ST Ericsson Shows off First FD-SOI Product

SOI has been around for some time now, but in partially depleted form (PD-SOI). Quite a few manufacturers have utilized PD-SOI for their products, such as AMD and IBM (probably the two largest producers of SOI based parts). Oddly enough, Intel has shunned SOI wafers altogether. One would expect Intel to spare no expense to have the fastest semiconductor based chips on the market, but SOI did not provide enough advantages for the chip behemoth to outweigh the nearly 10% increase in wafer and production costs. There were certainly quite a few interesting properties to PD-SOI, but Intel was able to find ways around bulk silicon's limitations. These non-SOI improvements include stress and strain, low-K dialectrics, high-K metal gates, and now 3D FinFET Technology. Intel simply did not need SOI to achieve the performance they were looking for while still using bulk silicon wafers.
Things started looking a bit grim for SOI as a technology a few years back. AMD was starting to back out of utilizing SOI for sub-32 nm products, and IBM was slowly shifting away from producing chips based on their Power technology. PD-SOI's days seemed numbered. And they are. That is ok though, as the technology will see a massive uptake with the introduction of Fully Depleted SOI wafers. I will not go into the technology in full right now, but expect another article further into the future. I mentioned in a tweet some days ago that in manufacturing, materials are still king. This looks to hold true with FD-SOI.
Intel had to utilize 3D FinFETs on 22 nm because they simply could not get the performance out of bulk silicon and planar structures. There are advantages and disadvantages to these structures. The advantage is that better power characteristics can be attained without using exotic materials all the while keeping bins high, but the disadvantage is the increased complexity of wafer production with such structures. It is arguable that the increase in complexity completely offsets the price premium of a SOI based solution. We have also seen with the Intel process that while power consumption is decreased as compared to the previous 32 nm process, the switching performance vs. power consumption is certainly not optimal. Hence the reason why we have not seen Intel release Ivy Bridge parts that are clocked significantly faster than last generation Sandy Bridge chips.
FD-SOI and planar structures at 22 nm and 20 nm promise the improve power characteristics as compared to bulk/FinFET. It also looks to improve overall power vs. clockspeed as compared to bulk/FinFET. In a nutshell this means better power consumption as well as a jump in clockspeed as compared to previous generations. Gate first designs using FD-SOI could be very good, but industry analysts say that gate last designs could be "spectacular".
So what does this have to do with ST Ericsson? They are one of the first companies to show a products based on 28 nm FD-SOI technology. The ARM based NovaThore L8580 is a dual Cortex A9 design with the graphics portion being the IMG SGX544. At first glance we would think that ST is behind the ball, as other manufacturers are releasing Cortex A15 parts which improve IPC by a significant amount. Then we start digging into the details.
The fastest Cortex A9 designs that we have seen so far have been clocked around 1.5 GHz. The L8580 can be clocked up to 2.5 GHz. Whatever IPC improvements we see with A15 are soon washed away by the sheer clockspeed advantage that the L8580 has. While it has been rumored that the Tegra 4 will be clocked up to 2 GHz in tablet form, ST is able to get the L8580 to 2.5 GHz in a smartphone. NVIDIA utilizes a 5th core to improve low power performance, but ST was able to get their chip to run at 0.6v in low power mode. This decrease in complexity combined with what appears to be outstanding electrical and thermal characteristics makes this a very interesting device.
The Cortex A9 cores are not the only ones to see an improvement in clockspeed and power consumption. The well known and extensively used SGX544 graphics portion runs at 600 MHz in a handheld device, and is around 20% faster clocked than other comparable parts.
When we add all these things together we have a product that appears to be head and shoulders above current parts from Qualcomm and Samsung. It also appears that these parts are comparable, if not slightly ahead, of the announced next generation of parts from the Cortex A15 crowd. It stands to reason that ST Ericsson will run away with the market and be included in every new handheld sold from now until the first 22/20 nm parts are released? Unfortunately for ST Ericsson, this is not the case. If there was an Achilles Heel to the L8580 it is that of production capabilities. ST Ericsson started production on FD-SOI wafers this past spring, but it was processing hundreds of wafers a month vs. the thousands that are required for full scale production. We can assume that ST Ericsson has improved this situation, but they are not exactly a powerhouse when it comes to manufacturing prowess. They simply do not seem to have the FD-SOI production capabilities to handle orders from more than a handful of cellphone and table manufacturers.
ST Ericsson has a very interesting part, and it certainly looks to prove the capabilities of FD-SOI when compared to competing products being produced on bulk silicon. The Nova Thor L8580 will gain some new customers with its combination of performance and power characteristics, even though it is using the "older" Cortex A9 design. FD-SOI has certainly caught the industrys' attention. There are more FD-SOI factoids floating around that I want to cover soon, but these will have to wait. For the time being ST Ericsson is on the cutting edge when it comes to SOI and their proof of concept L8580 seems to have exceeded expectations.
CES 2013: NVIDIA Officially Releases Tegra 4 SoC
Subject: General Tech | January 7, 2013 - 03:01 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tegra 4, SoC, nvidia, cortex a15, ces 2013, CES, arm
Details about NVIDIA's latest system on a chip (SoC) for mobile devices leaked last month. On Sunday, NVIDIA officially released its Tegra 4 chip, and talked up more details on the new silicon.
Interestingly, the leaked information from the slide held true over the weekend when NVIDIA officially unveiled it during a press conference. The new chip is manufactured on a 28nm, low power, high-k metal gate process. It features four ARM Cortex-A15 CPU cores running at up to 1.9GHz, one (additional) low power Cortex-A15 companion core, a NVIDIA GeForce GPU with 72 cores (not unified shader design unfortunately). In addition, the Tegra 4 SoC includes the company's i500 programmable soft modem, and a number of fixed function hardware used for audio and image processing.
According to Anandtech, the majority of GPU cores in the Tegra 4 are 20-bit pixel shaders though exact specifications on the GPU are still unknown. Further, the i500 modem currectly supports LTE UE Category 3 on the WCDMA band with an LTE 4 modem expected in the future.
Image Credit: ArsTechnica attended the NVIDIA press conference.
Tegra 4 will support dual channel LP-DDR3 memory, USB 3.0, and a technology that NVIDIA is calling its Computational Photography Architecture that allegedly will allow real-time HDR imagery with still and video shoots.
According to NVIDIA, Tegra 4 will be noticeably faster than its predecessors and the competing SoCs from Apple and Qualcomm et al. When compared to the Nexus 10 (Samsung Exynos 5 SoC) and the stock Android web browser, the Tegra 4 device (Chrome browser) opened pages in 27 seconds versus the Nexus 10's 50 second benchmark time. Users will have to wait for retail devices with Tegra 4 hardware for independent benchmarks, however. Thanks to the higher top-end clockspeed and beefier GPU, you can expect Tegra 4 to be faster than Tegra 3, but until reviewers get their hands on Tegra 4-powered devices it is difficult to say just how much faster it is.
Speaking of hardware, the Tegra 4 chip will most likely be used in tablets (and not smartphones). Here's hoping we see some prototype Tegra 4 devices or product announcements later this week at CES.

AnandTech managed to get their hands on an Samsung designed ARM Cortex A15 processor powered tablet, which they compared to several competitors such as Intel's Atom, Qualcomm's Krait and NVIDIA's Tegra 3. The test names may seem unfamiliar with Sunspider, Kraken and RIABench providing performance comparisons though the power consumption tests will be familiar to all. Read on to see how the next generation of chips from the main contenders for your mobile device spending compare.
"The previous article focused on an admittedly not too interesting comparison: Intel's Atom Z2760 (Clover Trail) versus NVIDIA's Tegra 3. After much pleading, Intel returned with two more tablets: a Dell XPS 10 using Qualcomm's APQ8060A SoC (dual-core 28nm Krait) and a Nexus 10 using Samsung's Exynos 5 Dual (dual-core 32nm Cortex A15). What was a walk in the park for Atom all of the sudden became much more challenging. Both of these SoCs are built on very modern, low power manufacturing processes and Intel no longer has a performance advantage compared to Exynos 5."

NVIDIA Tegra 4 Details Revealed By Leaked Slide
Subject: Processors, Mobile | December 19, 2012 - 03:26 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wayne, tegra 4, SoC, nvidia, cortex a15, arm
Earlier this year, NVIDIA showed off a roadmap for its Tegra line of mobile system on a chip (SoC) processors. Namely, the next generation Tegra 4 mobile chip is codenamed Wayne and will be the successor to the Tegra 3.
Tegra 4 will use a 28nm manufacturing process and feature improvements to the CPU, GPU, and IO components. Thanks to a leaked slide that appeared on Chip Hell, we now have more details on Tegra 4.
The 28nm Tegra 4 SoC will keep the same 4+1 CPU design* as the Tegra 3, but it will use ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores instead of the Cortex A9 cores used in the current generation chips. NVIDIA is also improving the GPU portion, and Tegra 4 will reportedly feature a 72 core GPU based on a new architecture. Unfortunately, we do not have specifics on how that GPU is set up architecturally, but the leaked slide indicates that the GPU will be as much as 6x faster than NVIDIA's own Tegra 3. It will allegedly be fast enough to power displays with resolutions from 1080p @ 120Hz to 4K (refresh rate unknown). Don't expect to drive games at native 4K resolution, however it should run a tablet OS fine. Interestingly, NVIDIA has included hardware to hardware accelerate VP8 and H.264 video at up to 2560x1440 resolutions.
Additionally, Tegra 4 will feature support for dual channel DDR3L memory, USB 3.0 and hardware accelerated secuity options including HDCP, Secure Boot, and DRM which may make Tegra 4 an attractive option for Windows RT tablets.
The leaked slide has revealed several interesting details on Tegra 4, but it has also raised some questions on the nitty-gritty details. Also, there is no mention of the dual core variant of Tegra 4 – codenamed Grey – that is said to include an integrated Icera 4G LTE cellular modem. Here's hoping more details surface at CES next month!
* NVIDIA's name for a CPU that features four ARM CPU cores and one lower power ARM companion core.
A $250 Dual Core Cortex A15 powered Chromebook from Samsung
Subject: Mobile | November 23, 2012 - 02:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ubuntu, Chromebook, cortex a15, Samsung, linux, exynos 5
At $250 this Samsung Chromebook costs less than most tablets or phones but can outperform previous A9 powered models and the Atom D525 as well. The processor is Samsung's Exynos 5, a dual core A15 chip running at 1.7GHz with ARM's Mali-T604 graphics and is accompanied by 2GB of DDR3 and a 16GB SSD. It can be loaded with Ubuntu 13.04 and offers a compelling and inexpensive alternative to Sleekbooks and Ultrabooks as it weighs 2.5lbs and is 11.4" x 8.09" x 0.69" and promises over 6 hours of battery life. Check out how it performs at Phoronix.
"Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch."

Apple Produces the new A6 for the iPhone 5
Today is the day that world gets introduced to the iPhone 5. I of course was very curious about what Apple would be bringing to market the year after the death of Steve Jobs. The excitement leading up to the iPhone announcement was somewhat muted as compared to years past, and a lot of that could be attributed to what has been happening in the Android market. Companies like Samsung and HTC have released new high end phones that are not only faster and more expansive than previous versions, but they also worked really well and were feature packed. While the iPhone 5 will be another success for Apple, for those somewhat dispassionate about the cellphone market will likely just shrug and say to themselves, "It looks like Apple caught up for the year, but too bad they really didn't introduce anything really groundbreaking."
If there was one area that many were anxiously awaiting, it was that of the SOC (system on a chip) that Apple would use for the iPhone 5. Speculation went basically from using a fresh piece of silicon based on the A5X (faster clocks, smaller graphics portion) to having a quad core monster running at high speeds but still sipping power. It seems that we actually got something in between. This is not a bad thing, but as we go forward we will likely see that the silicon again only matches what other manufacturers have been using since earlier this year.
Samsung Launches Cortex A15-based Exynos 5 Dual Core SoC
Subject: Mobile | August 10, 2012 - 05:12 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Samsung, Exynos 5250, exynos 5, dual core arm, cortex a15
A few months back, Samsung debuted its latest Exynos 4 quad core mobile System on a Chip (SoC) based on four Cortex A9 cores. The company recently released details of its next generation Exynos processor, only this time it is a dual core variant. The Samsung Exynos 5 Dual (Exynos 5250) is packing the latest mobile ARM technology with two ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores and a Mali T604 graphics core.
The dual core processor is running at 1.7 GHz and features the NEON fixed function hardware for accelerated video decoding. Further, the Mali T604 GPU is based on ARM's new Midgard architecture. The T604 includes a unified shader design with support for OpenGL ES 3.0 and the full OpenCL 1.1 profile. Not too shabby for a mobile GPU!
The Exynos 5250 also sees an upgrade (from 6.4 GB/s in the Exynos 4) in memory bandwidth to 12.8 GB/s between the processor and two port LPDDR3 memory at up to 800Mhz. The increased memory bandwidth along with the new–and more powerful–processor and graphics hardware enables Samsung to offer support for much higher resolution displays up to WXQGA or 2560x1600 pixels.
Other features of the new Exynos 5 dual core processor include USB 3.0 support, wireless display support, and a claimed ability to playback 1080p video at 60 FPS using Google's VP8 video decoder (no word on H.264 performance, though the ARM processor's NEON hardware should handle those videos well enough). The GPU is also able to allegedly use 20-times less power when displaying a static image (such as a web page or ebook page) called PSR mode.
According to the Android Authority, the first product to be powered by the new Samsung Exynos 5 processor will likely be the company's upcoming Galaxy Tab 11.6 tablet. Quad core variants of the Exynos 5 should come out following the successful dual core launch.
The Cortex A15-based mobile processor is packing some impressive specifications, and it will be interesting to see Exynos 5-powered devices. Specifically, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up compared to products like NVIDIA's Tegra 3, TI's OMAP 5, and even Samsung's own Exynos 4 quad core SoC. Are you excited about the new dual core SoC?
ARM aims to make TSMC the Fab of choice for their customers
Subject: General Tech | April 16, 2012 - 01:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: arm, TSMC, fab, cortex a15, cortex-a9, 28nm, 40nm
ARM has developed some optimizations for their chips, provided that the customer purchasing them uses TSMC to fabricate them. ARM has licensed a large variety of fabrication companies to produce their chips but with their familiarity with TSMC's 28nm and 40nm processes they have been able to introduce performance enhancing optimizations specific to TSMC. It could taste a bit like favouritism but is much more likely to stem from the volume of TSMC's production as well as the maturity of the 40nm process node. The 28nm node could be a bit of a problem for ARM as we have seen that TSMC is not having an easy time producing enough good dies for their customers; this is why you cannot buy a GTX 680. As The Inquirer points out, if ARM wants to make sure their customers can get their hands on reasonable volumes of chips, they will want to create optimizations specific to other manufacturers sooner rather than later.
"CHIP DESIGNER ARM has released a slew of optimisation packs for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 28nm and 40nm process nodes.
ARM, which licenses designs to many chip designers, including Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Nvidia and Samsung, has given TSMC a boost by offering processor optimisation packs for the firm's 28nm and 40nm process nodes. ARM claims the optimisation packs for its Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7, Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15 processor cores help designers make use of TSMC's process node nuances to get the most out of their designs."

Samsung is the first to put ARM's new chip into a product, the Cortex A15. While only 500MHz faster on paper, enhancements to the architecture have wonks predicting double the performance of the Cortex A9. This little chip will be capable of outputting 2560 x 1600 video over DisplayPort as well as supporting SATA, UART, and USB 3.0. This is a rather impressive list for a chip from a manufacturer that many have ignored. You can bet that the power consumption on this chip will be minuscule, but the capabilities are not. Check out SemiAccurate for the full story.
"Samsung (SEO:005930) has started sampling a processor based on the latest microarchitecture, the A15, from ARM. The processor is fabbed using 32nm high-k metal gate low-power process technology. The processor clocks in at 2GHz, but thanks to advances in the microarchitecture, it is roughly twice as powerful as an A9-based processor running at 1.5GHz.
Samsung has named its new chip the Exynos 5250."

Bone marrow biopsy
In a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, a doctor or nurse uses a thin needle to remove a small amount of liquid bone marrow, usually from a spot in the back of your hipbone called the posterior iliac crest. A bone marrow biopsy is often taken at the same time. This second procedure removes a small piece of bone tissue and the enclosed marrow.

The Pig
Online Reservations
Waiter were knowledgeable about the food & walked us through the menu & recommended some great choices. We ended u getting the cheek, which was a. Signature dish. Food was exquisite - high quality ingredients (all locally sourced), leasing to the pallete. Portion size was perfect - not overwhelming, but just enough to satiate. Service was good - with attentive/knowledgeable witer who was easy on the eyes : )
The ambiance and service were great. Some of the dishes weren't hits. The charcuterie is definitely great, as well as the pig ear salad and the braised cheek. The pork masala and the cauliflower can be skipped.
In a town full of overrated bars and restaurants - this place gets it right across the board. Outstanding food, great service, and a charcuterie plate to die for. I take pretty much all my out of town guests here and it's been a hit every time. Will definitely be back.
Get the charcuterie and the meatballs! Two of my favorite things! What a delightful neighborhood restaurant. I can't wait to go back.
Guess i thought there would be even MORE pig on the menu. good though.
Overall 3.5 enjoyed atmosphere. I had the cheeks. They were good but came out warm while my companion's was super hot. Great flavor but portion size too small. I was still hungry after I left. Thought grits aka polenta too lumpy and this would have been great with white rice and if it was hot.
My party of two had crispy ears and braised cheek to satisfy our pork craving. Both were delicious. The julienne of ear was sassy spicy and melt-in-your-mouth crunchy. In contrast the cheek and grits were tender and more-ish (we shared one entree and would have liked a second.) I wish we'd had a larger party so we could have tasted a few more of the yummy offerings.
A group of friends (6) and I went to The Pig for Restaurant week and had an extraordinary time. Our waitress, Taria, was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly and personable. All of us opted for variations on the RW menu and not a single one of us was disappointed. Three of us opted for the optional beer pairing and I thought each meal was paired excellently with each dish. I was very pleased with the presentation of each dish, although I must say by comparison, the Spicy Pork Masala, while delicious, was not the prettiest thing presented that night. This was a great time had by all and I'm definitely planning on returning Restaurant Week, or no.
I absolutely love this place. Their bar staff and waitstaff are great and always friendly. More importantly their food is awesome - I have been several times and have yet to be disappointed. I highly recommend the pork ragu (the favorite of everyone I would go with), the bacon-shallot green beans, and of course the truffled mac and cheese. Great for a date night or ladies' night out where you can try and share a bunch of things.
If you love pork, this is the place. Creative, delicious and excellently priced. Such a great deal. Must go!
Wanted to try a new place out for a low key anniversary dinner and so happy we decided on The Pig. We sat at the bar and had an amazing meal, the bartender was great and the drinks were perfect. Recommending it to all my friends.
Read a couple of favorable reviews about The Pig and decided to give it a try for a recent birthday celebration. From the moment we walked in the door we knew we had made a good choice! The hostess was friendly and quickly seated us in a cozy booth. Our server, Chris, was so knowledgeable, you would have thought he wrote the menu! We shared a number of the small plates to form our own "trip around the kitchen". Also, don't miss the on-tap Manhattans, complete with house-made bitters! Amazing! Everything we tried was great -- and believe me, we tried a lot!! Don't leave without trying the pig ears, braised cheek, mac & cheese, the face bacon (if you like pork belly, you will die for this), and the bacon wrapped peaches.
You can't miss the bacon-wrapped peaches. Whatever you do--get these! I didn't care for the pig ears. Too tough. Service good, cocktails nice. Worth a visit.
My girlfriend's masala entree was the standout -- very spicy. My meatballs were also tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. We finished in plenty of time to get to the Studio Theatre a couple blocks north on 14th Street NW for the early (7:30 PM) curtain of "Torch Song Trilogy".
I went to The Pig with a group of 4 friends, and the ambiance was perfect for catching up. Sharing plates is definitely the way to go. I liked every dish we tried: little pig tray, meatballs, burrata, mac & cheese... I definitely recommend.
When you have a hankering for out of this world smokey sweetness, The Pig is the place to go. We had the pig ear salad, loin pinwheels with Benton's bacon, the burger with face bacon and the spicy BBQ. Everything was fantastic. Service was solid. We were seated immediately on a Saturday night. Had a great time!
This was our first time there, and overall it was a fun, tasty meal. We got the tasting menu, which was a good deal. Cocktails were solid, and the wine list was well planned. There were a few delays getting dishes to the table, but our waiter handled that well.
The Pig has some of the best food in town. The highlight of the mean, shockingly, is the swine. You can get by if you don't eat a ton of pig, but your dining experience will flourish if you do. A great spot to take out of town guests that delivers on every single bite.
This was our first visit to the Pig, and there was a group of 4 of us. The staff was super friendly. I am from South Carolina and it reminded me of the Southern hospitality from home. The best part was the food though. My husband had their omelet of the day - house made sausage, gruyere and tomatoes - and it was fluffy, delicious and divine. Another person had the grilled cheese with face bacon and chips - also gooey, warm and fantastic. Another had the chorizo salad which was bright and perfect for anyone watching their weight. And I had the tongue benedict which had the perfect amount of sauce and thinly sliced tongue that would please even the least adventurous of diners, but also make us foodies excited. I would highly recommend!
Delicious. Especially great brunch foods. The ambiance is very low-key, intentionally casual. The waitstaff is very friendly and concerned about potential food allergies. Like very concerned. Overall a great experience!
My husband and I had a fabulous time there. Every single person who worked there was friendly and greeted us. The cocktails I had were delicious and so were my husband's beers. We had the following for food and loved every item: - foie gras with bacon jam - goat cheese gnocchi - little pig - meatballs - the best potato salad! We waddled out of there completely full and satisfied after some lovely farewells from the staff. We will be back!
Had the lunch tasting menu but they are stopping lunch. Had the pastrami, meatballs and salted caramel gelato for 19.95. Nice size portion and the pastrami sandwich was delicious. Also had the Miss Piggy cocktail - very good, too.
The genius of tail to snout cooking is one thing. Making it beautiful, innovative, and tasty is something else. The Pig delivers it all and I can't say enough about how much we love this place. Add to that a service staff who not only seem to genuinely care about what they're doing but who come across as knowledgeable and friendly, with great recommendations and that almost impossible to find - always there when you need them but never around you so much that you're tired of them - The Pig just gets it all right.
As always, The Pig was an utter delight - great food, even better drinks, and awesome service. It continues to be one of my favourite restaurants in the city!
We tried several items including the pate, pork cheek, oysters, BBQ, and the pork shank. Everything was extremely good. My favorite was the pork cheek and the BBQ was also pretty great. Even the sides were very good and I enjoyed the slaw. The Mac and cheese _looked_ good but I thought it was too dry so that was the only dish I would not recommend. Our server, Jason, was nice and knowledgable. Overall we enjoyed our dinner very much.
Family friendly place where you don't lose out on the quality of food. Everything from the drinks to the meals were great... there just wasn't much in the way of fruit though. I was craving some fresh fruit and they had nothing, no sides or anything, with that in mind. But, then again, it is the pig so I can't expect the moon. I should have doubled down on bacon I suppose. Delicious food! Pastrami sandwich was great but could use a better porportion of the pickled cabbage to the pastrami (mine had barely any cabbage) and my break was soaking in oil, or butter. One of those... so not the healthiest. I would work on cleaning up little details like that and this place would be top notch.
Visiting from Oregon, we asked for recommendations. The Pig was perfect-casual for travelers, very good food with unique choices and great taste. Wait staff hustled and helped with selections.
I would recommend the wild boar sausage. Very tasty. Also, house made pickles are delicious!!
This place was awesome! Every thing we ate was top notch. My personal favorite was the bacon wrapped apples and the chili. The waiter was also great. Not only did he give us great recommendation for the menu but helped us find other bars to go to after dinner. As a side note: not a close walk from the center of DuPont Circle
There were so many great pork options. The pork cheeks were amazing and the apple bundt cake with the pork. The charcuterie board was average, but still good.
With new restaurants open every week...the competition is stiff.....but the pig need not worry. It is outstanding with wonderful wait staff. Our new regular
I love brunch at The Pig. The jugs of mimosas are refreshing and tangy, and the spicy bbq sandwich with mac and cheese is the best bbq I've ever tasted. My fellow diners had the daily omelet, the pastrami sandwich, and the waffle with face bacon, and everything was super tasty and enjoyed by all. Go here!
The pig gave me and incredible dining experience. The food was delicious and different and the service was spectacular! I will definitely be going back
We had the chicharron (light, airy, not greasy, great first course), chickpea hash (flavorful, relatively light compared to everything else), face bacon (self-explanatory, it could have used a little more smoke flavor), porchetta (really quite good although could have been a LITTLE less dry), cheek stew (like boeuf bourguignon but a little less complex) and toffee cake (great sauce and cake flavor, the cake was a little dry for me). The service was outstanding, from the hostess to the wait staff. The ambience was semi-noisy and lively but we never had any difficulty with conversation at the table.
great food. the waiter was a bit condensing about our drink orders, two women ordering whiskey.
Someone was obviously very confident when they named a restaurant "The Pig" and they delivered. My colleague and I met for lunch and had great omelets (special for the day) with nicely dressed arugula and a side of cheese grits (very well prepared). It was a nice environment, great server and we had a lovely time.
Very good food, anything with pork in it, how can that be bad. The service was exeptional.
Had a great dinner on a Sunday in November. Wasn't too busy - there were available tables for walk-ins. I made a reservation about a week out knowing that it does get busy - out-of-town friends that tried to get in on a Saturday said there was no way they'd get in... So still very popular after being open over a year. Good food - nice atmosphere -"Supper" portions are great.
Perhaps the best Bloody Mary in town! And the biscuits, while not what I expected, were delicious.
Crispy pork shank was delicious and happy hour drinks hit the spot. Great service, nice dining environment, will definite go back!
If you like different type of food the pig is great to bring visitors from out of state. Pig cheeck and face bacon are to dye for! They also make fantastic drinks
I was hesitant to give Pig a try given I'm vegetarian and the namesake, but the menu clearly differentiated non-meat options. Cheese grits and scrambled eggs were yummy!
If the name wasn't enough of a hint, this is a very pig-centered place. Don't bring your vegetarian/kosher/halal date here; he or she will probably leave hungry. Also, they focus on the less-loved cuts (tails, cheeks, ears), although the standards are treated well. Since I have no objection to eating pork, I loved this place. The food was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and generally fantastic. It was very rich, though, so be warned. The Pig also has a surprisingly affordable wine and bar menu, as well as non-alcoholic options. You won't go thirsty. Service was great. Atmosphere is energetic and a little loud, but hey, it's 14th and P Street; I expected that. Basically, if you want fun, energy, and delicious food and drink, try the Pig.
Had a great experience at The Pig. The hostess was super helpful and kind when I called in a panic about my reservation and our waiter was really knowledgeable about everything. I really enjoyed the food and the beer I ordered. The food was delicious! I ordered the goat cheese gnocchi with peppers and sausage and it was one of the best dishes I've had in DC. I would note that the portion sizes are not huge. I really liked that because it was just enough to fill me up and leave room for drinks but if you are really hungry I might order a larger dish or three of the small dishes to split with your dining partner- the prices are certainly reasonable enough to do so. Would definitely return- its a really nice spot with a laid back atmosphere.
Three of us met to enjoy a first meal at the Pig. Although the server recommended the small plates, we were all in the mood for individual dinners, so opted for the "supper" section of the menu. The pork shank and chicken-fried pork steak meals were delicious. I especially like the relative amounts of gravy and potatoes on the chicken-fried pork steak (not too much gravy, but enough so that the potatoes didn't harden into a solid mass as they cooled). I guess we are rather timid eaters, because many of the small plates had very little appeal (since they are made of parts of the pig that we didn't know were edible). We particularly liked the "pop art" decoration of enlarged liquor excise tax stamps on the walls.
I wish I was the only one who knew about The Pig, but sadly I don't. Great food, great service & great Bloddt Mary's. Get over the name of the Heart Chilli. It is good.
There were 5 of us for dinner and we were all getting together in person for the first time. We had such a fun time at The Pig. I love the small plates. None of us left the restaurant feeling stuffed and we had shared many different things. The bacon wrapped apples were incredible. We shared a banana split with bacon brittle at the end. WOW. So terrific. I really appreciate the nose to tail concept of the restaurant and vegetarians could enjoy the chickpea hash which was really tasty. There are also a few other veg dishes but this place is really a shrine to Arnold Ziffel and that is NOT a bad thing.
The minute you walk through the door- all you can do is inhale all of the gloriousness of The Pig. The perfectly curated menu, while not overly expansive, is straightforward, tongue and cheek, and delicious. The service was outstanding the food was top notch. Not only are the pork items to die for (cheeks! and the seasonal fruit w/bacon), but the sides are fantastic. The cocktails are fun and innovative and the tap list showcases some great local brews. I recommend it for a fun outing and a bacon-laced evening.
My husband and I went here for a late dinner on a Friday night, it was busy and vibrant. The cocktails were well mixed and so delicious and we got a chance to eat many parts the pig throughout the night. Everything was so good and we agreed the best dish of the night was the bacon wrapped apples with blue cheese. Sounds simple but it completely blew us away. Also the braised cheek with lentils, soooo goood! we would definitely come back again.
The blood sausage is worth the trip. I didn't like blood sausage but I do now. The flavor is rich and smoky, and the texture is just right. Of the three varieties on the sausage platter it was the best. Another was very good and a third frankly dry. Overall, the nose-to-tail orientation is not faddish or smug, nor does Pig make a big deal of its serious foodie credentials. I like eating at a place that offers pig cheeks as food, not as a statement.

Strong malt smell with coffee coming through and what to me is burnt bananna. Many things that I can't put my finger on but has a spirit smell to it. Sweet malt taste, to sweet. Chocolate, coffee and a little molasses. Too thin for me, this type of porter isn't my usual. Again not my beer style of choice so one and done.

Color is a very dark amber that is only evident when held up to the light. S: The high abv is immediately apparent, but not in a necessarily off-putting way. The alcohol fragrance is followed by an enticing, rich, malty smell (oatmeal-esque). T: The oatmeal, malt smell is the first taste to come through. The taste ends up being dominated by toasted malts. Although the alcohol is definitely noticeable, it is not nearly as overpowering as the smell would suggest. O: $2.73 for a pint. This is one of the cheapest pints/single servings available at my local craft beer store, but it definitely is in the top half in terms of taste. I readily admit that I'm a sucker for beers that successfully pull off having a high abv. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys porters and happens to see this in a local store.

Rarely am I disappointed with his recommendations and this beer fits the bill. Previous reviews accentuate the estery l / fruit like finish, which is no doubt present in this porter. But don't allow those descriptions to scare you away from the roasty, chocolate backbone of this outstanding beer. Perhaps a different type of yeast and this would be a top notch imperial stout.

Toffee and caramel sweetness counteract bittersweet chocolate and dry mocha, resembling big, chewy chocolate covered raisins as this beer is loaded with dark fruit undercurrents including prune and notes of molasses and black licorice.

M - Creamy and smooth Black Boss has a medium-full body that finishes slightly roasted and bitter but balanced by sweetness for delicious and drinkability that subtly warms the tummy!

Small Rooms and No sharing of information that the hotel is non smoking on your patios.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
The hotel is very clean, and in a convenient location on state street close to the beach. However, the rooms are very small. Train tracks run right behind the hotel, and the loud horn of the train goes off late night and early morning!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Amazing Value - Still after 2 years and many visit"
Im always very satisfied when staying here. Ive stayed here at least 8 times over the last 2 years. Its a very modern-esque hotel. Love the design features. Great location. Yes there's a Train right next to it. But to be honest it doesnt bother me that much. Maybe others but its not that big of a deal. They also allow pets. Everyone is always very friendly […] and willing to help me out. Thanks once again. I'll always be back. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"NIce Boutique Hotel in Santa Barbara"
We stayed one night in the hotel. In general it was a nice modern hotel which we like. Rooms and main lobby were very nicely decorated. The only 2 things you should note as a traveller is the rooms are small and bathrooms even smaller. so if you have a lot of luggage it could be a problem. It's very similar size room to business hotels in Europe. Also […] I'd say the hotel carries sound more than most hotels There is no swimming pool but since you're up the road from the beach that probably not an issue. One of the real positives was that the hotel was very close to all the action in downtown. All in all a good option to stay. Prices in general in Santa Barbara are high so it's hard to say it's too expensive for what it is, but give me this place over a holiday inn any day which are in similar price range 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

Service was stand- out as we had to arrive late and exhausted. saved a parking space for us and had an answer for everything that made our stay easier.

"Very different Euro style"
The lobby is very nice, staff is very nice. Very dog friendly! I guess I didn't research the hotel much. I suggest to get the bigger room with the outside patio. Thats very relaxing to drink wine, eat and more room for the dog. Our first room was tiny, the shower is a swinging glass door so you don't fall into the toilet and a shower curtain that sticks […] to your body. All i wanted was a bath tub and some space. We were woken up at 545 from trash trucks, delivery trucks and the trains. There went my only day off. I had to complain. I did not pay lot of money to get woken up that early and not be warned of noise. The upgrade was much nicer, space to walk around the bed and the outside patio makes it worth it. The shower thing is still too small. However, the water was super soft! Interesting hotel, and very convenient to the beach. I have mixed feelings! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Great stay"
We thought this hotel was great! It is very close to the beach and Stern's Wharf, and short walk to restaurants and shopping on state st. Yes the bathroom is small but that didn't bother us, it is perfectly functional. We had a private patio that was very nice. Decor was greatExpedia 旅客真實的評價
"Super hotel super staff"
Very attentive staff in a totally renovated hotel two blocks from the ocean. Hotel decorated in modern design with exposed brick walls and minimalist style. Bathrooms were very small but functional except that open shower left floors wet. Ground floor rooms have patio while 2nd floor has 2 communal patios. Our first floor room had noise from above (unruly […] children) so the staff quickly moved us to another room. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Overpriced for room size"

We enjoyed Indigo, the hotel is a small European style boutique property. Rooms are compact but well arranged so it's not bothersome. Shower is open stall with one wall created by a glass door and another with a shower curtain, functions well but a bit unusual for US. Great location 2 blocks from wharf near funk zone wine tasting rooms. If you walk […] up state street you will be in center of clubs, restaurants, bars and shops including Paseo Nuevo.

As a sticklers for customer service, me and my wife found the service at Hotel Indigo to be excellent. The valley service, room service, and front desk were friendly and gracious.

"such a cool boutique hotel!"
With its own contemporary art library, old-time luggage lift, live plants hanging from the walls and semi-private patios, this place was awesome. Before booking we read reviews of the place and people kept complaining about the size of the rooms. Yes the rooms are small, but they're for sleeping and dressing and showering. I have had bad hotels with […] large rooms, so for me size doesn't determine quality. They are clean, beautiful, and have character - like the rest of this newly refurbished hotel. The location is unbeatable - beach, food and shopping at your fingers. The staff was very nice, too. I would highly recommend it! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Stay here..... (if travelling light!)"
Chic, completely refurbished old hostel. 2 blocks from the beach, 25 yds from railtrack! Heard only 1 train o/night and was no problem at all. Really convenient location on State Street. Reception welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Rooms tiny but ok if you don't have too much luggage - very clean, immaculate, smart base for Santa Barbara […] short term stay. Car parking available US$14/night right next door. Great restaurant attached - The Anchor - at the moment seems to be the trendy place to be (and be seen) at! Rated comfort of room 3 only because of size and storage space, otherwise would have been much higher. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Perfect for couples"
Small rooms and interesting bathroom but perfect for couples. Rooms are small but you don't need a lot of space if your only 2 ppl. But it is in a perfect area next to the train station that you don't even notice. But it would be nice if they had a pool.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Hotel Indigo"
The hotel staff was kind, helpful & friendly. I was really surprised @ the size of the room. With a king-sized bed in the room, there was minimal space to move about. With only me & my small son, it was a tight squeeze for the both of us. Being so close to the train station was annoying, but tolerable. The proximity of the train to the hotel will be […] an asset for those traveling by train. The closeness of the restaurant, Anchor, is very convenient & the food is delicious. My least favorite thing about this hotel was the Euro-style bathroom. I'm willing to experience new things, I don't get the appeal for this batroom. Although there is a glass door that separates the toilet from the shower water, there is nothing that separates the floor from the water. There is a drain for the water in the shower floor, but the floor is always wet! When I go to use the toilet after my son's shower, I leave with wet socks. I can appreciate the clever use of space, but raised borders along the shower floor would be helpful! In addition there are no elevators. If you're on the 2nd or 3rd floor you'll have to use the luggage lift for your bags. I don't think I would choose this hotel in the future. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Worst service and manager of all time"
I need to start by saying I never give bad reviews, unless it is extremely warranted. I stayed at the hotel on Saturday January 5th. I got back around 11 with several others who were staying at the same hotel. It was my first chance to see the very small room with the worst designed bathroom I have ever experienced. A European designed bathroom with […] a shower next to the toilet with no actual shower doors. All the water drains in the floor of the bathroom and thus floods the bathroom because of poor drainage. Since the room was so tiny we went out on the patio. We then received a phone call saying we have received a noise complaint. It was very strange since we were simply just talking with no music, but I told 2 people to go since they threatened to evict us. After that I was a little disturbed so my friend and I closed the patio door and just layer down in bed to talk. To our surprise, the night manager about 15 min later came and knocked on the door. He said we were still creating a noise disturbance according to him it was a "pre warning" before he called the police even though no one had complained. I told him it was impossible since I was just talking at the same tone and volume that he was using at the moment. I then found out from another friend that he was spying on our room and listening to us the entire time which was very creepy. Again this night manager had to be the worst manager of all time and I do not know how he is still working there. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

The good: great, quirky design with fun art on the walls; excellent, friendly service; fantastic location near the water in Santa Barbara; good, free coffee, iced tea, and wine. The bad: Rooms small by North American standards, which we didn't mind but other people might; thin, non-standard bathroom door doesn't allow for a ton of privacy, which was […] slightly annoying. Overall: A great stay and good value. Excellent choice if you are looking for something other than stodgy upscale hotels or cookie-cutter chains. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Great location-Shoebox sized rooms"
Great location with shoebox sized rooms. I get that the room-bathroom is supposed to be Euro-cool, but the concept doesn't execute well in the bathroom. I've seen this before where the stall shower IS the bathroom. This is common in Italy and parts of Asia. The swinging glass door bumps into the shower head. The shower head is double-jointed. Plumbers […] call this a "DJ" and just hate them. I can see where the building maintenance will come to dislike these also. There was train noise during the day. My wife grew up with major rail lines in her back yard and said it was white noise. I don't believe this was an issue after bedtime. The issue was noise with the hotel expanding into the space next door with a restaurant on premise. For two of our days, they were coring through the concrete walls and it was a very unpleasant noise. I figure this to be a short-lived annoyance. Overall, great location, small, but efficient room. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

When checking in, the very nice front desk clerk offered to upgrade us....very nice....however the upgrade was for […] the room I could have gotten for less $ when reserving!

This is a new hotel and so is really up to date and clean. Situated about 5mins walk to SB beach and 10mins to the main end of the city with shops and restaurants.

"Perfect for beach or town activities !!!"
Hotel is perfectly located for either a day at the beach or to head up State Street for a bite to eat or a few cocktails. The hotel staff was about the friendliest I have encountered anywhere. Very accommodating and willing to go any distance to make your stay comfortable. The low rate room we had was a little funky but the staff makes up for it. And […] hey, all your really doing is sleeping in it. Bring bikes if possible. Santa Barbara is a big place. Long State Street and a lot of beach. It just makes getting around easier no matter where you stay. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"SB Trip"
We were pleased by th equality of the hotel from top to bottom. I travel 100-125 nights a year, I'm not often impressed by what many hotels offer at this price range. Great, great service overall. We will stay at the Indigo again soon.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Hotel Indigo Stay"
For a new hotel we did not like the fact they had no lift only a luggage lift. Our booked room was given to another couple and no other rooms available so had single beds that night in a small room. We did get a discount voucher for dinner and our car fee was paid. Location was good and enjoyed the place of Santa Barbara.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"One of the best hotels i've ever stayed in!"
I travel about 2-3 times a month (for work and pleasure) so I have seen the inside of many hotels. This hotel by far was in my top three! I was a little nervous booking this hotel because there were only a few photos and 1 review, but I am VERY happy we took the chance on this place. The hotel is very modern and has a really cool vibe. I loved how small […] and intimate the property was, and the outdoor roof deck was AWESOME! The room was the best part. We have a first floor room which has a really awesome patio. The shower was a little weird, but cool. The room was very clean and relaxing, although it was a little on the small size, we didn't mind at all. The hotel was also in a great location!!! We were able to walk around everywhere we wanted to go. This location would be perfect for a girls/guys weekend or a couples getaway. I highly recommend this hotel!!! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Great location, friendly staff"
I absolutely loved Hotel Indigo. It had a great modern feel with art all around and unique and interesting decor. The rooms are small but they don't try to hide that; it's very European in all its aspects. Every member of the staff I encountered was very friendly and helpful. Two blocks from the beach and a short walk from upper State Street restaurants […] and shops. Make sure you stay with someone you're comfortable around but I highly recommend it. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Big Jewel in a Small Space"
This is a wonderful little treasure, that is located directly across the tracks from the train station. Being on State street, it's 2 blocks to the beach in one direction and 2 blocks from the main State Street strip. The rooms are quite small, but beautifully decorated. The bathroom is also quite small, but this place makes really great use of the […] spaces. When we arrived, they did not have a king room as we had requested, but they realized that before we got there and made up for it by upgrading us to a Queen Garden room, which had a small but wonderful zen like patio that we thoroughly enjoyed. Although I had read many complaints regarding noise from the train, I was not bothered by it at all and the train ran approximately 200 feet from our room. I would would definitely stay at the Indigo again. I actually really loved the room despite it's small size, and the staff could not have been more wonderful. The rooms are very modern but have a cozy appeal to them. The hotel does not yet have an anchor restaurant or bar (but the space for that is up for lease), but it's within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants and bars it doesn't matter. The room prices were very reasonable and considerably less than anything else that was available for Memorial Day weekend. Do yourself a favour and give this little gem a try, you won't regret it! 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

Today's blog is dedicated to a small bio-inspired robot that has caught Antonio Mugica's attention. This is Cyberplasm, a tiny prototype humanoid robot. Cyberplasm, when it is realized as a finished product will measure less than 1cm in length.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are developing this robot for the detection of human diseases. In order to do this, Cyberplasm integrates advanced microelectronics with the latest in biomimicry. It will have its own electronic nervous system, equipped with "eye" and "nose" sensors.
The robot will include components that respond to light and will also contain chemicals similar to biological systems. It is designed to mimic the sea lamprey which has a primitive nervous system and an excellent swimming capability. The ability to swim will permit this robot to access the human body and detect, in the future, a wide range of diseases!

LinkedIn is a living, breathing network that automatically updates itself 24/7 online. What's not to like? If you're a business owner or professional who is not on LinkedIn yet...today's the day to get started.
Last week I was privileged to hear fundraising expert Paul Nazareth provide some excellent tips last week on how to use LinkedIn to grow your business. Interestingly, he was presenting at a locally-based LinkedIn group: Social Media Breakfast Waterloo Region.
I've put together Paul's points with some of my own to come up with a Top 10 for LinkedIn.
1. Best LinkedIn resources: LinkedIn Log is a tiny book that takes you step by step from soup to nuts on how to plan and measure business results on your LinkedIn site. Other recommended marketing books: The Power of Pull, UnMarketing, and The Best Service is No Service. LinkedIn has its own YouTube channel full of how-to videos. Company Pages has lots of tips for organizing your business page.
2. Create both a personal page and a business page. On both sites, make sure you follow best practices using the resources above. The most obvious basics are to make sure your profile is 100% complete, have a professional photo, and at least 3 recommendations.
3. To get recommendations, give them first to as many of your 1st degree connections as possible. People usually wantAdult content and certain language are not permitted in premium blog posts.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Credit: CBS/Instagram
Instagram has abandoned wording in its new terms-of-service agreement that sparked outcry from users concerned it meant their photos could appear in advertisements.
In a blog post late Thursday, the popular mobile photo-sharing service says it has reverted to language in the advertising section of its terms of service that appeared when it was launched in October 2010.
Instagram is now owned by Facebook Inc. and maintains that it would like to experiment with different forms of advertising to make money.
Its blog post says that it will now ask users' permission to introduce possible ad products only after they are fully developed.
The outcry to the changes announced earlier this week led the company to clarify that it has no plans to put users' photos in ads.

It didn't seem real, the events of Monday's Boston Marathon. One moment I was taking a break at work, receiving mass updates from all of my friends who were running the event. Full of so much joy for all of the runners. The next instant, I was inside watching the news poor in, the images spreading across every TV channel…
How? Why? Who? The questions are endless. The reasoning will never be understood. One thing is for certain though, as many times as bad things happen… I am reminded of the compassion that humans can have for one another. The news showed so many videos where you saw people running TOWARD the chaos to help in any way possible, even if that meant putting themselves in danger.
This is why I run races. This is why I believe that people in the running community are some of the most incredible, selfless human beings you will ever encounter…. Exhausted ahletes who just tested their endurance for 26.2 miles coming to the rescue as a makeshift medical team. The reminder we needed that this is NOT what our world is coming to.
I know that we as a community, will (and already have) come together hand in hand and move FORWARD. We will all still strive to some day toe the line of The Boston Marathon. Boston will continue to celebrate Patriots Day with pride and love.
So, instead of looking back and dwelling on this tragic moment. I propose a toast.
Cheers to each and every one of you. Cheers to everyone who toed the line yesterday morning at the 117th Boston Marathon. Let us look forward with hope, love and strength. Let us always run out of love, passion and dedication, NEVER out of fear.

Grants Management:
Enhancing Performance Accountability Provisions Could Lead to Better Results
GAO-06-1046, Sep 29, 2006
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6543
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Maximizing the extent to which grants achieve their long-term performance goals is critical to successfully addressing the challenges of the 21st century. While performance accountability mechanisms are fairly new to federal grants, they have been used in contracts for some time and lessons learned have begun to inform federal grant design. Given this, GAO was asked to examine (1) challenges to performance accountability in federal grants, (2) mechanisms being used to improve grant performance, and (3) strategies the federal government can use to encourage the use of these mechanisms. GAO performed a content analysis of relevant literature and interviewed experts. To illustrate the mechanisms and strategies found in the literature, GAO used examples from the literature and selected additional case illustrations--two federal grant programs (vocational education and child support enforcement) and two nonfederal contracts--for further study.
Accountability provisions in federal grants can vary widely. They can be financial (e.g., bonus payments) or nonfinancial (e.g., altered oversight or flexibility), and can be employed by various actors at different stages in the grant life cycle. Mechanisms need to be tailored to specific situations since there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. Collectively, five key strategies appear to facilitate the effective design and implementation of performance accountability mechanisms. They are as follows: 1. ensure mechanisms are of sufficient value to motivate desired behaviors, 2. periodically renegotiate and revise mechanisms and measures, 3. ensure appropriate measurement selection, 4. ensure grantor and grantee technical capacity, and 5. allow for phased implementation. In addition to these strategies, collaboration, oversight, and feedback also appear critical to the success of performance accountability mechanisms. Opportunities exist to improve the design and implementation of federal grants. A results-focused design can enable and facilitate the use of accountability provisions. National program evaluation studies and demonstration grants can provide valuable information to support oversight of and knowledge about accountability mechanisms. Finally, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), agencies, and grantees can benefit from sharing good practices and lessons learned regarding performance accountability provisions. OMB recognized the value in sharing information on performance accountability mechanisms, but has not yet focused on this issue.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Director of OMB should encourage and assist federal agencies in working with the Congress to expand the effective use of performance accountability mechanisms, focusing on the practices in this report, when federal grant programs are being created or reauthorized. Further, OMB should offer opportunities for knowledge transfer among federal agencies and encourage agencies to share leading practices and lessons learned in implementing grant accountability mechanisms. Possible vehicles for the collection and dissemination of this information include good practices guides and workshops and Web sites such as results.gov, grants.gov, and expectmore.gov.
Agency Affected: Executive Office of the President: Office of Management and Budget
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: OMB confirmed that GAO's work on grants accountability significantly informed its approach to encouraging performance accountability in grants. In November 2007 OMB issued an Executive Order creating the Performance Improvement Council (PIC) and dedicated Performance Improvement Officers (PIO) in each agency. Among other things, the PIC and PIOs are meant to share leading practices related to performance improvement in general, as well as specifically related to grant performance. For example, PIOs are to work with implementing partners/grantees and stakeholders, including other agencies, to review and improve program performance and to benchmark progress against similar programs and explore opportunities for common measures. Building on this effort, in February 2010, OMB announced that the PIC developed several cross-agency "Problem Solving Networks." According to an OMB official, one of the new networks focuses on collecting and disseminating good practices for performance accountability in grants to state and local governments. OMB described the networks as a means to tap into existing networks, both inside and outside Government, to "find and develop smarter performance management methods and to assist others in their application" and leverage their dissemination and delivery capacity.

yes, i've played it and tried it out so trust me, it blows.
Anyways, I really dislike the design and position of the PSP's anolog stick. It doesn't seem that it'll be to comfertable to use. It doesn't even look like an analog stick. It looks like a button, or something. How the heck can an analog stick work if it's not a stick. I also think an analog stick on a handheld is a bad idea. The End.
My Neo Geo Pocket Color has an analog stick and it works wonderfully. Analog > d-pad.
I think the analog stick is the greatest thing about PSP. I mean the screen, graphics, etc. is nice, but I'm envious of the analog, and Nintendo is really just stupid to not include it.
The analog works beatifully and is the very fitting.
I have played it at e3 and at other secret meetings (involving some company that will remain quite) and I have to tell you it feels great. It's ment to switch your hand arround it differently to use the dpad or analog.
They showed this at e3 and you would have to be a moron not to figure that out.
One thing... How do you play it and not know how the analog works? Hmmm why do I not believe you... Just a thought.
E-mpired out - PEACE!
Answer me this Nights, compared to a mouse pointer, how does it feel...does it feel like a analog stick, I mean like a honest to god analog stick...
Edit: and when I say that, I mean does it allow a feeling of unlimitless freedom, or a slow or jecky response...now go play a console and you'll see what I mean by that..
Analog stick is a must for 3d games. Mario 64x4 will feel like shit on a D-Pad.
Very true, but I think it will be worth playing the ds either way. They haven't said it won't have one, and they know the importance of the analog stick, they were one of the first to add it to there system...they knew that the D-pad never felt right on the 64, so they added it as a feature...I really do think the final one will have one, but if they don't they don't, end of story...
I HATE ANALOG STICKS! i personaly think analog sticks suck...i think its easyer to use a D-pad...with an analog stick its hard to get the position of the character thing rite where ya want it...but...mabe thats just a problem that i have...mabe im too used to the D-pad...if the DS has a analog stick i think it'll suck...but ill still get it...
If you're playing a 2-D game, although even then analog is supreme. You have complete control (360 degrees, something a D-Pad cannot even touch, and IS a neccesity for 3-D games, the DS will suffer without one), and it gives you the ability to go at certain speeds, push to the right slightly, you crawl, a little more you walk, all the way and you run for your life, analog is the greatest thing that ever happened to controllers.Originally Posted by BlurpleMunky
the DS that we've all seen isnt the finished product. apparently they are going to put an analog onto it
Well...when i play DBZ Budokai on GC i use the D-pad instead of the stick...when im playing Syphon Filter i use the D-pad instead of the analog stick...when im playing MGS i use the D-pad instead of the analog stick...any game that i have a choice between the analog stick or the D-pad...i ALWAYS pick the D-pad
^You are probably the first person that likes the D-Pad over the analog in 3D games. That analog stick on the PSP is a great feature to have. I really think the DS should have one.
Proud 1993 JDM WRX owner!
i like the idea of an analog stick...but i want to know how far it sticks out...seems like the 1st thing to break on the thing would be the stick if its out too far.
May Peace Be With You
Yes, but No mention has been made of an anolog being added, we're all just hoping, and the odds are actually pretty slim, if they wanted to add an anolog they would've added before, but you never know, hopefully they will figure out how needed it is for all 3-d gaming.Originally Posted by thecube_128
well...with it being a portable with an analog stick...itll look gay...
it would probably look like this( with an analog stick ) http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/news/def...mediamode=free
^ It looks fine on the PSP, in fact, most people were unaware that it was an anolog stick, they thought it was a speaker because it's specially designed for a portable, so it's smaller, and fits quite nicely, look at some PSP photos.

A response to philosophical and practical challenges to the family, this work expands a tradition with roots in John Locke, John Stuart Mill, John Rawls and Susan Moller Okin and engages the range of contemporary English-language liberal political philosophy, the family, and current policy debates the book could well serve as the standard elaboration of a popular, if somehwat narrow, perspective.' - Tamara Metz, Reed College, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
