Basketball Defense - Match-Up Press DefenseBy James Gels, from the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net
The match-up press is a more complicated "system" of presses than simple zone presses. The match-up press was developed and fine-tuned by Coach Rick Pitino, originally at Kentucky. It is more difficult to learn and involves a fair amount of practice time. But it has the advantage of always having pressure on the ball no matter what press-breaker alignment the offense uses.
Coach Rick Pitino
Rather than playing an area or "zone", our defenders follow a set of press rules. In addition to putting pressure on the ball at all times, we use helpside rotations and interceptors and several other tactics.... (1) force sideline and then "cut and double", (2) "run and jump", and (3) "run and double". Let's first discuss these tactics.
"Cut and Double"We use the "cut and double" tactic along the sidelines. X5 will try to force O1 to speed-dribble up the sideline, and will then sprint ahead of and "cut" (stop) O1 somewhere along the sideline... this could happen either before or beyond the half-court line. X4 runs along with his/her man, even with the ball. As soon as O1 is stopped, X4 will immediately sprint over to trap O1. Oftentimes, O1 will spin backwards away from X5 and toward the sideline, and this is a great time for X4 to trap and actually steal the ball, since O1, while spinning, is "blind" to the trap coming from behind.
"Run and Jump""Run and jump" techniques can be used not only in full-court presses, but also in half-court trapping, man-to-man defenses. We use it in our match-up press too.
One of our press rules is to run at and double-team the ball anytime the ball is being speed-dribbled toward you. This could happen in the middle of the court, or along the sideline. Ordinarily, we only trap along the sidelines, not in the middle of the court. So, in the middle, it's usually a "run and jump". In diagram A, O1 is speed-dribbling toward the middle, at X1. X1 sprints at O1 and contains the ball. If O1 immediately passes to O4, the defenders switch and X5 "jumps" to cut and contain O4, while X1 now has O1.
It is easier for X5 to jump to O4 because X5's momentum is going in that direction. It would be nearly impossible for O1 to turn around and sprint back to O4. So a "run and jump" is basically a defensive switch that occurs when the ball is being speed-dribbled at someone, and then passed. Now if O1 had stopped the dribble, we would have both X1 and X5 stay in the trap (a "run and double"), until the ball is passed out of the trap.
The advantages of running at the ball when it is being speed-dribbled at you are: (1) it may cause the speed-dribbler to turn the ball over with a ball-handling error or a bad pass, (2) it helps slow-down and contain the dribbler, (3) it could result in a dead ball and a trap, and (4) gives us a chance to "turn" the ball back to the sideline or the opposite direction. In diagram B above, we see that after the "run and jump" (diagram A), O1 kept (did not pass) the ball, and X5 has jumped to O4. Now X1 is containing the ball (O1) and has forced O1 to turn back to the sideline where we once again can try to "cut and double".
Here are several situations where we will "run and jump". See the diagrams below. We may trap the inbounds pass. If O1 immediately passes out of the trap back to the inbounder O3, X5 "jumps" to O3, because X4's momentum is going away from the ball. In the middle diagram, we have already seen above how to handle the "run and jump" in the middle of the floor. In the right hand diagram, we may at times "run and jump" the sideline dribble. Sometimes, our X5 is just not quick enough to cut O1 speed-dribbling up the side, so we may have X1 "run and jump" O1 instead. If O1 stops the dribble, X1 and X5 both stay in the trap, if O1 passes ahead to O4, X5 sprints forward and "jumps" to O4.
"Run and Double"A "run and double" can also occur when the ball is being speed-dribbled at someone. Since we don't usually try to trap in the middle of the court, we will use this more along the sidelines. As the ball is speed-dribbled up the sideline, our X1 defender comes up and "hits" O1, and X1 and X5 trap O1. Our X3 helpside defender will rotate over to intercept the next pass up the sideline, while our X2 helpside defender will sprint back to defend the paint (see the rotations below under "1-Up").
There are a few situations where we may "run and double" in the open court... (1) the speed-dribbler stops the dribble and we stay in the trap, (2) when the ball-handler is not a great dribbler and folds under pressure, and (3) at times, we will "run and double" whenever their best player receives the ball, just to make him/her work harder and give up the ball.
Note that a "run and double" becomes a "run and jump" as soon as the ball is passed out of the double-team.
You can imagine that with using the tactics described above, the match-up press entails some risk and you have to be willing to accept that you might give up a few lay-ups in transition. But, overall when run effectively with energy, you will gain in turnovers, interceptions, and your own lay-ups. Additionally, over the course of the game, the opponent will become fatigued. Thus to run this press, your athletes must be well-conditioned, and it helps greatly to have a deep bench.
Post Players as "Frontline" Defenders in the PressMany coaches are at first surprised that we use our two post players in the back-court guarding the inbounder and the player receiving the inbounds (first) pass, rather than two quicker guards. The reasons for this are:
- After we score, our post players are right there under the basket already in position to press.
- Our taller player on the inbounder may block the inbounder's passing lanes and may tip the inbounds pass and go score.
- We don't expect our post players to contain a quick offensive point guard... just force him/her to speed-dribble to one side or force him/her to pass.
- We want our quicker players as pass interceptors and trappers.
- We especially like to have a very quick, athletic player in the X3 spot... this is our back defender who reads the defense and intercepts passes.
Already we can see things are a lot different with this press than with a zone press. I will discuss the various alignments and adjustments later, but first there are basic press rules that apply to all of the variations.
Basic Press Rules
- X4 plays the inbounder and tries to tip the inbounds pass.
- Try to force the inbounds pass to the corner.
- "Play someone" - basically matching up with every defender on a man. We may change from 1-Up, to 2-Up, to 3-Up, or 4-Up depending on how the offense is aligned.
- Always pressure the ball and try to force the ball-handler to speed dribble.
- If someone is speed dribbling toward you, sprint at her/him to trap ("run and double" and "run and jump"). When this happens, teammates will rotate to give help and become "interceptors".
- X4 and X5 double-team the inbounds pass in the corner if the ball is even with or below the block.
- If the inbounds pass goes beyond the block, X5 pressures the ball forcing the speed-dribble, while X4 quickly sprints to get above the ball.
- We will usually switch any early screens that try to spring someone loose. Communication, calling out the switches, is key.
- "Go with your man". If your man goes deep, and someone is not speed-dribbling at you, go with your man.
- If the ball is dribbled away from the sideline back toward the middle, X4 is in position to "hit" the ball-handler there ("run and double" or "run and jump").
- If the ball is dribbled up the sideline, it will eventually be trapped near half-court (a "cut and double" or a "run and jump").
- If the offense gets the ball into the opposite corner (or the inbounder runs the baseline), use all the same rules, just on the opposite side.
- If the ball gets ahead of you, sprint back and try to "back-tip" the ball loose from the dribbler.
- Sprint back to the paint when you are beaten.
- Sprint out of the double-team if the ball is passed.
- When trapping, or trying to stop the dribbler, you must move your feet to get into position. Don't reach in and just swipe at the ball. Back-court fouls are usually "stupid" fouls, created when the opponent was not even in position to score. It's especially "stupid" if the opponent is in the two-shot bonus, or if it is committed with only seconds remaining in a period.
Specific Match-up Presses, Numbering SystemWe break the court into four segments. Full-court = "80", 3/4 court = "60", 1/2 court = "40", and 1/4 court = "20". An "80" press would be a full-court match-up with a man defending the inbounder. A "60" press would have the man guarding the inbouder drop back to the free-throw line (3/4 court press). A half-court press would be a "40" press. A standard half-court defense would be your "20" defense. Our "80" match-up press may be setup in a 1-Up, 2-Up, 3-Up, or 4-Up alignment depending on how the offense is positioned in their press-breaker. Additionally, our deny presses are "81" (full-court deny) and "61" (3/4 court deny). We also have an adjustment called "Staggered".
"80" Match-up Press vs "1-Up"See the 1-Up diagrams below. Use the press rules described above. We will allow the inbounds pass into the corner. Usually we will not trap the corner in 1-Up since the offense can easily reverse the ball back to the inbounder. Diagram A is the more common situation... as the ball is passed in, X4 sprints to get above the ball. X5 tries to get O1 to speed dribble. If the dribble goes up the sideline, X1 sprints up to double team along the side with X5. In this case, X3 moves to the ball-side sideline to become an interceptor of the next pass up the sideline, while X2 now sprints back to become the helpside safety (X3's original spot).
If instead of going up the sideline, the dribbler goes around X5 toward the middle (toward X4 who is above the ball), X4 should be in excellent position to "run and jump" and "hit" (stop) the ball, and X4 and X5 look to trap, while X2 and X1 become interceptors. X3 stays back as safety.
We may occasionally trap the first pass in the corner if the inbounder is not a good ball-handler and we want to make him/her handle the ball (see Diagram C). Diagram C, if the ball is passed inbounds below the block in the corner X4 and X5 will trap the corner, while X2 and X1 become interceptors. X3 is back.
There may be times when X5 is containing well up the sideline and we want to "cut and double". If X4 follows the rule of "staying above the ball", he/she can watch to see if X5 is able to cut (stop) the ball or causes the ball-handler to spin or turn to the middle. If quick enough, X4 can anticipate this and immediately "hit" the ball there on the side with X5. In this situation, X2 has to understand the situation. If X3 has rotated over to the ball-side sideline, then X2 must be the back defender. But if X3 "stays", X2 can become a middle interceptor when the ball is trapped on the sideline by X4 and X5.
"80" Match-up Press vs "2-Up"Here the offense has two players up at the free-throw line area. Following our rule ("play someone"), we match-up accordingly, and X2 moves up to the free-throw line. All the same press rules apply. X3 may have to move up to half-court to play his/her man, but realizing that if someone goes long, X3 must get back to prevent the layup. If the inbounder runs the baseline and the ball moves up the X3's side, then X1 becomes the safety.
If the ball is passed into the corner below the block, we will definitely trap this with X4 and X5, while X2 plays the gap between O2 and the inbounder. If X2 can get the interception back to the inbounder, that's great. But X2 has to be sure he/she can get it, or the press is beaten. If X2 recognizes that he/she cannot get the reverse pass, X2 should then just contain the ball while all other defenders rotate.
If the ball is speed-dribbled up the right sideline, the same press rules apply with X5 containing or chasing, X1 will "hit" looking to trap up the side with X5, while X3 rotates over looking to intercept the next pass up the sideline. Notice that X2, once he/she sees the ball going up the sideline, must immediately sprint back as once again X2 becomes the helpside back safetly.
"80" Match-up Press vs "3-Up"Here the press offense has three players up at the free-throw line area... (more)

"41" Trap"41" is a half-court trap that we might run in special situations, like after a missed free-throw. We try to trap the ball as it comes across half-court, in the half-court corner on either side... (more)
"88""88" press defense is simply a full-court man-to-man defense where each player matches up with his/her person man-to-man over the entire court... (more)

- "80" Match-up Press vs "3-Up"
- "80" Match-up Press vs "4-Up"
- "Staggered" Match-up Press
- "Deny" Presses
- "81" Deny Press
- "61" Deny Press
- "41" Trap
- "88"
In summary, this match-up press system is complicated and requires a lot of practice time. To use this system, you must be fully committed to being a pressing team, most of the game and most of the season. Like any press, there are risks and rewards. When run aggressively with energy, you are on the attack and setting the game tempo. Coaches must learn how to make press adjustments during the course of the game, depending on the opponent's press offense. For example, sometimes changing from "80" to "61" can have a big effect.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of metallurgical coal producer Walter Energy (NASDAQOTH: WLTGQ ) dropped as much as 19% today after updating guidance and lowering its dividend.
So what: Management said that production was up 7% from the first quarter but sales fell 0.3 metric tons to 2.4 metric tons, and inventory piled up, leading to higher costs. But what really hit investors was a decrease in the quarterly dividend from 12.5 cents to $0.01 because of debt amendments.
Now what: Demand and prices for metallurgical coal are down and Walter needed to amend its credit facility to secure more debt and stay afloat. That's what forced the dividend reduction; it's better to keep the cash and stay alive than pay a dividend all the way into bankruptcy. Walter lost $49.4 million last quarter, and the rise in costs and drop in revenue doesn't bode well for this quarter or for the stock over the long term. I'd consider dumping this stock and getting what I could at this point.
Coal, whether metallurgical or thermal, is in big trouble right now and investors should be looking for new ways to invest in growing energy plays. For this reason, the Motley Fool is offering a comprehensive look at three energy companies set to soar during the transformation in the energy industry that's killing coal.

"The Trader of The Year contest helped me a lot in identifying my key weaknesses" said Divya Abhishek
Trader of the Year 2012 is sponsored by
Divya Abhishek is the winner of the latest edition of the Trader of the Year contest, organised by FXstreet.com and sponsored by Hantec Markets.
He is from India and, surprisingly, has only been trading for 6 months. He beat more than 2,000 traders on the Trader of the Year contest but Divya is still cautious and down to earth, realising that in forex you can always learn more and improve the trades. Here is a quick interview about his trading style and strategies.
What is your trading strategy?I am a new entrant in Forex Market and it is less than 6 months since I am trading. My current strategy is based on Price Action considering 5 Minute charts and percentage price movement of a pair in a day.
"It is less than 6 months since I am trading. My current strategy is based on Price Action"
What tools do you usually use?Since I am new entrant in Forex Market, I am still exploring for reliable tools which I can adapt in my trading strategy. Currently I am using simple Support/Resistance analyzing tools which help me to identify the support/resistance of a pair and to take a trading decision.
What FXstreet.com pages and tools do you use more often?I am currently subscribed to the Fxstreet.com RSS news feed to stay updated with the latest market happenings. I recently found FXstreet.com's Forex Studies (Beta) tool very useful and I started to use it these days.
"I like freedom to trade 24 hours a day, as I can even trade after my office hours"
What is the best of Forex and Trading?I like forex market mostly due to the fact that it gives freedom to trade 24 hours a day, as I can even trade after my office hours. I also like the high leverage offered by various brokers (I personally like 1:50).
Will you participate again in a Forex Contest?This was my first forex contest in which I ever participated and it helped me a lot in identifying my key weaknesses. I think forex contests like this create a risk free but challenging environment where new entrants specially like me can test their skills and identify their key weaknesses without worrying about loosing real money. I am very thankful to the organizers of this forex contest and look forward to participating again next year to see where I actually stand. In the mean time I will try to overcome from the weaknesses that I identified during this contest.
What is your feedback about the Trader of the Year 2012?By far, Trader of the Year 2012 was excellent.
What tip would you give to a trader wanting to participate in a Forex Contest?
Since I am a new entrant in forex market, I don't consider myself in a position to suggest to professionals.
However, what I learned - specially on the last two days of the contest - and would like to suggest to new entrants is that they should always trade with confience. No matter if a trade goes in your way or against you, never let your trades overcome your confidence. Also, I do not recomment to trade with a vengeful mind after a loosing trade. As we can not take revenge from forex market, we should not trade with a vengeful mind. Try to keep calm and always look for a good opportunity to enter into a trade. Finally, just remember that patience is the key to success.

The announcement included a message by Al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, asking followers to spread the terrorist group's messages. "I asked God for the men of jihadi media to spread the message of Islam and monotheism to the world and spread real awareness to the people of the nations," Zawahiri said in the message.
Al Qaeda has released videos designed for cell phones since at least 2005, but from September to December 2007, most of the videos released were not designed for cell phones. The videos often include English subtitles, and some have been dubbed in other languages, such as Urdu and Pashtu.
The videos made available by Al Sahab include messages from Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and a tribute to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former Al Qaeda in Iraq leader killed by U.S. forces in June 2006.
Al Sahab, which indicated that it will release more of its previously recorded videos in cell phone compatible formats, has also releases video files in the past that can be played on portable media display devices.

The first Hispanic rock star,
Ritchie Valens
will forever be known as one of the two musicians (along with
the Big Bopper
) who perished with
Buddy Holly
in 1959, when their private plane crashed in the midst of a Midwest tour. At the time,
had only recently established himself as one of the most promising young talents in rock & roll, just barely missing the top of the charts with "Donna," a number two hit, and pioneering a blend of rock and Latin music with the single's almost equally popular flip side, "La Bamba." Like many rock stars who died prematurely, it's difficult to assess his unrealized potential; he was only 17 at the time of his death, and had just barely begun to make records. Nevertheless,
' music has endured for decades.
Ricardo Esteban Valenzuela Reyes was raised in a Mexican-American household in the San Fernando Valley. He played several instruments as a child and eventually devoted most of his focus to the guitar, learning a right-hand version of the guitar despite his own left-handedness.
' musical influences were diverse, running the gamut from
Little Richard
and rockabilly to traditional Mexican genres like mariachi, and his talent on the guitar earned him a spot in a local band, the Silhouettes, when he was 16.
eventually became the band's frontman. While playing at a local movie theater in 1958, he was discovered by producer
Bob Keane
, who signed
to his Del-Fi label and convinced him to shorten his surname to "Valens," claiming the abbreviated version had broader appeal than "Valenzuela." Under
's wing,
entered a Los Angeles recording studio in July and emerged with "Come on Let's Go," which climbed to number 42 on the national charts.
By the end of 1958,
had quit high school in order to focus on his career, which had skyrocketed after his second single, "Donna," climbed to number two. Also enjoying a good amount of popularity was the single's innovative flip side, "La Bamba," a rocked-up Mexican folk song performed entirely in Spanish. "La Bamba" featured some fierce guitar work, as well as the thick sound of the Danelectro bass, which gave the instrument more electric presence than it had previously enjoyed on any rock & roll disc.
was subsequently hailed as one of rock & roll's teen idols, and he hit road in early 1959 alongside
Buddy Holly
the Big Bopper
, Dion & the Belmonts, and Frankie Sardo.
Billed as "the Winter Dance Party," the tour was originally scheduled to hit 24 Midwestern cities over the course of three weeks. The musicians all shared a single bus, whose heater broke several days into the tour, worsening the long drives between each show. By the time the Winter Dance Party rolled into Clear Lake, Iowa, on February 2,
Buddy Holly
had grown tired of the chilly conditions and decided to book a plane in order to fly to the show's next stop. After that evening's show at the Surf Ballroom, Holly boarded the plane along with
and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. The aircraft crashed several minutes after takeoff, though, instantly killing pilot Roger Peterson along with all three of his passengers.
Ritchie Valens
was 17 years old.
only had about two albums' worth of material in the can, as well as some lo-fi live tapes of a gig at a local junior high, before his death; undoubtedly, some (or many) of these were demos or unfinished tracks. Other singers emulated
' Mexican-American brand of rock in the following years, most notably
Chan Romero
(originator of "Hippy Hippy Shake," who also recorded for
Bob Keane
's Del-Fi label and used some of the same musicians who had backed
) and
Chris Montez
. In the 1980s and 1990s, the L.A.-based Latino rock band
Los Lobos
were often cited for reflecting
' influence, and groups like Los Lonely Boys carried the torch of Chicano rock into the 21st century. Meanwhile, the 1987 film
La Bamba
(whose soundtrack heavily featured
Los Lobos
) gave his story a glossy Hollywood makeover, exposing
' legacy to millions even as it introduced the usual distortions and factual errors in its dramatization of his brief life.

Pirbright Tennis Club was founded back in 1976, and initially existed on one private court only, in Burrow Hill. Soon after, it moved to it's existing location in School Lane.
This site was leased from the SCC for many years until, a few years ago, the club purchased the freehold of the whole of the Sandpits. The peripheral areas, such as the car park, the access roads, an area in front of the Sandpit Cottages,and a small 'ransom' strip alonside School Lane were sold to the local parish council, in order to protect the area, as much as possible, from future unwelcome development.
The club is now thriving, with 382 members and 5 adult teams. There is an active junior coaching programme run in collaboration with the two other local clubs, Normandy and Worplesdon.

Burton Atherton ended a two-week layoff in convincing fashion, as Sydney Ackerman's eight kills and nine assists helped Atherton to a three-set sweep (25-21, 25-14, 25-12) of Flint Northwestern on Wednesday.
"I am very happy and proud of my team tonight," Atherton coach Chuck Vierk said. "We have not played a game since our first tournament almost two weeks ago, and we came out playing really well as a team. We were able to execute our game plan and get after Northwestern, even though they were much taller than us."
Shelby Himilla and Jordan Siminski each had seven kills for Atherton, which improved to 6-1 overall.
"Northwestern played really well and hustled for everything, which made my team work and earn every point that we got," Vierk said. "The girls have established themselves as a team and a family. They pick each other up when someone is down, and they pull for each other game in and game out. This is a really fun and exciting bunch to be around."
Atherton travels to Burton Bendle on Saturday for a tournament.
Tyanika Griffin recorded 10 assists, five digs and two kills for Flint Northwestern, which dropped to 1-3 overall.
"Atherton has a good team, and I was very proud of the girls," Northwestern coach Robin Johnson said. "They were moving and setting up the defense well, but when they started losing the girls got down on themselves. I told the girls we can't be doing that."
Northwestern takes on Midland Dow on Thursday.

Pregnant woman pinned to wall with car recovering
Police are still searching for a pregnant woman accused of running over another woman who's also pregnant by the same man
J Brown: Psychologically sick people like Trump and many of his racist followers live in their own reality where they can never be reached with facts or truth. That's why he can never be allowed power over the rest of us. In his mind, if he says it, that's the way it is...regardless of fact, law, the constitution, or international treaties. He doesn't care if he violates any of them because he is rich; therefore, he's always right. What's really scary is his blind followers are too stupid or irrational to see almost everything Trump says is a flat out lie that can be proven with video or audio evidence, but they view that as preferable or equal to the sliced and diced, mostly true, political speak Hillary engages in. For this we can thank the irresponsible corporate media for flushing truth and facts down the drain and replacing them with false equivalencies that aim to remove bias from reporting and fail miserably. Hey there, MSNBC! Facts aren't bias! Truth has no bias! It's insane how the public is now brainwashed to think it makes sense to look for two sides to everything when one side is a fact and the other side is gibberish made to look valid by giving it equal time and treatment in the tightly controlled corporate media. Now we've got a huge segment of angry voters in this country who believe they are entitled to make up their own facts. My question to them is simply this... exactly how do you benefit personally voting for Trump? We know how Trump and other wealthy people like him who don't pay taxes will benefit big time if he wins the Whitehouse. What do you think he's going to do to help you? There is overwhelming factual evidence he makes his money by cheating people who work for him and support him. He has a pattern of filing corporate bankruptcy when his businesses repeatedly fail, leaving other people like workers and investors to pay for the messes he leaves behind. How is that going to help you when he starts running this country like one of his businesses? When anyone questions his words, actions, or behavior, he lashes out and attacks irrationally, as we saw last night, with very little provocation. How will this benefit you, or your children when he is President? How does more tax cuts for the super rich help you? What do you know about his personal or business history that I don't know which shows Trump ever operates to benefit anyone but himself and his immediate family, as long as his family's interests don't conflict with his own? He's proven he will even throw family under the bus when he can personally gain from it. All the working and middle class voters supporting Trump, what is it besides racism and bigotry that is so attractive about this guy you will vote against your own economic and political interests and put all our liberties at risk to support this carnival barker? PT Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute, and Trump knows it better than anyone.

A state champion from Summerville will help get the Coker College wrestling program up and running.
Summerville High School senior Gavin Perkins is part of the program's first recruiting class, which is now up to 18 wrestlers who hail from seven states. Perkins was among the 10 original athletes to commit to the program that will hit the mat for its inaugural season during the 2013-14 academic year.
"I am extremely excited about this initial recruiting class," Coker coach Cy Wainwright said in a press release posted on the college's website. "I, along with our staff and faculty, have worked extremely hard to show that Coker College is a great place to be. It is my intention to build a winning wrestling program here, and it begins with this class."
On Monday, Perkins was joined by his high school coaches and parents for a signing celebration at SHS.
"When I visited Coker I really liked the campus," Perkins said. "Also I like the idea of helping build a program. It's a great opportunity and I'm glad I get to be a part of it."
During his senior season Perkins won an individual state championship in the 126-pound weight class and he was the runner-up in his weight class as a junior. He is also a two-time freestyle state champion, Greco-Roman state champion, All-region wrestler, Lowerstate champion and participated in this year's North-South All-star event.
His unorthodox methods and work ethic are among the attributes that made him appealing to the Coker coaches.
"It looks like they want me in the 133 weight class or the 125 class so I'm going to need to gain some muscle because the guys in those classes are bigger than most of the competition I'm used to," he said.
Perkins plans to major in political science and says he would like to pursue a Coast Guard career after college.

You are definitely not the first person I've heard say they were hungry. I'm no expert but I've read a lot of other people's posts and here are some things that might be an issue:
Fat is good for fuel but you may be deficient in something that your body wants so you keep getting signals. Are you eating lots of veggies? Some people have also mentioned thirst signals being misinterpreted as hunger signals so to drink some water when you first start feeling hungry. Other people just feel better with a different macro nutritional profile play with your carb/protein/fat balance. And lastly, this is not necessarily a low calorie diet, so maybe just eat more.
How long have you been doing this?

Red Mountain Theatre Company presents Little Women, an exhilarating new musical based on Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel.
We know you're an actor by night, but what do you spend your time doing during the day?
I work as the Worship Ministry Assistant at Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church in Inverness, where I support the Worship Minister and fulfill most of our graphic design needs. I am so thankful to be able to work in a place where I can use my God given gifts and abilities. I am also the mother of an amazing 10-year-old daughter who, when she's not drawing, loves to sing and play the piano.
What performing (or business) projects have you worked on that you are most proud of, and why?
Our seasonal choir worship services at work are probably some of my most proud business accomplishments. Seeing all of the hard work put in by our staff and 100% volunteer choir, band and technical support team realized, is unbelievably rewarding to see come together.
As an actor, what motivates/inspires you?
I am never more motivated than when my fellow cast members are unbelievably talented. It pushes me beyond my personal best, and I learn so much from them in the process. It also helps to have such clear guidance and support as we do from our directorial staff at Red Mountain.
Have you ever had an embarrassing moment on stage? If it's appropriate for public consumption, will you share it with us?
I may have flubbed a line once or twice, but nothing hugely embarrassing, thankfully!
What is your favorite novel? Who is your favorite author?
I am a voracious reader, I usually have two or three books floating around at any given time, but my current favorite is Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series. Stephen King and Dean Koontz are definitely two of my all time favorite authors. These guys are able to completely transport me to the world they've created; I am usually unable to put any of their books down!
Who is your favorite character in Little Women? Why?
While there's not one character in this story I could do without, I can't help but adore Jo. Her absolute certainty that her future will be just as she's planned and her indomitable spirit and strength of character make her so endearing.
What are you most looking forward to sharing with audiences through this show? Why should they come to see RMTC's production of Little Women?
There are always harsh realities in our lives, difficulties to face and challenges to overcome - but one should never lose hope and never lose that outrageous sense of optimism in which Jo lives every day. Little Women is a lovely production with beautiful music accompanying the characters and story we remember from our youth.
What's been your favorite master class so far? What made it special?
Our very first diction master class with Marlene, doing those crazy vowel sounds complete with hand motions was just too much fun! Plus learning about different dialects was fascinating. As someone who loves to learn about most anything, I am really enjoying the learning process with all the different master classes. They are such a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge base and become a better actor.

Authors in the News
Lauren Myracle writes about being un-nominated for the National Book in the Huffington Post. Put in a really tough position, Myracle comes across as funny, tender and sympathetic. And apparently I wasn't the only one who added Shine to my Goodreads list.
Earlier this week, local law enforcement in Ohio was forced to shoot 49 large animals after their owner opened gates and cages prior to killing himself. As a follow up, NPR interviews local author Michael Koryta, the author of The Ridge which includes a significant plot line involving a large cat sanctuary in Kentucky. The interview covers challenges of regulating exotic animal ownership.

"The "Freshly Painted" series is the first American graffiti movie released intentionally for free to the Vimeo and Youtube viewing public.
"Freshly Painted" is your chance to take a glimpse into the lives and activities of real, ground level American writers using Fresh Paint
and a variety of other brands." -12ozProphet
"All City" (1983)
"Director Henry Chalfant introduces his film All City (1983), which grew out of an idea to do a youth TV program about Hip Hop and other cultural phenomena of interest to young urbanites. The program was never realized, but the trailer grew into a portrait of the different elements of Hip Hop in the mid-80s. The venue is Fashion Moda, a popular art gallery on Third Avenue in the Bronx. There is a demonstration of Bboying, and Rap, followed by a discussion, hosted by Spank TC5, about art and culture with important graffiti artists of the time including Dondi, Butch, Mare and Brim. The video includes a montage of murals by Henry Chalfant and a Pop and Lock lesson by Mr. Wiggles. It features the young Bboy crew, VTB, The Very Tough Breakers."

My first year at Union is over. I am going to miss this place. I had a great time here. I learned a lot and experienced a lot of different things. Yeah, I am a bit sad but I am ready for the break. Plus, I am going to Senegal for 3 weeks which would be great times. There is nothing sad about finishing my freshman year, I have 3 more years to go ( I typed 4 and then realized that this year is over). If I had to describe my year using one sign, it would be a period.
. ( It is over. I cannot change a thing or add more to it.)
PS: This is my last blog post about Union ( until next year). I will be posting soon about Senegal. I got my visa so I am all set.
The following two tabs change content below.

My name is Mike Stevenson Presendieu. I am a sophomore. I am originally from Haiti but I have lived in New York city for the past three years. I am a Political Science major, French minor and considering a Jewish studies minor as well. I am a brother of Chi Psi. So far, at Union, I have grew as a student and as a person. I became better student and a better person. I studied abroad in Senegal over the summer and it was a truly eye-opening experience. I am now aware of the world that surrounds me and the people who are part of this world. I am proud a Dutchman. Union'16. Go Greek.
