Kim Jong Il may be preparing to hand his luckless country over to his luckless son

NORTH KOREANS are by and large hungry, oppressed压迫, cloistered and treated as infants. But they have one powerful stimulant to keep them going: the outsized cult狂热的崇拜 of hero worship surrounding their pot-bellied ruler统治者, Kim Jong Il.

That is why outsiders will strain next week for a glimpse into the hermit fief to see if Mr Kim uses the Korean Workers' Party's first gathering in 30 years to designate指派 his third son, Kim Jong Un, as his heir.继承人 Whatever he does, the issue of succession接替 is likely to escape the secrecy in which it has been wrapped for decades. For all the peephole excitement of watching a real-life "Dynasty" in one of the world's darkest places, the transition could produce some dangerous moments-and not just on the peninsula, but also for China, North Korea's sole唯一的 remaining protector.
 原来中国是朝鲜的保护人？ 为毛？

The older Kim, who has been in power since 1994, may be frail虚弱的, but it is not clear that he is yet ready to anoint his twenty-something, basketball-loving boy, even though he has been called a chip off the old block. Unlike the father, who was groomed as dictator-in-waiting for over a decade, his third son's existence is still officially unacknowledged不被承认的. Reportedly据报道 there is a trite song, called "Footsteps", in his honour, and a glowing published tribute to his "excellence both in the arts of pen and sword". But his qualifications for running a derelict country with a nuclear arsenal and one of the world's five biggest armies are seriously in doubt.
    ...表示为什么被遗弃...

It is thus possible that the conference may pass with barely a word about succession. Yet even in a country as batty as North Korea, it would be odd to throw a lavish get-together of the main party hacks for no reason. Even if it is a charade of a ballot投票, it is probably sensible to assume that the stated purpose of "electing" (read rubber stamping) a "supreme leadership body" is important, and that some sort of profound, if hesitant犹豫的, handover of power is under way 进行中(see article).

If this is true, North Korea's neighbours should brace防备支撑 themselves for a rough ride艰难时期. The omens征兆 for a seamless transition are not good. Since last year the regime has imposed, then swiftly abandoned, draconian currency reforms改革. The torpedoing of a South Korean naval vessel in March, which the Seoul government blamed on the Pyongyang regime, caused an international outcry强烈抗议，公开反对 that led to further efforts to isolate it economically. Earlier this month the party conference was mysteriously postponed推迟 for a few weeks. Behind these events some detect a power struggle between or within the party and the army that has been going on ever since Kim senior suffered a suspected stroke in 2008. If this ever turned into open hostilities敌意, the consequences could be devastating-which is why, however much outside powers want regime change in North Korea, they are right to fear civil war still more.
这些角逐变成公开的树敌的话。 外人虽然强烈希望如此，但是他们也害怕可能引发的内战。

A collapse in North Korea could leave South Korea and China, its immediate neighbours, facing a refugee难民 crisis. The entire region's economic boom could be thrown off course. There is even a risk that China and America would find themselves supporting opposing sides in a conflict that could involve nuclear weapons. Against that risk, the appointment of a clueless dauphin as the next leader might not be so bad, if his membership of the Kim clan enabled him to hold the country together. He may anyway be put under the stewardship of his powerful uncle, Chang Sung Taek, to ensure continuity. But if such a transition is to do anything for the region's long-term health, the outside world needs to rethink its approach.

Awkwardly for the West, China has the greatest leverage力量, thanks to its unseemly haste to invest in North Korea's mines and ports. But China seldom uses it. On the older Kim's two train trips to China this year, it pointedly refused to criticise the regime over the sinking of the South Korean ship. The Chinese put stability above all else, which gives Pyongyang an excuse to maintain the repressive status quo. That could prove dangerously short-sighted if the inflexible regime ever snaps.
我也不爽...

Other countries, including South Korea, America, Russia and Japan, must also prepare for the worst. But they might also consider the possibility that a young Kim would be more open to reform. They could again promise cash in exchange for meaningful nuclear disarmament, and make every effort to engage him. It would be based only on a tiny hope,because it would take a miracle for the son to step out of the father's shadow. But if he does not, North Korea is ultimately doomed. And the grandson of the Great Leader and son of the Dear Leader would deserve nothing but a woeful sobriquet: Dear God.

UCLA physicist dishes on his work as science consultant for 'The Big Bang Theory'

"Battlestar Galactica" is over. "Numb3rs" tanked. But there's still "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS, a sitcom featuring the daily dust-ups of four young physicists and their blonde waitress friend, if you must have science mixed into your small-screen fare.

"It's not Hollywood, it's Burbank," physicist David Saltzberg explained to a crowd of 150 or so people Friday night at the "Communicating Science to the Public through the Performing Arts" conference at the City University of New York's Graduate Center. He described what it's like to be the on-set science consultant for Big Bang Theory, which is taped in a studio in Burbank.

Saltzberg takes a break for a few hours weekly from his job at UCLA to make sure that the show's 12 writers get their portrayal of science and scientists right in BBT episodes. He blogs about the experience at The Big Blog Theory. His curriculum vitae includes a two-year stint at Fermilab Tevatron. Currently, he is involved in high-energy particle physics and high-energy neutrino astronomy using radio telescopes. His work on the ANITA project has included three successful scientific balloon flights in Antarctica and he is working with the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

BBT writers actually know a lot of physics, (and BBT executive producer Bill Prady is a former software engineer so he speaks geek) but sometimes they need Saltzberg to correct their cosines to sines, and their miles per hour to feet per second.

There are parallels between Saltzberg's day job and his side job, he says, adding that "comedy is an experimental science." The show is taped in front of a live studio audience. If the audience doesn't respond to a laugh line, the writers immediately rework the script to make it work.

Saltzberg contributes the equations and diagrams that viewers see on whiteboards that Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj puzzle over, including a board that featured top quark equations that the real physicist had worked on as a post-doc. An image of that board went viral, he says.

Saltzberg loans equipment and brings a "geek of the week"—one of his students—to the set each week, and makes sure that the writers and actors get to see the real academic world too, including the apartments of physics graduate students and post-docs. The initial portrayal of these dwellings was "too gloomy and depressing" for TV, Saltzberg says, and the set designers decided to brighten things up after the first pilot.

Various sci-tech luminaries have made cameos on the show including Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak and Nobel laureate George Smoot.

Dialogue, character development, story creation and jokes are left to the real writers. On a few occasions early on, Saltzberg offered what he thought were funny ideas for the show to the writers. Here is the reaction he would get: "Sometimes I'm at a party and someone wants to tell me their new theory of gravitation, and you're like, 'I wish this person would stop talking to me.' That's the sort of look they gave me."

But a few hints were dropped Friday night about future BBT plot points: think extrasolar planets, the metric system and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

BBT is the No. 2 comedy on TV now and reaches 15 million viewers each week, so Saltzberg sees it as an excellent way to entice viewers to learn more and become fans of science, students of science or even scientists.

And if the show gets science details a little wrong now and then, that's not a tragedy, Saltzberg says. Viewers should contact the writers on Twitter, or complain on imdb.com or televisionwithoutpity.com. "I don't think we have to be the science police in these things," he said.
