News/Gatherings: September 8

What the experts chose for their kids’ education — Their answer? No schooling. Or rather, unschooling. Interesting concept on education, although I’d imagine you’d have to do some pretty extensive work to match the social skills that the standard education system provides.

The Breathalyzer Behind the Wheel — You know what? They work.

Barefoot Running — “Wearing running shoes probably reduces performance and increases the risk of injury.” Add this to my list of reasons why I refuse to buy running shoes. (Or that I’d rather be swimming…)

The 10 most common strategic blunders? — from the Foreign Policy magazine: “6. Making false presumptions about one’s own competence or the likely causal linkages between one’s strategy and one’s goals.”
