Group Purchasing Organizations:
Research on Their Pricing Impact on Health Care Providers
GAO-10-323R: Published: Jan 29, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 1, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Hospitals and other health care providers use purchasing intermediaries--group purchasing organizations (GPO)--as a way to control the cost of various medical products. Through GPO-negotiated contracts, hospitals and other health care providers can purchase everything from commodities, such as cotton balls and bandages, to high-technology medical devices, such as pacemakers and stents. By pooling the purchases of these products for their customers, GPOs are in a position to negotiate lower prices from manufacturers, distributors, and other suppliers, which may in turn benefit health care providers and, ultimately, consumers and payers of health care such as insurers and employers. Members of Congress and others have recently raised questions about the extent to which GPOs negotiate lower prices for health care providers. GPO and other trade associations have funded studies on the impact of GPOs. However, these studies have limitations. Congress asked us to review research on the impact of GPOs on pricing for hospitals and other health care providers. This report summarizes the peer-reviewed and nonpeer-reviewed literature on the impact of GPOs on pricing for hospitals and other health care providers that GAO identified in GAO's literature review.
In our review, we identified one peer-reviewed article on the impact of GPOs on pricing for health care providers that was published between January 2004 and October 2009. The authors of this article concluded that according to hospital directors of materials management who are responsible for hospitals purchases of medical supplies, alliances between hospitals and GPOs can contain rising health care costs by reducing product prices, reducing transaction costs through commonly negotiated contracts, and increasing hospital revenues via rebates and dividends. The findings in the article are based on a national survey of hospital directors of materials management. While we did not assess the methodology of this article, the article identified some limitations to the analysis, including that the findings rely on the perceptions of materials managers identified through a survey and do not include empirical analyses of hospital cost savings. The article also stated that the survey yielded a low response rate of 16 percent. However, the article reported that, although the response rate was not high, the researchers found little evidence of survey bias introduced by the low level of response and employed additional techniques to correct for any potential bias.

Literary Rejections on Display
A vast public collection of real-life rejection

#Publishing A #Novel: What To Do When The Future Is Behind You
This is unexpected, friends.
It's not that I am light on understanding the temporal and linear nature of the physics of time, or anything; it is, instead, that I am just so used to looking forward for glory, not backward.
It's all a bit disturbing to realize the thing I have toiled over has already come to fruition, had a lovely day in the glare of media attention, been read by several people in the world, and is now a thing, separate from me, and in my past.
Now what?
I need to look forward to something new. I am writing the memoir, but it's different--maybe just knowing that another book will not be the magic answer to all my human woes makes it so. I invested so much shiny hope into the novel; I believed so whole-heartedly that it would change my life once and for all!
But no one ever tells you about the year after you publish your first novel. No one ever tells you that seeing the light of your first novel getting published will bring you to a sad realization. And the realization is that there is no actual "it" just around the corner that's going to change who you are and how fantastic your life is. Publishing a novel won't do it, nor will all the fame and fortune in the literary world. (And I'm guessing here based on a tiny, tiny taste.) Nothing does that. So you might as well get right with yourself as you are.
This is one of the many secret they don't tell you.
But I will tell you, oh rodents, because here I am, living proof that I am still I, still here, still the same with all the same issues and problems.
I find this realization both comforting and depressing. I also know that you will not listen to me until you have gone through the experience yourself. But when you get there, I hope, at least, you'll be a little more prepared for this cold splash of water in the face than I was.
Peace out, for now.

#REJECTEDBOOKS.COM: A Call For Your #Rejected #Books (Sort Of)
Established as well as unestablished authors from across the world are invited to contribute to the art project Bibliotheca Non Grata — an imaginary library of rejected and thus non-existent literature — with titles of their own literary works that have been rejected by a publishing house or an institution and thus have not been published.
We call for titles of rejected literary works in any language and of any writing genre, fictional as well as nonfictional. All submitted titles of rejected works will be included in the public online catalogue of Bibliotheca Non Grata. A selection of submitted titles of rejected manuscripts will be printed on the spines of 365 hardbound empty book covers—one for each day of the year—which form the physical representation of the rejected and thus non-existing literature which constitutes Bibliotheca Non Grata.
Titles can be submitted on the project's website, where you can also find more information about the art project. Find out more on facebook.
Bibliotheca Non Grata is a public art project by artist Måns Wrange and architect Igor Isaksson, commissioned by the city of Umeå in Sweden, in memory of journalist, activist and author, Stieg Larsson's work for democracy and free speech as well as against discrimination and racism. The artwork Bibliotheca Non Grata will be placed in Umeå city library in the newly constructed and the Kasper Salin architecture prize awarded cultural centre Väven.

Why I Think You Should Not Purchase #GoSetAWatchman
agent, Maurice Crain, died in 1970. Crain was the one who edited her work, advised her, and helped her develop To Kill A Mockingbird.
Harper Lee really got the shaft at the agency McIntosh & Otis, particularly by Sam Pinkus, who made all sorts of dirty deals behind the author's back. The whole thing is detailed in Mark Seal's excellent expose at Vanity Fair, aptly titled "To Steal A Mockingbird." This should be required reading for literary writers, students, and book authors. There should be a quiz on it at cashier counters wherever GSAW is sold.
Additionally, the article reports the following:
A friend once asked Lee if it was true that she'd never written another novel because she didn't want to compete with herself.I feel you, sister Nell; promoting a book is not for the faint of heart. The New York Times reported on the history of the book:
"Bullshit!" she snapped.
"Why then?" the friend asked.
"Because I wouldn't go through all the terrible publicity and the strain of what happened with Mockingbird for any amount of money."
Asked about the volume of Mockingbird sales, she replied, "Well, it doesn't matter, because I only make 10 percent on it."
She rarely talked about money and never handled it. Her checks bore the account name of Harper Lee and Alice Lee, and Alice balanced her sister's books, paid her taxes, and reviewed her contracts.
"Go Set a Watchman" would have been Ms. Lee's literary debut, if her editor had not rejected it. She finished the novel, which takes place 20 years after "To Kill a Mockingbird," in the mid-1950s. But her editor, Tay Hohoff, told her to write a new version from Scout's perspective as a young girl.I must say, I hope no one ever discovers the skeletons of books I have in my closet, completed or not! It is clear that GSAW was a stop on the road toward writing the excellent classic To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAB).
Here are some facts:
- In 2007, Harper Lee suffered a stroke and moved home to Monroeville so her older sister Alice Lee could look after her
- In 2011, Alice ended up in a different nursing home in town after a bad fall coupled with a bout of pneumonia
- Alice Lee died last year, at age 103, and friends reported that Harper was sitting alone at the funeral and talking to herself. She did not seem to be aware of her surroundings
- Alice Lee's law partner, Tonja Carter, carried on the work on behalf of Harper Lee and was part of making the decision with Lee's agents to publish GSAW in 2015
- Tonja Carter also sued Pinkus (Lee's former crooked agent) to get back the rights to TKAM, which Harper Lee had been duped into signing away
- Tonja Carter is also now Harper Lee's power of attorney and can make decisions for her in the case that she is unable to make them for herself
- There are allegations that Harper Lee had kept GSAW in a safety deposit box to keep it safe and unpublished (See NYT article about who knew about the manuscript.)
- It was widely known that Lee didn't want to publish again
- The story of Tonja Carter "discovering" the manuscript in a pile of papers when Alice Lee was near death is suspect
- Alabama investigators are looking into at least one anonymous complaint that Ms. Lee, who is now nearly 90 and infirm, nearly completely deaf, and visually impaired, was manipulated into publishing GSAW
We live in a reality-TV time when everyone wants to know the story behind the story. Many readers will purchase GSAW just to learn about the book that Nell Harper Lee herself called, "The Parent of To Kill A Mockingbird." I don't watch Reality TV. I don't want to know how the magic trick was done. I believe it is the writer's prerogative to share or not share the behind-the-scenes of her wonderful published novel. Of course, it's your choice whether or not you yourself purchase the book, but at least you know the shady issues surrounding its discovery and publication.

R.I.P--The Happy Life and Peaceful Death of a Small #Literary #Novel
I published Miracle Girls when I was 48, much wiser about life and much calmer about my place in it (thanks to this blog). I know that every book that is born, also will die, and I am hoping for a peaceful ending to this lovely, lovely year. Everything that happened to the book felt like a total miracle, even though I was the one behind all the promotions and basically pulling all the strings. What I learned is that being arrogant and thinking you deserve something from the world is unhelpful and leads to unhappiness. On the other hand, being humble and feeling grateful for everything you get is a much more sustainable and comfortable position. I had a year that was beyond my imagination with this second book, and I am so happy about it. Still, though, now it is coming to a close, and I am faced with what appears to be a mixture of sadness and relief. Mostly, I am glad to get back to writing alone at my computer, where I get to think and not have to comb my hair or look presentable, if you know what I mean.
To write, publish and promote a book well, you really have to have a wide range of many talents: you have to be able to sit alone and dig deep into the painful places; you have to be persistent and wear a bullet proof vest for all the rejections you will get; you have to also be nimble enough to know when you are getting good editorial advice; finally, you have to clean up nicely and do some tap dancing for the media, book buyers, and interviewers. Each effort and accomplishment is exhausting in its own special way. But for now, going back to my book on being disinherited feels like a treat, though it is not an easy topic for me. (My third book is going to be a happy one, I hope). And when I feel unsure of myself, or beaten down, or exhausted in the writing way, I can still look over at my novel in its pretty pink cover and know that it exists in the world. Maybe somewhere out there someone is reading it. And that is really and truly amazing, isn't it?

Photos of #MiracleGirls at #BEA2015 #IT'STHEPINKBOOK
The hosts of the IndieFAB Awards (Foreward Reviews) had a table at Book Expo America this year, and you can see in the photo that Miracle Girls is out front (right corner). It's the flashy pink one. In other news, I did NOT win the Lambda Literary Award, but the novel that did win is an amazing work of fiction: YABO by Alexis De Veaux (Redbone Press), I read all the finalists in my category, and when I finished Alexis' book I thought, "This one should win." And it did! So the right and just literary judging occurred, in my humble opinion, even though my novel wasn't the winner. This made me happy. Congratulations @AlexisDeVeaux

This is an excellent hotel.
First, let me set your expectations. It is a basic long-term stay hotel (though also fine for short stays; mine was three days). That means only weekly visits from housekeeping, like most long-term stay hotels. As a basic hotel, the frills and luxuries are minimal. Yet for a basic hotel, it is quite nice, even upscale.
The hotel itself is clean and well-lit, and the staff is friendly. There is a guest laundry which is free to both wash and dry, which is quite remarkable. There is also a small store with basic food items and toiletries, such as fruit, cereal, microwave dinners, laundry detergent, etc. It is great to have an on-site basic fitness center, laundry and convenience store.
The room is spacious and also clean and well-lit, and has a kitchenette with a sink, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher (!), microwave, small coffee maker, toaster, dishes, utensils, and pans. The hotel even provides complimentary paper towels and detergent both for hand washing and machine washing dishes.
The room also has a good-sized flat-screen TV with DVD/VHS player and cable, an ironing board and iron, and hairdryer. The hotel has a decent size lending library from which you can borrow movies.
There is a desk for working and eating, and free internet is available both WiFi and via a wired connection, which is less common in hotels and appreciated as it is (somewhat) more secure and reliable. They even include the cable you need to use the wired connection, a very nice touch.
I only have one caveat of staying here: the hot water is extremely hot. I have never seen water so hot come out of a tap. Be careful or you could burn yourself. I would be concerned about this if traveling with children. Also, not really a caveat, but there are no restaurants or stores in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, so you will need to drive a mile or two if you need something.
Compared to other extended stay hotels I've stayed at, this one is very clean, very nice. It's the small touches that make a big difference.
If you're looking for a luxury hotel, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price, this is a good hotel.

Charter Schools:
Recent Experiences in Accessing Federal Funds
T-HEHS-98-129: Published: Mar 31, 1998. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed charter schools' experiences in accessing selected federal funds, focusing on: (1) start-up grants under title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); (2) factors that help and hinder charter schools in accessing title I and IDEA funds; (3) charter school operators' opinions about whether they are receiving a fair share of these funds; and (4) state and federal efforts intended to help charter schools gain access to title I and IDEA funds.
GAO noted that: (1) slightly more than half of the schools GAO surveyed received fiscal year 1996 start-up grants ranging from $7,000 to $84,000; the average grant amount was $36,000; (2) the schools used the start-up grant funds for a variety of purposes, including curriculum materials and equipment, other technology, and facilities renovation or leasing; (3) about two-fifths of the charter schools GAO surveyed received title I funds, and slightly more than half of the schools received IDEA funds or IDEA-funded special education services; (4) most charter school operators GAO surveyed who expressed an opinion told GAO they believe they received a fair share of federal title I and IDEA funds; (5) nonetheless, charter school operators also cited a variety of barriers to accessing title I and IDEA funds, including: (a) difficulties in establishing program eligibility; (b) workload demands; and (c) a lack of program and administrative experience; (6) they reported that outreach and technical assistance were critical to helping them access federal funds; (7) several states and the Department of Education have begun initiatives to help charter schools access federal funds; (8) some states, for example, are revising or developing alternative allocation policies and procedures to better accommodate charter schools' access to federal funds and providing training and technical assistance to charter school operators; and (9) the Department has recently issued guidance to states and school districts on allocating title I funds to charter schools, and, among other things, has sponsored national meetings for state officials and charter school operators.

drive traffic into its centers. Consequently, the company enjoys
a stable source of rental revenue. Furthermore, this deal with
WFM boosts its tenant roaster at these 2 centers and enhances the
company's capabilities to grow its top line.
Continuing with its winning streak, Regency reported a
positive earnings surprise of 3.1% in fourth-quarter 2013. The
company's fourth-quarter core funds from operations (core FFO)
per share of 66 cents exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2

This retail real estate investment trust (REIT) currently
carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Note: FFO, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of
REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization
and other non-cash expenses to net income.

This Topic Guide draws on lessons from programmes and case studies to explore which types of economic development interventions can be effective in FCAS and which factors have contributed to successes and failures. ...» more
Topic Guides
Our Topic Guides aim to provide a clear, concise and objective report on findings from rigorous research on critical areas of development policy. They highlight the key debates and evidence on the topic of focus, including on approaches and lessons. They are produced in close collaboration with international experts and with practitioners in DFID.
The social impact of private sector development
The private sector can have a transformational impact on peoples' lives as a creator of jobs and producer of goods and services that poor people use. Donor agencies are paying increasing attention to how private sector development can be leveraged to support poverty reduction and sustainable, equitable and inclusive economic growth. Making use of social development thinking is ...» more
Social exclusion
This publication aims to introduce some of the best literature on the definitions, understandings, causes, and impact of social exclusion, as well as how exclusion can be measured and addressed by governments, civil society actors and international organisations. The guide was written by Seema Khan (GSDRC), in close collaboration with Professor Frances Stewart (Centre for ...» more
The legitimacy of states and armed non-state actors
Legitimacy is a crucial aspect of all power relations. Without legitimacy, power is exerted through coercion; with legitimacy, power can be exerted through voluntary or quasi-voluntary compliance. Legitimacy lies at the core of state-citizen relationships and thus of the whole state-building agenda. This Topic Guide explores the meaning of legitimacy in relation to state and ...» more
Public sector institutional reform
The public sector is the single most important investment instrument for the state, and improving the way it is managed is critical for development outcomes including service delivery, social protection and private sector regulation. Public sector governance reform involves institutional reform – that is, changing the rules and norms that govern public sector activity. How can ...» more
Gender and conflict
What do we know about the role of gender inequality in producing or exacerbating the structural causes of violence and conflict, and about the multi-layered effects of violence and conflict on gender relations? What do we know about how to support gender equality in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS)? This Topic Guide introduces the research evidence. ...» more
Human rights
This topic guide provides an introduction to the interactions and links between human rights and international development. Human rights are increasingly visible in international development language, policies and programmes. Human rights, and the principles they are based on, are argued to improve the effectiveness of development programmes. But beyond that, a human rights ...» more
Social protection
Social protection is commonly understood as "all public and private initiatives that provide income or consumption transfers to the poor, protect the vulnerable against livelihood risks and enhance the social status and rights of the marginalised; with the overall objective of reducing the economic and social vulnerability of poor, vulnerable and marginalised groups" (Devereux ...» more
Inclusive growth
Absolute poverty has fallen substantially over the last 30 years, with most of this reduction attributable to rapid economic growth in developing countries. Yet growth often does not meet the needs of the poor. Economic growth in the absence of measures to ensure the sustained equitable distribution of its benefits has frequently perpetuated the concentration of wealth in the ...» more
Tax reform
Tax reform can reduce tax evasion and avoidance, and allow for more efficient and fair tax collection that can finance public goods and services. It can make revenue levels more sustainable, and can promote future independence from foreign aid and natural resource revenues. There is increasing recognition of taxation's role in state-building, in addition to greater ...» more
Political economy analysis
Political economy analysis (PEA) aims to situate development interventions within an understanding of the prevailing political and economic processes in society – specifically, the incentives, relationships, and distribution and contestation of power between different groups and individuals. Such an analysis can support more politically feasible and therefore more effective ...» more
Political systems
Political systems are the formal and informal political processes by which decisions are made concerning the use, production and distribution of resources in any given society. Formal political institutions can determine the process for electing leaders; the roles and responsibilities of the executive and legislature; the organisation of political representation (through ...» more
Decentralisation and local government
Estimates suggest that decentralisation is being pursued in over 80% of developing countries worldwide. For many people, local government is the part of government that most directly impacts on their lives, particularly via the provision of services like water, sanitation, and primary education and healthcare. Further resources The following resources were included in GSDRC's ...» more
Service delivery
Equitable access to essential public services is vital for human development, inclusive growth, and tackling persistent inequality. This topic guide provides an overview of the best available evidence on inclusive service delivery. It includes lessons from cases where aid has been effective at addressing weak front-line incentives, where services have been delivered in very ...» more
Inclusive institutions
Institutions are the formal and informal rules and norms that structure citizens' rights, entitlements, opportunities and voice. How can policymakers and practitioners support inclusive institutions to promote development that 'leaves no-one behind'? What do we know about what has – or hasn't – worked, and where? This Topic Guide synthesises the evidence, debates and approaches ...» more
Sequencing reforms in fragile states
How can governments in fragile and conflict affected states (FCAS) plan and manage reforms when everything is urgent and important, and when capacity and resources are low? How can external actors strategically support the fulfilment of essential and expected state functions? This Topic Guide provides an overview of the evidence that examines the sequencing of statebuilding and ...» more
Voice, empowerment and accountability
Voice, empowerment and accountability (VEA) interventions aim to support poor and marginalised people to build the resources, assets, and capabilities they need to exercise greater choice and control over their own development, and to hold decision-makers to account. This guide provides an overview of the best available evidence on the impact of VEA interventions. It identifies ...» more
Conflict sensitivity
Reflection among aid actors after the devastating genocide in Rwanda led to the realisation that humanitarian and development actors contributed to increasing tensions and exacerbating the conflict. Aid interventions have since been understood to become a part of the context – and in conflict settings, to become part of the conflict. This acknowledgement that aid is not neutral ...» more

Sonic Underground
Sonic the Hedgehog (also known as Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic SatAM) is an American animated television series. It was story edited by Len Janson and produced by DiC Entertainment. Made with the partnership of Sega of America, the show is based on the Sega's video game franchise and as well as the Archie's comic book adaptation franchise. The series depicted Sonic as a member of a band of freedom fighters, battling to overthrow Doctor Robotnik. It is the second Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, following Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and preceding Sonic Underground. The program aired for two seasons on ABC from September 18, 1993, until December 3, 1994. It continued in repeats until 1995.[1]
Plot summary[edit]
The show takes place on Planet Mobius, a dystopian fantasy world. Prior to the events of the series, a warlord and former scientist named Doctor Robotnik conquered the planet. Robotnik was once head of the Mobotropolis War Ministry. During a previous conflict, his creation of robotic soldiers called SWATbots led to the country's victory. In the war's aftermath, Robotnik was to be appointed Minister of Science. However, he seized power and exiled the king. Robotnik captures most of the citizens, including Sonic's Uncle Chuck. Using Chuck's Roboticizer invention, Robotnik transforms the population into his robot slaves. A handful of citizens escape to Knothole Village, and form the Freedom Fighters. Led by Sonic and Princess Sally, they battle to liberate Mobius.
|This section's factual accuracy is disputed. (December 2013)
Knothole Freedom Fighters[edit]
- Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Jaleel White, Tahj Mowry as younger Sonic) – Sonic is the protagonist of the series. He is able to run at superhuman speed, and is the only freedom fighter capable of using the Power Rings. Sonic possesses a defiant attitude, but is also courageous and cunning.
- Princess Sally (voiced by Kath Soucie, Dana Hill as younger Sally) – Sally Acorn is the princess of Mobotropolis, and Sonic's love interest. As strategist for the Knothole Freedom Fighters, she is intelligent and cautious. However, Sally remains competitive toward Sonic.
- Bunnie Rabbot (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) – Bunnie is a rabbit with a southern accent. Half of her body was roboticized, leaving her left arm and both legs mechanical. She is skilled in martial arts, and desires to be returned to normal.
- Antoine Depardieu (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – Antoine is a coyote freedom fighter. He has a French accent, and displays difficulty speaking English. Antoine's clumsiness often places the others in danger. He has romantic feelings for Princess Sally, and attempts to impress her. However, his cowardice hinders this goal. Sonic often teases Antoine over his shortcomings.
- Tails (voiced by Bradley Pierce) – Tails is a young fox who idolizes Sonic. Although usually left behind in Knothole, he proves bright in dangerous situations.
- Rotor (voiced by Mark Ballou in Season 1 and Cam Brainard in Season 2) – Rotor is a walrus, and the mechanic of Knothole Village. He provides the Knothole Freedom Fighters with useful inventions, and accompanies them on missions.
- Nicole (voiced by Kath Soucie) – Nicole is a portable computer that Sally uses to hack into Robotnik's technology. Nicole speaks in a female monotone, and exhibits artificial intelligence. It is indicated that Sally received Nicole from her father.
- Dulcy (voiced by Cree Summer) – Dulcy is a young dragon, who provides the Knothole Freedom Fighters with transportation. Sporting powerful lungs, she can blow enemies away and freeze them with ice breath. She has trouble landing, and often crashes mid-flight.
- Doctor Robotnik (voiced by Jim Cummings, reprising his role from the pilot episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) – Robotnik is a warlord who seeks to cover Mobius in machinery, and transform its population into robotic slaves. He is chiefly opposed by the Knothole Freedom Fighters. Robotnik's obsession with destroying Sonic is often his undoing.
- Snively (voiced by Charlie Adler) – Snively is Robotnik's assistant and nephew. He is constantly mistreated by his uncle. As such, Snively despises Robotnik and plots behind his back.
- SWATbots (voiced by Frank Welker, Jack Angel, Thurl Ravenscroft, Will Ryan (Pilot), Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Peter Renaday (Pilot) and John Kassir in Pilot) – The SWATbots are Robotnik's primary henchmen.
Secondary Characters[edit]
- Uncle Chuck (voiced by William Windom) – Chuck is an inventor and Sonic's uncle. He created the Roboticizer to extend the lifespans of the elderly. However, it had the side-effect of removing free will. Upon seizing power, Robotnik uses Chuck's own machine to enslave him. Eventually, he regains control of his body and acts as a spy for the Knothole Freedom Fighters.
- King Acorn (voiced by Tim Curry) – King Acorn is Sally's father, and the rightful ruler of Mobotropolis. He was dethroned during Robotnik's coup, and exiled to a place known as the Void.
Minor Characters[edit]
- Lupe – Lupe leads a freedom fighter group called the Wolf Pack. They eventually join forces with the Knothole division to stop Robotnik's Doomsday device.
- Ari – Ari is a former freedom fighter. He is bribed by Robotnik, and eventually trapped within the Void.
- Griff – Griff is a freedom fighter, unaffiliated with the Knothole division. He operates from Lower Mobius, a city located under Robotropolis
- Cat – Cat is a former member of the Knothole Freedom Fighters. He is captured in the first syndicated episode, and disappears shortly thereafter.
- Naugus (voiced by Michael Bell) – Naugus is a powerful sorcerer. He hates Robotnik for imprisoning him within the Void. He desires vengeance, but he cannot escape without crystallizing.
- Lazaar (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) – Lazaar is a reformed black magician, residing in the Forbidden Zone. While the wizard is in a self-imposed coma, Robotnik steals his digital book of spells.
- The Guardian – The Guardian is a mysterious cloaked figure. He watches over Lazaar in the Forbidden Zone.
- Cluck – Cluck is a robotic chicken, and the only creature Robotnik shows affection towards.
- The Teropods – The teropods are a dinosaur-like animal, and the final species that remains unrobotocized. Tails befriends a teropod cub he names Baby-T, and the Knothole Freedom Fighters help his family escape Robotnik.
- Muttski – Muttski is Sonic's pet dog. He was roboticized along with Uncle Chuck.
Broadcast and Distribution[edit]
Initial run[edit]
The Saturday morning series differs from the weekly Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which premiered the same month. While Adventures is lighthearted and comical, Sonic the Hedgehog featured a comparatively complex plot and dramatic atmosphere. It explored unusual story concepts for animation, including losing loved ones to war.[2][3] At ABC's request, the second season included episodes devoted to humor, while darker elements were reduced.[4] Other changes include Princess Sally donning a jacket for season two, and Rotor receiving a new design.
After the program's initial run, it appeared on the USA Network's Action Extreme Team from June 1997 to January 1998. The series aired in Canada on the CTV Network, with a bonus summer run between June 10 and September 2, 1995. ABC did not replicate this, replacing Sonic with reruns of Power Rangers. Sonic the Hedgehog has not been rerun in Canada since its cancellation on CTV. From 1994 to 1996, it had a complete run on the UK television channel Channel MCD. In December 1994, the first season was broadcast in the Republic of Ireland on RTÉ Two.[5]

In other media[edit]
Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic book was initially based on the Saturday morning cartoon.[8] From its earliest issues, the book shared the characters and story premise established within it. However, the comic differed in that it featured humorous plots modeled after the weekday show.[9] After writer Ken Penders had the opportunity to view the Saturday morning program, the comic gradually became adventure driven.[10] The comic series shifted focus again after ABC cancelled Sonic the Hedgehog, developing into a relationship based superhero story. Following a reboot, Archie's Sonic is now primarily inspired by the video game series. In all these incarnations, the characters and locales from the Saturday morning cartoon remain prominent.[8]
Video games[edit]
Several video games were intended to use elements from the TV series, although only one was completed. This was Sonic Spinball, released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis. It contained characters from the show, including Princess Sally, Bunnie Rabbot, Rotor and Muttski. The characters were also planned for use in another game, tentatively titled Sonic-16.[11] A prototype was created by the Sega Technical Institute. Yuji Naka disliked the project, and it was cancelled without further development.[11] Directly afterwards, the same team worked on Sonic Mars. Prior to cancellation, this would have featured Princess Sally and Bunnie Rabbot as playable characters.[12]
Sonic the Hedgehog received mainly positive reviews, earning a 7.1 score on the Internet Movie Database, and an 8.3 on TV.com.[13][14] The program initially ranked #9 in its time slot with a 5.2 rating, an estimated 4.8 million viewers.[15] After cancellation, it acquired a cult following.[16] IGN criticized the show as dated, considering it "so bad, it's good."[17] Writing for DVD Talk, Todd Douglass Jr. remarked that Sonic didn't stand the test of time. He considered it to be of low quality, although he found several episodes enjoyable. "I got a kick out of 'Ultra Sonic,' where Sonic finds his now robotic Uncle Chuck," he wrote. "'Blast to the Past Parts 1 & 2' and 'Doomsday Project' stood out alongside 'Ultra Sonic' as the crème of the crop."[18] FlickeringMyth felt Sonic aged better than is often supposed, praising its well-executed characterizations and treatment of war.[19] GamesRadar listed the show as one of "the worst things to happen to Sonic." It criticized its plot and characters as "unwanted".[20] Former Escapist journalist, Bob Chipman credited the series with providing a viably menacing take on Doctor Robotnik, and an engaging narrative.[21] Bob Mackey of USgamer wrote that the cartoon's writing didn't live up to its intriguing premise. In particular, he argued that the Antoine character perpetrated negative French stereotypes.[22] Meanwhile, Doug Walker of That Guy with the Glasses considered the series "a great show," and better than he remembered. He praised it for "literally taking nothing and turning it into something," with a strong story and good character development, as well as a subtle environmental message.[23]

In fact, it was perhaps the first time in animation history that two separate shows were simultaneously produced featuring the same character. "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" took a freewheeling slapstick approach to the characters and was seen across the nation in daily syndication. Meanwhile, the ABC-TV network checked in with a Saturday morning version simply called "Sonic the Hedgehog." This series was filled with pure, slam-bang adventure and intrigue—and thoughtful characterization. In the beginning, Sega instructed our editorial team to reflect the art and story styles of the syndicated series, but it soon became apparent from fan reaction that the Saturday morning series was the one striking a nerve. The comic soon followed suit with a mix of the two styles, but a heavier emphasis on the dramatic." -Paul Castiglia, former editor of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic
- ^ "I became enamored of the storylines in the series but was told we couldn't tie-in directly to the stories in the series as DiC - just like SEGA - refused to cooperate with us in allowing us access to their material for the purpose of tying together the continuity of the book with the show, something I was very much interested in, as was Scott. It was only during the time when it was uncertain whether or not ABC would even renew the series for a third season that DiC provided us with scripts and other materials, probably out of hope that maybe the book would help attract more viewers if it were tied in more closely with the show. Mike and I were even invited to submit outlines with the idea we would be contributing to the third season as scriptwriters. … It was only when we we learned the show was cancelled that I changed my mind about embracing the show as it was and instead decided to proceed as if the book were the third season and continuing beyond that. There were many reasons for this but the most important one boiled down to simply this: the book's very survival. We never, ever felt the book had much of a shelf life beyond the existence of the games and animated series if we didn't develop it into its own unique series." -Ken Penders, former writer of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic, The Times They Are A' Changing.

All up it was a good experience and I would recommend this apartment to others!
The location was great, right in the middle of Playa del Carmen, and the apartment was large and beautiful.
I can only suggest to take previous poor marks in context, and give this host a shot.
The apartment is huge for two bedrooms, very clean and simply, but beautifully, decorated.
The apartments are really spacious and comfortable and just a few minutes walk away from the beach.
Estuvo muy pendiente de la hora dn que llegábamis, y que no nos faltara absolutamdnte nada. Todo SUPER bien
Me husband and I stayed in this apartment with our 11 month old baby and it was perfect. Cynthia was welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. Our baby is still crawling, so Cynthia arranged for our floor to be mopped every day against minor additional pay. The location was great. Mamita's beach club is just 5 min away and 5th avenue stroll even closer. We will definitely visit again.
Our experience met all our expectations, Cynthia and her crew were very helpful and available. The condo was very spacious and clean. Definitely recommend this property and hope to return again!!
1. GREAT LOCATION! central with plenty of restaurants, etc
2. Clean, well maintained, and cute building
3. Great hosts that are always available and very friendly
4. Bright units with everything you'll need to be comfortable
Was initially a bit apprehensive about this one based on an unwarranted poor review from one of the previous guests. I contacted the host and questioned her about this. She assured me I would thoroughly enjoy my stay at her place.
After checking in and looking around, I was really glad I made the decision to go through with it. I can certainly attest that this is a very nice rental and you will be very pleased to stay here.
I can only suggest to take previous poor marks in context, and give this host a shot.
We had a lovely stay. The location was great, right in the middle of Playa del Carmen, and the apartment was large and beautiful. We felt very welcome and received lots of helpful suggestions about where to go for laundry, food, snorkeling, beaches, and more! Thank you so much.

Im Cynthia, Mexican girl working together with my business partner Kate, an English girl.
We are the administrators of this beautiful and idyllically located building with 8 two bedroom apartments.
More than the word "working", this is a personal project for us and we believe in the potential of this venture, into which we are putting all our hearts and efforts to provide a very special vacation home to all our guests.
We both have been living in Playa for many years, 7 and 5, so we know vast amounts about the area and of course we are happy to share our advice and experience with our guests.
Both of us live in the same building, so we are around and available for anything you might need during your stay.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Jordan's King Abdullah has ordered the government to freeze a hike in the price of the low-grade fuel used by the poor in the aid-dependent kingdom, which is struggling to absorb refugees from neighbouring Syria.
The price hike, which sparked several scattered street protests by the government's tribal and Islamist opponents, was the second this year under IMF-guided measures to cut subsidies and ease budget strains.
Palace officials said on Monday the king had asked Prime Minister Fayez al-Tarawneh's government to freeze the planned 10 percent rise in the price of lower-grade gasoline.
On Sunday, 89 of the 120 deputies in the country's lower house of parliament signed a petition urging the king to dismiss Tarawneh over the move, which took effect on Saturday.
The government, mindful of public fury that exploded into street clashes in the depressed south of the country after two price hikes in 1989 and 1996, has long been reluctant to raise fuel prices.
Street protests early last year, inspired by the wave of Arab unrest, pushed the authorities to expand social spending and freeze fuel price hikes, including gasoline.
But the government raised the price of premium petrol by 20 percent last May and a month later raised the price of lower grade gasoline used by lower-income Jordanians - the majority of the country's seven million population - by 12.9 percent.
Jordanian officials say such measures show the commitment to fiscal consolidation needed to keep International Monetary Fund (IMF) support and win further aid.
Economists have it is becoming increasingly untenable for Jordan to maintain subsidies, plus a bureaucracy whose salaries consume most of the $9.6 billion annual budget, in the absence of large inflows of foreign capital or aid.
Officials say the rise in gasoline prices will help Jordan meet an IMF-backed budget deficit target of around 5 percent of gross domestic product after grants that traditionally cover budget shortfalls.

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault PlayStation 3
- Publisher: SCEA
- Release Date: Nov 27, 2012
- Also On: PlayStation Vita
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Jan 7, 2013There is still joy to be found in Ratchet and Clank's trademark weapons and humour, but Q-Force's lack of focus ultimately proves its undoing.
Dec 21, 2012Fun, but short and a bit dull. We expected much more from Insomniac Games.
Dec 21, 2012QForce is quite enjoyable and with the budget price it comes with can certainly be recommended to fans of the franchise. But it's not a "proper" R&C game and certainly not the ideal way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Insomniac's beloved duo.
Dec 21, 2012Full Frontal Assault takes the series in a direction that seems fitting. It is just a shame that the pieces didn't come together as well as they could have.
Dec 20, 2012An odd mix of genres that doesn't capture the magic you usually get from a Ratchet & Clank title. A game that can be fun for a while but never really manages to create its own identity.
Dec 13, 2012Unfortunately, despite being fun, there's just not much to it. It's a quarter of a story and just one online mode. And while the whole tower defense thing works, and the game looks, sounds, and plays perfectly well, you can't shake the feeling that you've seen it all before.
Dec 12, 2012There is no denying that Full Frontal Assault can be an entertaining game in the realm of multiplayer, but with no story mode that fans have come to expect, and a lack of further multiplayer options, the experience becomes repetitive and somewhat boring quite quickly.
Dec 10, 2012I don't know if I can recommend Q-Force to fans of the series. I think that after 11 games with these heroes, Insomniac Games has hit a wall. It's quite a good and demanding game that, unfortunately, has nothing in common with the "platform shooter" that the fans know and love. Insomniac has some ideas for this brand, but the new game isn't great both as a platformer, and as a tower defense game. Mixing these two elements produces a decent end result, but you should want more from such a developer.
Dec 7, 2012Enjoyable multiplayer modes are only worth so much when backed by a paltry single player campaign, but taking the budget price tag into account, we can think of worse Christmas stocking-fillers for fans of the series of the tower defense genre.
Dec 4, 2012The tight competitive multiplayer experience is a ray of hope in what's otherwise a rather depressing package. Campaign mode downplays the wide-eyed humor that was once the soul of the series, diluting it with a stressful, poorly balanced tower defense clone.
Dec 3, 2012Full Frontal Assault isn't as much of an evolution of the series as it is a fun experiment with its mechanics. Unless the support is there for more maps down the road, it might not be in your regular rotation for more than a few weeks or so. Still, it's a pretty good bang for your buck whether you're a longtime fan or not.
Dec 3, 2012Ratchet & Clank: QForce shows that hybrids of different games hardly ever work well. The attempt at uniting tower defense- and platform-action, only works in the competitive multiplayer. This combination only limits the rest of the game.
Nov 27, 2012The game always looks good, and it amuses sporadically, but there's no heart - and following on from the similarly scattershot All 4 One, it sets a worrying precedent. Ratchet and Clank are in danger of losing their way. Insomniac needs to regain confidence in its still-popular series and play to its strengths rather than chasing trends for the sake of change.
Nov 27, 2012Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault has some interesting ideas, but repetition and poor level design let the single-player campaign down. The innovative multiplayer mode represents the mini-adventure's strongest asset, but it's unlikely to hold your attention for very long. PlayStation's most enduring duo have seen better days, but this is still a likeable celebration of a fantastic franchise.
Dec 5, 2012It's certainly great that Insomniac Games wanted to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Ratchet & Clank series with a fresh new gameplay experience. Sadly, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault doesn't totally work. It's possible that the PS Vita will be a more natural fit for the game, and we expect to spend some time with that version when it is released.
Play UKJan 23, 2013It just ends up feeling like a slog. [Issue#227, p.70]
Jan 16, 2013Ratchet and Clank: QForce desperately needs to be played with company, either locally or online, otherwise it will be a quick journey to boredom.
Dec 21, 2012QForce is a disappointment because it feels like a Ratchet and Clank game, and to see the series go from some of the most high-profile Sony releases to an obscure multiplayer focused budget releas such as this is kind of disheartening.
Dec 12, 2012The dynamic duo Ratchet and Clank has their 10 year anniversary, and it's a crying shame they couldn't get a more interesting game than this for the jubilation.
Dec 4, 2012A flawed mix of shooter and Tower Defense, but a far great failure as an anniversary celebration – since it seems certain to decrease the chances of there ever being another.
Nov 30, 2012Often it simply feels like too much work for a single player, as you're constantly bombarded with conflicting tasks.
Dec 6, 2012Aside from some moments of classic Ratchet & Clank humor, Full Frontal Assault fails both as a tower defense game and as a means to hold fans of the franchise over until Insomniac delivers a new mainline title.

Nov 28, 2012This game is another step in the wrong direction for ratchet and clank. Who voted to have a monster single player polished franchise move toThis game is another step in the wrong direction for ratchet and clank. Who voted to have a monster single player polished franchise move to multiplayer? I think it is better than All 4 one because atleast the classic control feel is back with a true 3rd person camera. This game is fun to play for 30 minutes or so but gets old very fast. I fear one of my favorite franchises may be dying. I truly hope insomniac plans to give us a true sequel to a crack in time as that was the last truly amazing ratchet and clank game. Graphically this game doesn't look good either. It only runs at 30fps which would be ok if the graphics were impressive like in uncharted or gears of war. Ratchet games have always looked simple but they still looked good because the cartoon like art style was complemented by a buttery smooth 60fps. This engine seems to be the same as all 4 one, which looks worse than a crack in time especially the character models. In summary, boring campaign, no heart to the story, 30fps with all 4 one quality character models, this game feels like a boring multilayer attempt that should have accompanied a true sequel to a crack in time, too bad there isn't an awesome single player campaign to make up for this multiplayer crapfest.… Full Review »

From the moment the start screen appears, you get that classic Ratchet & Clank feel, and when you get into the game, it nicely blends some old school and new Ratchet very nicely. Multiplayer is very fun and addicting, single player is also a blast. If you're into the 3D thing, it's great. The colours in it aren't washed out when you change to 3D like they were in All 4 One. The feel is great and puts you deeper into the game.
Unfortunately I had to right this extra part in my review:
This game gets quite frustrating by the time you get to the 4th level. The final waves of enemies just gets unbelievably difficult to defeat. You need many defences to protect your base, but they cost a lot of bolts. You never have enough bolts to actually purchase enough defences. You also run out of ammo much too quickly and end up dying or loosing your base many many times. I changed my rating from a 9 to an 8 because of this.
