Stolen Bases Leaders: 2015 MLB Season

Of course I had to do an article about baseball, seeing as how my fiance played professionally and he has a few stolen bases in his day.  No, he is definitely not on this list, or any previous lists.  But, this is the 2015 record for the players with the most stolen bases.  A player can obtain a stolen base by running to the next base while the ball is still in play, trying to get there without being thrown or tagged out, resulting in an out.

CHARTS: The (Literal) Shapes of Presidential Candidates' Donations

This article is all about which presidential candidates have the most donations, have one time high dollar donations, and who rely on the smaller yet significant donations that still greatly impact their campaign.  There are several different charts explaining how the candidates are doing financially and who is more or less the most supported.  Some charts include the millionaire-fueled candidates, the hangers on, the self-funders, and total+ super PAC donations.

Sierra Snowfall



My family is from Sacramento, so I have snowboarded in the  Tahoe area for a long time, The last few years have been very depressing, with very little snowfall.  This is a chart of the snowfall of the Sierras over the last 125 years or so.  Some of the mountains include echo, mt Shasta, tamarack and Donner.  For the most part it has stayed pretty consistent in snowfall, but there have been some ups and downs.
