H.I.F.

As long as I'm mentioning podcasts, I should mention this recent episode of Econtalk: [The Sports Gene](http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/09/david%5Fepstein%5Fo.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). One of the best episodes of the year. Excerpt: At "6'10", you have a 3.2% chance of being a current NBA player--if you are a man between ages 20 and 40; and at 7 feet, there is no percentile from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) data that I was using at 7', because no 7-footer has shown up in any of their surveys of thousands and thousands of people . . . but if you follow the curve--and I make it clear that it's an estimate--it suggests that if you know a 7-foot man in America who is between the ages of 20 and 40, he has a 17% chance he's in the NBA right now."
