- Physicist and stunt rider create World's first 'Einstein Flip'
In the stunt, 18-year-old Wallace, a competitor in extreme sports events around the world, launched off a six-feet high ramp and spun backwards through 360 degrees while simultaneously folding his bike underneath him in a move known to BMX devotees as a ‘tabletop’. At one point, onlookers saw Wallace upside down, travelling at 15mph, with his head 12-feet off the floor.
Czerski, a keen sportswoman and diver herself, said: “I spent a lot of time looking at the physics behind various stunts, trying to understand the limits of what is physically possible to determine how far we could push the parameters with our new creation. I then tested our ideas using a computer simulation to plot a new stunt.”
The stunt draws upon a variety of physics theories including the conservation of angular momentum and Newton's laws of motion.

A Star Isn't Born
The New York Times > New York Region > The City
By DANA KENNEDY
On a Monday evening not long ago, dozens of hopeful young performers, guitars in hand, streamed into the Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village for the club's weekly open-mike night, the Antihoot. Among them was a 34-year-old singer-songwriter named Ruth Gerson, a striking, dark-haired woman with a rock-and-roll belter's voice.

The CEO's Path to the Top: How Times Have Changed
Knowledge@Wharton
In a new study that compares Fortune 100 executives in 1980 with their counterparts in 2001, Peter Cappelli, director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, and colleague Monika Hamori document what many CEOs and other senior managers have no doubt already witnessed: The road to the executive suite and the characteristics of the executives who get there have changed significantly over the last two decades. Among the researchers' findings: Today's executives are younger, more likely to be female, and less likely to have Ivy League educations. They get to the executive suite faster than ever, hold fewer jobs along the way, spend about five years less in their current organization before being promoted, and are more likely to be hired from the outside.
