of strawberry production in Greece.
The three foremen, two of whom are brothers, are accused of firing at a crowd of 200 migrants who had gathered to demand back pay which in some cases stretched to six months.
The three defendants said they had acted in self-defence as the crowd had become hostile. They claim that they were firing at the ground and that the bullets deflected onto the victims.
On Monday, one of them spat at reporters outside the courtroom in the town of Amaliada, television images showed.
The 57-year-old farm and company owner was also arrested as a "moral instigator" of the shootings.
The company owner, who denies involvement, has complained of heart trouble and was hospitalised under guard in the neighbouring town of Pyrgos.
He is to be taken to Korydallos prison in Athens with two of the other defendants. The youngest shooter, who is 21, will be taken to a youth prison in Avlona, police said.
One of the shooting suspects was involved in another attack last year against an Egyptian labourer who was dragged from a car and injured in a similar dispute over pay.
Two more men were arrested for harbouring the shooters after the incident on April 17. One was released with a suspended sentence on Monday while the other will be tried in May.
The government condemned the shooting but unions noted that the incident was only the latest in a long history of abuse of migrant workers in Greece.
In 2008, Manolada was the focal point of a rare strike by hundreds of migrant workers against near-slavery conditions in the fields.
Hundreds of seasonal workers, most of them foreign, are employed in local farms for meagre wages, living in shacks and forced to pay rent to their employers.
They work in greenhouses in temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) for a salary of around 22 euros ($29) a day.
The treatment of migrants in Greece has long been criticised by domestic and international rights groups, to little avail.

A common way to run cabling from the back of the car to the front is tucking it under the floor carpet near an edge, where passengers' feet don't frequently stomp. For example you could route it along an edge next to the door, then through the B-pillar or A-pillar, around the windshield and to the rear view mirror.
Ok, so here is what was causing my screen to flicker. I took out my rear lights where I have connected the camera and saw that the reverse light was blown.

A better way to handle this is to pull direct power from a fuse (or direct battery power with inline fuse or fusible link) and run it through a relay.

50 Cent announced via Twitter that his next LP is due July 2nd, an as of yet untitled album that he says is "better than Get Rich Or Die Tryin'."
The above photo was taken at the Nightclub & Bar Convention in Las Vegas this past week, where 50 spoke on his new Street King energy drink. At the convention, he addressed the crowd saying that the new album is two songs away from completion.
Hey Pizzo, I thought u didn't like 50 Cent?
that was at the beef-squashing summit.
I might believe the new album is better than the Get Rich or Die Trying SOUNDTRACK (minus Hustler's Ambition and Window Shopper), but otherwise no.
i hope those two songs that need completion take a loooooong time…in detox years maybe
"Better than Get Rich Or Die Tryin'." Wishful thinking Fif but we'll see I suppose…

Contaminated hands may be the prime factor in the spread of staphylococcal infection within the hospital, according to Robert I. Wise, MD, Magee Professor of Medicine and head of the Department of Medicine, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia.
Knowledge of how infection is transmitted in the operating room is not yet clearly understood, Wise told a symposium on hospital-acquired infection at the fall meeting of the American College of Physicians in Los Angeles. "It appears logical that the entry of staphylococcus into the wound occurs before the wound is closed, and therefore begins in the operating room."
Among possible sources are the patient, surgeons, and nurses. "We know that staphylococci are carried into the operating room," Wise said. A study of the incidence of coagulase positive staphylococcus in the noses of 206 persons entering the operating room at Jefferson Hospital during a oneweek period revealed that 30% of the patients and

Good package which addresses most issues well.
Thankfully it wasn't too prescriptive about things such as lanyards being fitted to all handtools and equipment.
Allows user disgression to close off area below instead.
Much simpler and more easily understood by the workers than the template & SWM which came from the EWP hirer!!!
Saved time and got the boys back to work as soon as possible when they were pulled up for not working in accordance with the EWP hirer's SWMS.
Thanks for making life easier!

Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper in J Brand Rivet Chinos in Oxford Blue
Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone cozied up on the red carpet while promoting their new film, Aloha. For the event, Bradley wore a pair of J Brand Rivet Chinos in Oxford Blue with a tan jacket and shoes.
I love the color combination of the darker blue chinos and the lighter brown shade of the jacket. I love the jackets color and think it would also go really nicely with a pair of jeans in a similar shade to these chinos. You can buy J Brand for men at EastDane.com.

Bradley Cooper shows his support for the Philadelphia Eagles while pointing to his hat as he made his way through the airport. He was in town to promote his film, American Hustle, at the Palm Springs film festival.
Bradley wore a pair of black Diesel jeans with a Levi's Barstow Western Shirt and boots. We've seen Bradley wear Diesel a few different times while promoting various films, so it is nice to see that he is a fan of the brand off duty too. Buy Diesel jeans online at SSENSE.
Bradley Cooper in Diesel Safado in 8QU
These photos of Bradley Cooper are a bit older, they're from May, when he was busy promoting his film, The Hangover III. He wore his Diesel Safado jeans in 8QU with a plaid shirt and jacket.
Bradley wore these jeans almost the entire time he was promoting his film in Europe. I can see why he is such a big fan though, they have a great dark grey color wash and I think the fit is really flattering on him. You can buy these jeans online from Diesel for $198.00 and you can join the discussion of Diesel Jeans in the Forum here.

Bradley Cooper in J Brand Trooper in Vintage Caffeine
Heading to the set of his latest film, Bradley Cooper was snapped in Boston, MA while wearing a pair of J Brand Trooper Cargos in Vintage Caffeine.
Bradley has been seen in J Brand quite a few different times. He tends to favor the Kane fit for events and premiers and the Trooper Cargos for more casual wear. I am not a fan of this outfit at all, I much prefer how he styled these cargos here. You can buy these Cargos online from JBrandjeans.com.

How might ROHHAD be treated?
There is currently no cure for ROHHAD. Treatment varies based on the signs and symptoms present in each person and the severity of the condition. Because ROHHAD can affect many different parts of the body, children with the condition are often cared for by a team of healthcare providers who specialize in a variety of different medical fields. For example, children may be referred to nutrition services to help prevent additional weight gain. Hypothalamic dysfunction is often managed by an endocrinologist who may recommend hormone replacement therapy (such as growth hormone), a strict fluid intake regimen, and/or other measures based on the child's symptoms. Children with alveolar hypoventilation will be referred to a pulmonologist (a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of lung conditions) and/or a respiratory therapist who can determine if and when ventilators are needed. Due to an increased risk for certain types of tumors including ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas, affected children may also be screened periodically for these tumors. Other healthcare providers who may help with the care of a child affected by ROHHAD include cardiologists, gastroenterologists (a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal conditions), neurologists, nurses, social workers, speech and language therapists, and special education teachers.[1]

I don't have a Plugin Panel in my Dashboard. How do I add it so I can upload and use plugins? I'm using the 2010 theme for my blog. Thank you!
If you are hosted at wordpress.com, you can't.
How can I fix this? I just registered a domain but that didn't seem to do it. Thanks!
Did you get a chance to read any of the page that I linked to above? That should answer a lot of your questions. Particularly this section:
WordPress.com Cons
* We provide 100+ themes (and adding more every day) which you can modify and edit the CSS, but you cannot run a custom theme*
* You can't hack the PHP code behind your blog*
* You can't upload plugins
* The VIP program on WordPress.com for high-traffic and high-profile sites allows you to run custom themes, custom PHP code, ad code, and WordPress plugins.
This may be of help as well.
New To WordPress - Where to Start
- just to clarify things, primarily because you did not respond to my suggestion that you might be hosted on wordpress.com, is your blog a free wordpress blog hosted by wordpress.com, or did you install wordpress on your own host? (Godaddy, Bluehost, etc...)
If you're having this problem on a self hosted wordpress site, it could be that the Plugins option is turned off. On a network install, go to the Network Admin pages, choose Settings, and under Network settings you'll see (at the bottom):
Menu Settings
Enable administration menus Plugins
This is unchecked by default (I believe). Check it and your site administrators will be able to choose which plugins to activate (from the list that you, as a network administrator, have installed.)

Conference Championship Meet. We have a strong women's team that consistently attracts swimmers and divers
at the national level as well as athletes willing to improve to that level.
During our recent seasons we have won two state titles and consistently finished in the top three at our conference meet, including many All American and All Academic student- athletes. In the past two years, our team has broken 19 school records, and we continue to compete at a top level against the other
teams in the state. Coach McCormick
recruits athletes who not only demonstrate a high level of teamwork,
focus, and discipline in the pool and in the classroom, but who also
like to have fun with their team and enjoy competition.
In her recent career here, McCormick has produced over 30 conference and state champions, over 50 All Americans, and over 25 All-Academic student athletes. McCormick swam locally in Santa Rosa for the Santa Rosa Neptunes, Montgomery High School, and for Santa Rosa Junior College where she was a two-time All-American in the backstroke and relay events.

Load adjustment is a new concept in smart grid system that can be used to balance the frequency of the system by adjusting their power consumption. However, the system required to have effective data communication management. The introduction of Smart Home System (which consists of Smart Appliance (SA) and Smart Meter (SM)), Smart Regional Server (SRS) and Smart Server (SS) as well as the messaging sequence between these entities will be used to manage data communication in smart distribution system. The communications between these devices will be via Power Line Communication (PLC) and WiMAX as a medium to transfer the data to the SRS. Transport Control Protocol (TCP) will increase the reliability of transferring data. By using the propose communication and data management technique, the use of load-balancing control to recover the frequency in a smart distribution grid system will be achieved.

Annan 'Appalled' by Reported Syrian Massacre in Tremseh
United Nations special envoy Kofi Annan said he was "shocked and appalled" by the Syrian government's use of heavy weapons in fighting around the town of Tremseh in what the opposition called a massacre of more than 300 people.
"I condemn these atrocities in the strongest possible terms," Annan said in an e-mailed statement from Geneva today. The assault with tanks, artillery and helicopters violated a commitment by President Bashar al-Assad "to cease the use of heavy weapons in population centers."
As many as 305 people were killed yesterday in Tremseh, in the central province of Hama, George Sabra, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council, told reporters today in Istanbul. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll in an e-mailed statement earlier at about 160 people, 30 of whom were burned to death.
Several demonstrations erupted today across Syria, including in the capital of Damascus and its suburbs, to protest the killings, the Local Coordination Committees in Syria, an opposition activist group, said in an e-mail.
"Whole families were wiped out," the head of the SNC, Abdulbaset Sieda, said at a news conference in Istanbul that was televised by broadcasters including Al Arabiya.
He called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting on the killings and urged Syrians to step up anti-government protests.
'Raise the Stakes'
"More than 200 men, women and children appear to have been killed in this latest atrocity," U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague said today in an e-mailed statement. "Everything we have seen of the Syrian regime's behavior over the last 17 months suggests that these reports are credible."
The U.S. will seek to "raise the stakes even further" for Syria at the UN, Josh Earnest, a spokesman for President Barack Obama said, without giving specifics.
"If there was any doubt before yesterday about the need for a coordinated international response at the United Nations, that doubt has been eliminated," Earnest told reporters traveling with the president to a campaign event in Virginia.
UN observers are ready to go to Tremseh and "seek verification of the facts, if and when circumstances permit," Annan said.
Major-General Robert Mood, commander of the UN observer mission in Syria, said his team verified fighting in Tremseh that involved mechanized units and helicopters, according to an e-mailed transcript of a news conference he gave in Damascus.
UN Deadline
The reported killings came a week before the deadline for the Security Council to decide whether to extend an observer mission's 90-day mandate in light of the continuing violence. The monitors' operations have been largely suspended because of the danger posed to them.
"For the sake of the Syrian people we now need genuine and effective leadership from the Security Council," Mood said. "Government and opposition must be willing to make concessions and sit down at the negotiating table."
The assault on Tremseh began at dawn when Syrian troops surrounded the town of 10,000 mainly Sunni Muslim residents with 150 tanks and armored vehicles and started shelling, SNC member Abdulrahman Alhaj said today by phone from Istanbul. Then soldiers, backed by the pro-government Shabiha militia, stormed the town for five hours, he said.
"Some residents were chased and slaughtered with knives as they fled to the fields," he said. "Others were burned in their homes, which the troops set on fire because they couldn't break into them."
'Terrorist' Groups
The violence since the March 2011 start of the uprising against Assad has claimed more than 17,000 lives, according to Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition group. He said the casualties include 4,348 members of the government's security forces. At least 30 people were killed in Syria today, the Local Coordination Committees in Syria said in an e-mail.
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency said the deaths in Tremseh occurred when security forces clashed with "terrorist" groups after local residents called for help.
The clashes led to "severe losses" among the rebels and three government security personnel were killed, SANA said.
Colonel Riad al-Asaad, head of the opposition Free Syrian Army, called for a nationwide strike.
"I urge people to close down all roads and call upon all government employees to stay at their homes and not go to work in official directorates and to hold a general strike so we can paralyze the entire country, because this regime does not understand anything apart from the language of force," he told Al Jazeera television.
Military Airport
The Syrian National Council reported on its Facebook page today that rebels fired 25 rocket-propelled grenades at the military airport in Mazzeh, blowing up three planes, a fuel depot and a storage area for ammunition in retaliation for the "massacre."
A bomb planted in a car exploded on the crowded Mazzeh Street in the Syrian capital today, state-run Syrian TV said. It said there was material damage but no casualties.
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a group of 57 states, condemned the "heinous massacre" in Tremseh in an e-mailed statement today and urged the UN Security Council to take action to stop the bloodshed.
Alhaj said the full scale of the "massacre" became apparent after residents returned to the town late yesterday.
"Activists and members of the Free Syrian Army are still looking for bodies," he said.

We report initial attempts at developing a self-assembled combinatorial DNA biosensor array which may be capable of binding and identifying virtually any soluble analyte that binds the array by pattern recognition, in effect making it a universal biosensor surface. Data are presented for differential binding patterns of various analytes to 1-D arrays of combinatorial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) concatamer libraries which are spatially separated according to size and charge by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. These DNA concatamer libraries are essentially composed of single-stranded (ss) random DNA 60 mers, which form a ldquosmearrdquo pattern in gels following electrophoresis. When used to bind and detect various analytes or mixtures of analytes in the gel, we refer to the DNA smear as a ldquocombinatorial array recognition surfacerdquo (CARS). Differences in intrinsic fluorescence scanning patterns of CARS gel strips were compared before and after addition of various analytes to the arrays to detect binding patterns. Scans revealed a high level of reproducibility for individual CARS arrays in a given gel with or without bound analytes. Scan patterns between different CARS gel strips were initially less reproducible, but purification of the DNA library using spin columns prior to electrophoresis improved gel-to-gel reproducibility.

An anonymous tipster sent us such a goofy and curt chronicle of yesterday's scheduled event, we thought it was too good not to share…
President of Haiti Michel Martelly did not arrive to speak at his scheduled WLF event. Around 3 pm, half hour after event [was] scheduled to start, introductions and comments by Jeff Sachs and Earth Institute director for Haiti cut off by Bollinger saying President would not arrive, [and that] they had hoped foreign minister would arrive, but didn't. Many people leave.
Jeff Sachs continues fielding questions about Haitian recovery and development.
Around fifteen minutes later, foreign minister arrives and gives speech while Jeff Sachs and ambassador to Haiti/Fugees member Wyclef Jean, stand behind him. Speech focuses on bringing investment to Haiti. Wyclef Jean then summarizes minister's speech and talks about how he used to sneak into Columbia dorms as a teenager. Jean and Sachs hug awkwardly after Jean calls him "the original rock star." Foreign Minister then talks about the last time he was at Columbia, 1971, when he came down from Boston and partied.
Foreign minister then fields a few questions about Haitian agriculture and court system, as well as investigation of former president Duvalier before Sachs says that he needs to wrap up the event.

Edwidge Danticat was born in Haiti and graduated from Barnard in 1990. The success of her early semi-autobiographical novels and short stories has made her one of the most prominent writers to come out of Morningside Heights and an important figure in the Caribbean Diaspora. Although Danticat has been busy on tour for her new collection of essays, Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work, she found a moment to speak with the Blue & White's Managing Editor Emerita Mariela Quintana about her work, her community, and her home.
FYI: Danticat will be speaking at the Brooklyn Public Library this Thursday night at 7pm! It's free!
Blue & White: What is the art scene like in Haiti now? How has it changed since the January Earthquake?
Edwidge Danticat: After the earthquake there was a momentary pause because a lot people lost their family members and they had to worry about the business of survival. But soon some of the writers were blogging about the earthquake and about what happened to them. And immediately artists were writing and painting.
The week of the earthquake itself, on the cover of The New Yorker was a painting by Frantz Zephirin, a painter from Haiti. What he shared with other artists is that they all immediately started to use what they [could] to get out a broader sense of the catastrophe. For the writers, it was words. One of the things that was a lot more visible this time around was that the people who lived in Haiti were able to tell their stories to the rest of the world with the new social media, including the artists.
The people who have always written have continued writing, but many people who have never written before have started writing some for personal relief; some for their children, you know, as a response therapy. So, yes, art is alive and well in Haiti. (more…)

Last night curious students packed into Lerner Cinema to see Princeton professor and celebrity Cornel West talk on "how we can engage in activism that is characterized by faith, perseverance, courage and hope" in Haiti. Bwog's Semi-Secretly Christian Organizations correspondent Derek Huang reports that students got more consideration of spirituality than of Port-au-Prince.
In a time when American mainstream media portrays human tragedy fleetingly, the Veritas Forum and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship invited Dr. Cornel West, professor of African American Studies and Religion at Princeton University, to discuss how to positively engage in humanitarian activism. Even though the lecture was originally titled "After the Headlines: Remaining Engaged in Haiti," West primarily spoke about the reason for engaging in humanitarian aid and offered his thoughts from a Christian perspective. The program began with a presentation from Gabrielle Apollon (CC '09, SIPA '10). After showing the audience a video documenting her experiences in Haiti during the earthquake, Apollon introduced the issue of faith to the discussion, talked briefly about how she viewed her experience through the lens of Christianity, and invited West to the stage.

Bwog's Francophone Correspondent Jon Edelman reports from last night's Read-In/Speak-Out on Haiti at the Maison Française:
As Associate Professor of French Madeleine Dobie stepped to the microphone to begin Friday evening's "Read-In/Speak-Out on Haiti," the room was primed for a selection of Haitian poetry or prose, or perhaps a discussion of Haitian history or culture. However, Dobie began with something a bit more familiar: The New York Times. Specifically, she discussed a January 14th op-ed piece by David Brooks in which the columnist indicted Haiti's culture, among other factors, for the extent of the devastation. "We're all supposed to politely respect each other's cultures," Brooks wrote. "But some cultures are more progress-resistant than others, and a horrible tragedy was just exacerbated by one of them." In discussing her disappointment that Brooks had stood "in judgment, not solidarity" with Haiti, Dobie gave the readings that followed a sense of deeper importance: the recitations were refutations, for they evidenced of Haiti's cultural richness and depth.

Canonical Adds Web Apps to Ubuntu
New Ubuntu Web Apps feature will allow popular online applications to be launched from the desktop outside the browser.
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth announced at OSCON last week that a new feature is being added to the Ubuntu desktop. This feature, called Ubuntu Web Apps, allow users the ability to use popular online applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, as desktop applications. According to Canonical blogger Steve George, "the apps can even take advantage of Ubuntu's new HUD system, making it even easier to navigate."
Ubuntu Web Apps will be included officially in the next release of Ubuntu 12.10, Quantal Quetzal, in October. However, according to Canonical, the feature will soon be available as a preview for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. About 40 Web Apps are currently complete, with more to come.
The Ubuntu Web Apps feature is a plugin for the Firefox browser that lets web pages be launched outside the browser window. Ubuntu Web Apps runs only on the Unity desktop and its source code will be available as open source on the Canonical Launchpad project management service. You can read more about the feature on this Canonical blog post.

Sometimes when I call gethostbyaddr() it returns the correct Host-name, however sometimes it returns the IP Address, which I know it's designed to do when the call fails to resolve the Host-name.
It is absolutely crucial that I get the Host-names as all the IP address's are Dynamic (2 day lease) so I need the Host-name so that I can have a valid Primary Key when I save the Host-name and IP pair to a database. I literally have 2 printers and 2 computers side by side and one of each PHP can resolve into a host-name and the other printer and computer returns the IP Address.
How do I get PHP to resolve the Host-name for all devices?
Also, does anyone know how it resolves the Host-name? DNS? WINS?
I can run any tests on these two printers to check their IPv4 configuration if necessary.

my site: dailyandroidreviews.com crashed at some point last night, after troubleshooting I had to remove WP from the site (hosted by GoDaddy) and reinstall. I uploaded my backup, plugins, and other media files and now the front end of my site is back up and looks as it should.
When accessing /wp-admin/index.php all that shows is the WP Dashboard, Jetpack, and Profile. No other options/settings show. I've looked through the forums, and googled the issue and I haven't found anything pertaining to only a few things showing on the sidebar.
Thanks in advance for any help.
