Helly Hansen Women's Eir Snow Boot,Wheat,8.5 M
$109.95
I ordered these boots in a size 5.5 just in time for the first big winter storm in Denver. The foot bed fit perfectly for my foot, although the sides of the boots did need to stretch a bit in order to get them to zip up easily. This happened rather quickly, and the boots work wonderfully with a thin ski sock. The boot is also VERY warm and dry. I managed to stand around the dog park in about two feet of snow for well over an hour without getting cold or wet feet. My biggest pet peeve in the snow is having wet feet/legs, but that is a thing of the past with these boots and really is what earned the boot five stars in my opinion. To sum it up, if you have small, square shaped feet, give these boots a shot! I was completely surprised by the fit and comfort, and am now sad at the 70 degree days we are having because I have to wear shoes that are less comfortable.

Mathletics: How Gamblers, Managers, and Sports Enthusiasts Use Mathematics in Baseball, Basketball, and Football
$29.95
Should a basketball team down by two with seconds to go try to tie the game with a two-pointer or attempt to win it with a three? Are football teams too conservative when deciding whether to go for it on fourth down? How efficacious are sacrifice bunts in baseball when there is a man on first and no one out?

In "Mathletics", Wayne Winston uses mathematics to examine these and many, many more situations in baseball, football, and basketball. The author comes to many conclusions that are against current sports conventional wisdom. Some of the other more interesting questions Winston addresses are whether Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak is the all-time greatest sports record, whether college basketball games are fixed, whether the NFL or NBA has greater parity, which sports collapses are the greatest, and whether another system to determine a college football champion would be better than the current BCS.

Some of the math in the book is too advanced even for someone who took college algebra, but someone who did well in college algebra and is familiar with some concepts in statistics such as standard deviation will be able to understand much of the math the author uses to reach his conclusions. Any serious sports fan, however, would enjoy reading the book just to see the conclusions the author arrives at concerning three of America's most popular sports.
