Does pitchers back foot have to break contact with rubber for him to throw to first?

No. Remember there are left handed pitchers and right handed pitchers.
Almost every umpire will declare a right handed pitcher to have balked if his foot doesn't disengage from the rubber when he throws to first.
A left handed pitcher simply steps and throws to first. His back foot usually never disengages from the rubber.
To over simplify - a pitcher is called for a balk when the umpire judges the pitcher to have deceived the runner in some way. So, anytime a baulk is called, an umpire made a judgement call.

What is the distance from second base to the pitchers rubber?
The answer is 66 feet, 9 inches. Home, first, and second base form a right triangle with legs of 90 feet each. Using the Pythagorean theorem, it is simple to determine that the distance from home to second is 127 feet, 3 inches (rounding off to the nearest inch). Subtract 60'6" (the distance from home to the rubber), which leaves 66'9" as the difference, and thus the distance from second to the rubber.

Does no contact after a breakup really help?
Well, No contact after a break-up can be positive and negitive... But the most important thing is what caused you to break up. If It was just a little fighting, then all you need to do is try to talk to your ex, Because No contact can me alot of diffrent things. I've been through lots of break-ups.. The first few weeks within the time we break up we dont talk. But after a few weeks we always get back up and talking again. Its up to you wether No contact will help. It all depends on how bad the whole break up was.
