On Sunday Republicans accused the Broward County canvassing board of bowing to political pressure after the board reversed a decision to disqualify ballots with dimple or one corner chads. In Austin Bush campaign spokesman, Marc Racicot, denounced the continuation of any recount. He said Governor George W. Bush has won on every count and recount since November seventh. Meanwhile in Florida, ballot counting and sorting continued through the afternoon. Democrats are fighting to keep the recount active, and to ensure that the tallies are included in the certification of the vote. But Republicans say the recounts violate the law and are especially prone to inaccuracy and fraud. Gore's lawyers planned to ask the Supreme Court to establish a uniform standard for all three counties, preferring rules that give officials great discretion to discern voters' intent when punch-out ballots are only slightly punctured. Florida's Supreme Court is due to rule on the eligibility of manual recounts in the presidential vote on Monday. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We have already had one count of the votes and Governor Bush won that count almost two weeks ago. Now we have a second state wide recount and Bush won that as well. After an effort by Al Gore to reject the votes of as many members of the Armed Forces as they could. Governor Bush's margin of victory in fact increased." SUPER CAPTION: Marc Racicot, Governor of Montana, Bush campaign spokesman SOUNDBITE: (English) "The Gore Campaign fears they will lose the manual recount without what's called dimpled ballots. A dimpled ballot is a paper ballot that is not punched at all but appears to be depressed. If a voter did touch that punch mark, they may have paused, but took no action." SUPER CAPTION: Marc Racicot, Governor of Montana, Bush campaign spokesman SOUNDBITE: (English) "Now that the votes have been counted and recounted and the absentee ballots are in, the Democrats know exactly how many votes they need to turn this election around. This appears to be an attempt to get the votes they need by eliminating any standards or fairness in the process. SUPER CAPTION: Ray Sullivan, Republican Observer, Broward County SOUNDBITE: (English) "The canvassing board this morning, based on the advice of counsel, revised their standard to a more accurate standard." Q: Which means what now? What's going to happen? "Well, they're going to be using a more accurate standard in determining voter intent. Q: So, at this point, we don't know if the dimples will actually be considered or not? "Again, I think what their attorneys advised them under Florida law is that you just can't say two corners is voter intent. You have cases where literally someone voted on everything on the ballot, they punched a hole through the chad, it's obvious what their intent was and for whatever reason the chad didn't fall out. And, its clearly a ballot of voter intent for that particular candidate." SUPER CAPTION: Peter Deutsch, Florida Democrat Representative SOUNDBITE: (English) "I've been a lawyer much too long to say something one day in advance of argument. Courts like to make their own decisions, so we'll just be there and we'll make the best arguments we can and hope for the best."

INTERVIEW CONTINUES: Pete Fornatale 36:08 That's Humble Pie and stone cold fever. At the time when my guest Peter Frampton was a member of the band. Peter, is it also true that your writing style changed during the Humble Pie years? Peter Frampton 36:24 Yes, I mean, we started off as a band being very overly democratic. And as much as anything anybody wrote, We all whether it was Jerry, Greg, Steve or myself, we just did it. And that was it. Because we'd all been in bands where there had been someone that was like the guy that said, You're doing my songs, and that's it. You know? So it was an and Steve was very, very much aware of that, you know, that he he didn't want to, he could have written everything at twice the speed of everybody else. He was Austin. He was he was really prolific, you know. And, but he didn't, and he wanted to write with the band and everything. So he we sort of did I think we belittled ourselves to start with, in as much as we didn't what Glyn John's was when we did our third record, Glyn John's was the person that took us aside and said, Look, I think what we should do for this album is you can all write the songs. That's not not a problem. He said. He pointed to Steve said, You're the singer. Greg, you're the bass player. Jerry, you're the drummer. And Peter's the lead guitarist. Why don't we approach it that way for this album, and it was the first one that made any noise and it sort of narrowed our direction. And it was the way it should have been to start with, you know, but we experimented until we found the way we should go, but he was absolutely 100%. Right. Pete Fornatale 37:52 But you were also hearing different influences at that point. Then the Buddy Holly Peter Frampton 37:57 Oh yeah, we were listening to Dr. John the night tripper, the band, Buffalo Springfield, you know, Pete Fornatale 38:06 Mary, it was a sponge for that stuff. Right? And, yes, pass it along to you. Peter Frampton 38:11 Absolutely. And country stuff as well. He was very much into into good country. Pete Fornatale 38:18 In one of those odd situations, Humble Pie had its biggest success with that live album recorded at our own Fillmore East here in New York. And you had already left the group ever have any second thoughts or regrets about that? Peter Frampton 38:35 Well? Well, I was obviously a part of that show and part of the record. And, in fact, we all make some of it but I mix most of it with Eddie Kramer, the, the great engineer in New York at Electric Lady, you know, Jimmy's Jimi Hendrix studio. And so then, when, when Dee Anthony came over to London to bring us the cover, to show us the cover, I said, Can I have a meeting with you alone first, and so I laid it out for him. I said, like, I'm, I think I'm gonna, well, I know I'm gonna leave, you know, before the album comes out, because I think now would be an easier time and he said, You're nuts. You're crazy. This is going to be a big album. I said, maybe it is and and I hope it is. And if it is, I'll probably think I've made the worst decision of my career already. But I say I gotta go do my own. I'm ready to do something else. And I, we then called Steve and he called me every name in the book, you know, I was hurt, you know, and I was, it was, it was not an easy decision for me because it was like I said, it was it was such a fantastic band to be a part of. And it wasn't because I didn't like humble pie at all. It was that I had to, I felt the need. I wasn't being as All filled as I figured I could be I was I'd come of age. And I needed to lead my own situation. Pete Fornatale 40:07 So it was in a sense, like starting all over again, constructing that, that solo career. One of the things you did in the interim was some session work with some very beloved musicians. You want to tell us a little bit about that? Peter Frampton 40:22 Yes, well, I started off doing some sessions, actually for a musical director called John Paul Jones, who was then going to be in Led Zeppelin, the bass player. I did some sessions for him, and became like his guitarist of choice for a couple of different things and, and then I bumped into a friend in Wardour Street, who worked for George Harrison. And he said, Do you want to come down and George is recording in, in in Trident studios down around the corner? So I said, Yes. So we went in, and I'll never forget it. We walked into the control room, and George was like, where that chair is over there. And he just looked up and he said, Hello Pete, you know, and I thought, oh, gosh, I look back. I thought Pete Townsend was behind me or something. But it was like, I guess he does know who I am, because I've been on the telly too, you know, so it was a very strong moment. And he said, Look, I'm producing this, this album for Doris Troy right now we're in the middle of cutting this, this track, would you like to play guitar, you know, and so he handed me his cherry, sunburst 1959 Les Paul and said, off you go sort of thing. And I walked down and there's Ringo, on drums. And Klaus Volman on bass and Nicky Hopkins on piano usual suspects. Yes. Just and I'm going you know, Chris Spedding was the the other guitar player. I mean, just, I thought, you know, I died and gone to have it. You know, it was unbelievable. Unbelievable. So then I very quietly started playing rhythm. Once George had shown me the chords and he stopped the band. He said, No, date. I want you to play lead. So that was it. I thought, Oh, dear. So, you know, that was, that was one that I'll never forget. And then through that, I got introduced to Harry Nelson. And the same old suspects. Were on that one and the son of Milson. We toured with the herd with the who, so the ox, John Entwistle was doing a solo album, and he asked me to play on that. So I played on that played on Nicky Hopkins, and then I go blank, but I did so many sessions, but those are the ones that really stand out. Pete Fornatale 43:03 I want to stick with George for a second for an obvious reason. But you played on the All Things must pass session to you does a specific track from that album that you were involved with come to mind? Peter Frampton 43:18 Well, it's more that I mean, I mean, a lot of things happen. I'm sitting in, in, in Abbey Road, the big studio where they did Sergeant Pepper, and I'm sitting next to George and the rest of band Badfinger. And we're all on acoustics. And he brought over Pete Drake, Bob Dylan recommended because they wrote if not for you together. And he recommended that he bring Pete Drake from Nashville who played on Nashville Skyline who was one of the top pedal steel session players in Nashville. And, and Pete in a slow moment, got out a homemade TalkBox and, and even had a hit in the 60s a country hit called I Am the guitar and he started doing it for me. And I I almost went myself. Yes. Oh, yeah, absolutely. That sound you know, it's like, Oh, my God. And so I said, where do you get those? He said, why I made my mon you know, so it was an Pete remained a friend until we've lost him now, but he was a fantastic person. So that's where I first saw that but I think the thing that I remember most was after we'd lay down the tracks, I think I played live with everybody on about six tracks, mostly the acoustic country type ones. And then George called me up and I live around the corner. I still say it's only because I live around the corner. He got me on the record. I was close by and he called up and said Uh, Phil, Phil Spector. Phil wants more acoustics. So I said, Oh God, um, I'll be right there. So, jumps in the car literally. And just 10 minutes later I'm back at Abbey Road with the old acoustic. And it's done. I realize it's just him and me, you know, and we're sitting in front of the glass, Phil Spector's in there complaining about his stomach ulcer, you know, and and we're going through every track that's got acoustics. And I, when people say how many tracks Did you plan? I don't know. But a lot, you know, anything that there's acoustic on? I'm probably somewhere in there. And between between reels. George started jamming and what do you do your join in? And then that is probably people say, well, what's the greatest moment in your career? And I say, well, it's not what you think it is. It's sitting next to George Harrison in front of Phil Spector and Abbey Road jamming. Pete Fornatale 46:08 Wow. You have paid lovely, lovely tribute to George on the new CD now by covering one of his most famous songs. Peter Frampton 46:19 Yeah. A bold move. But we we were doing a benefit in Cincinnati for 911. And I was trying to introduce reintroduce local Cincinnati talent, which is King Records was was there which Freddie Freddie King James Brown. All the kings recorded their blues. Yeah, it's so much so much history, and they don't really know you know, that. It's it. It was right off. 71 right there. So anyway. So we were doing we set up i i partnered with the local promotion there and team and we put on this benefit for 911. And then we when we would do as we were doing it, we lost George in the end of November in 2001. And so before we hit the soundcheck, I asked everybody to just freshen up on on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. And so we did it the soundcheck sounded pretty good. And I thought it would be a nice way to leave the audience with that one, too. It is our last number. And it will be a nice tribute, say goodbye salute to George Harrison. And we played it. And I felt like it was one of those really strange moments when you feel like you're miming to a record didn't feel like it was like, I think it was the emotion of the evening. And it sort of played itself. I felt like he was there with us. You know, it was really a wonderful feeling. And there was that, you know, when something affects an audience and they don't know, it's finished for a second or two, and there was this like, sort of Pin drop silence for a second, and then they just went nuts, you know, and it was, obviously, everyone got caught up in the emotion of everything. But I think that was the reason we all came off. And I think Bob and Chad John just said, we should try that. When we do the album. What don't you think? And I said, I got a little thing I'm a little worried about there. Eric Clapton played the solo on the original. And so that's a little bit of a stumbling block for me. So anyway, I, I sort of put that out of my mind. I quoted him but then I went off and did my own style. Pete Fornatale 48:50 Not that you need to hear it from me, but it's a beautiful, beautiful version. Peter Frampton 48:55 Well, thank you. Pete Fornatale 48:56 Let's listen on mixbag radio.

Vote counters in Broward County, Florida didn't take the holiday off either, as their hand count went forward in order to make the Sunday deadline imposed by the state's highest court. Democrats filed an appeal on Thanksgiving Day asking the Florida Supreme Court to force Miami-Dade County officials to resume a manual recount it unexpectedly abandoned a day before. The Democrats first went to a state appeals court Wednesday night after the exhausted Miami-Dade election board stopped its counting - leaving Al Gore without a hope of picking up votes there and cutting into George W. Bush's lead in the state's presidential election. The state Supreme Court had set a 5 P.m. Sunday deadline for Miami-Dade and two other counties to get recount totals into the state so the election could be certified. Gore spokesman Doug Hattaway said Thursday the state high court was being asked to order the Miami-Dade board to resume and complete the full hand count or at least the 10,000 votes - those with possible indented chads that machines didn't read the first time. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well, the law actually says that if you undertake a recount and find that there is enough discrepancy in the votes to effect the outcome of the election, the law actually requires you to do a hand recount. And the Miami-Dade board doesn't have the discretion there. And the Supreme Court ordered the canvassing board to count the votes. We don't think their deadline is an excuse to stop counting." SUPER CAPTION: Doug Hattaway, Gore Campaign Spokesman The Florida Supreme Court Spokesman says the justices are away from the courthouse today to celebrate Thanksgiving, but they are being given the Gore campaign's documents as soon as possible. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Vice President Gore's attorney filed a petition, a writ of mandate seeking other relief in the court. The court now has the matter under advisement. We have been contacting the justices wherever they are located, making sure that they get copies of this petition to read. The court is aware of the urgency of this particular matter, and will be doing the best it can to come up with a determination as quickly as possible." SUPER CAPTION: Craig Waters, Florida Supreme Court Spokesman Waters said the Bush attorneys would have a chance to respond to the brief if the claim is not rejected outright by the court. Election officials in Broward County, Florida are giving up their Thanksgiving holiday to continue the tedious but critical hand recount of contested ballots in the November 7 presidential election. Most of the county's ballots have already been counted, but 2 thousand remain in question as to who voters intended to vote for. UPSOUND: (English) "...But they voted for nothing else. And it would appear to me that if they took the trouble to go to the polling place on election day they would have voted for somebody, and it appears they voted for George Bush."

FS22 AUSTIN HONORS CORDON FRENCH POOL 2 0800 NBC POOL SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD AUSTIN HOLDS HONOR CORDON AND MEETING WELCOMING FRENCH MINISTER OF THE ARMED FORCES FLORENCE PARTY TO THE PENTAGON. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III; French Minister of the Armed Forces Florence Parly SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD J. AUSTIN III: Well, bonjour, and thank you for joining us today, Madam Minister. It's very good to see you again so soon after our last meeting in Brussels, and I'm delighted to host you here at the Pentagon. I've been looking forward to this for quite some time. It's not lost on me that your visit falls between our prospective (sic) independence days, July 4th and July 14th. It's an honor to have the chance to meet with our first ally at a time of year when we celebrate the democratic values that we share. Our cooperation in NATO, the Sahel and the Middle East are a key to our long-standing partnership, which is grounded in common strategic interests, our shared understanding of the importance of diplomacy and a powerful interest in preserving the international rules-based order. Today, as you well know, some of our competitors are working to undermine the stable and open order that we both support. So in the Indo-Pacific in particular, France is an ideal partner for the United States as we work to bolster our shared interests in the region. In Europe, we look forward to continuing to consult with France, as well as our other NATO allies and partners, as the Department of Defense moves forth with its strategic reviews and as we continue to confront an increasingly-aggressive Russia. We'll also spend some time today discussing our cooperation in the Sahel, where France and coalition forces from Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger work to bring peace and security to the region. The United States is proud to support our French and African partners. Closer to home, we'll also discuss implementing deliverables that we agreed upon at the NATO leaders summit and at -- and the U.S.-E.U. summit in June, and of course, we thank France for your contributions in Afghanistan since the very beginning of operations there in 2001. We thank the French people and the French military who served bravely alongside us for the last 20 years. And now it's time for us to end that war, and we appreciate the coordination we've had as together, we and our NATO allies have begun to transition to a new relationship with our Afghan partners. I'm also looking forward to our -- to continuing our efforts in other areas and discussing new areas for potential cooperation, and to that end, I am especially pleased that later today, we'll be visiting USCYBERCOMMAND together, where the United States is working to develop our defenses and build up our resilience against adversaries in cyberspace. I know you have also made cybersecurity a top priority, and that France has developed a cybersecurity strategy to mitigate risk and increase its capabilities. Our countries have a strong shared interest in protecting our critical infrastructure and that of our allies, including cyber infrastructure, and that's a foundation for our future cooperation in the area of technological infrastructure more broadly. And finally, I'm looking forward to signing the Special Operations Forces roadmap, which paves the way for enhanced cooperation between our Special Operations Forces, who have a long history of working together on a number of issues. And so Madam Minister, I hope that your visit to Washington will be a memorable one. I'm looking forward to our time together and to deepening the U.S.-France partnership on defense issues. Merci beaucoup. FRENCH MINISTER OF THE ARMED FORCES FLORENCE PARLY: Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary. I've been very (inaudible), because I want first and foremost to thank you very much for your warm welcome. I'm very delighted to continue the discussions we started in Brussels a -- a few weeks ago. Our cooperation is already very strong and deep, especially in the field of operations, and we want to seize every opportunity to strengthen it. Intelligence, space and cyber are also domains where we cooperate more and more. I met, a few days ago, General Dickinson in Paris, and it was a -- a very good symbol of the relationship we are going to create more and more in the future. I also want to thank you sincerely for your support in the Sahel. Today, President Macron unveiled the broad outlines of the transformation of Operation Barkhane. Your support will continue to be needed in the fight against terrorism and we are very grateful for it. France and the United States are known to be the oldest allies. These are not just pretty words; they reflect something real. We are allies in words and deeds. Thank you.

Jenga is a seemingly innocuous game designed for light-hearted fun. Sadly this is not always the reality. A range of tried and tested approaches exist for this game. There are the cautious players who carefully poke through the middle piece, the gamblers who will risk toppling the entire tower just to put their opponent on the back foot, and the strategist who will poke and prod every single piece in the tower before making a selection. When you move the game outside, increase the size of the pieces, and introduce alcohol to the equation, the entire foundation of the game changes, allowing spectacular fails such as this one to occur!
