Starflight on the Megadrive.Back when it came out I played it for weeks and weeks and got to what turned out to be the very end of the game , but couldn't work out what to do and had to return to to my mate .
Well it WAS his copy!
I have my own one now so hopefully have the free time to finish it.

First Samurai on the C64, known about it for years but only really just started to play it. Very large game and a lot of fun - sort of a martial arts version of Turrican.

Not so much to complete a game, but to get a respectable score on Missile Command.
As much as I love the game I am absolutely terrible at it & seeing World Record holder Tony Temple play the game at R3Play has really inspired me to learn how to play it properly.

Any. I've got so many to start/finish, that I'll be retired or buried before I do

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX because I bought it ages ago, played it for an hour, then put it back in my gaming cupboard never to be touched again. I feel ashamed every time I open that cupboard & see that box looking back at me.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's just the game I always wish I'd finished, but have never seemed to get very far into. Partly through time constraints, and partly through my own badness at the game. Have always been jealous of those who talk about the later levels, I want to be part of that crowd.

Final Fantasy VII. I played through to the big battle with Proud Clod (about 40 hours of play!) back in '97 but hadn't levelled up enough so couldn't beat him. 2 years later I started from scratch and played about 30-odd hours only for a mishap with a memory card to scupper me again. FFVII is in my top 5 games of all time but I still haven't seen the end. I can't let it get to 15 years without completing the game so 2011 has to be the year!

Douro Imaginary Museum (MIDU)
The building is from the 19th century. Before 1881, the Tabuaço benefactors Bernardino de Sena de Macedo Pinto, José and Joaquim Ferreira de Macedo Pinto suggested to the government the creation of a primary school to be called "Macedo Pinto", for boys only, and a specific subject on agriculture. Its initial purpose was, therefore, educational.
In the late 1890s, the school closed for lack of students and reopened in the 20th century. At that time, the library contained about 3 000 books. In mid 20th century, the building served only as a library, and the remaining facilities were used for other educational activities, such as back-to-school education, the school board, etc.
In 2004, construction works began to convert the building into the Douro Imaginary Museum (MIDU), which is part of the Douro Museum Nucleus. The Imaginary Museum opened in January 2009 and represents the first of the eleven museums which the Douro Museum hopes to establish in the Douro Demarcated Region. Its opening exhibition was entitled "Perspectives on Alpajares", the tale on the construction of the Alpajares or Devil road in the municipality of Freixo de Espada à Cinta.
In essence, the MIDU aims to share and preserve all the expressions of the typical Douro imaginary, both inherited immaterial heritage (legends, traditions, songs, romances, etc.), and the new generations' utopia and imagination. Its connection to references of legends and traditions aims to expand the Museum's activity to the Douro region through itineraries for visits and remembrances.

For Ask.com, what is old is new again.
Starting Tuesday, the search site that refuses to die is re-reinventing itself as a question-answering service. This time Ask.com is adding a Web 2.0 twist on its origins as a site that promised to understand what you were asking and provide the one right answer.
Ask.com rose to dizzying heights in the original dot-com boom when it was known as Ask Jeeves. Its stock rose to more than $300 a share a few months after its 1999 IPO, before quickly plummeting in the inevitable crash to less than a dollar – risking being delisted from NASDAQ. Seeing the rise of Google, the company ditched its editor-powered results for a smart alogrithm and introduced a bevy of innovations later copied by its bigger rivals, including Google.
With those innovations, Ask.com rebounded a bit, retaining a distant fourth place in search. That isn't a bad place to be – given the company still ranks in the top 10 of internet properties, above eBay and Amazon in terms of monthly visitors.
But now question-centric services are hot again, including the long-running Yahoo Answers, the hot new start-up Q&A site Quora, the Google-purchased Aardvark, the test-message-focused Cha Cha and Facebook's rumored social network–based question-answering service.
In short, Ask.com realized that fortune had miraculously returned the company to the catbird seat.
The company's formerly unavoidable commercials – featuring an animated version of P.G. Wodehouse's famous valet Jeeves – turned out to be so enduringly persuasive, that despite the company's retirement of the mascot years ago, people still think of Ask.com as the place online to get questions answered.
Oddly, that held despite the fact that the hundreds of young liberal arts graduates the site originally relied on to build an answer database had long since been laid off.
"When you ask people what site to use for asking questions, we are No. 1," Ask.com President Doug Leeds said in a phone interview. "We have had more questions in one day than Quora has in its lifetime."
The revamped Ask.com now uses algorithms to answer questions, returning an answer as the top result, without requiring a click-through. Traditional style search results are also returned beneath the "answer."
And now, as a backstop, the site is offering a way to ask a question of a community of volunteer Ask users who answer questions in minutes – which are fed back to the searcher through e-mail and mobile apps. Ask.com volunteers are only sent questions relevant to subjects they say they are interested in, and answers are added to the index of known answers, so that volunteers aren't asked to repeat their answers again.
It's a lesson learned from Wikipedia and similar sites – people are willing to share information when it comes to something they are expert in.
"We found that if you ask people questions they have some knowledge about and the answers aren't Google-able, you get to the sweet spot," Leeds said.
"If were to get a question about what geocaching (Leeds' secret hobby) is \, I'm not going to answer that question," Leeds said. "Go Google it.
"But if you ask me what's the best GPS unit to use in a rural environment or an urban one, I have an opinion to share," Leeds said. "Let's take this great knowledge and let it be reused until it gets stale."
Leeds said the site is using semantic technology to keep users from answering basic questions, such as "Who does Kobe Bryant play for?" while routing real questions that can't be answered using a search engine. So a question such as "Will Kobe Bryant be able to build a dynasty?" goes to registered Ask.com users who have said they are Laker fans.
In a test of the site today, I asked, "Does aid to developing countries promote dependency?" Within minutes, there were two, paragraph-long answers, including one that mentioned a recent Wall Street Journal story on the topic.
Ask is trying to avoid the pitfalls of Yahoo Answers, which has users competing to get on the user board, thanks to a point system, according to Leeds. At this point, Ask.com community members aren't paid or rewarded, though some ceremonial "badges" a la FourSquare may appear in the future.
Leeds says the new direction has re-energized the company, which was purchased by media-and-technology giant IAC in 2005 for $1.5 billion.
"We sort of lost our way," Leeds said, referring to its attempts to chip away at Google's 70 percent search share. "People were saying 'Please help me answer my question. If I wanted links, I would go to Google.'" He added that Ask.com users ask, proportionately, five times as many questions as they do of Google.
Other examples Leeds pointed to were questions such as "Is it possible to raise a disciplined child by never yelling?" and "What can I do in Homer, Alaska? I don't want to go fishing." The latter question refers to one of the best fishing spots in the world, making it very difficult to find any information not about fishing through a typical search. But an Ask.com community member suggested a number of other possibilities, including a boat trip to a remote island where one can see bears in the wild.
The Ask Q&A community – and the ability to direct questions to it, remains in beta. You can request an invite, or be invited by a current member. Over the coming weeks and months, more and more Ask.com searchers will be able to direct questions to the community to increase the number of answers.
Beta aside, Ask.com users, and even Google users, will start to see answers in their search results (even if Google gets the Ask.com answer to this query better than Ask.com does).
It's a great strategy – perhaps the best that Ask.com has ever come up with, and it's a testament to the company's unwillingness to say die, when nearly everyone in the tech community wrote them off for dead.
Disclosure: I worked for Ask.com as a Q&A editor for less than a year, post-IPO in 1999 and 2000. I never made any money on its stock and no longer hold any stock in it, or any of its competitors.

Michele Margaret Timms  (born 28 June 1965) is an Australian basketball coach and retired professional basketball player who played for the Phoenix Mercury in the Women's National Basketball Association(WNBA). Many people consider the Melbourne native to be one of Australia's greatest basketball players of all time. She has one daughter, Kalsie Timms. Timms was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008. She was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2016.

WNBL career
Timms played for four clubs in her WNBL career: Bulleen, Nunawading, Perth and Sydney. In 2005, Timms was honoured by the WNBL with the creation of the Michele Timms Cup. The cup is presented to the winner of the Bulleen Boomers-Dandenong Rangers derbies.

WNBA career
At the onset of the WNBA in 1997, she went to the Phoenix Mercury, for whom she played in the finals in 1998, losing to the Houston Comets. Timms came within inches of giving the Mercury their first title that year; with the Mercury up 1-0 and needing only one more win for the championship, and Game Two tied at 66 with three seconds to go, Timms took a three-point shot that bounced off the rim's back. Ultimately, the Comets won that game 74–69 in overtime, and then the championship in Game Three. In 2001, Timms announced her retirement and almost immediately joined the Mercury's television broadcasting crew, a job which she held only for that season. She averaged 4.6 points and 4.0 assists per game with the Mercury; her highest scoring average in one season being 12.1 points per game in 1997. On 7 August 2002, her number 7 jersey became the first to be retired by the Phoenix Mercury, and only the second jersey ever retired by the WNBA. Upon her retirement, she was the Mercury's career leader in assists.

In February 2005, the Phoenix Mercury announced that she had been signed as an assistant coach under fellow Australian and Mercury head coach Carrie Graf.

Timms played a very influential role in opening the flood gate for many of the future international women's players, especially Australian women basketball stars.

International career
Timms began her professional basketball career in 1984 in Australia. In 1989, she became the first Australian (male or female) to play professional basketball internationally when she went to Germany to play with the Lotus München team. While there, she got a chance to play alongside Marlies Askamp, who would later also play with her on the Mercury. While there, she was named the Women's International Player of The Year in 1994 and 1996. She was selected to the WNBL All team 7 times (1988–92, 1994, 1996)

Also in 1996, at her second Summer Olympics, she helped the Australian national women's basketball team earn their first Olympic medal, a bronze at the Atlanta competition. Four years later Timms was on the squad that captured the silver medal in front of their own crowd.

Coaching career
She worked as the basketball development officer/ assistant coach for the South Dragons in the Australian National Basketball League. During her time with the Dragons, she impressed many of the club's staff and players with her sound knowledge of the game and excellent coaching skills. She left the club on 9 January 2008 and during the middle of the Dragons' season, to fulfill her career ambitions by moving to the United States.

She was an assistant coach with China women's national basketball team, reuniting her with her former Opals coach Tom Maher.

In 2009 Timms was appointed as an assistant coach of the Jayco Australian Opals, the Australia women's national basketball team. She was also appointed an assistant coach of the Global Metals Bulleen Boomers in the Women's National Basketball League.
After the 2012 Olympics where Timms was Assistant Coach to the Australian Women's Team, Timms took the Assistant Coaching roll of the next Olympic Cycle with China 2013–2016.  After the 2016 Olympics Timms stayed on with the Chinese Women's Basketball Team unit 2018.

Timms worked with Beijing WCBA Team in 2017-2018 Season as Assistant Coach with Sylvia Fowles as their Import. The team won the WCBA Championship.

April 2018 Timms heads back to Australia to establish her own Company "Michele Timms Elite Sports Coaching" and under this umbrella starts the Michele Timms Basketball Academy.

Honours
Timms was named the Women's International Player of The Year in 1994 and 1996. She received an Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2008 Timms was elected to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee.

On 17 August 2016 Timms was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame.

Timms was made a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2018 Australia Day Honours "For significant service to basketball as a competitor at the national and international level, as an Olympic athlete, and as a mentor for women in sport."

<img src="/sites/datacenterknowledge.com/files/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hp-butterlfy-top.jpg" width="470" height="313" /> HP today introducing the HP Flexible Data Center,which features factory-build modules that support quick deployment and phased infrastructure growth. The offering features a "butterfly" design with four modules around a central core.
A view of the design concept for the new HP Flexible Data Center, featuring a central networking core, four server room modules, and power and cooling infrastructure housed at the perimeter of the facility.
HP today joined the growing crowd of companies offering modular data center systems, introducing the HP Flexible Data Center, which features factory-built modules that support quick deployment and phased growth of enterprise data center infrastructure. HP says the new approach will be faster and cheaper than new ground-up "greenfield" construction.
The HP Flexible DC features a "butterfly" design with a center core module for networking and security, surrounded by four server rooms (IT modules). Cooling equipment attaches to the rear of each data center module, while generators and power conditioning units are housed next to the facility. Each IT module supports 800 kilowatts of IT load, providing a total capacity of 3.2 megawatts for a four-module butterfly configuration.
"Clients, such as financial service providers, government entities, and cloud and colocation hosts, will find the scalable and modular nature of HP Flexible DC a compelling option," said Kfir Godrich, chief technology officer, Technology Services, HP. "HP can help clients innovate the way they build and operate a greenfield data center for greater savings over its life span."
The "flex" reflects the range of customer options, which includes the choice of four different cooling technologies and five different UPS configurations, featuring both flywheel and battery-based UPSes. HP Flexible DC is optimized for a chiller-less air cooling design, using a slab (rather than a raised floor) and hot-aisle containment to isolate the hot and cold air within the server area.
HP says its most energy-optimized design can result in a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.18, comparable to the lowest efficiency ratings seen at the largest facilities.
Modular data center designs are gaining traction based on their ability to provide predictable, repeatable components for IT and power systems. A growing number of companies are developing modular systems that are built in a factory, transported via container or truck, and then pieced together. This approach can dramatically shorten the construction process at the project site.
While touting the operating gains from lower energy costs, HP is also making a strong pitch for the modular, pre-fab design's potential to deliver huge up-front savings in the initial construction of a data center. HP says it can build a 3.2 megawatt butterfly data center design for $26 million, or about $8.1 million a megawatt. HP compares this to a next-generation greenfield build, which it says would cost $58 million, or more than $18 million per megawatt.
Companies like Yahoo and QTS have cited figures of $5 million to $9 million per megawatt for next-generation data centers, but primarily for facilities optimized around focused workloads like search. Enterprise data center projects have commonly cited construction costs of between $10 million and $15 million a megawatt, with some project costs ranging as high as $20 million per megawatt.
"The pressure to save on capital and operating expenditures is one of the most critical issues facing enterprises today," said David Cappuccio, vice president and chief of research, Gartner. "When building new data centers, clients need to consider options that support business growth, while also saving time and costs."
HP said the modular approach allowed companies to consolidate data centers while segregating IT assets by group, security level, or workloads (such as software development, production, or disaster recovery) which might require different types of access control or reliability.
The focus on free cooling means the Flexible DC will be more efficient in some geographies. "FlexDC is more effective in locations that have large differences in the dry-bulb and the wet-bulb temperatures, known as the wet-bulb depression," HP writes in its white paper on the new design. "These types of conditions are normally found in arid dry climates. This type of environment coupled with evaporative cooling produces the best results without using much, if any, mechanical refrigeration."
HP says its new design will enable gradual buildouts of large data center footprints over time.

Greg Sinibaldi: Ariel
By PAUL RAUCH
Sylvia Plath's chilling second book of poetry, "Ariel," published posthumously in 1965, revealed evocative free flowing images, and minacious psychic landscapes exuding hope while hovering on the precipice of darkness. With his new release, Ariel, Seattle based saxophonist Greg Sinibaldi explores the inner and outer reaches of Plath's work by convening a trio with guitarist Ryan Ferreira, and drummer Ted Poor, utilizing the EWI (electronic wind instrument). "The pieces aren't necessarily narratives of the poems, but more about the thoughts and feelings I had while encountering the work," explains Sinibaldi.
While I encourage readers to explore the intricacies of the EWI, I will just explain briefly that the instrument is a wind driven synthesizer that is facilitated in the same manner as a woodwind instrument. A Nyle Steiner invention of the '70s, the EWI has had a number of jazz adapters over the years but remains fairly rare. It produces synthesizer sounds that in no way resemble keyboard based synth sounds. "It's a wind-driven synthesizer with a breath sensor that knows air velocity and pressure," Sinibaldi explains. It appears by this recording, to be a fertile sonic environment to deconstruct the dark reaches of Plath's poetry, and explore the seemingly taboo territory of the dark inner reaches of consciousness, striving to overcome troubling thoughts, and look forward with hope. "I think it's just as hopeful," Sinibaldi maintains. "It's often interpreted as being about suicide, but I'm more interested in the imagery of the Phoenix, particularly in the last stanzas. I love the rising from the ashes/ rebirth story and for me that's what 'Lady Lazarus' is all about. It's ultimately about vindication, about the hope and desire to rise above after extreme hurt. There's something inevitable about that hope in this poem."
The pieces are named for the eight individual poems of Plath's collection, "Ariel," yet to summarize here per each poem would not be practical or definitively specific. Sinibaldi takes bits of each selection and interprets those that impacted him most in reading these poems written by Plath just five months before she tragically took her own life. It is this artistic daring, this musical courage that is truly the guiding influence of this album.
Nevertheless, being innovative in terms of concept and experimentation, does not guarantee music that is emotive to its audience, that moves the listener intellectually, and physically as well. Stripping down this project from the Sinibaldi's fascination with the EWI, his use of super collider technology, and the sensory interpretation of Plath's poetic narrative ultimately leaves us with the music itself, and the musicians facilitating it.
The music on Ariel clearly eschews any sort of genre identity, making the narrative the central designation to lead the listener to an understanding of its dreary, dreamy stretches of imaginative mayhem, and small places to land, regroup, and repeat the cycle on a different conscious level. Reading the poetry of Plath, indeed having an intuitive understanding of it, is a near necessity to fully appreciate Sinibaldi's deep intellectual and emotional attachment to her work. In some ways, it reminds us all of times in our conscious lives when we either give in to a dark reality, or rise from the ashes of darkness, in hope of grasping the light.
Ariel strikes a remarkable resemblance to works in other art forms, in particular to Vancouver choreographer Crystal Pite's brilliant ballet piece, "Plot Point." Pite assigns an alter ego to each character in the form of another dancer clad in white, representing the dark side of consciousness encountering a dilemma on the edge of darkness. In the moment, one must make a decision between violent, and nonviolent response to social and conscious interaction, and in an extreme case, between death and precious life.
Guitarist Ferreira moves the trio into a metal like stimulus on "Cut," that exemplifies the extreme edge of personal darkness Plath encountered. His intro on "Elm" exudes an emptiness, and loneliness that is almost too much to bear. Which way the pendulum swings between light and dark is personified by Sinibaldi's peaceful swashes of color and thick, impenetrable light. It is the renewal of hope that Sinibaldi sees in Plath's work, that can be insidiously difficult to fathom.
Aside from the narrative concerning Plath's poetry, and the phenomenon that is Sinibaldi's creative use of the EWI, the most satisfying musical attribute to this recording is the contributions of dynamic drummer Ted Poor. He has a unique ability to shape and rhythmically influence the direction of the music, with a refreshingly organic and original approach. His participation in diverse projects with artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Bill Frisell, Chris Potter and Maria Schneider has given Poor a modern, forward thinking attachment to a wide swath of jazz and improvised music. Sinibaldi could not have made a better choice.
Clearly the narrative of Plath's work led me to a deeper understanding of this recording. Personally, my foray into her work precedes this album by decades, but one has to wonder how many listeners will be enabled as such. This is what required the courage and emotional intensity put forward by the innovative artist that is Sinibaldi. How often one wishes to foray into this abyss of darkness and renewal is the question. It is a difficult, and at times painful listen. Its brilliance is definitive. Perhaps, peering into my own dark conscious and subconscious recesses is what provides this discomfort. Sometimes tearing apart the protections of everyday routine, and mortal being reveals why those organic emotional defenses form. On Ariel, Sinibaldi invites us to walk along the edge of that precipice without caution.

Morrissey is the undisputed champion of saying something nasty in a soft voice. His new album Years of Refusal suffers form his youngish backing band, who all go "look, mum, I am playing with Moz and you said that there was no future in music and I should get a real job". They are too loud and ruin the nuances on the bulk of the tracks. Still, Morrissey puts up a fight and you can hear him despite all the mayhem. But it would have hurt if had slammed the band members heads together and told them a few thing of the art of leaning back.
They can do it on some tracks - the Spanish flavored When Last I Spoke to Carol, popyy tune I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris, and the best track It's Not Your Birthday Anymore, in which Moz explains that "there is no need to be kind to you" and rages about the "syrupee things that we said"". No, he doesn't get softer as he gets older. And nobody want hims too.
Something Is Squeezing My Skull
Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed
Black Cloud
I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
All You Need Is Me
When Last I Spoke to Carol
That's How People Grow Up
One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
You Were Good In Your Time
Sorry Doesn't Help
I'm OK By Myself

Q: What happens when multiple cluster roles are assigned to one service account in kubernetes? I know that you can assign multiple roles to one service account when you want your service account to access multiple namespaces, but what I wonder is how it will behave when you assign to it more than one clusterrole which is cluster scoped. From my perspective, I think that it will choose one of them but I'm not sure.

A:
Permissions are purely additive (there are no "deny" rules).

reference
This is the golden  rule here that we must memorize for kubernetes RBAC roles.
"purely additive" means always ALLOW no revoke.
Hence, "purely additive" means there are neither conflicts nor order of precedence.

*

*It's not like AWS IAM policies where we have DENY and ALLOW .. That's time, we have to know which one has the highest order of precedence.

*It's not like also subnets ACL , where we have DENY and ALLOW .. That's time, we need to assign number for each rule. This number will decide the order of precedence.

Example:
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  # "namespace" omitted since ClusterRoles are not namespaced
  name: pod-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["pods"]
  verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  # "namespace" omitted since ClusterRoles are not namespaced
  name: node-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["nodes"]
  verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
---
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
  name: pod-reader
subjects:
- kind: User
  name: abdennour
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
roleRef:
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: pod-reader
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
---
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
  name: node-reader
subjects:
- kind: User
  name: abdennour
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
roleRef:
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: node-reader
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io

as you can see in this example, the user Abdennour should have at the end the wide read access for both: nodes & pods.

A: If you assign a service account multiple clusterroles using multiple role or clusterrole bindings the service account will have permission which is aggregate of all of those cluster roles meaning all the verbs on all the resources defined in those clusterroles.

After Jurassic World's Indominus Rex-sized opening weekend, it's safe to say giant prehistoric death monsters are back in demand.
Hostel director and Inglorious Bastards star Eli Roth is stepping up to the plate to deliver us a new dinosaur franchise that's been languishing in the depths of production hell since the Hollywood equivalent of the late Cretaceous period.
Roth has signed on to direct Meg, which is based on the Steve Alten sci-fi book series and has been in development since 1997, according to Variety.
In the novel, an ancient, 60-foot-long shark called a Megaladon – which makes Jaws look like a chihuahua – emerges from the deep sea to terrorize the California coast.
However, the film version will see the prehistoric killing machine wreaking havoc on China's seas rather than the West Coast, Variety reports.
While the Megaladon was once one of the fiercest predators on the planet, the giant shark is now very much extinct – despite what you may have seen on Shark Week.
So far there's no word on a release date for the film, but Roth is already diving into his research head-first. The horror director is hosting Discovery Channel s Shark After Dark as well as this summer's Shark Week starting on July 5, where he will be literally swimming with the sharks.
The director has been Tweeting his excitement over his new project, joking with My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos about My Big Fat Prehistoric Shark Movie.
By the sounds of this monster Meg, we're pretty sure he's gonna need a bigger boat.

Buendía es un municipio español de la provincia de Cuenca, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha. Da nombre al condado de Buendía, otorgado a la familia Acuña por el infante don Alfonso en 1465 a favor de Pedro Vázquez de Acuña.

Geografía
La localidad se encuentra en la provincia de Cuenca y linda con la provincia de Guadalajara y se encuentra junto al embalse al que da nombre.

Historia

Los orígenes de Buendía se remontan a tiempos muy lejanos; se tienen noticias de que por aquí anduvieron pueblos primitivos, Olcades, Lusones...

En la Sierra de Enmedio, entre la hoz que forma el río Guadiela y el Tajo, se sitúan los restos de la antigua ciudad de Recopolis del . Esta ciudad fue fundada por el rey visigodo Leovigildo para su hijo Recaredo, apocopada Recaredopolis, conocida como Recópolis. Desde muy antiguo los vecinos de Buendía tenían conocimiento de ella, a pesar de que diferentes historiadores y arqueólogos la situaran en la zona de Zorita (también llamada Recópolis, siendo ambas una sola). (En la Antigüedad, Griegos y romanos, construían ciudades relativamente cercanas con el mismo nombre. A esto se le llama dípolis)

En el , el moro Rasis sitúa la ciudad entre Santaver y Zorita "lugar muy alto". Ambrosio de Morales en su Crónica General de España (1577) ya hacía referencia, "situándola en un lugar llamado Almonacid en la junta de los ríos Tajo y Guadiela, en un sitio de los más altos y fuertes de los que se pueden hallar en España". En el  el padre Gabriel de Henao señalaba el sitio, así como las relaciones topográficas que mandó hacer.Felipe II. En las de Buendía contestadas en 1578 se dice: "Hacía poniente hay unos edificios y Çimientos de cal y canto que por nombre tienen La Ciudad". Igualmente en un mapa, sobre juicios entre Buendía y Huete sobre unos visos de la Sierra de Enmedio, confeccionado sobre las averighuaciones de 1450, está señalada su lugar como La Ciudad Despoblada.Fray Marcos de Salmerón. General de la orden de la Merced. Consejero, confesor y predicador de Felipe IV. Calificador de la Inquisición. Obispo de Trujillo (Perú). Escritor. Nacido en Buendía, en sus "Recuerdos Históricos" dice :"........... cerca está (Buendía), de aquella ciudad que fundó entre dos montes el Rey Leovigildo, a donde se juntan los dos ríos (Tajo y Guadiela) en el fin de la Celtiberia". En 1845, Basilio Sebastían Castellanos, después de ver el terreno en 1845 dice en su libro La Isabela: " las grandes piedras entre las que hay algunos pedazos de mármoles que se ven aún sobre la superficie hacen conocer que fue ciudad de alguna consideración..."; y aún más Fr. Diego de Jesús y María, monje que habitó en el Desierto Carmelitano de Bolarque, en la ribera derecha del Tajo, frente a la Sierra de Enmedio nos dice en la "Historia del Desierto de Bolarque en 1651" : "La sierra opuesta que llaman de Enmedio, jurisdicción de Cuenca y término de Buendía, en la esquina en que remata para dar lugar a la mezcla de los dos ríos, Tajo y Guadiela, publica hoy vestigios de alguna antigualla con cimientos de grandes edificios, piedras labradas y, a la caída del Guadiela, padrastros de puentes ya desenlazados nuestros ojos registran indicios y señalan de alguna arruinada ciudad".

Ya en el  fue estudiado el lugar por el académico de historia Juan Catalina García así como por el arqueólogo Juan Cabré, no viendo nada especial que les hiciera pensar de la existencia de tal ciudad. Es posible que desecharan la idea por lo abrupto del terreno. (En tiempos visigodos el Tajo y el Guadiela iban encajonados también, pero no existía la presa de Bolarque, por lo que a través de un puente romano, hoy bajo las aguas, podían comunicarse)

La casualidad quiso que Emilio Villellas Casalduc, cazador de pro y escritor, oteando el lugar encontró a un lugareño de Buendia (el tío Toyos) y éste le indicó el lugar exacto, cual no sería la sorpresa al ver los restos de muralla, arcos, cimentaciones de casas, calzada, etc. A lo largo de bastantes años ha continuado explorando y desenterrando muros, calzadas, puertas, contabilizando más de 108 casas, y después del lamentable incendio sufrido en julio de 2003, han quedado al descubierto bastantes más restos, así como una plaza de 35 m de diámetro, perfectamente empedrada, formando radios.

En la parte más baja, frente al embarcadero de Nueva Sierra, se encuentra la llanura de la Majana, donde se han encontrado diversos majanos formados por las piedras de la casas, desmanteladas con la invasión árabe, en este paraje estaba situada la zona noble, arriba, encima de la ermita de la Virgen de los Desamparados, la zona militar, cuarteles, etc. Los restos de murallas nos dicen que debieron tener entre 2,5 y 3,5 metros de altura por 4,5 m de ancho.

Buendía, por su ubicación, zona fronteriza de la Marca Media de Al-Ándalus, estuvo sometida a frecuentes incursiones de los ejércitos castellanos, hasta que en 1085 fue conquistada esta zona por el Rey Alfonso VI, a la vez que, al casarse con la princesa Zaida hija del rey de Sevilla, recibió como dote las tierras de Uclés, Huete, Konka (Cuenca). Debido a la entrada de los almorávides y su rápida expansión, se perdieron estos terrenos tras las batallas de Sagrajas, Consuegra y Uclés, perdiendo no solo los territorios de Cuenca sino también los reinos de Toledo y Valencia.

Es en 1171, cuando el 21 de septiembre el rey Alfonso VIII conquista Cuenca y todo su territorio, concediendo fueros y nuevas leyes para su repoblación, mediante los Comunes de Villa y Tierra.

Las tierras al Sur de la Alcarria Baja (terreno alto, raso y de poca hierba) eran administradas por el común de Huete, y que poco a poco fueron adquiriendo la condición de villas, siendo una de ellas Buendia

El primer señor de Buendia y Azañon en 1397 fue Lope Vázquez de Acuña, concedido por Enrique III "El Doliente", casado con Teresa Carrillo de Albornoz, Señora de Paredes, Portilla y Valtablado, sobrina de Gil Álvarez de Albornoz, (Carrillo), nacido en Carrascosa del Campo, Cardenal de Toledo y fundador del colegio español en Bolonia. Su hijo primogénito Pedro Vázquez de Acuña y Carrillo de Albornoz, I conde de Buendía, concedido por el Infante Alfonso, en el tiempo que se sintió rey con el título de Alfonso XII de Castilla (no fue rey oficial); estando en su real, cerca de Arévalo el 9 de junio de 1465 (existe copia del título original).

En 1475, concretamente el 9 de febrero, Los RRCC, concedieron carta de privilegios y confirmaciones para hacer mayorazgo de sus estados a: D. Pedro de Acuña Conde de Buendía y a su mujer D.ª Inés de Herrera

Estuvo rodeada por murallas, de cal y canto, revestida de sillares, y en el Norte una fortaleza del , mandada construir por Pedro de Acuña Albornoz.

Cinco puertas daban acceso al recinto: Puerta Calzada, la del Castillo, camino del Convento (hoy cementerio), Calle Botica y camino de la Isabela (frontón).

En la actualidad tan solo quedan en pie Puerta Nueva, la del Castillo y la del Convento, así como los restos de los muros Norte y Este de la muralla y paramento Norte del castillo.Sus calle radio-concéntricas, siguen el canon medieval: con Ayuntamiento, Iglesia y Plaza mayor en el centro, del que parten las calles más importantes; el resto formando circunferencias, siguiendo el trazado de sus murallas. Paseando por sus calles, nos encontraremos magníficas rejas,(-), algunas, otras del XVII y posteriores. Igualmente son dignas de observar sus puertas, todavía con gateras, algunas con las iniciales de los propietarios y el año de construcción; llamadores y otros elementos.

En 1578, mediante el cuestionario que mandó confeccionar Felipe II, ya se dice que tenía 900 vecinos (4 o 5 mil habitantes. Tuvo molinos harineros, y de aceite, ganados lanar y vacuno, así como unos baños termales que, al construirse el embalse, quedaron bajo las aguas.

En la actualidad se ha reconstruido una de las puertas que daban acceso al recinto, "La puerta del Sol" que daba acceso a la calle de la botica, de la cual sólo quedaban unos pocos restos; asimismo se está reconstruyendo la llamada "Puerta Calzada".

Administración y política

Monumentos y lugares de interés

 El lugar por excelencia es la "Plaza Mayor-Ayuntamiento-Iglesia", porticada.

 La Iglesia Parroquial de La Asunción de Nuestra Señora con una superficie de 1000 m², de los siglos XV y XVI, totalmente de sillería, con ventanas abocinadas, dos portadas estilo herreriano y una impresionante torre maciza de cuatro cuerpos con zócalo diseñada por Fray Alberto de la Madre de dios en el año 1634.

Consta de tres naves de estilo gótico de Salón o columnaria, con columnas cilíndricas de cerca de doce metros de alto, arrancando el haz de nervios en forma de palmera, Junto a la sacristía tres capillas laterales, más otra en el muro de entrada. El coro es de rejería de madera policromada. De estilo gótico

 El Ayuntamiento se encuentra situado frente a la Iglesia, de dos plantas, porticada la planta baja.

 Uno de los edificios más antiguos es El Pósito o La Tercia, fechado en el , destinado, como su nombre indica, a depósito de grano y lugar donde se pagaba el diezmo o tercia. Es de sillarejo con cornisa moldurada y la puerta de acceso con arco de medio punto abovedado; en la planta alta se conserva el artesonado de madera, sus paredes de mampostería, con ventanas y "troneras". En la actualidad alberga el museo del Carro y la Casa de la Cultura.

 El Museo del Carro está compuesto por piezas donadas y otras compradas por el Ayuntamiento, habiendo sido restauradas por gente del pueblo.

 Otro edificio emblemático y ahora Museo abierto al público es La Antigua Botica La de la Señorita Asunción un Museo donde se muestra todo el botamen, anterior al , copas de loza, botes, utensilios, registros de recetas, farmacopeas, etc.

 Tuvo varios conventos, hospital, etc, quedando tan solo un paredón en el actual cementerio.
 El convento franciscano-alcantarino de Ntra. Sra. del Rosal, fundado en 1596. Se conocen tan solo el nombre de dos maestros canteros Martín de la Vaca y Pedro Muñoz. Con la desamortización de 1835, fue desmantelado al tener tan solo 8 frailes.

 A la entrada del mismo se encuentran las antiguas bodegas. Buendía elaboraba un excelente vino, (22 000 arrobas en el ) "Cerro de la Fuente", así como la fuente donde se recogía el agua. Tuvo antaño cantidad de manantiales, pero bien por la sequía o por las aguas del embalse prácticamente se han secado casi todas.

 Siete fueron las ermitas que tuvo: San Antón, San Benito, San Juan Bautista, San Sebastián que fue patrono de la villa, Santiago, Nuestra Señora del Rosal y Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados. De ellas tan solo queda la de los Desamparados.

 Igualmente tuvo unos muy afamados aguas y barros termales.Posiblemente anteriores a los romanos, pues en una remodelación llevada a cabo a comienzos del , se encontraron monedas De César Augusto y Tiberio, inscripciones y tumbas. Hoy se hallan bajo los cimientos de la presa de Buendía.

 Por su condición de Villa, tuvo enclavada en el camino Real a Cuenca, El rollo o Picota, indicativo de que la misma ejercía las dos funciones, la jurisdiccional y penal.

 La Ruta de las Caras, llamada así por la cantidad de esculturas talladas en roca, algunas de más de cuatro metros, duendecillos, vírgenes, damas, etc. Ideal para practicar senderismo;
 Cañón del Guadiela, (ruta para ir a la ermita de los Desamparados);
 Otro lugar de arraigo y devoción popular es el sitio de la Virgen la ermita de Ntra. Sra. de los Desamparados, a doce kilómetros del pueblo, al final de la hoz del río Guadiela. Fue levantada en los siglos XVI y XVII, en el paraje sierra de Enmedio, a orillas del Guadiela.
Era conocido este lugar como el molino de Bolarque, de origen árabe, siendo durante años motivo de disputa entre los Lara y los Castro. El Rey Alfonso VIII sancionó la propiedad.
Está construida sobre un antiguo y pequeño eremitorio, que albergaba al Cristo del Amparo, ampliándose para instalar a la Virgen de los Desamparados tras su aparición en ese Sitio. Dice la leyenda que muy posiblemente, esta construcción lo fuese por los visigodos, La Virgen de Recapel o Recaupel.... No olvidemos que sobre esta ermita, en roca, se encuentra el yacimiento conocido como "Recópolis de Buendía".
Antiguamente era sitio donde los buendieros iban a pasar algunos días de descanso, existiendo casas de la Hermandad de la Virgen, donde familias enteras se hospedaban; en la actualidad tan solo queda la casa del santero, la fuente, patio y ermita, pues las aguas de Bolarque inundaron toda la vega y chopera.
Es en esta ermita donde la Virgen de los Desamparados permanece ocho meses al año, siendo subida en romería el segundo sábado de mayo, permaneciendo en la Iglesia Parroquial cuatro meses. En septiembre es bajada de nuevo en romería.

Curiosidades

 Hay una leyenda que hace referencia al nombre del pueblo: "En época de reconquista estos territorios hacían de frontera, en una escaramuza entre moros y cristianos, siendo más numerosas las huestes moras, y viendo el capitán cristiano próxima la derrota, se encomendó a la Virgen, como sus tropas estaban maltrechas, les arengó, dándoles ánimo para continuar, al final del día la victoria cayó sobre bando cristiano, y éste, de rodillas, dando gracias a la Virgen, se dirigió a sus soldados diciéndoles "Soldados buen día hemos echado hoy...", desde entonces cambió el nombre de Fuentesaúco a Buendia. No hay nada escrito sobre esto, pero todos los buendieros conocen esta historia. Existe todavía un manantial llamado Fuente del Sauco.
 En la actualidad se ha recuperado, tras 52 años olvidado, "La entrada de Moros y Cristianos", el segundo domingo de mayo, en la procesión, haciendo referencia a la leyenda.

Texas Southern predicted to win SWAC over Prairie View
Texas Southern's men's basketball program has been a consistent figure in the SWAC for years. Can it knock off Prairie View, though?
The Texas Southern men's basketball team was tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the 2020-21 Southwestern Athletic Conference title in the annual preseason poll. The Tigers also had a trio of student-athletes earn preseason honors as Yahuza Rasas and Justin Hopkins were named to the first team while Chris Baldwin received second team honors.
Led by third-year head coach Johnny Jones, TSU returns three starters and nine letter winners from last season's squad which finished 12-6 in the SWAC. The preseason poll and All-SWAC teams were voted upon by league head coaches and sports information directors as it marks the first time since 2017-18 that TSU was predicted to win the conference.

With the loss of All-SWAC guard Tyrik Armstrong and post Eden Ewing, the Tigers will turn to graduate student forward Justin Hopkins, junior forward Yahuza Rasas and senior guard John Jones for leadership as the trio combined for 70 starts last season. Hopkins is the top returning scorer with 10.5 points per game and shot 50 percent from the field while Rasas had a solid inaugural season at TSU as he led the team with 8.2 rebounds and was fourth in scoring with 9.8 points per game en route to second team All-SWAC honors and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District second team honors. Jones averaged 8.7 points per game and once again will be called upon to provide TSU with a deep threat from the outside as he nailed a team-leading 51 three-pointers last season.
Depth won't be an issue early on for the Tigers as they return six players who combined for 22 starts while serving as valuable members of the rotation last season. Junior guard Bryson Etienne is the top returning reserve as he averaged 7.2 points and 2.6 rebounds last season while senior post Chris Baldwin averaged six points, 4.4 rebounds and blocked 14 shots. Junior forward John Walker III also returns as he averaged 5.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in limited action due to a midseason injury. A trio of guards in senior Quinton Brigham, sophomore Ja'Mere Redus and junior Ashton McClelland are also back for the 2020-21 season.
In terms of newcomers, Texas Southern will have the luxury of several players who sat out last season while gaining valuable knowledge of Jones' system and the conference in general as the five redshirts will be eligible to hit the floor for the upcoming season.

Find new and interesting ways to experiment with animated vector patterns in your motion graphics work.
The following tutorial shows you the basic methods for creating patterns in your motion graphics work. We'll show you how to use a still photograph as a background on which to animate vector graphics, and how to embed the animated graphics into the environment. This tutorial is based on a piece that was originally created for BBC Interactive entitled Making Slough Happy and was nominated for an RTS award in its original context last year, which goes to show that sometimes the simplest of animations can be the most effective.
In the original piece, the intro section of the program consisted of about ten or so compositions all using still images and growing vector graphics. Static skies were replaced with time lapse photography of clouds to create the illusion of motion and, when combined with slow camera push-ins, the sequence became quite believable. You can check it out in full in the motion section of www.theronin.co.uk.
For this tutorial project we use an interior shot of a car park stairway and animate patterned lines onto the walls - the graphics bend around the corner walls by making use of After Effects' 3D camera and Z depth. We also add some extra elements consisting of circles that pulse outwards and rotate using a simple preset expression. Falling leaves finish the project off nicely.
When you view the final movie you'll notice that we've included some type which isn't covered in the tutorial - feel free to add or take this away from the project. There are no set parameters except for the limitations of your creativity. Try different shapes, experiment with different background photographs and create your own worlds and messages. Remember, good motion design isn't always about the technique and the style - as with print and any other medium, good design is always about good solid ideas, so if you take that as a starting point, you can't really go wrong.

Campaign flyer from Democratic Party presidential primary, April 1976.
Held on November 2, 1976, the forty-eighth United States presidential election saw the victory of Democrat Jimmy Carter over Republican President Gerald R. Ford, who had succeeded Richard Nixon after the latter resigned in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.
Seventeen Democrats competed in the primaries, but it would be Jimmy Carter, a single-term Georgia governor, who got the nomination. Carter carefully prepared his campaign since 1972 before he announced his candidacy in December 1974. Although he was unknown, had no apparent political base, no organization, no standing in the polls, and little to no money for his campaign, Carter played on his background as a naval officer, a peanut farmer, an agribusinessman, and a late-blooming state politician. As a Georgian and a "New Southerner," Carter could appeal to both white and African Americans. This was a decisive advantage over competitors as it had become clear in the recent elections that a Democrat could only win the presidency with the support of the "Old South." If Carter could overcome Northerners' fear about his fundamentalist, born-again Christian, Southern Baptist faith, he had a slim chance. In addition, in an era marked by cynicism and anger toward Washington and politics, his campaign on issues of "love" and "trust" resonated with many.
It was a long shot until the nomination. Following the advice of his campaign manager Hamilton Jordan to contest the nomination everywhere possible, Carter entered thirty presidential primaries in 1976. It was a way to get much needed exposure as a relative unknown, and he hoped that the new Democratic Party's rules would give him a proportionate share of delegates even in states where he did not finish first. The plan worked, and by June 8, the final day of the primaries, his nomination was a foregone conclusion. His choice of Senator Walter Mondale and his moderate-to-liberal platform sealed the deal. The keynote address at the Democratic National Convention was delivered by Barbara Jordan, a black woman. Her opening words reflected the historic nature of this fact: "It was one hundred and forty-four years ago that members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a presidential candidate. Since that time, Democrats have continued to convene once every four years and draft a party platform and nominate a presidential candidate. And our meeting this week is a continuation of that tradition. But there is something different about tonight. There is something special about tonight. What is different? What is special? I, Barbara Jordan, am a keynote speaker."
Things were more complicated for Gerald Ford, the 'accidental president." Ford won in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Florida but his conservative challenger, former California governor Ronald Reagan, won his own share of states, including Texas and California. Reagan challenged Ford in all of the primaries. Ford and Reagan arrived at the convention with nearly the same number of delegates. Ford was nevertheless nominated on the first ballot. He chose Senator Bob Dole of Kansas to strengthen his base in the Midwest, and because Dole was was favored by the conservative wing of the party. In his acceptance speech, Ford challenged Carter to a series of debates in what is often considered the best speech of his career. Ronald Reagan, however, demonstrated that he was the Republican Party's most eloquent speaker when his speech at the close of the convention outshone Ford's speech accepting the nomination.
With the worst recession since the Great Depression and the worst inflation in U.S. history, the economy was a major campaign issue, as was abortion after the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling, and the character of the candidates. Carter was lambasted for changing positions and for his Playboy interview, while Ford had his own struggles, from his hasty pardon of Nixon to his struggles in tackling economic problems. The two men debated three times, and a fourth debate featured the vice presidential nominees. While he performed well in the first debate, Ford's blunders in the second debate, including his famous statement "there is no Soviet domination of eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration" damaged his campaign.
Although Carter's lead in the polls dwindled from thirty to tenpoints, his "Southern Strategy" paid off. The South, which had increasingly gone Republican since 1960, voted Democrat. Carter won 50 percent of the popular vote and 297 of the electoral vote, against 240 for Ford (one elector voted for Reagan).
As the country was suffering from the impact of the energy crisis and faced rapid inflation, the Democrats lost seats to the Republicans in the 1978 House of Representatives elections. While they lost their two-thirds majority, they still retained a rather large majority of 277 seats against 158 for the Republicans. Thirteen seats changed hands in the Senate race, and the balance was 58–41 in favor of the Democrats. The newly elected Republican congressmen were more conservative than their predecessors, setting the stage for what is commonly known as the "Reagan Revolution." One of the most important initial impacts of the new makeup pf congress was ending the possibility of a ratification of the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union.
Television Coverage
CBS once again filed a petition to loosen the regulations that restricted broadcasters in political matters, especially the equal time provision of Section 315 of the Communication Act. According to the section, broadcasters that aired the press conference of a president who was a candidate for election were subject to demands for equal time from his opponents. Representative Shirley Chisholm and the National Organization for Women, as well as the Democratic National Committee, were against the CBS proposal. In September 1975, the FCC ruled that candidates' news conferences and political debates would no longer trigger equal-time access for all their opponents. Under the "fairness doctrine," however, networks were still required to report conflicting views on public issues. This led to some initial confusion, with networks turning down the president's request to address the nation out of concern about equal-time obligations, but the ruling altogether facilitated the work of the networks and opened up the way for the first presidential debates since 1960. also had a direct impact on the campaign. President Ford, who had been mostly off-camera since the beginning of his campaign so that his opponents would not get equal time, gave more news conferences, and was altogether more publicly present. As the New York Times put it in October 1975, "access to television will be one of the disturbing issues surrounding the 1976 national election campaigns."
After Nixon resigned, Dan Rather moved from White House correspondent to CBS Reports and later 60 Minutes correspondent. He continued, however, to closely follow U.S. politics and report on it in his radio column, "First Line Reports." As early as September 1975, Rather noted that Ford, not the best orator, multiplied public speeches across, in an attempt to "drive down the chances of Reagan mounting a major threat for the nomination," and to "shop around for a vice president." Rather examined the crowded Democratic field, with no clear contender in the fall of 1975. Both parties focused on the economy, which showed signs of recovery in early 1976, and for the Democrats, unpopular busing. As the fight between Ford and Reagan intensified in the spring of 1976, Carter emerged as the leading candidate.
After the first act of the primaries, audience and networks got ready for the second act, the conventions, with an estimated combined cost of $30 million. As in the past, CBS and NBC planned gavel-to-gavel coverage, preempting regular programs, and ABC once again offered selective coverage. For the first time, electronic cameras (with tapes) were widely used, replacing film cameras that required chemical processing before the film could be viewed and edited, with the risk of the film breaking during editing. The Democrats chose Madison Square Garden in New York City for their convention, set to take place from July 12 to July 15, sandwiched between the extravagant Bicentennial celebrations and the Summer Olympics. Despite physical limitations, traffic, and tall buildings, preparations went without major logistical problems. Learning from the painful 1972 lesson, where the nomination of Senator George McGovern was not announced until 2 in the morning, when no one was watching, the Democrats set up a carefully planed convention, well aware that "an American political convention cannot succeed unless it succeeds as a television event." With its infighting between Reagan and Ford supporters and suspense around Ford's vice presidential choice, the Republican convention in Kansas City in August attracted more viewers who did not appear to be bothered by the noisy twenty-five-minute demonstration on behalf of Governor Reagan. Walter Cronkite anchored both conventions with Dan Rather, Roger Mudd, Mike Wallace, and Bruce Morton, was well as Morton Dean and Bob Schieffer. Russ Bensley was once again the producer in charge of convention coverage.
In his acceptance speech, Ford had challenged Carter to a debate, and the lifting of the equal time provision of Section 315 opened the way for a series of three debates between the candidates as well as one between the vice presidential candidates, all of which were sponsored by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF), which escaped the requirements of section 315. Negotiations between the league and the networks grew tense, over issues such as permission to take shots of the audience during the debates, the choice of the panel members who asked the questions, and various other rules. Eventually, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS broadcasted the debates.
On September 23, 1976, the first debate on domestic policy was moderated by NBC's Edwin Newman. New Yorker magazine's Elizabeth Drew, Wall Street Journal's James Gannon and ABC's Frank Reynolds were the panelists, and the topic was domestic affairs. A short circuit in a tiny electronic capacitor knocked out the only amplifier, silencing the candidates for twenty-seven minutes. Ford went on the attack right away and was declared a winner in surveys. The second debate took place on October 6, 1976, in San Francisco and was moderated by Pauline Frederick from NPR. Max Frankel of the New York Times, Henry L. Trewitt of the Baltimore Sun, and Richard Valeriani from NBC News were the panelists. The format was slightly altered for the second debate: follow-up questions by panelists were discouraged as a way to create more of an exchange (and a sense of conflict) between the candidates. Answers would be limited to three minutes, with a two-minute rebuttal by the opponent The second debate focused on foreign policy, an area Ford was supposed to be an expert in. The sitting president, however, committed his biggest blunder, declaring that there was no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe. In addition, Carter looked more relaxed and confident. The final debate on October 22, 1976, was moderated by Barbara Walters of ABC News, with syndicated columnist Joseph Kraft, Robert Maynard of the Washington Post, and Jack Nelson of the Los Angeles Times, as panelists.
The presidential race was extremely tight. On the eve of the election, networks were bracing themselves for a long night, hoping that the millions of dollars they had spent would help them to be the first to project the winners of ninety-three races—the presidential election in all states and forty-seven contests for the Senate and governorships. CBS used "stratified ratio estimation," a method deemed more "scientific" and statistically sophisticated. 3,600 precincts were randomly chosen, and statistics on their past voting behavior were entered in a computer and the sample estimated was corrected by the precincts' known past votes by Warren J. Mitofsky, CBS chief sample statistician. The result was a 99 percent accuracy in the 269 projections.
Networks were cautious about calling the presidential results, and CBS did not project Carter's win until 3:46 a.m. It was "one of the biggest election cliffhangers in recent memory." Walter Cronkite anchored the ten-hour live event with Dan Rather (Midwest regional correspondent); Lesley Stahl (West); Bill Moyers and Eric Severeid (analysis desk); Roger Mudd (South); Mike Wallace (East); and Bruce Morton, trend desk correspondent. The Washington Post commented on the next day that "the best part of CBS was Rather's enthusiasm. He had the most closely contested part of the country to report—the Midwest—and he communicated both solid information and excitement."
