No. 10/11 Kansas State (19-5, 8-3 Big 12) plays the first of back-to-back home games in a three-day period on Saturday, as the Wildcats play host to the Baylor Bears (16-8, 7-4 Big 12) at Bramlage Coliseum at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU with Brad Sham (play-by-play), Bob Valvano (analyst) and Jason King (sideline reporter) on the call. K-State saw its four-game winning streak end on Monday night, as the No. 14/13 Kansas completed the season sweep with an 83-62 win at Allen Fieldhouse. With the loss, the Wildcats dropped into a three-way tie for first place with Kansas and No. 17/16 Oklahoma State with an 8-3 league record, while Baylor and Oklahoma are just one game back in fourth place with 7-4 marks. The Big 12's Top 7 teams are separated by just three games with seven games to go in the regular season. The Wildcats return home to Bramlage Coliseum, where they have won 13 of their last 14 games and boast a 12-1 record this season. The team saw its 11-game home winning streak end in a 59-55 loss to No. 3/2 Kansas on Jan. 22, but have since posted wins over Texas and Iowa State.
Kansas State University began celebrating its sesquicentennial Feb. 14 with a kickoff event looking back at 150 years of colleges, academic departments and other facets of university life. The year-long celebration started with a kickoff and grand exhibition at Ahearn Field House, which included the official 150th program headlined by Govenor Sam Brownback and University President Dr. Kirk Schulz. The university will celebrate Founder's Day at Saturday's game with several special activites and presentations. Fans can keep up with all the activities for 150th anniversary at www.k-state.edu/150 as well as on Twitter at @KState150.
K-State moved up in both major polls on Feb. 11, jumping three spots to No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll and four spots to No. 11 in the USA Today Coaches poll. It marks the eighth straight week that the Wildcats have been ranked in the AP poll, while the No. 10 ranking is the highest in the AP poll since also placing No. 6 on Dec. 13, 2010. The program has now been ranked in the AP poll at least one week in each of the last four seasons. K-State is 248-94 (.725) all-time as a ranked team.
Baylor (16-8, 7-4 Big 12) enter Saturday's game on a two-game winning streak after posting home victories on Texas Tech and West Virginia in the past week. The Bears are averaging 75.5 points on 45.6 percent shooting, including 34.8 percent from 3-point range, while holding opponents to just 63.2 points on 39.9 percent shooting, including just 29 percent from beyond the arc. The squad ranks among the leaders in several statistical categories, including second in scoring offense, scoring margin (+12.3), field goal percentage, assists (15.8), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3), 3-point field goal percentage defense and third in rebounding (39.0). Big 12 Player of the Year candidate Pierre Jackson paces three players in double figures with a league-best 18.9 points per game with a team-best 58 3-pointers, while dishing out a league-high 6.2 assists per game. Freshman of the Year candidate Isaiah Austin averages a near double-double with 13.6 points and team-best 9.3 rebounds per game, while junior Cory Jefferson also is near a double-double average with 12.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game to go with a team-best 47 blocked shots. Long range specialist Brady Heslip adds 8.8 points per outing, including 54 3-pointers. Head coach Scott Drew has a 193-143 record in his 11th season as a head coach, including a 173-132 mark in 10 seasons at Baylor. He is 5-7 all-time vs. K-State.
No. 12/11 Baylor connected on 56.9 percent from the field, including 62.5 percent in the second half, as the Bears posted an 82-74 win over K-State in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship in the teams' last meeting on March 8, 2012. The teams split their two regular season meetings with each posting a win on the other's home court. Perry Jones III paced five Bears in double figures with 31 points, while Jordan Henriquez led the Wildcats with 22 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks.
This will be the 27th meeting between K-State and Baylor with the Wildcats holding a 14-12 lead in a series that dates back to 1948 NCAA Tournament. The Bears hold a slight 11-9 edge in the series since the start of Big 12 play with the teams splitting the last 10 meetings. K-State is 8-5 all-time at home in the series, but Baylor has won five of the nine meetings at Bramlage Coliseum since the start of Big 12 play. This will be the first meeting for head coach Bruce Weber against Baylor in his career.
--Kansas State's 19-5 start is the seventh-best start in school history after 24 games and the best since the 2009-10 team went 20-4. The 1958-59 team posted the best start after 24 games (23-1), while the 1950-51, 1957-58 and 1961-62 squads were just one game back at 21-3 and the 1947-48 team went 20-4. The 8-3 start to Big 12 play ties two others for the best since the league's inception in 1997 and the best since the 2009-10 team also went 8-3. The eight league wins already surpass any single conference season from 1997-2006. The last team with a better start to league play was the 1973-74 squad, which went 10-1 to begin Big Eight play. K-State saw its season-best eight-game winning streak end vs. No. 3/2 Kansas on Jan. 22, which was the longest winning streak since the team won 10 in a row from Nov. 21, 2009 to Jan. 3, 2010. Four of the five losses are to current Top 15 teams in No. 3/3 Michigan, No. 14/13 Kansas (twice) and No. 6/6 Gonzaga. The team faced three Top 15 teams (No. 4 Michigan, No. 14 Gonzaga and No. 8 Florida) in non-conference play for the first time. K-State posted double-digit non-conference games for the seventh straight season, including its first regular-season Top 10 non-conference win (No. 8 Florida) since 1981.
--Bruce Weber's 19-5 record is the second-best start by a first-year K-State head coach in its 109-year history with only Zora Clevenger (15-2, 1916-17) posting a better mark. The best campaign by a first-year coach is still held by Clevenger, who led the Wildcats to a 15-2 mark in 1916-17. The eight-game winning streak (Dec. 18, 2012-Jan. 19, 2013) was the second-longest by a first-year coach and the longest since Clevenger's 1916-17 squad ended the year with 13 straight wins. Only three first-year Wildcat coaches have won 20 games, including Bob Huggins (23, 2006-07), Frank Martin (21, 2007-08) and Lon Kruger (20, 1986-87).
--K-State is having a terrific start to the 2012-13 athletics season, as the Wildcats have one of the best records among BCS schools when combining football and men's and women's basketball. As of Wednesday, the school's 43 wins tie for 17th nationally and its .705 winning percentage (43-18) places 20th. K-State is one of 20 schools (along with Big 12 brethren Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State) with 40+ combined wins among its three major sports. If you take into account the success of the volleyball team, which won 20 matches and advanced to NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats are 64-27 (.703) since August 24.
--K-State has built a solid resume, as the Wildcats boast a No. 22 RPI in the latest ESPN rankings. The squad is one of five Big 12 schools in the Top 50 of the ESPN RPI, including Kansas (9), Oklahoma (18), Oklahoma State (26) and Iowa State (37). K-State is one of just four teams with four wins over Top 35 RPI teams, along with Kansas, Indiana and Miami (Fla.).
--The Wildcats have been one of the best in February the last five seasons, posting a 28-7 (.800) mark in the month since the 2008-09 season, including a 14-3 mark at home. Three of the seven February losses have come to Kansas (2009, 2012, 2013).
--The three-man senior class of Jordan Henriquez, Martavious Irving and Rodney McGruder could be one of the best-ever in school history. The trio currently boast a 93-35 (.727) record during their playing careers, which ranks sixth on the all-time wins list by a class. They are four wins away from posting the most wins by a senior class in school history (96 by Victor Ojeleye and Jamar Samuels, 2008-12). They are the fourth straight senior class to tally 90 or more wins in their career.
--Fourteen of the 24 games have been at home (including a home game vs. No. 8/9 Florida in Kansas City's Sprint Center), where the Wildcats have won 14 of their last 15 home games, including 13 of 14 at Bramlage Coliseum. The team's 12-game overall home winning streak and 11-game streak at Bramlage ended in a 59-55 loss to No. 3/2 Kansas. The 11-game streak tied three other teams for the fourth-longest in the arena's 25-year history, including the longest since winning 14 in a row in 2011-12.
--K-State is 5-2 in road games this season, winning at George Washington (65-62), West Virginia (65-64), TCU (67-54), Oklahoma (52-50) and Texas Tech (68-59) to go with losses at Iowa State (73-67) and Kansas (83-62). The loss at Hilton Coliseum snapped the Wildcats' six-game winning streak in road games, including five-game streak in Big 12 play, which dated back to last season and was the longest since 2010. The Wildcats have improved their play on the road in the Big 12, posting a 28-26 record over the past seven seasons (which began in 2006-07) after winning just 10 of 80 road games in the league's first 10 years (1997-2006).
--K-State received its first national ranking of the season on Dec. 24, appearing at No. 25 in the AP Top 25, and earned its best ranking at No. 10 on Monday. The No. 10 ranking is the highest since checking in at No. 6 on Dec. 13, 2010. The Wildcats improved to No. 10 in the AP poll and No. 11 in the USA Today Coaches poll on Feb. 11, which marked the sixth straight week the team has been ranked in both polls. The Wildcats have a 248-94 (.725) record as a ranked team since first being ranked in 1949-50.
--K-State ranks in the Top 50 in eight categories, including 20th in scoring defense, 22nd in assist-to-turnover ratio, 29th in assists, 34th in 3-point field goal percentage defense, 39th in scoring margin, 46th in turnovers per game and rebound margin (5.2) and 47th in turnover margin. Angel Rodriguez (2.36) ranks 41st nationally and tops in the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio. The Wildcats place in the Top 5 in 14 of 21 Big 12 categories, including tops in assist-to-turnover ratio and second in scoring defense, turnover margin, 3-point field goal percentage and offensive rebounds. In Big 12-only games, the squad ranks first in field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, assists, turnover margin and assist-to-turnover and second in 3-point field goals.
--The Feb. 2 meeting with Oklahoma marked the 11th time K-State has faced a former head coach (Tex Winter, Lon Kruger and Bob Huggins) with the Wildcats winning four (including three this season) of those occurrences. Prior to the win over West Virginia and the two over Oklahoma, the last victory over a former head coach came in a 95-80 win over a Kruger-coached UNLV squad on Dec. 12, 2009. The team will play at least one more such game (West Virginia at home on Feb. 18) this season. K-State lost twice to Winter (Washington in 1971 and Long Beach State in 1978), while the Wildcats are now 4-4 against Kruger in his stops and 1-1 against Huggins at West Virginia (2011, 2013). Interestingly enough, the Wildcats are 6-0 against head coaches prior to them coming to K-State. The school went 1-0 against Winter at Marquette (1953), 3-0 against Jack Hartman at Southern Illinois (1964, 1968 and 1969), 1-0 against Kruger at Texas-Pan American (1986) and 1-0 against Huggins at Akron (1988).
--The 67-61 win over No. 8/9 Florida in the Hy-Vee Wildcat Classic on Dec. 22 was the first regular-season, non-conference Top 10 victory since knocking off No. 8 Minnesota at home, 62-52, on Dec. 21, 1981. Overall, it was the 12th non-conference Top 10 win (and first since defeating No. 3 Purdue, 73-70, in the 1988 NCAA Tournament), including the seventh in the regular season.
--K-State had a tremendous semester in the classroom, as the team had a cumulative 2.839 GPA (the highest in 12 years) during the Fall 2012 semester. A program-best eight players - Adrian Diaz, Rodney McGruder, Angel Rodriguez, Brian Rohleder, Ryan Schultz, Shane Southwell, Will Spradling and Nino Williams - were named to the Fall Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll on Jan. 9. Rohleder was one of 31 student-athletes to post a perfect 4.0 GPA during the semester.
K-State has proven to be a balanced team across the board with eight players averaging four or more points, including just two in double figures, and five averaging three or more rebounds per game. Senior Rodney McGruder (15.2 ppg., 4th in Big 12) and sophomore Angel Rodriguez (10.2 ppg.) are the only Wildcats averaging in double figures, while three others - Will Spradling (8.4 ppg.), Shane Southwell (7.9 ppg.) and Thomas Gipson (7.5 ppg.) - are averaging better than seven points per contest. The team has seen nine players collect 67 double-digit scoring games with McGruder (18) leading the way, while the squad has seven players with 45 or more field goals made with McGruder's 138 the most of any player in the Big 12. Only Baylor (10) has more players with double-digit scoring efforts in the Big 12, while K-State joins Iowa State and West Virginia as the only league schools with seven different players with 45 or more made field goals. In all, the Wildcats have had six players lead or share the lead in scoring led by McGruder (12). Gipson (5.4 rpg.) paces the squad in rebounding, while McGruder (5.3 rpg.) and Jordan Henriquez (4.2 rpg.) are also averaging better than four rebounds per game. The team has seen eight players either lead or share the lead in rebounding with McGruder pacing the squad in seven games.
The Wildcats have also been diverse in other categories, including seven players with 10+ assists and eight with 10+ steals. Rodriguez has dished out a team-best 105 assists (58 in Big 12 play) with six players either leading or sharing the lead in assists. Rodriguez also has a team-high 30 steals (20 in Big 12 play), while eight have either led or shared the lead in steals. Four players -- McGruder (31.9 mpg.), Spradling (30.0), Rodriguez (25.5) and Southwell (23.7) -- are averaging more than 20 minutes, while seven others are averaging 10+ minutes. Seven players have at least one start with McGruder and Spradling starting all 24.
The switch to a four-guard lineup has proved to be a pivotal decision by Bruce Weber, as the Wildcats are averaging 67.1 points on 44.9 percent shooting, including 37.2 percent from 3-point range, since making the change 15 games ago. The squad has posted a 12-3 mark in those 15 games, including victories over No. 8/9 Florida, No. 22/21 Oklahoma State, Oklahoma (twice) and Iowa State. Although the team scored nearly 71 points in their first nine games (before the switch), they are shooting nearly five percent higher from the field (44.9 from 40.8), three percent higher from 3-point range (37.2 from 33.3) and posting more 3-pointers (6.8 from 6.0), while dishing out more assists (15.8 from 15.6) and producing fewer turnovers (11.3 from 12.8) in the last 15 games. The Wildcats have connected on better than 45 percent from the field in eight of those games, including 50 percent or better on five occasions, while shooting on better than 40 percent from 3-point range in seven games. Rodney McGruder is averaging five more points per game (17.1 from 11.9) on nearly 10 percent higher field goal percentage (48.5 from 37.8) in the last 15 games, while Shane Southwell has improved his average from 6.3 points in first nine to 8.7 points in the last 15 games.
K-State is starting to find more of an offensive rhythm in Big 12 play, where the Wildcats lead the league in field goal percentage (44.8), 3-point field goal percentage (38.9) and assists (15.4) and are second in 3-point field goals made (7.6) 11 games into the conference season. The squad has connected on 43 percent or better from the field in eight of its 11 league games, including better than 50 percent against West Virginia and Iowa State (twice). The team has shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range in six league games with nine or more 3-point makes in four contests. Rodney McGruder ranks fourth in Big 12 games in scoring (16.9 ppg.), 3-point field goals (2.3) and 3-point field goal percentage (44.6) and sixth in field goal percentage (49.3), while Angel Rodriguez is first in league-only contests in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.8), third in assists (5.3), steals (1.8) and free throw percentage (79.5) and 20th in scoring (10.3 ppg.). Shane Southwell is eighth in 3-point field goal percentage (39.6) and 10th in 3-point field goals made (1.7) in Big 12 games, while Will Spradling is 13th in 3-point field goals made (1.5).
K-State has been solid protecting the ball, as the squad ranks first in the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3) and second in turnover margin (+2.5). Thus far, the Wildcats have produced a Big 12-low 11.9 turnovers per game, while forcing its foes into an average of 14.4 turnovers (fourth-most in the Big 12). The team has 14 or fewer miscues in 18 games, including a season-low six against Texas, while they have forced their foes into 18 or more turnovers six times, including a season-high 26 by Lamar.
Seven Wildcats have posted an even or positive assist-to-turnover ratio this season, including its four primary ball-handlers (Angel Rodriguez, Martavious Irving, Shane Southwell and Will Spradling) combining for 274 assists to 122 turnovers (2.2 ratio). The current ratio for the quartet is a solid improvement after posting a 1.4 ratio (302 assists to 211 turnovers) as a group in 2011-12. Rodriguez (2.3) ranks first in the Big 12 and 33rd nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, while Spradling's team-best ratio (2.7) is outside the minimums to rank. Spradling, who has 64 assists to 24 turnovers, led the team with a 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio a season ago, while Rodriguez has made a notable improvement (105 assists to 45 turnovers) in the area after posting a 1.2 ratio (101 assists to 85 turnovers) as a freshman. Irving has also drastically improved his ratio (1.9 from 1.5) with 49 assists to 26 turnovers, while Southwell has a solid 2.1 ratio (56 assists to 27 turnovers) after posting a 1.6 ratio last year.
Adding to the K-State's balanced attack is the production from its bench, where the Wildcats are averaging 21.7 points, including a 521-382 edge over foes. The team has collected at least 20 points from its bench in 13 games, including a season-high 45 points vs. North Dakota on Nov. 9 and Texas on Jan. 30. Reserves have scored nearly half of the team's points five times this season with Thomas Gipson posting the scoring lead against North Dakota (13), Delaware (12) and Texas (17), while Shane Southwell had a game-high 16 points vs. Alabama-Huntsville and Nino Willams tallied a career-high 17 points against No. 22/21 Oklahoma State. The rebounding leader has come from the bench in 10 games with Gipson posting team-highs vs. Delaware (6), Texas (7) and Iowa State (7). Since moving back to the bench five games ago, Gipson is averaging 10.2 points on 58.3 percent shooting with 5.2 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game. In that same period, Martavious Irving has also provided a lift from the bench, averaging 7.6 points on 48.3 percent, including 61.5 percent from 3-point range, in 18.6 minutes per game. Over 40 percent (363) of the team's rebounding total and nearly 35 percent (531) of the scoring total has come from the bench this season.
K-State is averaging 17.6 personal fouls per game this season, including 18.9 per game in its 11 Big 12 games. Opponents have knocked down 280 free throws in 420 attempts, an average of 11.7 makes per game, with the Wildcats countering with 296 makes on 442 attempts for an average of 12.3 makes per game. The 11 Big 12 opponents have combined to shoot 46 more free throws than K-State (215 to 169), while scoring 144 points (13.1 FT/m) to just 118 (10.7 FT/m) for the Wildcats from the line.
K-State has continued to be one of the best defensive teams in the nation, ranking 20th in scoring defense (59.4), 34th in 3-point field goal percentage defense (30.4) and 47nd in turnover margin (+2.5). In all, the Wildcats rank either first, second or third in five Big 12 defensive categories, including first in rebounding defense, second in scoring defense (58.3 ppg.) and turnover margin (+2.5), third in 3-point field goal percentage defense and rebounding margin (+4.2).
The 1,425 points surrendered through the first 24 games are the fewest in the shot clock era (1985-86) and the fewest since the 1982-83 squad allowed just 1,376 points (57.3 ppg.) through the first 24 games. The current 59.4 points per game scoring average is the third-lowest since 1951 behind only the 1981-82 (56.9 ppg.) and 1982-83 (57.3 ppg.) squads. The team has held 17 of its 24 opponents to 65 points or less, including nine to 55 points or less, while eight have been held under 40 percent shooting from the field and eight to 25 percent or less shooting from 3-point range. The defensive effort has been even better in the first half, as the Wildcats are holding its 24 opponents to just 26.1 points on 38.7 percent shooting, including 29.2 percent from 3-point range. It has held five opponents to 20 points or less in the first half. The team's defense was nearly historic in the 87-26 win over Alabama-Huntsville on Nov. 13, as the 26 points allowed were one shy of the Bramlage Coliseum record of 25 set against Savannah State on Jan. 7, 2008. The Chargers' 16.4 field goal percentage was only surpassed by Savannah State's 15.5 percentage.
A trademark of Frank Martin-coached teams were their ability to score points off of opponent's mistakes and Bruce Weber has continued that legacy. The Wildcats are out-scoring their opponents, 391-279 (an average of 16.3 points per game), through the first 24 games in points off of turnovers. The squad has posted 10 or more points off of miscues in 19 of 24 games, including 20 or more points on six occasions, with a season-best 34 vs. Lamar on Nov. 12. The team has out-scored its 11 Big 12 foes, 188-125 (an average of 17.1 points per game), in points off of turnovers, including 20 or more points in back-to-back wins over TCU and Oklahoma and a near season-best 33-point effort against Texas. They are 14-1 when scoring more points off of turnovers. The Wildcats are out-scoring their opponents, 337-205 (an average of 17.7 points per game), in points off of turnovers in their 19 victories, while are being outscored 74-54 (an average of 10.8 points per game) in points off of turnovers in their five losses.
K-State is forcing its opponents into 14.4 turnovers per game (fourth-most in the Big 12), including a season-high 26 by Lamar, while turning the ball a Big 12-low 11.9 times per game. The 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks 22nd and first in the Big 12 with Angel Rodriguez boasting the league's best assist-to-turnover ratio and ranking 41st nationally. In Martin's five seasons, the Wildcats averaged 18.2 points per game off of turnovers. Nearly 25 percent of the points scored in that period came off of offense generated from miscues. The school has scored 500 or more points off of opponent turnovers in six straight seasons.
Although they have dropped games to No. 3/2 Kansas and Iowa State by a combined 10 points, the Wildcats have been successful in close games this season, posting an 11-2 record in games decided by 10 points or less and a 6-2 mark in games decided by six points or less, including five Big 12 wins. Angel Rodriguez, who knocked down the game-winning free throws in the last five seconds in the win at Oklahoma and was 6-of-6 in the last 2:24 in the win over Iowa State, is tied for the team lead in free throws (21) and is first in free throw percentage (87.5) in the last five minutes of games. Will Spradling, who is also solid from the line in clutch situations (21-of-26 in the last five minutes this season and 79-of-96 for his career), went 10-of-10 from the line in the last 35 seconds in wins over Delaware, George Washington and Texas Southern. Rodney McGruder (12-of-15) and Shane Southwell (8-of-10) have all been solid from the line in the last five minutes of games. In the 65-64 win over West Virginia on Jan. 12, Southwell knocked down two free throws in the last 21 seconds and also blocked the game-winning shot with one second left. With the score tied at 50-all against Oklahoma on Feb. 2, Rodriguez knocked down a pair of game-winning free throws with just 5.6 seconds left. The team also went 9-of-9 from the line in the last five minutes vs. Iowa State.
Rebounding had been a source of strength earlier in the season, but has now become a source of concern since the start of Big 12 play, where the Wildcats rank seventh in rebounding margin (-1.4), eighth in defensive rebounds (20.8), ninth in rebounds (30.6) and 10th in offensive rebounds (9.8). Since switching to a four-guard line-up 15 games ago, the squad is averaging 32.7 rebounds, including 10.7 offensive rebounds, with opponents posting 31.0 rebounds, including 10.3 offensive rebounds. In the team's first nine games, they averaged 42.6 rebounds, including 18.2 offensive rebounds, with its foes posting 34.1 rebounds, including 11.3 offensive rebounds. The Wildcats out-scored their opponents, 153-99 (+54), in second chance points in its first nine games, but has since held been outscored 170-159 (-11) in second chance points in the last 15 games. In its three league losses, K-State has been out-rebounded by 32 (111-79) and allowed 32 more (46-14) second-chance points. In contrast, during the team's recent four-game winning streak, the squad posted a +17 rebounding edge and posted 21 more second-chance points.
K-State still boasts solid overall rebounding numbers, where it ranks second in offensive rebounds (13.5), third in rebounding margin (+4.2) and seventh in rebounds (36.4). Overall, the Wildcats have out-rebounded their foes by a 873-772 margin, including 325-256 on the offensive end. The team is 16-0 this year when out-rebounding its opponent, but just 3-5 when it is out-rebounded. K-State has at least 10 offensive rebounds in 19 games with a season-high 29 against North Florida on Nov. 18.
McGRUDER AMONG ELITE COMPANY
Senior Rodney McGruder (1,393 points & 593 rebounds) became just the 11th player in K-State history to crack the 1,300-point plateau against Kansas on Jan. 22, while also cracking school's all-time Top 10 scoring list. He sits eighth in scoring at K-State after passing Chuckie Williams (1,364; 1972-76) with 22 points against Iowa State. He is now one of just six players in school history with at least 1,300 points and 500 rebounds in a career, joining Rolando Blackman (1,844 points & 607 rebounds), Bob Boozer (1,685 points & 824 rebounds), Cartier Martin (1,546 points & 546 rebounds), Ed Nealy (1,304 points & 1,069 rebounds). He is seven points and seven rebounds from becoming the first Wildcat player with 1,400 points, 600 rebounds and 100 steals.
McGruder ranks in the Top 10 of 12 other career categories, including consecutive starts (91, 3rd), games (124, 4th), 3-point field goals (173, 5th), 3-point field goals attempted (442, 5th), minutes (3,303, 5th), 3-point field goal percentage (39.1%, 6th), starts (91, 7th), double-digit scoring games (75, 7th), consecutive games (100, 8th), field goals (502, 9th), steals (101, 9th) and field goal attempts (1,104, 9th). He ranks in the Top 15 in five Big 12 categories, including field goals (1st), scoring (4th), minutes (8th), 3-point field goals (11th) and field goal percentage (15th). He ranks fourth in scoring in Big 12-only games (16.9 ppg.), while he is also fourth in 3-point field goals and 3-point field goal percentage and sixth in field goal percentage.
McGRUDER NAMED PHILLIPS 66 BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR FOURTH TIME
Senior Rodney McGruder earned Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week honors for the fourth time in seven weeks on Jan. 21 after helping K-State run its winning streak to eight games. McGruder's four Big 12 Player of the Week awards break his tie with Michael Beasley (three, 2007-08) for the most by a Wildcat in a single-season, while McGruder's five overall weekly awards are the most-ever by a K-State player in the Big 12 era. He first won the weekly honor as a junior on Dec. 26, 2011 then this season on Dec. 10 and 24, 2012 and again on Jan. 7. McGruder posted back-to-back 20-point outings for the first time this season, as he averaged a team-best 20.5 points on 55.6 percent shooting (15-of-27), including 46.7 percent (7-of-15) from 3-point range, with 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 36 minutes per game in wins over TCU and Oklahoma. McGruder opened the week with a 21-point effort in a road win over the Horned Frogs then followed with a 20-point outing in a win over the Sooners. He has now collected 20 20-point games in his career with the Wildcats posting an impressive 17-3 mark in those contests.
Junior Shane Southwell has made quite the jump in his productivity in year three, as he is averaging 7.9 points on 44.1 percent shooting, including 41.4 percent from 3-point range, with 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes per game with 15 starts in 22 games played. That production has been even more of factor during the team's last 15 games (of which the team is 12-3), as he is averaging 8.7 points on 40.9 percent shooting, including 38.6 percent from 3-point range, with 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes per game in 15 starts. He ranks second on the team in assists and field goals (47) during that stretch, while he is third in scoring, rebounding, steals and minutes played. Southwell had a huge game in the win against West Virginia on Jan. 12, as he knocked down two free throws in the last 21 seconds to give the Wildcats the lead then blocked the game-winning shot with just one second remaining. After a career-high 19 points against No. 3/2 Kansas on Jan. 22, he posted 11 points against Iowa State on Jan. 26 to give him double-digit points for the 10th time in his career (8 K-State wins), including the sixth time this season. He entered the 2012-13 campaign averaging just 2.5 points on 36.1 percent shooting, including 25 percent from 3-point range, with 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 14.8 minutes per game with 62 games played and 19 starts.
Sophomore Angel Rodriguez has made steady improvement from his freshman to his sophomore season, as he ranks first or second on the team in six categories, including first in assists (105) and steals (30) and second in scoring (10.2 ppg.) and double-figure scoring games (13). He has helped the Wildcats rank first in the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio and second in assists and turnover margin, while he places in the league's Top 10 in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.3, 1st), assists (4.8, 4th) and steals (1.4, 7th) and paces the league in conference-only assist-to-turnover ratio (2.8) and is third in assists (5.3). He has scored in double figures 13 times, including a career-best 20 points against Iowa State on Feb. 9 to go with game-highs against Lamar (19), George Washington (17) and Gonzaga (14). He nearly had his first career double-double against Oklahoma on Jan. 19 with 12 points and a career-high nine assists. In Big 12 play, he has 58 assists to just 21 turnovers, including a remarkable 48 assists to 14 turnovers in the last nine games. He was named to the NIT Season Tip-Off All-Tournament Team after averaging 11 points and 5.5 assists in two games in New York, as the team finished in second place to tournament champion Michigan.
Junior Will Spradling has been a model of consistency from the free throw line, knocking down 42-of-48 opportunities, including going 10-of-10 in the last 35 seconds in wins over Delaware, George Washington and Texas Southern. His effort has raised his career free throw percentage to 83.5 (167-of-200), which is the second-highest in school history behind Steve Henson (90.0; 361-of-401; 1986-90). Spradling has not only been stellar on the free throw line, but he ranks first on the team in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.7). He also places eight in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage (36.6), 10th in 3-point field goals (1.5) and 13th in assists (2.7 apg.). He ranks first on the team in 3-point field goals (37), second in assists (64) and third in scoring (8.4 ppg.), steals (21) and double-digit scoring games (11), while he tallied a season-high 17 points vs. Florida on Dec. 22. Since going scoreless against Kansas on Jan. 22, he has posted double-digit efforts at Iowa State (15), Oklahoma (12) and Kansas (10).
Since returning to the bench five games ago, sophomore Thomas Gipson has become a big presence in the paint for K-State, as he is averaging 10.2 points on 58.3 percent shooting (21-of-36) with 5.2 rebounds in 21 minutes per game. His 21 field goals in that span are tops on the team, while 10.2 scoring average ranks third. He has scored in double figures in three of the five games, including a game-high 17 points against Texas on Jan. 30 to go with a team-high seven rebounds in 21 minutes. Gipson, who had started 13 consecutive games prior to coming off the bench against the Longhorns, posted his individual high in a Big 12 game, while his 16 points against Iowa State gave him double-digits for the ninth time this season. He came into the Texas game on Jan. 30, averaging just 4.7 points on 45.5 percent shooting and 2.8 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game in Big 12 play. He had arguably his best all-around game against Texas Southern on Dec. 18 with 14 points, 12 rebounds and career-bests in blocks (4) and steals (3) in 26 minutes. It marked his fourth career double-double, but the first of the season. The 12-rebound effort tied his season-high that he also had against George Washington. He is the team leader in rebounding at 5.4 per game.
Senior Martavious Irving has provided a scoring lift from the bench of late, posting double figures in three of the last four games for the first time in his career. He has scored 10 points each in the two road wins at Oklahoma and Texas Tech to go with another 10 against Iowa State on Feb. 9. In the last five games, he is averaging 7.6 points on 48.3 percent shooting, including a team-best eight 3-pointers on 61.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc, in 18.6 minutes per game. Although his numbers aren't high enough for Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year mention, he has still been one of the major factors for the team's success with 4.8 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game. He is one of five players with 20+ 3-pointers.
After playing in just 15 games his first season (including a medical redshirt in 2010-11), sophomore Nino Williams is starting to emerge as an impact player for K-State. He has played in 23 of 24 games with the third-most starts (11), averaging 4.7 points on 45.6 percent shooting (47-of-103) with 3.7 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game. He had career week in wins against South Dakota and No. 22/21 Oklahoma State, in which, he averaged 16.5 points on 66.7 percent shooting with 6.0 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game. He tallied a career-best 16 points vs. South Dakota on 7-of-10 field goals before eclipsing that mark with 17 points off the bench against OSU on 7-of-11 field goals. If you include the Kansas City game, he averaged 13.7 points on 51.5 percent shooting with 8.3 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game in a three-game period from Dec. 29 to Jan. 5.
UP NEXT: WEST VIRGINIA (12-12, 5-6 Big 12)
K-State will host former head coach Bob Huggins and his West Virginia (12-12, 5-6 Big 12) team on ESPN's Big Monday at 8 p.m.

Subject: Re: Elder Jacob Miller
Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2005 21:36:28 EST
In a message dated 12/15/2005 8:03:59 PM Pacific Standard Time,
Thank you so much for posting this. How interesting, especially given that
we don't have an anecdote for Rabies even yet today, except the shots. I
wonder what the root was.
Does anyone know which Jacob Miller this was? The one most likely based on
age would be the one who married Elizabeth Metzger and Catherine Zimmerman.
Was he a preacher?
Roberta, Vivian and others,
The Jacob Miller referred to by Dr. Peter Smith could only have been
Elder Jacob Miller of what is now Franklin county, Pennsylvania, later of Franklin
county, Virginia, later possibly of Kentucky[for a short period], before
finally settling in what is today Jefferson township, Montgomery county, Ohio
where he died in 1815.
What intrigues me as a journeyman researcher into the early German
Baptist settlers of the Miami Valley of Ohio, is the reference to Elder Jacob having
been somewhat interested in herbal remedies. Is this a reference to the
"non-Annual Meeting Brethren" thought processes, or could it be just a generalized
reference to the standards of the day whereby each household held to what
would be today "folk-remedies"? I would have to assume that it was the latter of
the two.
It is interesting to note that though Peter Smith is reported to have
entered land in Clark county, Ohio in 1813 this is shortly before the death of
Elder Jacob Miller in 1815. Did they know each other prior to 1813? I could not
see Dr. Smith having heard of Elder Miller while living way up in Clark county
and making a trip through the wilds of the wilderness to where Elder Miller
lived. There is something more to this than meets the eye. Does Dr. Peter Smith
perhaps have a travel itinerary from the lower Sheneandoah Valley or North
Carolina where perhaps he met Elder Miller. Or did Dr. Smith at one time live
nearer to Elder Miller in southwestern Montgomery county, Ohio?
I would be interested in this as I am still looking for the ancestors of
my David S. Smith of the Old German Church in western German township,
Montgomery county. All that is known is that he hails from North Carolina and was
born in 1804. As an attendeee, presumably, at the Old German, or more correctly
the Old Dutch, he would have known, and perhaps attended church, with Chrisitan
Arnold who would later become Elder at the Wolf Creek church.
For those of you who may perhaps descend from Elder Christian Arnold
recent research has shown that he is indeed the same Chrisitan Arnold who was a
Justice of the Peace in western German township of the aforementined county. A
detailed examination of the marriages performed by JP Christian Arnold and
Elder Christian Arnold demonstrates the approximate year in which Christian
changed his allegiance from the possible denomination of Mennonite or Universalist
religion held at the Old Dutch to that of the German Baptists. A study of the
available land records is also helpful in this.

A more than five-year demolition project is over and all the debris is removed from the K-25 building in Oak Ridge.
Demolition of the mile-long, U-shaped structure began in December 2008 at the East Tennessee Technology Park. Crews finished last December, but have been busy clearing the rubble.
Tuesday, they loaded up the last chunk of debris and hauled it away.
The K-25 building played a key part in the Manhattan Project at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
In 1552, in the countryside outside Venice, the great Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio built Villa Cornaro. In 1989, Sally and Carl Gable became its bemused new owners. Called by Town & Country one of the ten most influential buildings in the world, the villa is the centerpiece of the Gables enchanting journey into the life of a place that transformed their own. From the villas history and its architectural pleasures, to the lives of its former inhabitants, to the charms of the little town that surrounds it, this loving account brings generosity, humor, and a sense of discovery to the story of small-town Italy and its larger national history.
Q: You began looking for a second home in New Hampshire. How on earth did that search lead you to a Palladian villa in Italy?
A: First of all, Carl and I didn't really have a consensus about looking for a second home. Since I was born and raised in the White Mountains, and since Carl and the children also loved that part of New England, I had decided that a cottage near Littleton, maybe in Franconia or Sugar Hill, would provide an ideal summer spot. Carl had not agreed with this idea, but he hadn't disagreed either. That was all the commitment I needed.
One Sunday afternoon in April 1987, as I curled up on our living room sofa to begin the New York Times crossword puzzle, I decided to flip through the real estate ads at the back of the magazine to see if any homes in upstate New Hampshire were offered. No luck on that, but another ad caught my eye: An alleged "Palladian villa" not far from Venice, Italy. The attraction was two-fold. First, Carl and I had already made reservations to meet friends from London in the Veneto in June for the precise purpose of visiting some of the Palladian villas. Second, since our trip there two years earlier, Venice was Carl's favorite city. When I showed him the ad, Carl reacted with a disturbing amount of interest and phoned the real estate agent the next morning. Two years of on-and-off negotiations lay ahead.
Q: Why did you buy the villa?
A: This is the question I am asked most often. The answer is necessarily complicated, because I've realized over time that my reasons were several. Yes, I fell in love with the villa immediately, and wholly–emotionally, sensually, intellectually. To contemplate buying it and living there was like being asked to become a princess and live in a fairy tale.
But I was ready to fall in love with an adventurous undertaking. Our youngest child was preparing for college and the older two were off and launched in their lives. My husband had always been totally engrossed in his career and he still traveled a lot.
This villa would– at least initially– be MY adventure: I would be the first to learn Italian, I would be the first to make our home in this new country and become friends with our new neighbors, I would be the first to study this architectural treasure and learn its myriad of secrets. I could escape the totally familiar landscape of Atlanta, where I was
often known as Carl's wife or our children's mother, and create my own world in Piombino Dese. It was the opportunity for a new, fascinating life on my own.
But as I spent more and more time in Piombino Dese– indeed, living in my own world abroad– I realized that one reason I fell in love with the villa is because I felt from the beginning and still believe that the villa needs me, me specifically, to take care of it. To tend to its physical needs, such as a new roof or new electrical switches; but more important, to bring life into it, with visits from family and friends, with concerts for the townspeople, with croquet games in the backyard, with luscious smells emanating from the kitchen. The villa needs me as much as I need the villa.
Q: Was there ever a time (like when you had scorpions as roommates!) that you thought: Oh my goodness, what have we done??? Tell us about some of the more harrowing homeowner experiences.
A: Have you ever seen a scorpion up close? They're really sinister-looking beasts. But they never bothered me that much, because I knew they were basically no more dangerous than a yellow jacket–which we get plenty of in Atlanta. Pigeons are another story: they look nice but are really flying guano machines.
Only twice have I shuddered and asked myself, "Have we acquired a white elephant pastured 5,000 miles from Atlanta? The first was in our early years when I suddenly realized why Giacomo, our part-time custodian, came running over from his cafè every time it rained. Yes, he came to close the shutters on the north windows in order to protect the old panes. But he was also gathering large containers from the basement to place in the upstairs grand salon to catch rainwater streaming down from leaks in the roof. Replacing the roof was a big, immediate, monetary challenge.
Our second major problem was worse. Investigating a mysterious sag in the original terrazzo of the south upstairs porch, Carl and our contractor Angelo discovered that the wooden beams supporting it had mostly turned to dust! We were lucky the whole porch hadn't collapsed on us while we were having an evening prosecco on the porch below. Angelo immediately erected support scaffolding all across the south face of the villa, while we applied to the Soprintendente di Belli Arte's office for a permit to make the repairs. Permission arrived almost one year later. In the meanwhile, we were left to agonize each day over the wound to our beloved villa.
Q: How did the people of Piombino Dese greet the arrival of their newest residents?
A: My introduction to the Piombinese was really quite remarkable, particularly since they have an initial tendency to be cautious with strangers.
Maybe it's because in our first spring there I arrived at the villa entirely alone. A certain circle of women– Silvana Miolo, Bianca Battiston and a few other ringleaders–decided that I must be lonely at the villa by myself, so one evening they planned a welcome-to-town pizza party. There must have been 30 or 40 women there! Some of them are still among my best friends, more than 15 years later. That seemed to break the ice, partly because it put me more at ease. After a while, strangers waiting in line at the butcher shop would offer me recipes. Others would stop me on the street to say that as children they attended the parochial kindergarten that was operated in the villa in the 1950s; they were eager to tell me of their mischievous exploits as students. One day the pilot of an ultralite airplane, someone we had never met, waved at us as he flew by.
Simple curiosity, of course, was a factor in the community's early interest in us. But I think they sensed right away that we wanted to be Piombinese ourselves. We wanted to be neighbors, not just visitors. And, for the most part, that's the way we've been accepted. Don Aldo, the head priest, even publishes our Christmas letter-card in the parish newsletter. The Piombinese seem glad that the villa is in the care of a family. They respect the fact that thousands of people each year visit the Palladian villa in their town. They appreciate the opportunity to visit the villa themselves for concerts and plays. And when, like other local grandmothers, I parade my visiting grandchildren all over town, the Piombinese make the same fuss over them that they do for their own!
Q: It's hard enough maintaining a small apartment, how does one begin to care for a home that includes 104 frescos and 44 pairs of shutters?
A: Wonderful friends help us care for the villa. First come Silvana and Giacomo Miolo, who own Caffè Palladio across the street. In our book we describe Giacomo as our own Figaro because he answers our every need, either himself or by finding the right person to assist us. With their sons Riccardo and Leonardo, Silvana and Giacomo schedule and supervise the visiting tour groups, open and close the villa (and all its shutters), and introduce us to other people we need to know to take care of Villa Cornaro. Riccardo, who was ten when we first arrived in Piombino Dese, is now a graduate student in archeology. He and I correspond via email about the needs of the villa during the winter months. The whole family loves Villa Cornaro as fiercely as Carl and I do, and they are as protective of it as we are.
The contractor who re-roofed the villa and reconstructed the south portico, Angelo Marconato, has become a dear friend. He works with his three sons and is a major builder in our region. We occasionally join him and his wife on Sunday evenings for their weekly family dinner, which with their children and grandchildren brings twenty-two Marconatos and spouses to the table.
Another local friend and his son are our supervising engineers for projects at the villa, and they recommend specialists such as a person to re-create the terrazzo on the south portico exactly like Palladio's original. We also trade war stories with other villa owners, who are very helpful with their suggestions.
Q: You set out to learn much about the history of your home and of the famous architect who built it. Tell us some of the more interesting things you discovered about the villa and about Palladio and the Cornaro family.
A: One of the great satisfactions of our lives in Italy is that we are constantly discovering new things about the villa, about Palladio, and about the Cornaros– I mean, every week, every day.
For instance, this past fall I worked at removing recent whitewash on the walls of two small rooms in the attic. Underneath the paint I discovered fantastic drawings of dragons, duck-like creatures, men in period costumes. One of the dragons was clearly dated 1722! Plus there are many later signatures and dates all the way up to early twentieth century messages by Italian soldiers billeted in the attic during the First World War.
Carl, who has been studying the villa's one hundred and four frescos for years, has just made a breakthrough discovery of the book from which all the Biblical images were taken. And we learn so much from informed tourists who visit the villa. One day a visitor looked at a now-headless statue on the south portico and casually informed us that the subject was a pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela. As proof, she pointed to the shell-like emblem on the figure's lapel. Another visitor has suggested that one of the frescos seems to be painted by a different hand; we're looking into it!
As for Palladio, the depth of his genius greets me each morning at the villa, when I descend the west wooden stairs from our bedroom to the kitchen. Like one of Bach's great fugues, the villa's perfection is realized best by familiarity, by daily study and constant reflection.
The Cornaro family was one of the founding families of Venice and involved in every event in its history. We've just recently made contact with some Cornaros in Croatia who are direct descendants of Giorgio Cornaro, who built our villa. Giorgio's grandson was commander of Venetian forces fighting in present-day Croatia in the 1600s, and we've learned that one of his sons married and remained there. Imagine a family that can trace its own history more than one thousand years.
Of course, Venice itself lies at our doorstep, just 40 minutes away by train. A thousand years is not enough to study all this.
Q: How has owning this villa changed your lives?
A: It seems just yesterday that I drove from Marco Polo Airport, cautiously approaching my new summer house alone for the first time. I did not realize then how profoundly the villa would transform my life, and me. I barely understand it now.
There has been language to learn, of course. It was clear right away that I must speak Italian or I would not be speaking at all. I must learn great chunks of architecture and history, or I would be no more than a camper in my own villa. I must learn more about art, or the train ride into Venice would be pointless. I must plumb new depths of human understanding and candor, or I will never really communicate with my new neighbors. I must find new courage to deal with the unknown and unfamiliar. (But politics? I'm not sure even the Italians understand Italian politics!)
Now I've grown confident in my second world. Villa Cornaro attracts princesses, future first ladies, cabinet members, museum directors, scholars, magazine writers and TV interviewers, and I've found a strength for dealing with it. Venetans have the remarkable ability for celebrating the artistry of every person, for building their confidence to sculpt or paint or learn to play the cello. Or perhaps write a book. This spirit has infected me.
An engaged life in Italy, especially in a Palladian villa, is a life filled with art and history as everyday companions. So today I see the physical world differently from my first arrival at Villa Cornaro. I observe spatial relationships differently; I study the myriad colors in ordinary objects around me; I feel in storms and sunny days the drama of the Italian countryside.
How has owning this villa not changed our lives?
Q: What advice would you give to couples looking to buy a second home, either here or abroad?
A: Do it! Especially if it places you in a different culture, not just a different setting. Especially if you want to expand your life, to challenge yourself. For me, a second home should be a second life, more than just a place to see your same old friends and think your same old thoughts with a different backdrop.
Our time in the Veneto makes me feel 100% alive. It fills me with a need to learn Italian, understand a new culture, study new art, hear new music, watch new birds, see new countryside, learn new recipes. A second home should be relaxing, but I relax best when I'm busy without deadlines, not when I'm idle.

The "Storytelling and Song" program, now in its sixth year, returns for the winter at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa.
The program will open with a ceremonial blessing on Nov. 17. This program aims to share the ancient cultures of the Pima and Maricopa people with Resort and Restaurant guests.
Due to cultural customs the storytelling is only permitted in winter months.
The program features storytellers from the Gila River Indian Community. Enrolled members tell a combination of ancient Pima and Maricopa legends based on desert wildlife, typically with a moral lesson, as well as personal stories about their experiences growing up on the surrounding tribal lands.
Traditional and social songs are also shared during the one-hour presentation. This program, which is appropriate for all ages, was developed and is managed by the resort's cultural concierge, Ginger Sunbird Martin.
"Storytelling and Song" will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday evenings. Beginning Jan. 3, the program will increase to five nights a week and will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday evenings.
The traditional storytelling will open with a ceremonial blessing by featured storyteller and Pima native, Tim Terry, on Nov. 17 and will continue until the closing blessing on the last day of winter in March.
"Storytelling and Song" is open and complimentary to all resort guests and is at the resort's outdoor fire pit.
The event is one of many GeoGreen programs at the Wild Horse Pass Resort.
For guestroom or dining reservations, call (602) 225-0100. For more information, visit www.wildhorsepassresort.com.

Illusionist Accurately Predicts Boilermaker Winners
Utica, NY (WIBX) – A local illusionist stunned the crowd at the Boilermaker post race party, with his accurate predictions of not only the race winners, but their exact times, too.
Illusionist Leon Etienne put the names of the winners in a sealed package at the Mayor's office last week, where it sat untouched until after the race on Sunday.
His predtions were placed inside a briefcase early Sunday morning, and suspended from the stage, by a rope, in mid-air.
Boilermaker Director Tim Reed and Mayor Roefaro lowered the briefcase, opened the package, and announced the predictions of both male and female winners, which were accurate down to the second.
"This is the first time I have pushed my prediction abilities to such a specific magnitude!" said Etienne, "It couldn't have turned out any better!"
Etienne's successful predictions shocked the crowd of around 20-thousand people.

Disturbing the Peace (original 1975; edition 1984)
by Richard Yates
Work details
Disturbing the Peace by Richard Yates (1975)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ok, so I've now read a Richard Yates novel that I didn't like that much. Similar thematically to his other books, but the characters never come to life. If you're interested in Yates, don't start with this one...in fact, skip this one...but read Easter Parade or [b:Revolutionary Road|48328|Revolutionary Road|Richard Yates|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170354199s/48328.jpg|1235136] or A Special Providence or...
Un tassello in un'opera breve, che è quella rappresentata dai pochi perfetti libri di Y. Penso che solo un alcolizzato possa conoscere cosi' bene il mondo degli AA, delle cure, dei deliri, ma sopratutto - aldilà dei fatti - possa annotare le abiezioni che accompagnano la chiara disfatta di Wilder con una partecipazione emotiva così chirurgica che rende il testo l'autobiografia della propria caduta.
A semi-autobiographical story, Disturbing the Peace begins with John Wilder experiencing a mental breakdown from excessive drinking and lack of sleep. He threatens his wife and child and ends up being committed to Bellevue. Exciting! And typical of Yates, there is little empathy for the protagonist, who comes across as a major dick. A womanizing ad salesman who flunked out of Yale because he couldn't read, Wilder is selfish, arrogant, and insecure about his height (he compares himself to Mickey Rooney more than once, which seems as good a reason as any to take up drinking). He attends AA meetings and takes some sort of prescription – it's not clear to Wilder what – but he never stops drinking.
The story derails at some point when Wilder meets an artsy 20-year-old during an outing at a lake with his family. He leaves his wife for the girl and decides to write a screenplay about his breakdown. The novel goes slightly meta as Wilder dramatizes the experience at Bellevue that happened at the beginning of the book. After a second breakdown (based on Yates's real breakdown at the 1962 Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont, which is also repeated in Young Hearts Crying), Wilder tells his doctor that his girlfriend has left him for Bobby Kennedy's speechwriter. Since Yates wrote speeches for Kennedy, it seems that the author stole his protagonist's girl. Or something. After this awkward nod to Postmodernism, we experience Wilder's third and final breakdown.
The novel ends on a surprising note. Yates being Yates, I'm not spoiling anything by saying that it's not a happy ending. What I can say about it is that Wilder comes to realize he cannot deal with the disappointments in his life and surrenders. At that point, whether Wilder continues to drink or not becomes moot.
This is widely considered Richard Yates's weakest novel. While it's solid enough, if you've read Revolutionary Road you'll know why it ranks at the bottom.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385293321, Paperback)
Hailed as "America's finest realistic novelist" by the Boston Globe, Richard Yates, author of Revolutionary Road, garnered rare critical acclaim for his bracing, unsentimental portraits of middle-class American life. Disturbing the Peace is no exception. Haunting, troubling, and mesmerizing, it shines a brilliant, unwavering light into the darkest recesses of a man's psyche.
To all appearances, John Wilder has all the trappings of success, circa 1960: a promising career in advertising, a loving family, a beautiful apartment, even a country home. John's evenings are spent with associates at quiet Manhattan lounges and his weekends with friends at glittering cocktail parties. But something deep within this seemingly perfect life has long since gone wrong. Something has disturbed John's fragile peace, and he can no longer find solace in fleeting affairs or alcohol. The anger, the drinking, and the recklessness are building to a crescendo—and they're about to take down John's career and his family. What happens next will send John on a long, strange journey—at once tragic and inevitable.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:10:02 -0400)
John Wilder is in his mid 30s. He has a good job, a Manhattan apartment, an adoring wife and a ten-year-old son. But something has changed in his life, and he suddenly finds himself slipping into a well of despair.

Sign up for our weekly email * Johnston Press has unveiled plans to convert five of its daily newspapers into weeklies. The Scarborough Evening News, Halifax Courier, Northampton Chronicle and Echo, Peterborough Evening Telegraph and Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph will all make the switch to weekly in May. Johnston said it would also relaunch all of its 170 paid-for titles and websites by the end of 2012 to embrace "platform neutral" publishing. The first phase is focused on Johnston's newspapers in Halifax, Kettering, Northampton, Peterborough and Scarborough. The company said the move was part of plans to create "platform neutral" newsrooms with "significant investment in both print and digital publishing". It is not yet known how many jobs will be cut as a result. Johnston claimed the decision to switch to a weekly would allow "seven days per week publishing online and on a new iPad app with news updates around the clock and comprehensive online sport and events coverage". It said its online offering would be complemented by a "bumper print edition" of the weekly paper and "light touch" re-launch of the website with improved social networking and commenting, Each of the 170 paid for titles are expected to benefit from a "major redesign exercise" as part of the re-launch initiative.

U.S. Fails to Block Antiguan Plans to "Pirate" Content as Retaliation for Trade Abuse
Jason Mick

WTO blesses $21M USD in year in copyright nullification to punish U.S. ban on online gambling
Antigua and Barbuda's online gambling industry was once thriving, employing around 4,000 of the nation's approximately 81,000 citizens. But the industry -- and the island's economy -- was decimated when the U.S. Congress filed rules forcing U.S. internet service providers to
block the island's gambling portals
, all while leaving
similar portals
run by U.S. businesses open. Today, Antigua's gambling industry is only able to employ around 500 citizens.
But the island nation is striking back thanks to a
World Trade Organizatio
n (WTO)
that allows it to essentially engage in for-profit "piracy", to punish the U.S. for its protectionism.
The WTO, an arbitrary panel of the world's nations, had ordered the U.S. to remove blocks on Antiguan gambling sites back in 2005. The U.S.
ignored the order
. Last month the U.S.
deftly managed to shelve a vote
on its "punishment" for the brazen defiance -- a streaming subscription site reselling copyright U.S. works, with the Antiguan government pocketing the profit.
Normally the WTO allows countries to resolve such disputes using tariff increases. But the Antiguan scenario is somewhat unique as the nation is so tiny and the impact so extreme that tariffs would do little to remedy the situation. As a result the WTO allowed Antigua to resell (and effectively infringe on) up to $21M USD of copyrighted work from the U.S. a year. While drastically short of the $3.44B USD in fines Antigua had originally requested, the plan at least is a moral victory for the nation's damaged economy.

The new portal will offer music, software, movies, and TV-shows from the U.S. to people worldwide, but be limited such that the total revenue does not exceed the allowed damages. The WTO and Antiguan lawyers say the site is not "piracy" as it is a legal punishment against the U.S. for unfair trade practices. The U.S. calls the site "government-authorized piracy" in official statements.
Nkenge Harmon, a spokeswoman for the US Trade Representative's office has suggested that there may be "consequences" if the island nation continues its WTO-blessed plan. The spokesperson commented, "The United States has urged Antigua to consider solutions that would benefit its broader economy. However, Antigua has repeatedly stymied these negotiations with certain unrealistic demands."
Harold Lovell, Antigua's Finance Minister, scoffs at such threats, commenting to
, "These aggressive efforts to shut down the remote gaming industry in Antigua has resulted in the loss of thousands of good paying jobs and seizure by the Americans of billions of dollars belonging to gaming operators and their customers in financial institutions across the world."
"If the same type of actions, by another nation, caused the people and the economy of the United States to be so significantly impacted, Antigua would without hesitation support their pursuit of justice."

Kuwait has elected its first female MPs following the oil-rich country's third general election in three years.
US-educated Aseel al-Awadhi and Rola Dashti were among winners in the third district, official results declared.
The 10 leading candidates from each of Kuwait's five electoral districts are elected to the 50-seat parliament.
During campaigning, anti-government feeling among some candidates has moved to a higher level - two people were arrested for criticising the ability of the ruling al-Sabah family to govern.
They still hold the post of prime minister as well as the key defence, interior and foreign affairs portfolios.
Many voters had complained about the frozen development caused by the political gridlock.
"Men don't have credibility anymore. We're fed up with crises." Ibrahim al-Attar told AP news agency after casting his vote for four female candidates.
One of the first tasks awaiting the new parliament will be to vote on a $5bn stimulus package designed to help the financial sector of the oil-rich state cope with the global economic downturn.

Christchurch is located near the middle of New Zealand's South Island, on the East Coast. It is a "Garden City" which some say is more English than England! Excitement is mounting as the countdown to Rugby World Cup 2011 continues.

Tinys on an outing. They take sun protection seriously here. Each school has its own hat for outdoor time.

The River Avon meanders through the city and the world famous Botanical Garden.
We enjoyed a classic "Punting along the River Avon".
Another romantic pair!
Strolling through the heart of Christchurch we did see some evidence of the devastating earthquake of last September, but repairs are ongoing. We stopped for lunch in "The Bog" - mmm - a local specialty, green mussels
Vintage trams circle the inner city - thus the need for this warning sign. (Another reminder of home - the Visitors Center is located at the corner of Worcester Boulevard and Oxford Terrace!)

2nd day tying flies!!
Welp started tying a few flies last night tied a few eggs and some nymphs. Got surprised by a new 8 wt rod so I went to the fly shop today and got some materials for bigger flies. So far I'm loving tying my own flies and can't wait to have stocked shelves of any fly I want!! Here's some pictures
Now I just tied this one I figured out the trick to spinning deer hair and the results look good!!!
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
Looks like we have a natural here folks!.....nice ties streamwalker. :D
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
LOL, and in no time at all, like many of us, especially me, you'll be spending so much on materials that each of the many flies you envision will only be costing you 2 or 3 times what you can buy them for at the discount fly store!
Good for you, they are looking great.
2nd day tying flies!!
Thanks guys!! And yess lol I left the fly shop today with 98$ less in my wallet!! But I got the uv light and glue too which is awesome!
But I wasn't happy with the deer hair on the first 3 but the last 2 have made me happy!
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
Send a dozen my way, I'll show you how good they'll work!
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
Pretty nice flies. :thmbup:
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
Nice flies
Re: 2nd day tying flies!!
These are beautiful.
As you gain experience, you will find ways to reduce the cost of your materials.
I have a heavier rod also, because like you, I pursue fish that get to about 20 pounds etc.
I also rely upon a 6 weight.
Keep tying and you will enjoy it all the more.
2nd day tying flies!!
I'd eat them...
2nd day tying flies!!
Thanks fellas really wanting to make a mouse out of deer hair. Maybe Tuesday when I go back to the fly shop ill get some stuff for one and try it out

The escape of heat from a cooling mass is effected by conduction, or by convection, or by both.
"Yes, it makes its own ventilation; convection," Jacquemont said.
The convection on the contrary should be the smaller, the higher the frequency.
This was placed in the room and provided heat by conduction, convection, and radiation.
This mode of propagation may better be described as a convection of excitation.
But the ocean gathers its heat by convection from the earth.
The tube C is a connecting tube bent downwards so as to prevent the mixing of the solutions by convection currents.
It explains the law of convection, or heat distribution, over the surface of the globe.
This will be composed of a conduction and a convection current, the latter due to rising or falling air currents carrying ions.
Owing, also, to this law of convection, the constituents of the air are equalised.
convection con·vec·tion (kən-věk'shən)
Heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another.
Fluid motion caused by an external force such as gravity.
Current in a fluid caused by uneven distribution of heat. For example, air on a part of the Earth's surface warmed by strong sunlight will be heated by contact with the ground and will expand and flow upward, creating a region of low pressure below it; cooler surrounding air will then flow in to this low pressure region. The air thus circulates by convection, creating winds. See Note at conduction.
The motion of warm material that rises, cools off, and sinks again, producing a continuous circulation of material and transfer of heat. Some examples of processes involving convection are boiling water, in which heat is transferred from the stove to the air; the circulation of the atmosphere of the Earth, transferring heat from the equator to the North Pole and South Pole; and plate tectonics, in which heat is transferred from the interior of the Earth to its surface.

Author's Note:
To have your taskbar centered like in the image above.
All you need to do is unlock the taskbar and right click on it go to toolbars/add new, and them make a new folder somewhere and call it blank for example, then select that folder for your new toolbar.
You then need to right click on the new toolbar and select view text/title and deselect those 2 options now repeat all those steps(you can use the same blank folder again) and place the blank toolbars on either side of your main Taskbar group and slide the taskbar to a central position.
Once you have it where you want lock the taskbar again (note that it move a little when you lock the taskbar so some fine tuning may be needed), and now you have a centered Taskbar.
If you like you can also make the blank folder hidden to remove it from view.
Taskbar will not display middle bar if you have your options set to never combine.
Always combine, hide labels should be selected.
Also if you are using any extra Toolbars you need to make sure they are displaying small icons, but only if you have them all on a single row, if you have your taskbar expanded to 2 bars it will display normally again.

It will either be by way of a new lease or a deed of variation. It should not be that expensive £300-400 + vat approx. The lender will probably require that there standard form Deed of Substituted security is executed and your solicitor will have to get in touch with them.

Once the extension is registered you will be free to remortgage.
The freehold title will be registered at the Land Registry and the conveyancing will be able to download a copy for the sum of £8.00.

Two-Out Sliding Grab Falls Short as Vandy Evens Series
April 28, 2012
NASHVILLE -- After No. 1 Kentucky rallied with three runs in the top of the eighth inning to erase a three-run hole, the Wildcats just missed a two-out sliding grab in rightfield that allowed the game-winning run to score in the bottom of the eighth, with Vanderbilt evening the series with a 4-3 win over the Wildcats, on a steamy Saturday afternoon in front of 2,837 at Hawkins Field.
After Vanderbilt's standout freshman pitcher Tyler Beede, ranked as the top freshmen in college baseball, tossed seven shutout innings in the start, UK pounced on the Vanderbilt bullpen in the eighth inning to erase the 3-0 VU lead with three runs. Vanderbilt then mounted a two-out rally in the bottom of the eighth inning, as Conrad Gregor singled through the infield and Spencer Navin hung a fly ball down the line in rightfield. UK rightfielder Cameron Flynn tracked the ball as it tailed away from him, attempting a sliding grab on the line, with the ball skidding off his glove for the game-winning RBI triple.
Kentucky (36-8, 14-6 Southeastern Conference) suffered the loss on Saturday to even the three-game series with the Commodores. The Wildcats will be seeking their seventh consecutive league series win to open up conference play. The series-finale rubber match is the sixth consecutive UK weekend set to come down to the final game of the series. UK entered the Saturday game holding a one-game lead overall in the SEC and a two-game lead in the Eastern Division.
The Wildcats charted eight hits in the game, with UK getting two hits from Luke Maile and Austin Cousino, with Cousino launching his SEC-leading 18th double of the year. UK also got hits from Thomas McCarthy, Zac Zellers, J.T. Riddle and Michael Williams, with Riddle tying the game in the eighth with a two-out, two-RBI single.
UK starter Jerad Grundy worked 5.2 innings, allowing five hits and three runs, walking one without a strikeout. With runner runners on base and two outs in the sixth inning, Walter Wijas replaced Grundy on the bump, working out of the jam to get the next two outs, before freshman Sam Mahar replaced him in the seventh. Mahar took the loss, allowing the decisive run in 1.1 innings, striking out one. UK also used Chandler Shepherd and Trevor Gott to get out of the eighth inning, with Shepherd allowing the game-deciding hit on the fly ball to rightfield.
Vanderbilt (20-23, 8-12 SEC) starter's Beede was dominating in his eighth career start. The Toronto Blue Jays 2011 first-round draft pick who was ranked as the top freshmen in college baseball in the preseason by Baseball America, worked seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits and four walks, striking out eight. Will Clinard (5-2) took over for Beede to start the eighth, allowing three runs on three hits, striking out two in one inning of work. Jared Miller got the first out in the ninth, before Drew Verhagen picked up the save with the final two outs in the game.
UK will conclude the series on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Hawkins Field. The game will be available on the UK IMG Radio Network, with fans in Central Kentucky able to hear the game live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
Vanderbilt got on the board first with a one-out solo homer into the left-centerfield gap from Spencer Navin in the bottom of the second, his third homer of the year. After getting Chris Harvey to groundout to short for the second out, Connor Harrell singled to leftfield. Vince Conde then smashed a double into the gap to score Harrell for a 2-0 lead.
In the fourth inning, Vanderbilt plated a two-out run to push its lead to 3-0. Conrad Gregor led off with a bloop single into shallow left-centerfield, taking second on a sacrifice bunt from Navin. After a fly ball for the second out, Harrell connected on a two-strike single into centerfield, scoring Gregor.
The Wildcats plated three runs in the top of the eighth inning to tie the game at 3-3. McCarthy led off with a single through the right side, taking second on a wild pitch. Maile then scored McCarthy with a single into the gap in right-centerfield getting moved to second after Flynn was plunked by a pitch. After a strikeout of Zellers, Riddle smashed a two-out, two-RBI single through the left side to tie the game at 3-3.
Vanderbilt took the lead for good in the eighth inning, as Gregor singled through the right side with two outs. Navin then lofted a fly ball down the rightfield line, with Flynn's sliding effort on the line failing as the ball bounced off his glove, with Gregor scoring from first for the game-winning run.
GAME NOTES: Freshman Austin Cousino has now reached base safely in 40 of his 43 career games … Senior Thomas McCarthy has now reached base safely in 94 of his 98 career games and in 13 consecutive games … J.T. Riddle was hit by the 10th and 11th pitch of the year … Cousino smoked his league-leading 18th double … Zac Zellers has now reached base safely in a team-high 15 consecutive games … Jerad Grundy finished one out shy of tossing his fourth quality start of the year … Luke Maile stole his ninth base of 2012 … Cameron Flynn was hit by his fourth pitch.
