Track 28 on CDA66641/2 CD2 [3'46] 2CDs
The funeral atmosphere returns with the stunning chorus 'For Sion lamentation make'. Over minor chords from the upper strings and a falling, undulating bass line the bassoons are at their most plaintive, sighing in their upper register. The choir enter in a mournful barcarolle, the harmony is full of the richest suspensions and the alliteration of the words poignantly set: Handel is on superb form. Simon, one of Mattathias's sons, enters, reasoning that such grief does not become God's chosen race. Morell's rather bizarre text for the Israelitish Man, 'Pious orgies', draws elegantly tuneful writing from the composer, and the Israelites' confidence that their prayers will be answered is strengthened in the hymn-like opening to the chorus 'Oh Father, whose almighty pow'r', turning at the midpoint into a confident fugue 'And grant a leader bold and brave'. Simon returns with a brisk accompagnato 'I feel the Deity within' in which he points out his brother Judas as the next leader of Israel. In the air 'Arm, arm ye brave' he stirs his fellows into action (with some delightful doubling of the voice by the bassoon), driving the Israelites into a lively chorus 'We come in bright array'. The words are pointed by the orchestra's driving fanfares: the insistent block chord repetitions of 'Judah' are especially powerful. Judas responds with the dramatic air 'Call forth thy powr's', full of runs for both orchestra and soloist, and containing a contrasting middle section 'Great is the glory'.
Next, more for musical contrast than dramatic necessity, comes a series of four liberty airs, the first of which, 'Oh liberty', is scored for solo cello and continuo, with the tutti strings joining in for the affectionate playout. 'Come ever smiling liberty' proved to be a huge hit with audiences in 1748, being encored in mid-performance: it has all the charm and good melody that makes Handel's simple arias so appealing. The Israelite Man's response ''Tis liberty' proved to be equally popular, being sung at Covent Garden four times in a month, and later even being arranged for barrel organ! The sequence ends with a reprise of 'Come, ever smiling liberty', now neatly turned into a duet, shortened and given a fuller orchestral texture. With the chorus 'Lead on' the warlike mood returns, and Judas fires up his troops with a dramatic accompagnato in which he resolves 'on liberty or death'. The semi-chorus 'Disdainful of danger' is splendid: Handel scores it for men's voices only, the rushing scales and repeated notes vividly representing the impetuous Israelite men in their 'rush on the foe': the phrase 'that thy pow'r, oh Jehova' rollicks along. Judas sets out his aims for victory and eventual peace in the air 'No unhallow'd desire', and the Act ends with the Israelite's prayer 'Hear us O Lord', in which the smooth opening theme and the pleading repetitions of 'hear us' are contrasted with the more lively scalic movement as they, 'resolv'd on conquest or a glorious fall', go off to battle.
Act II
At the start of Act II the Israelites are celebrating victory over invaders from Samaria (under Apollonius) and Syria (under Seron). 'Fall'n is the foe' is a splendid chorus, with a hugely energetic opening for the strings. The first choral phrase is fired amongst the voices like an arrow, occasionally interrupted by sudden hushes for the word 'fall'n'. Towards the end of the movement, when fugue gives way to choral block chords, the choir are given a particularly thundrous unison orchestral accompaniment for 'where warlike Judas wields his mighty sword'. The Israelite Man is provided with a virtuoso air 'So rapid thy course is', exploiting the agility of the voice and the extremes of its range and giving ample evidence of Caterina Galli's vocal pyrotechnics. The duet 'Sion now her head shall raise' and the extensive chorus 'Tune your harps' into which it links were the last of Handel's additions to the oratorio, with sumptous vocal and instrumental scoring, especially in the overlapping entries for the divided boys and the full wind scoring, full of passages of doubled thirds. In her recitative 'Oh let eternal honours' the Israelitish Woman praises Judas's courage in battle but in the following air 'From mighty kings', another gem, Handel chooses to stress the more gentle, smiling, side of the text in gloriously lilting writing for his soprano. The brief middle section 'Judah rejoiceth in his way' is a contrast in almost every way, brisk and busy in its runs. With the duet and chorus 'Hail, Judea, happy land', in the bright key of D major, the Israelites are now confident and happy. Judas reminds them that the victory came because heaven willed it so, and that it is to that quarter that they should 'give your applause'. In setting Judas's air 'How vain is man' some writers have suggested that Handel misunderstood the meaning of the word 'vain', interpreting 'conceited' rather than Morell's intended 'empty': but Judas is a fiery, warlike character (and so was his English parallel Cumberland), and Handel makes play with the word 'gigantic' in another virtuoso test of his soloist. The middle section 'And dreams not that a hand unseen' is one of the few pieces of lyrical writing for Judas in the oratorio.
The triumphant mood is rapidly broken by the messenger's news of renewed war. Antiochus, King of Samaria, has sent a large force under Gorgias: once again there is a threat of war and the Israelites are thrown into depression. The air and chorus 'Ah, wretched Israel' is of the finest quality. The texture at the start is simple: a solo cello sets the despondent mood, and is then joined by a lamenting solo soprano. At the tutti strings' entry, Handel (following the example of Purcell at moments of great tragedy) utilizes a ground bass. The entry of the chorus increases the pathos, with the word 'wretched' set with especial feeling: towards the end, the phrase 'fall'n, how low' is spread amongst the voices to devastating effect and the strings end the movement softly. Simon is left to reason that such events are sent not to destroy Israel, but to punish it for its misdemeanours against God. His splendid air 'The Lord worketh wonders' contains all the word-painting that one would expect, with rising phrases for 'his glory to raise', and especially graphic writing for the voice and the continuo section for 'thunders'.
The warlike Judas is immediately roused into making war against the Idumean governer, and Handel obliges with a marvellous solo and chorus, 'Sound an alarm'. The temptation to bring in the full orchestra at the start is resisted: Judas's first call to arms is answered by the continuo section (in our recording, every available bass instrument in the orchestra!). At the mid-point, Judas sounds his alarm again, and this time is rewarded by the entry of the whole orchestra: the trumpets and timpani play their first notes in the oratorio—what an exciting entry this is! Finally the chorus enter with 'We hear the pleasing, dreadful call', pulled along by the trumpets and timpani's insistently driving fanfares. Faint respite is given by the sudden silence and drop in dynamics at 'if to fall' but the build-up through 'for laws, religion, liberty, we fall' is inexorable and the movement ends in a blaze of orchestral sound. Once again Simon is the calm voice of reason, calling a halt to the bellicose mood: whilst his brother is at war, he has to clean up the temple, which has been desecrated. In the beautiful air 'With pious hearts', his simple melody and the violins' sighing cross-phrasing creates a mood of noble resignation. The Israelite Man and Woman too lend their support, hurling 'polluted altars' and other profane elements out of the temple.
Handel's 1758 addition to the score of 'Wise men flatt'ring' (based on a movement from nearly fifty years before in Agrippina) brings in a jewel. The scoring includes two horns, two flutes, two oboes and two bassoons, as well as strings, and with this variety of instruments at his disposal, Handel produces a wealth of glorious textures. The simple melody, lilting in its gentle triple time and accompanied by a rising triad which moves through all the orchestra, is a winner. The cleaning of the temple now completed, the Israelite Man and Woman state the resolve of the Israelites not to worship anyone but God in 'We never will bow down' (with some of Morell's most trite words), and their melody is taken up by the chorus before Handel resorts, as he often does in moments of a weak libretto, to a fugue to close the Act. The key changes from minor to major, and the composer gives added impact by utilizing a double fugue. Striking block chords characterize the first subject (almost an inversion of Bach's famous 'St Anne' theme) which continues throughout the movement in long notes in at least one of the voice parts: against this is heard the second fugal subject, more rhythmically lively. The Act ends with the Israelites' defiant affirmation of their strong belief in God.
Act III
For the gentle celebration of the Feast of Lights which opens the third Act, Handel produced a masterpiece. 'Father of Heaven' is every bit as great a melody as 'Ombra mai fu'. From the first notes of the string introduction the music flows gracefully, beautifully scored and gloriously serene: leaving the singer's first phrase unaccompanied was a masterstroke. Handel's principal cellist must have relished his ravishing continuo line! The middle section, for a change, does not go to the minor. Instead, with 'And thus our grateful hearts employ' the voice is encouraged into its upper reaches. The quiet return to the opening section is spellbinding—even with the most unsophisticated Handelian audience there surely cannot have been a dry eye in the house! The Israelite Man takes the rising incense from the altar to be a sign that God has heard the prayers, and the Israelite Woman prays that peace will descend on Israel. Her air 'So shall the lute and harp awake' is a delight, the references to the musical instruments of heaven inspiring Handel in much the same way as they did the next year in 'Oh had I Jubal's lyre'. The extended middle section provides lyrical contrast to the light jollity of the outer sections, full of neat runs and the glorious harmonic sequences which made Handel's writing so immediately attractive and accessible to his audiences.
A breathless alto messenger brings the good news from Capharsalama that Judas has routed the enemy in their thousands (elephants and all!) and, introduced by a second messenger, the hero enters Jerusalem in triumph. In 1748 'See the conqu'ring hero comes' had not yet been written, and the music moved straight into 'Sing unto God', but the huge success of the chorus when premiered in Joshua the next year ensured its immediate inclusion for ever after. Handel's procession is headed by a 'Chorus of Youths' (accompanied by organ and two obbligato horns), followed by a 'Chorus of Virgins' (flutes and organ). For the third verse the whole orchestra and choir combine, with the military drummer instructed to play 'ad libitum, the second time warbling' [ie tremelo]. The lively March that follows (originally placed in Act II) was borrowed from a keyboard piece in Georg Muffat's Componimenti of 1735.
The chorus 'Sing unto God' is an example of Handel's ceremonial writing at its best: this is a chorus which could just as easily be from one of the Coronation Anthems. In the bright key of D two soloists joyfully start the movement before the choral and orchestral forces combine, the block chords of 'Sing unto God' alternating with Handel's inimitable runs, all punctuated by triumphant trumpet fanfares. Judas, magnanimous in victory, orders a halt to the celebrations whilst warriors are decently buried. Morell gets near the ridiculous in his special mention of Eleazar: apparently going one better than Acis (whom we remember was crushed beneath Polyphemus's stone), this warrior hero 'triumphed in a glorious death', squashed in battle under a fallen elephant! Judas's air 'With honour let desert be crown'd' is remarkable for its use of a trumpet obbligato in A minor—one of very few pieces in the eighteenth century for the instrument written in a minor key, and certainly Handel's only example. If ever proof was needed of the skill of eighteenth century trumpeters (for the aria stayed in each performance for ten years), here would be a good example.
Eupolomeus, the Jewish Ambassador to Rome, returns from a diplomatic mission to the Senate with the news that the Romans have agreed to protect Israel from further attacks. The chorus celebrate with a gentle hymn 'To our great God be all the honour giv'n', its sentiments enhanced by the use of a minor key. The Israelite Woman's air, 'O lovely peace' brings in a pastoral mood: two flutes add their distinctive colours to the string texture, and Handel's use of a drone bass and a gently rocking rhythm creates a delightfully tranquil scene. The scoring of the middle section, with 'nature's songsters' twittering away in the violins, is glorious: Israel is now firmly at peace.
It is left to Simon to introduce the final chorus, with a marvellous air, joyful yet noble, 'Rejoice, oh Judah'. The choir enter fugally with their 'Halleluia' and then, in inspired writing, so do the trumpets, now stretching the first syllable of their Halleluia over nearly two bars. The full forces are at work, but Handel saves one more thrilling moment for the massive choral and orchestral chords that underlie 'And in songs divine, harmonious join'. Little wonder when William Shenstone's steward spoke for the masses in enthusing 'with such ecstacy of the music'. Handel's pocket was once again full, English pride restored—but did anyone spare a thought for the poor Scots?

Celebrity Mean Tweets Are Back!
Jimmy Kimmel's Mean Tweets series just keeps getting better and better. Sure, it's sad that there are so many haters out there, and there's probably something sub-conscious here that encourages the haters to hate more, but... The reactions of some of these celebrities to the nasty things tweeted about them is simply classic. Case in point on this newest installment: John Stamos's reaction to a tweet about his "gross" belly button.

Katy Razzes Paparazzi
Katy Perry's fed up with paparazzi, especially the guys who were hounding her every step this weekend in Australia. She's in Sydney on her Prismatic World Tour, and all she wanted was a little quiet time on the beach. Not too much to ask, right? Except for the "perverted and disgusting" paparazzi, salivating at the prospect of a shot of Katy in her bikini that could be sold to the highest tabloid bidder. Katy took to Twitter to fire a cannon in their direction. pic.twitter.com/rm7kL37Bj2 — KATY PERRY (@katyperry) November 22, 2014 She even posted some pictures of the offenders. THESE ARE A FEW OF THE STALKERS: pic.twitter.com/1JtHSIVuqc — KATY PERRY (@katyperry) November 22, 2014

Celebrities Stuck in Traffic
Comedian impressionist Lauren O'Brien posted a video last week of fourteen celebrities stuck in traffic. Of course, she's playing all fourteen, and some of them are pretty good! Decide for yourself - which will be your favorite? For me, it's a toss up between Kristen Stewart and Sofia Vergara....

Music Video or Underwear Ad?
Beyonce released a video for her new single, "7/11," over the weekend. They're calling it homemade - it looks like it could have been shot on a cell phone, all around Queen Bey's house, featuring cameos by Baby Blue Ivy and maybe even Hubby Zee. It's energetic, but seems to go out of its way to feature undergarments - on Beyonce and on her dancers. If the Fruit of the Loom people are on the ball, I'm smelling a Super Bowl commercial here...

O, Canada, Thank You
The other night, in Toronto, the hometown Maple Leafs played the Nashville Predators. As is custom, both the Canadian and American national anthems were performed. In the middle of the American song, the singer's microphone cut out - and the crowd took over, singing the song loud and proud to the very end. Thank you, Canadians! I can't help but wonder if we could do the same thing for them. Time to brush up on "O, Canada," I guess.

Just Face It, This is Funny
You don't have to be a soccer fan, or even understand the sport, to appreciate the fun in this video. It's so well done - a series of penalty kicks will decide the outcome of this "match" between Yale and North Carolina. Watch the action as the incomparable Scott Sterling keeps his goal that hardest way possible. And make sure you pay attention to the announcers - the British accents and expressions really help sell the bit!

A Realistically Proportioned Fashion Doll
There's been a lot of pushback recently against the unrealistic proportions of Barbie dolls. Except for those women who slave away to look like human Barbies, real women simply don't look like that. So how would a "realistically proportioned fashion doll" fare in today's toy market? Toy designer Nikolay Lamm aims to find out, with Lammily, a doll based on the proportions of the average 19-year-old woman. To add to the realism, Lammily comes with stick-on tattoos, cellulite, stretch marks, scars and more. Check out the video of a bunch of school kids getting to meet Lammily and compare her to a normal Barbie doll. It's pretty interesting...

One Winner Means Lots of Losers
On Jimmy Kimmel Live the other night, Jimmy got to break the news that Chris Hemsworth is People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2014. So, he's the winner. Which means, every other man on the planet is the loser. Like Jason Bateman, who thought he'd been invited to appear on Kimmel's show because he was going to get the award. To make him feel better, Jimmy let Jason read his acceptance speech, which he'd prepared in anticipation of winning the award. (For the record, Jason's an underrated comic actor...)

Spielberg? Or Squirrel?
This one's a commercial just waiting to happen. Someone left his GoPro camera on the ground near a tree. A curious squirrel approached and decided he must have the GoPro - or, he mistook it for a shiny nut. Either way, the squirrel nabbed the camera and scooted up a tree with it. The footage is pretty amazing, even when the squirrel drops it to the ground. Could be the rodent version of Stephen Spielberg here...

Even Worse Than Misfit, These Toys Are Bad
A consumer advocacy group called WATCH - World Against Toys Causing Harm - this week issued its list of the Ten Worst Toys of 2014. The worst, according to WATCH, is the Air Storm Firetek Bow, which can shoot arrows up to 145 feet. There's also the Catapencil, an actual pencil with a slingshot at the top - surefire classroom fun right there. A Battle Hammer designed for three-year-olds - the ones who think they're Thor, I guess. The SWAT Electric Machine Gun was in the middle of the list. Surprising, really, when you consider the manufacturer's warning that it could be mistaken for the real thing by law enforcement personnel. You can check out the full list in this article in The Daily Mail. And check out the video of the press conference...

"America Loves You"
Give Jay Leno a hand. He recently visited Afghanistan, performing for the troops in a USO show. He came home wanting to do more. So he and the folks at The Today Show selected an active service member who was also a wounded warrior, and gave him a joy ride to remember. Check out the video as Jay drove Corporal Ethan Laberge on the back roads around Fort Campbell, Kentucky in a brand-new 2015 Dodge HRT Hellcat - the muscle car of muscle cars. And at the end of the ride... You just have to watch it for yourself. And grab a hankie. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Fearsome Foursome
I just stumbled on this video - it's been floating around cyberspace for a few months - but it's mesmerizing. The quartet is called Salut Salon - based in Hamburg, Germany, they mix classical music with some comedic stylings. Playing another's instrument with her own bow, playing the piano upside down, playing their stringed instruments inverted... They never miss a step or skip a note. Watch it once, and tell me that's enough!

"Have Courage... and Be Kind"
Looks like Disney's doing it again, but in reverse. Everyone recalls the classic Disney animated feature, Cinderella. In March, Disney releases the live action version - with a few updates and some computer-generated tweaks - that looks pretty darn good. There is magic in this one...

#TBT: The Carlton Dance, & More
This one's an oldie but goodie - I missed it last year, so maybe you did too. Even if you saw it, it's fun to watch again. Will Smith and his son Jaden visited the BBC's Graham Norton Show and got a little musical. Jaden did a little rap while his dad did some beats in the background. Then Will brought out DJ Jazzy Jeff and the three of them performed the rap theme song from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. And then, a little frosting on the cake as DJ Jazzy Jeff cranked up Tom Jone's "It's Not Unusual." Alfonso Ribeiro joined them, and everybody did The Carlton. Check it out. It's a lot of fun.

Seven Feet & Counting
Parts of Buffalo and upstate New York were positively buried in a storm some are calling Snovember early this week. But that doesn't stop the train that is professional sport from rolling, does it? On Tuesday, the night of the storm, 6200 fans made it out to see the Buffalo Sabres in action. And now, the Buffalo Bills and the NFL are looking for some help, digging Ralph Wilson Stadium out from under the snow in time for the Bills to play the New York Jets over the weekend. Want to work in the NFL? The Bills are hiring snow shovelers http://t.co/qibRAADFm4 pic.twitter.com/NfC1lM56Qe — For The Win (@ForTheWin) November 19, 2014 If you do well, they could pick up your option for future storms and years. Who knows? You could be a Hall of Fame Shoveler at some point in your future. Meanwhile, if you want to get a sense of what it's like to be in the middle of something like that, check out this drone's-eye view of the event...

Million Dollar Baby
This could be one of the most insane stories you've ever heard. A pregnant woman from Saskatchewan, Jennifer Huculak, was vacationing in Hawaii when her water broke, and she delivered her daughter nine weeks early. Mom and daughter spent about six weeks in the hospital in Hawaii, and then headed home. Mom had Blue Cross coverage, but the insurance company denied her claim, leaving her with a $950,000 bill to pay. So now, the family is left with three options: continue to fight Blue Cross; declare bankruptcy; or just sit things out to see what happens next. They could of course hit the lottery. That could help.

She's Too Young For the Club, and By the Way...
"Hello, Tyga? There's a reality check waiting to be picked up at the front desk." Here's one straight out of the pages of Yeah, I Know It's a Law But Not For Me, RIght? Tyga, the 25-year-old musician, was supposed to play at a club called Greystone Manor in West Hollywood. He begged the club management to allow his 17-year-old girlfriend, Kylie Jenner - one of the offspring of Mamadashian - to attend the show. The management refused, because it's a 21+ establishment. So Tyga pull a no-show, managing to tick off a sponsor big time. Maybe it's a math problem. Who needs to figure out that Kylie has to wait another four years to get into the club because of the laws that govern places that sell booze. And while we're at it, memo to Kris and Bruce Jenner: a 25-year-old rapper is dating your 17-year-old daughter. Look for those Parents of the Year trophies, mailed to your separate homes in the next six to eight weeks.

Baby, It's Not Frozen Outside
Put Idina Menzel together in a duet with Michael Buble? Good idea. Have them sing a classic tune like "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Yeah, that works. When you make the video? Cast a bunch of kids in big person outfits and settings. And you might just have the cutest darn video ever. Well, of the year, anyway. The singing's great - the kids are great too. And don't worry - Idina and Michael make a quick cameo appearance. Don't blink!

Best Buddies
These 6 best buds took a fun picture almost 20 years ago in Los Angeles, CA. They were only 10 years old. From left to right: Matt Gruber, Joel Atia, Mykil Bachoian, Kevin Opos, Ben Danon & Aviv Edelstein is in the front. When they turned 17, before leaving for college, they thought it would be fun to recreate the same pose as a joke. And, just a few weeks ago, they did it again to celebrate Kevin's 29th birthday. Almost 20 years late. Can't wait to see the next pose boys! "Best Buddies at 10, 17 and 29 years old," Kevin Opos (second from the right in the back row).

Don't Be Thor, Bro
It's official. People magazine has announced its Sexiest Man Alive for 2014. The envelope, please? It's Chris Hemsworth, perhaps best-known for playing Thor in the movies based on the Marvel comics superheroes. He was also the Huntsman in Snow White & the Huntsman, and should not be confused with his brothers, Liam Hemsworth (center), of Hunger Games fame or Luke (left), although that's bound to happen. They're all big and hunky, and arguably Australia's best recent exports. But, when it comes to this award, it looks like the brother with the bigger hammer wins.

Sure, This Will Get You Another Kiss
Liam Hemsworth was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the other night, and fielded some questions from the Twitterverse. Some of the answers were telling: favorite movie is Titanic; teenage crush was Alyssa Milano; and his high school photo was pretty geeky. But the best answer: what he really thought about kissing his castmate in The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence. Watch it for yourself - why should I spoil the fun?

Best/Worst Family Feud Responses
One of the best ways to watch Family Feud these days is to wait for the silliest clips to make their way to YouTube. Steve Harvey was on Late Night with Seth Myers this week, and Seth got him to talk about some of his favorite worst answers on the show. Steve confirms something I've always thought - there's a lot more happening on those shows that we don't see. I'd much rather see an unedited version of the show - are you listening, HBO? Showtime? Maybe Netflix?

Best Butt Joke Yet!
Since Kim Kardashian's attempt to break the internet failed last week with the photo of her giant gleaming butt on the cover of Paper magazine, there's been all sorts of fun poked at her backside. Memes choked most Facebook feeds. Until today, my favorite was the one that put Kim's body on the backside of a horse - sort of a talentless minotaur. But that was then. This is now. An artist named Olga Andriyenko has created a masterful parody of Kim's photo - drawing Ursula the Sea Witch in a similar pose on the cover of Water magazine, with the caption that reads "Break the Ocean." Simply hilarious. Check it out here. And while it's a cartoon, I wouldn't call it safe for work - you are warned!

The nuclear renaissance might be postponed, but technologies continue advancing. The next generation of plants will apply innovation for safety, efficiency, and modularity.
Spent-Fuel Fedcorp
The Blue Ribbon Commission's best answer for the nuclear waste dilemma.
power plants, favors the fedcorp model (See "Rethinking Spent Fuel," February 2011) . Some prominent state regulators are on the record supporting a fedcorp, including Michigan Public Service Commissioner Greg White; and of course the current chairman of the House Energy Committee co-sponsored the Voinovich bill.
However, by itself, a federal corporation structure shouldn't be considered any guarantee of success, as the failures and foibles of some federal entities have illustrated. The U.S. SynFuels Corp. of the early 1980s provides an instructive example. The project to produce synthetic fuels, primarily from coal, lost its mission when its primary driving force vanished— i.e., the energy crisis ended, and petroleum prices dropped below the cost of the new fuels to be produced. And another example, Amtrak, continually suffers from the uncertainties of annual congressional appropriations.
There are, however, successful examples of corporations created as public entities with policy direction from Congress, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) or more recently the U.S. Enrichment Corp. (USEC)—which was formed by the federal government in the early 1990s, and privatized in 1998.
Both successful and unsuccessful examples provide useful lessons. Several key steps stand out as being critically important in the effort to create a successful fedcorp to manage spent nuclear fuel.
Step 1: Policy Mandate
A central question for any new government corporation involves resolving how policy is set, and what functions and responsibilities accrue to the entity. In short, would the fedcorp be expected to craft policy on managing spent fuel, or would it receive such policy from the government?
Jack Bailey, TVA's director of nuclear operations, argues that Congress and the administration—and not the board of a nuclear fedcorp—must bear the responsibility to establish America's spent-fuel policy.
"We wouldn't advocate that this fedcorp in any way establish policy," Bailey says. "They are merely a tool to implement policy. That direction comes from the administration or the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, or some other legislative vehicle to establish overall policy."
Bailey does, however, specify functions to be carried out by the fedcorp. "The [fedcorp's] board—and the management that it would hire—need the flexibility to implement policy as best they see fit, and to manage the money that's put into the fund in a way that's most efficient toward achieving the results of the corporation."
In other words, the fedcorp's mandate should be firmly established—but it should also give the fedcorp the flexibility it needs to get the job done right.
Step 2: An Independent Board
Like any successful corporation, a nuclear waste fedcorp would need strong governance and management expertise. "The board structure needs to include people who understand business," Bailey says. "It can't all be political appointees, for example, who have really no knowledge or interest in the business."
Additionally the fedcorp board should include representation from major stakeholder groups, who will ensure the corporation is directed and managed in an independent way. According to Bailey, TVA has been most successful "when the board has had the ability to act on behalf of its mission without having to worry about a lot

Hello Photography Community,
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the newly announced Nikon D5200. No matter how hard, I'm going thru the specs, I really see no reason to get out and buy this DSLR. Get yourself the Nikon D3200 instead and save 300 bucks. This DLSR is just a mere marketing-iteration.
I've prepared an Excel comparison sheet. So look for yourself :
Plus, I've talked to a Nikon Rep at the "Salon de la Photo 2012" in Paris yesterday, and he confirmed, that it had the same sensor as the Nikon D3200.
Else, if you really want to make a giant intelligent leap forward, get the Nikon D7000, and you'll get the best you can imagine on an APS-C DSLR.
Take Care ya'll
