'We Would All Like Climate Sensitivity To Be Lower But It Isn't' Says Lead Scientist Of New Study
It would be good news if the climate's sensitivity to carbon pollution were on the low side. No, that wouldn't save us from catastrophic global warming — 7°F warming or higher — if we stay anywhere near our current emissions path (as I explain here).
But a low sensitivity would mean that aggressive action to reduce CO2 emissions starting now would have a modestly higher chance of keeping total warming below 4°F and averting the worst impacts. That's the point of New Scientist's article, "A second chance to save the climate" on a new sensitivity study in Nature Geoscience:
"If we are lucky and the climate sensitivity is at the low end, and we have a strong agreement in 2015, then I think we stand a chance to limit climate change to 2 °C," says Corinne Le Quéré of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich, UK. "But there's a lot of ifs."
If this new study is accurate, then near-term surface warming might be less than expected. But as the lead author Oxford's Dr. Alexander Otto told the BBC, "We would all like climate sensitivity to be lower but it isn't."
The researchers say the difference between the lower short-term estimate and the more consistent long-term picture can be explained by the fact that the heat from the last decade has been absorbed into and is being stored by the world's oceans.
Recent studies make clear the ocean is warming quite fast, as (see "Global Warming Has Accelerated In Past 15 Years, New Study Of Oceans Confirms" and here). If, as many climatologists believe, some of that ocean heat is released to the surface in the next decade or two, that would reverse the recent slowdown in the rate of surface warming.
Also, many other recent studies find that the climate is more sensitive than we expected:
- Last Time CO2 Levels Hit 400 Parts Per Million The Arctic Was 14°F Warmer!
- Observations Support Predictions Of Extreme Warming And Worse Droughts This Century
Indeed, the new study does little to eliminate the confusion about sensitivity. The media continue to conflate and confuse climate sensitivity with how much warming will we subject our children and countless future generations to (see here and below).
Another related source of confusion is conflating "climate sensitivity" — which generally refers to the change in the global surface temperatures (absent major feedbacks) — with how sensitive the climate itself is to changes in temperature.
For instance, our climate models wildly underestimate what's happening in the Arctic right now:
Arctic sea ice is melting much, much faster than even the best climate models had projected (actual observations in red). The reason is most likely unmodeled amplifying feedbacks. The image (from Climate Crocks via Arctic Sea Ice Blog) comes from a 2007 GRL research paper by Stroeve et al.
And considerable recent research suggests that our climate in turn is much more sensitive to Arctic ice loss than we ever thought:
- Arctic Warming Favors Extreme, Prolonged Weather Events 'Such As Drought, Flooding, Cold Spells And Heat Waves'
- NOAA Bombshell: Warming-Driven Arctic Ice Loss Is Boosting Chance of Extreme U.S. Weather
- How Arctic Ice Loss Amplified Superstorm Sandy — Oceanography Journal
Finally, since the media keep misreporting the issue, here once again are the four factors that determine how much warming we are going to inflict on future generations:
- The so-called "equilibrium climate sensitivity" – the sensitivity of the climate to fast feedbacks like sea ice and water vapor. The ECS, which is typically the focus of modeling studies like the new one discussed above, is how much warming you get if we suddenly adopt a super-aggressive effort to cut carbon pollution and only double CO2 emissions to 560 ppm — and there are no major "slow" feedbacks. We know the fast feedbacks, like water vapor, are strong by themselves (see Study: Water-vapor feedback is "strong and positive," so we face "warming of several degrees Celsius" and Skeptical Science piece here).
- The actual CO2 concentration level we hit, which on our current emissions path is far, far beyond 550 ppm (see U.S. media largely ignores latest warning from climate scientists: "Recent observations confirm … the worst-case IPCC scenario trajectories are being realised" — 1000 ppm).
- The real-world slower (decade-scale) feedbacks, such as tundra melt (see "Carbon Feedback From Thawing Permafrost Will Likely Add 0.4°F – 1.5°F To Total Global Warming By 2100").
- Where they live — since people who live in the mid-latitudes (like most Americans) are projected to warm considerably more than the global average.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in 2007 that equilibrium climate sensitivity was in the range of 2.0-4.5C. The new study has a similar range, 0.9-5.0C.
Actual warming this century on our current emissions path is all but certain to be catastrophic, even if ECS is closer to 2°C than 3°C or more.

We would all like the repair costs of extreme weather to be lower and a tie to fossil fuels between FEMA funding and a fossil fuel luxury tax might show interest in the costs of disaster weather events. What does it mean to take a stand on the realities of funding for FEMA? People and agencies seem to need FEMA's help.
Anthropogenic realities?
"Our understanding of sensitivity is based on the Earth's history, not on climate models, and we have good data on how the Earth responded in the past when carbon dioxide changed. So there is no reason to change the forecast for the long term." – James Hansen http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/may/17/global-warming-not-stalled-climate
Polar vortex moves deepest current
The system is very sensitive to the weather over the seas east and west of Greenland, said Reichler. A few tenths of degrees cooling more or less will make the difference between sinking or not. And that climatological Achilles' heel is one of the factors that make it possible that events about 30 kilometers higher have an influence on it.
Reversing the polar vortex affects currents
"Another reason is that changes in the stratosphere seem to happen on very long time scales, there's a decadal rhythm to it", Reichler says.
Those changes reduce the strength of the prevailing westerly winds over Greenland, and with that the transport of cold air from North America. That, in turn, will decrease the rate of cooling of the ocean water. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/news/polar-vortex-moves-deepest-current/
The Winter the Polar Vortex Collapsed
The polar vortex was persistently weak from November 2012 through March 2013. At the peak of winter, in mid-January, the polar vortex was split in two by a massive sudden stratospheric warming. Instead of a vortex, very high surface pressure built under a dome of sinking over the north pole. Astonishingly, high pressure over the pole extended from the surface to the mid-stratosphere from late November to mid-March.
High pressure over the pole pushed the weakened jet stream south over Siberia causing brutally cold weather in north-east Asia. Record smashing snow storms formed off the east coast of the U.S. when the blocked jet stream collided Arctic air with Gulf Stream moisture.
Paradoxically, this bizarre winter may be tied to the loss of Arctic sea ice. Even more paradoxically, the "Global warming Stopped in 1998" claim touted by climate skeptics may be linked to this winter's bizarre weather. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/03/22/1195793/-The-Winter-the-Polar-Vortex-Collapsed
Joe – Have you read Rep. Lamar Smith's opinion piece in the Washington Post today? He has about every denialists' talking point starting with the supposed fact that global temperatures held steady over last 15 years according to University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit. His link to charts for the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere and Globally to me show steady increase over the last 15 years and not holding steady as Rep. Smith says. Rep. Smith has a link to a State Dept. study and says the XL pipeline will create 40,000+ US jobs. I looked at the State Dept. link and I can't find any mention of 40,000+ jobs. I'm sure Rep. Smith's opinion piece does what is intended and that is to confuse the confused even more.
Major volcanic eruptions cool the ocean at both 0-300m and 0-700m depths (Balmaseda et al. (2013) Figure 1). I was surprised at a 'quick' response for the deeper measurements.
What would be prudent to realize is that we would need a triple Pinatubo (1991) to negate the ocean temperature rise between Pinatubo circa 1992 and 2009.
Maybe if we measured the consequences of global warming in terms of the volcanic eruptions that would be 'needed' to countervale against it, instead of the somewhat abstract "sensitivity," more people would get the picture.
Joan–Aren't the effect of volcanoes temporary anyway? After an extreme volcanic event, the temperature would be cooler for a couple of years but it would then go back to where it was without the volcano effect.
Of course, a raising scale that reflects the cost of repairs to storm damage would price fossil fuels in real time reflection to the damage inflicted by flooding,drought, winds, hail stones and the list of damages goes on. As the damages mount over time the luxury tax would raise the funds necessary to repairs.
A fossil fuel luxury tax that pays for FEMA weather disaster could pass a voter referendum with the funds available to the area that has passed the luxury tax?
Yes. That's the inference.
How many major volcanoes over how many years would it take.. (sounds like a Dylan song refrain) to bring the average ocean temperature back down to say 1913, when we still had an Arctic.
Pinatubo (1991) was estimated at 20 mT sulfur dioxide while Tambora (1815) released 22mT sulfur dioxide, with a following "Year with no Summer" in 1816, so that should tell us that increased CO2 is masking the full effect of volcanoes.
The Toba super-eruption in Sumatra was thought to cause immediate loss of life from ash over continents, followed by a global winter that lasted about 10 years, and possibly accelerated a Pleistocene ice expansion.
I think that leads to the real point. Abrupt reversal of CO2 driven warming by volcanic eruptions would be of such a magnitude that the direct destruction from the volcanoes would be at a nearly unimaginable scale.
Metaphorically, we have no brakes to use. We must take our feet off the accelerators, downshift, and steer very very carefully.
And because people decide to rebuild in the same locations there is infrastructure needed and hence the need for a fossil fuel luxury tax.
The climate sensitivity is becoming a less important point as the ice and snow cover decrease in the northern and arctic regions.
Albedo changes alone can double the radiative forcings very quickly. Weather and ecological changes will be dramatic.
And weather will be much different because of altert sea currents, different winds based on the new evaporation patterns and on top of this weather is more persistent, because of the new Jet Stream mode.
Yep, as the temperature differential between the tropics and the North Atlantic gets larger, things should get very interesting.
Today we had a tornado that some said was two miles wide but others said only one mile wide, and it had winds of 200 mph. It stayed on the ground for 20 miles. I don't want "interesting" if it hurts people. In the short term we don't have any say in the matter.
Humid air and the Jet Stream help to fuel more intense thunderstorms/tornadoes
Needed signatures on a plan to add a penny per gallon of gas to pay for disaster relief. With the size of storms maybe it will need to rise to a nickel per gallon of gas.
I like Joe's common-sense statement:
"If, as many climatologists believe, some of that ocean heat is released to the surface in the next decade or two, that would reverse the recent slowdown in the rate of surface warming."? but would like to see references to oceanographers/climatologists who concur.
While there may be some uncertainty on timing, the "what goes up/in must come down/out" must hold true for OHC.

Zana loves to pose on rocks.
Testing the zoom on my little camera.... nothing to write home about. But still better than my last camera :)
Ascending the hill, you can look down on the main trail. It used to be a 2-track.
Kiche leads the way up. It looked like there had been a controlled burn and then they knocked down the dead trees. I heard they do this because the Ponderosa pines need a little elbow room to stay healthy.
An aspen glows amid the pines.
That's Kirby's ridge up there. Kirby was one fine Border Collie, and a beloved member of my family. He lived to be 17. When he passed, we grieved for months. We scattered his ashes and made a small memorial to him behind a bush on the Timber Peak trail, which follows that ridge line. He loved it up there, would jump around in the car whenever we made the turn down Water Canyon road.
Same view as before, after the rain started.
Got kind of chilly and i forgot to pack a rain poncho.
We found an abandoned mine shaft to take shelter from the rain. Kiche didn't like it in there, she went out and laid on the trail instead.
As the rain drifted east, we followed it down the trail, and were treated to this on the way back.
Heading back to the car. This is the portion of the trail which used to be a road (shown in an earlier shot from higher up).
A nice double!...
Oh! Oh! What does it mean? :D

Full House
ABC (ended 1995)
Full House ran for eight seasons and was one of the few primetime sitcoms to have more than 190 episodes.
Early in its run, Full House received awful reviews for being too "cheesy," but it still became a popular favorite with audiences, even as the reviews remained negative throughout its run. Set in San Francisco, this is a show about a very loving family headed by Danny Tanner, who became a single father when his wife, Pam Tanner, was killed in a car accident. Pam's brother Jesse, and Danny's best friend Joey Gladstone moved into the house to help Danny raise his three daughters D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. Although Full House ended in 1995, with syndication, kids are still growing up with the Tanners just like millions did when the show first started.

The Flintstones
ABC (ended 2001)
The Flintstones was a parody on modern suburban life, set in the Stone Age. The characters in the cartoon series
all behaved and spoke in a contemporary manner, though they lived in the prehistoric city of Bedrock. Fred worked as operator of a dinosaur-powered crane at Rock Hard & Quarry Cave Construction Co. (slogan: "Own Your Own Cave and Be Secure"). Around their split-level cave the Flintstones enjoyed such conveniences as Wilma's Stoneway piano, a hi-fi on which Fred could play his "rock" music (it consisted of a turntable and a bird with a long beak to serve as a needle), a vacuum cleaner (a baby elephant with a long trunk), and an automatic garbage disposal unit (a famished buzzard stashed under the sink). Their car, which sported tail fins, also came equipped with steamroller wheels--to smooth out the rocky road. Then one day in 1963 they were blessed with a baby daughter, whom they named Pebbles. Not to be outdone, their neighbors the Rubbles adopted an orphan boy named Bamm Bamm. (The two kids later had a Saturday morning cartoon series of their own, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm.) The Flintstones was always as much adult satire as children's fun. In many respects it resembled Jackie Gleason's popular Honeymooners, especially in the relationships of the principals. A wide range of caricatures passed through the stories: Lollobrickida, a pretty cook; Ann-Margrock, whose voice was supplied by Ann-Margret; attorney Perry Masonry (he never lost a case); Ed Sullystone, a TV host; Eppy Brianstone, a teenage impresario; and Weirdly and Creepella Gruesome, the strange couple who with their son Goblin moved into a cave nearby (this was a parody on The Addams Family and The Munsters, then popular). The Gruesomes thought that they were normal, and everyone else in Bedrock was odd. The Flintstones and its spin-offs had a highly successful run on Saturday mornings--on NBC from January 1967-September 1970, on CBS from September 1972-January 1974, back on NBC from February 1979-September 1984, and on ABC with The Flintstone Kids from September 1986-September 1989. This series has also many movies and specials (about 10 specials). Some of them are:"A Flintstones Christmas Carol", a flintstones version of the famous Charles Dickens book, "A Flintstones Christmas" where Fred replaces Santa Claus (Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are speaking now), "I Yabba Dabba Do" where Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are grown up and get married, and "Holly-Rock-a-bye Baby" where Pebbles gives birth.

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
ABC (ended 1991)
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was a charming animated series that captured both kids and their parents with
all-new outings featuring Pooh and the whole gang in the 100 Acre Wood. The world-famous bear, created by British author, A.A. Milne. He is joined by his young master, Christopher Robin. The ever-bouncy Tigger. The glum donkey, Eeyore. The incurable know-it-all, Rabbit. The always-confused Owl. The squeaky Piglet and the mother and son team of Kanga and Roo. Featuring quality animation along with original songs and scores, this series preserves the touching emotional qualities and "not just for kids" humor of the original Winnie the Pooh books.
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
was part of what many consider Disney's "Golden Age," meaning the studio had quality writers, characters, theme songs, etc. Some other shows during this time were
Gummi Bears
, and
Darkwing Duck
Characters Winnie the Pooh: Winnie the Pooh is the fun-loving bear. He is very caring and concerned about all of his friends. Pooh is friends with everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods. Some of his very good companions are Christopher Robin and Piglet. Pooh also loves honey. Piglet: Piglet is the small Piglet with big hopes. He believes that even though he isn't very big, he can do what his friends do. When they all go on adventures, Piglet is a little frightened, but he goes anyway because he is a such a good friend and will try to overcome his fears. Rabbit: Rabbit can be a bit serious sometimes. He loves to plant gardens that are always eaten by some crows and accidentally bounced on by Tigger. Rabbit builds scarecrows to get rid of the crows, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. He can give some good advice to his friends. Eeyore: Eeyore is the slow-moving donkey. He tries over and over to build his houses, but someone may bounce or fall on it. Other times the wind blows it down or the weather. He always has his friends to help him rebuild it though. Eeyore also has a tail that is pinned on that happens to fall off occasionally. Tigger: Tigger loves to bounce, he tries to bounce higher each time. His bouncing can break things if it gets a big wild. One of his good friends is Roo, he taught him about bouncing and its fun. Kanga: Kanga is Roo's mother. She is very nice to everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods. Kanga is always helping others, or offering some snacks that she may have baked. Roo: Roo's mother is Kanga. He likes to bounce like Tigger. When his friends come around, he usually comes along with them. He was very happy when he moved to the Hundred Acre Woods. One of his best friends is Tigger. Christopher Robin: Christopher Robin is a very nice, young boy. He likes taking his friends on adventures. When they may have a problem with something, he usually figures it out or helps them. He is very good friends with Pooh. Theme Song

ABC (ended 1991)
For more than a decade, it looked as if this would be the final weekly Scooby Doo series. Following the
unsuccessful run of
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo
, the creators went back to the drawing board and turned the original "Mystery Inc." characters into small children, who now worked under the title of "The Scooby Doo Detective Agency." Gone were the days of a pup named Scrappy-Doo, this series ushered in the age of a pup named Scooby-Doo! Although they would have been this age in the '50s or '60s, the kids were far more like kids of the '80s, with computers, skateboards, and gadgets that were popularized far later. As in the original series, the villains of this series were always bad guys in rubber masks, a concept that they had gotten away from when Scrappy entered the show and the ghosts became real. More cartoonish than the rest of the shows, the characters seemed to nod back to the old Warner Bros. cartoons -- complete with bugging eyes, gaping jaws, and a myriad of hijinks and sound effects that were unlike previous Scooby-Doo entries. One of the biggest running gags dealt with Freddy's nemesis, Red Herring, who was always accused of committing the crime, though he was never the perpetrator (except once). Other gags included Velma's catch-phrase "Jinkies" -- every time she uttered that phrase, it meant she had found a clue. Daphne became far more of a spoiled brat, whose butler, Jenkins, would come to her rescue anytime she called (which was often). Every episode had a chase scene that was underscored with a new song (much like the second season of
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
, during which time the stars would usually stop for a moment to dance. And episodes always wrapped with someone saying the villain would've gotten away with it if it weren't for "You lousy kids and a Pup Named Scooby-Doo!" It also started Freddie's phrase, "Let's split up gang". The show played for a few years on ABC's Saturday morning schedule and then vanished without a trace until it surfaced several years later on Cartoon Network, where it's had a home ever since.
Theme Song Lyrics:
(Scooby-Dooby, Scooby-Dooby-Doo! Scooby-Dooby, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!) There's a mystery in town, So call the coolest pup around, Call Scooby, A pup named Scooby-Doo! (Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!) Join Shaggy, and the crew, Daphne, Freddie, Velma too! And Scooby! A pup named Scooby-Doo! (Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!) When the ghostly ghoul attacks, Scooby eats a Scooby Snack! Scooby-Dooby-Doo! (Jinkies!) (Scooby-Dooby, Scooby-Dooby-Doo! Scooby-Dooby, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!) So come on, it's mystery time, You can help us solve the crime, With Scooby, a pup named Scooby, Scooby, a pup named Scooby-Doo! (Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!) Scooby-Doo, where are you? Scooby-Doo!

The Jetsons
ABC (ended 1987)
With the success of
The Flintstones
, the modern Stone Age family, Hanna-Barbera decided to make a similar family cartoon, but
set in their vision of the Space Age in the 21st century. This new series that debuted September 23, 1962 became
The Jetsons
. Set mainly in sky-high
Orbit City
, the show featured the family of
George Jetson, Jane
, his wife, their daughter
, and son
living the average life in the future with flying space cars, instant transport tubes, and various robots and gadgets than can get their work done for them in a matter of seconds.
brought in the family income by working at
Spacely Space Sprockets
, run by his stocky, ill-tempered boss
Cosmo Spacely
, who's usually quick to fire George for any reason he could find. But somehow, he always managed to get his job back and continue supporting his family. He works as an indexer and is teamed with his helpful computer
Other than the threats of firing by Spacely, George would also have to worry about any schemes carried out by Mr. Spacely's top business rival
W.C. Cogswell
, owner and president of
Cogswell Cogs
. If there's a dispute between the two businessmen, it's almost certain George would wind up in the middle of it. Most times, though, things always worked out in the end.
is the housewife who tends to the home, but loves to shop for the latest fashions and various items that can be a help to the family, like new gadgets that can help them in new ways. She's assisted by the family's robot maid
(which can also be spelled
). She's one of the older-fashioned models compared to most of the advanced robot maids of the future, but the Jetsons love her and regard her as a member of the family.
is the Jetsons' teenage daughter who attends Orbit High School and goes for the latest teen fashions, trends, and music, and seems to have a different boyfriend in most episodes. If she's lucky, she can even wind up dating a celebrity, like her favorite rock star
Jet Screamer
, much to her father's chagrin.
is the Jetsons' genius son who attends Little Dipper Elementary School and is a straight-A student. He's a part-time inventor and can make new creations in hope to make a better future, and if fortunate, a little money on the side. But most times, he likes to be an average boy by playing various sports, and with his faithful companion, the family's dog
, who at times is overly affectionate, and can annoy George at times. But like Rosey, he's regarded as a member of the family.
The Jetsons reside at the
Skypad Apartments
, which are properly cared for by superintendant
Henry Orbit
, who like Elroy is a mechanical genius. At times, he can invent gadgets that can help him with his maintenance work. His greatest accomplishment is his robot assistant
, who can get his work at the Skypad Apartments done in half the time. But he does have feelings for Rosey as the two are occasionally seen as a couple, but are mainly friends.
Other recurring characters in this series include Mr. Spacely's family, particularly his wife
(sometimes called
, likely her nickname), one of few people who can actually put a scare in him if he rubs her the wrong way. And they have a young son close to Elroy's age named

, an underling robot who at times is a stool pigeon for Mr. Spacely to George's dismay, as well as Spacely's secretary
Miss Galaxy
. Cogswell also had a few subordinates of his own. Among them were his assistant
and his scientist
The Jetsons
ran for only one season on ABC, but the series was more successful in syndication. This led to a revival in 1985 with new episodes with more advanced animation that was richer in color and made the series even more futuristic than the 1960's version of the 21st century. New characters were introduced as well, including a new alien gremlin pet for the Jetsons, named
, who has springlike legs and suction cup feet, enabling him to hang upside down. He could also tinker with machines and change color in accordance to emotion. Another new animal for the revival was a robot dog for Cogwell named
, who served as a guard dog and a spy often used against Mr. Spacely in efforts to beat him to the punch on his latest projects.
These episodes aired in syndication, which generated the same level of success as the originals when they went in that direction. This led to 10 more episodes to finalize the series in 1987, as well as two TV movies, the music-themed
Rockin' with Judy Jetson
, which was preceded by the epic crossover
The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones
, which brought the Space Age and the Stone Age together as Hanna-Barbera's most famous families had a grand adventure spanning two eras.
The Jetsons
had its true finale when
Jetsons: The Movie
hit the theaters in 1990, as this would be among the last voice work for actors George O'Hanlon (George Jetson) and Mel Blanc (Mr. Spacely) for they both had died just prior to the movie's release.
The Jetsons
may not have had the supreme popularity of
The Flintstones
, but it did have a wide appeal for families of any generation and certainly had a place in the heart for those who would turn on and watch the series.
The Jetsons
, like many Hanna-Barbera series, can be seen on
Boomerang from Cartoon Network
. Check your local listings. And the majority of the series can be seen on DVD, so it would be a good means to build your cartoon collection.

"Muppets Tonight!" was a short lived new version of the classic 'The Muppet Show', that hoped to appeal to a
new generation. This series continued with several traditions that the original series did. Each episode revolved around a celebrity guest and there were new Muppet skits throughout the show. New Muppets are introduced throughout the series who would later appear in the newer Muppet films. The show itself gains a new host as Kermit the Frog passes the torch to a new Muppet named Clifford who hosts the show.

Super Friends
ABC (ended 1973)
SuperFriends was an animated series that premiered on ABC on September 8, 1973. The series was executive produced by the
creative team of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The series featured the adventures of DC Comics book heroes Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. These five superheroes along with superheroes in training Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog focused their abilities on putting away criminals, saving lives, and stopping terrible disasters after getting messages from their computer, the "TroubAlert."
Each episode of the SuperFriends was geared to present, not only action, but also some lesson of educational value. In the short run of the series, a number of other famous DC comic book heroes appeared: Plastic Man, The Flash, and Green Arrow.
The last new episode of the series entitled "The Watermen" was broadcast on December 22, 1973. The show continued in reruns until it was taken off the air on August 30, 1974. Two years later, however, the series was rebroadcast from February 7, 1976 to September 3, 1977. In an enduring testament to the popularity of the SuperFriends characters, they were later featured in a number of spin-offs and revivals.
In 1977, the Hanna-Barbera produced sixty-two cartoon featuring the Superfriends. These cartoons were shown on ABC as part of The All-New SuperFriends Hour. Each hour long episode featured four cartoons (one half-hour cartoon and three seven minute shorts). The hour-long show featured adventures of the original fives superheroes from SuperFriends. Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog, however, did not appear. They were replaced by the shape-shifting Wondertwins Zan and Jayna and their space-monkey Gleek. The All-New SuperFriends Hour ran from September 10, 1977 to September 2, 1978 and was replaced in the next season by Challenge of the SuperFriends and SuperFriends (1978).
Challenge of the SuperFriends was one of the most popular incarnations of SuperFriends that featured the Justice League of America against the Legion of Doom. This half-hour series ran for sixteen episodes from September 9, 1978 to September 15, 1979. It was accompanied in its run by SuperFriends (1978) which also presented sixteen half-hour episodes from September 9, 1978 to September 15, 1979. These episodes featured the same characters as The All-New SuperFriends Hour in further adventures.
In 1979, Hanna-Barbera discontinued Challenge of the SuperFriends. Reruns of old SuperFriends episodes were mixed with eight new episodes and were presented under the new title The World's Greatest SuperFriends. The World's Greatest Superfriends was a hour long series that ran from September 22,1 979 to September 27, 1980.
In the 1980's, SuperFriends continued in a number of incarnations. From September 1980 to September 1984, Hanna-Barbara produced sixty-six seven minute shorts (see Superfriends (1980)). Twenty-Four of these shorts were shown in the 1980-1981 season, accompanied by SuperFriend's reruns, under the title The Superfriends Hour. In the 1981-1982 season, sixteen new shorts were presented as a part of the half-hour long Superfriends. These new shorts were, of course, accompanied by reruns. The 1982-1983 season, however, was all reruns. Although Hanna-Barbara produced twenty-four new SuperFriends shorts, ABC decided to show only reruns of the SuperFriends in a thirty minute program entitled The Best of SuperFriends. Most of the unaired shorts (called by some "The Lost Episodes"), however, would later air in syndication.
The 1984-1985 season, new half-hour SuperFriends episodes would return to ABC under the title SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show. SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show was a half-hour sixteen episode cartoon that featured Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and the Teen Titans Firestorm and Cyborg. In the 1985-1986 season, these same characters would appear along with Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Samurai in the half-hour The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. This final incarnation of Hanna-Barbara's SuperFriends offered ten new episodes. On September 30, 1986 with the end of the last episode of The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, Hanna-Barbara's twelve year run of original SuperFriends episodes was over. The SuperFriends, however, would continue to live on in syndication.

. Mr. Belvedere centered around the Owens family who lived in suburban Pittsburgh. George Owens was a sports writer and his wife, Marsha was a homemaker/law-student. They had three children, 16 year old Kevin, 14 year old Heather and 8 year old Wesley.

Sabrina: The Animated Series
ABC (ended 2000)
The show was made in 1999. It is the spin-off to Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, the sitcom. This cartoon was
completely different from the show itself. It featured our main character Sabrina except as a 12 year-old in Jr. High School just developing her powers. Her best friends are Chloe Flan and Harvey Dwight Kinkle. Chloe is the only mortal that knows that Sabrina is a witch, and Harvey is still Sabrina's secret crush. Together they have many adventures. Her rival is Gem Stone, the equivalent of Libby Chessler from the original show, and is incredibly rich. She still has the same aunts: Hilda and Zelda Spellman except they are teenagers, and she has an additional household member, Uncle Quigley. In this show even though Sabrina has her magic, she relies on a Spookie Jar to sometimes to help her cast spells. All of these characters help make the show as great as it was. Unfortunately Sabrina, the Teenage Witch was still greater so the show ended with only one season of 65 episodes. Though it has ended, it still is a great addition in Sabrina history and Viacom productions. However it wasn't the end for Sabrina: the show was slightly brought back in Oct. 2002 as a

Character Profiles
Charlie B. (Burt) Barkin
:(German Shepherd) The main hero of the series. He's lived (well sorta, since he was in Heaven from 1939 til 1996) a very long life, as a gambler, a trickster, and sometimes an all around menace. But when things get tough for him and his friends, he will always pull through and save the day... even if he often annoys them to near insanity. Though it is never mentioned, his birthday is September 13th.
Itchy Itchiford
: (Dachsund) Charlie's longtime, flea-infested sidekick/friend. Shy, but very loyal to his friends.
Sasha LaFleur
: (Irish Setter) A seductive, attractive dog, who owns a cafe known as
"The Flea Bite"
. Charlie's always after her, but Sasha just won't admit her love to him, even though she really does love him deep down inside.
: Sasha's friend who often helps out at the cafe.
: (Whippet) The Archangel of Canine Heaven. She keeps a close watch on Charlie and tries to keep him out of trouble. Though she acts as a friend (and also somewhat of an overprotective mother!) to him, there is questioning from the first movie, as to whether or not she is in love with him.
: Itchy's girlfriend, who he once saved from getting run over. Bess is a very talented pooch, who's won many awards.
Carface Caruthers
: (Pit Bull) A mean and greedy dog, who's had it out for Charlie since 1939, when he almost killed (well, technically he did) him with an old car, running him off a dock. Now, he is still up to his old tricks and is often being a big pain to Charlie and co.
: (Mixed) Carface's longtime sidekick, who's very loyal to him. He's somewhat of a technical wizard and loves building things.
: (Whippet)
(Didn't appear until Second Season)
Though Belladonna is actually Anabelle's cousin, they act like twin sisters... with Belladonna being the traditional Evil one. She is, in almost every way possible, the exact opposite of Anabelle, wanting nothing more than utter destruction. She often tries to trick Charlie into joining her, and almost succeeds, but luckily, Charlie's will was too strong for her to control when his friends became involved.

Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo
Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo is the 1979 update of the classic Scooby-Doo character. This was the fourth Scooby-Doo cartoon to date
and introduced the world to Scrappy-Doo, Scooby's puppy nephew. Despite being related, Scrappy-Doo was not much like his uncle, Scooby. Situations that would normally cause Scooby-Doo to react in frozen terror would result in Scrappy-Doo putting up his paws and shouting "Lemme at 'em! I'll splat 'em!". Due to his small size and hot temper, Scrappy-Doo would often be in physical danger, forcing Scooby-Doo and Shaggy to reluctantly save him. Scooby, Scrappy, and the rest of Mystery, Inc. were still out solving mysteries. In this series they encounter some truly out-of-this-world characters including the UFO Weirdo, Aztec Acapulco Sea Creature, Sky Skeleton, Devil Bear, and Snake Demon of Haiti. Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo ran for one exciting season in 1979 and had Scooby-Doo fans young and old talking about "Puppy Power!"

She often uses metaphysical metaphors as words of wisdom to her friends. She may seem like she's happy all the time, but you won't like her when she's angry. •
: This plump puppy has the biggest appetite of all the pups. Food is his biggest desire, and he more often thinks with his stomach instead of his brain. Still, he's Lucky's best friend, and among the four main pups, he has the best sense of smell and a lot of knowledge when it comes to the quality of dog food. •
: Spot is just a chicken with a poorly-built body. She has always longed to be a dalmatian puppy. She always hangs out with the pups to have fun. Whenever the pups go on an adventure, she's usually there with them. She'll worry about just about anything (especially trouble). •

Hi, we are planning on getting married in CR, probably in November of 2013. I am looking at the Sueno del Mar. I see a lot of great reviews from prior to 2010, but no recent ones. Anyone have any info? Reviews of the resort remain great, but I am curious about their wedding packages/planning.
Also, if there are any recommendations for other resorts/hotels/B&Bs that would host a wedding and small reception (probably about 25 people) I'd appreciate the info! Thank you!

Minneapolis named 6th most creative city in the nation
Minneapolis is the 6th most creative city in the nation, according to the Creative Vitality Index's recently released 2013 report.
SEE ALSO: Top 10 museums in the Twin Cities
The CVI measures data relating to the economic shape of creative industries like design, theater, music, and media. The final CVI score is based mostly on community participation in the arts, and on the occupational employment in the creative sector.
New this year, the CVI broke up creativity scores by zip code, yielding per-capita statistic in creative employment. As expected, downtown neighborhoods dominated in artistic occupation, boosting the city average of 5% total employment within the artistic sector.
Minneapolis can't takeall the credit, as it holds only 21% of Minnesota's total creative workforce. The arts seem to be appreciated state-wide, with other hubs in St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. Duluth holds up for northern Minnesota, ranking 35th nationally on the CVI report.
Former member of the Arts Commission and local artist Leann Johnson has high hopes to keep improving the creative climate in Minneapolis.
"I know we are ranked above a lot of Midwestern cities, but we could definitely be higher on the list," Johnson said. "Minneapolis has the potential to create a better environment for people who aren't necessarily artists."

Rear Adm. Jan Tighe currently serves as the Navy Cyber Command's deputy commander.
With Vice Adm. Mike Rogers named to head up the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/10th Fleet received word Feb. 14 of who, if confirmed, will take his place at the helm.
Navy Rear Adm. Jan Tighe, currently serving as the Navy Cyber Command's deputy commander, was nominated by President Barack Obama to step up into the commander role. She faces Senate confirmation before formally assuming leadership.
Tighe would be the first woman to command both Fleet Cyber Command and the 10th Fleet, the latter being the numbered fleet for the Navy's cyber component.
Fleet Cyber Command was established in January 2010 as the service's subcomponent to U.S. Cyber Command. The 10th Fleet originally was launched in May 1943 for anti-submarine warfare in the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II, targeting German U-boats. After being deactivated at the end of the war, it was reactivated in 2010 with the launch of Fleet Cyber Command.
Tighe has served as deputy commander since November 2013. Prior to that, she was the director of decision superiority on the Chief of Naval Operations staff in July 2011, after serving as the deputy director of Operations for U.S. Cyber Command. From November 2012 until October 2013, she additionally served as interim president of the Naval Postgraduate School, according to her Navy bio.
