Rivals100 ATH commits to Auburn
Justin Hokanson
Talk about it in The Main Board
MADISON, Ala. | Rivals100 prospect Kerryon Johnson kept everyone in suspense.
The nation's No. 4 athlete was ready to make his announcement on Tuesday between Auburn, Alabama and Florida State. Only Johnson's parents and head coach at Madison Academy knew of his decision beforehand.
Johnson becomes the sixth member of the Tigers' Class of 2015.
"There's such a family culture at Auburn, you know you can trust that and you are safe in that," Johnson said. "It's a small town, but there's a fire to it. That feeling right there is what separates them."
Keeping the secret wasn't easy, especially when he made the decision over the weekend to move his commitment date up to this week.
"It was difficult," he said. "A lot of people wanted a lot of answers -- it was difficult. But it was a good joy to have that blessing of being recognized. It was a great opportunity for our family."
Johnson said he knew Auburn was the place for him after a recent visit. He had visited Alabama the week before and was set to visit Florida State the week following. It was a hectic time.
Johnson spoke with former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, he spoke with current Auburn players Cameron Toney and Rudy Ford. Gaining perspective on the situation was critical. Johnson returned home after visiting Auburn and was sitting in his room thinking about his future and Auburn simply wouldn't leave his mind.
"I was sitting in my room and thinking about the visit and how great I felt when I was there. It hit me that that's the place I should be for the next four years," he said. "I had a great feeling at Auburn and I knew that would be the place. Why wait if your mind is made up?"
Head coach Gus Malzahn, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and running backs coach Tim Horton all played important roles in landing Johnson's pledge.
"The coaches -- those guys are good Christian guys and they'll get onto you, but you know it's out of love. We talked for an hour about family, they started on football then we went to character and family. That struck me with how my family is structured. That will take you further than football any day."
The proper fit was key. Johnson has the abilities to play running back, slot receiver or even safety on defense. The Tigers recruited Johnson at running back and he's looking forward to developing his skills under Malzahn, Lashlee and Horton.
"That was big," he said. "They specialize in getting players the ball in space. That's something I feel like that's something they can do with me."
Johnson grew up in Tallahassee, Florida with his father, in the shadows of Florida State University. The Seminoles were a tough place for Johnson to turn down.
"You've always had that dream, but at the end of the day when I told my family the decision, it was my choice. They knew the type of person I was and they supported me 100 percent," Johnson said.
From the beginning of the process, Johnson has reiterated that when he made his decision, it would be final. Johnson plans to take visits next fall, but he maintains that his commitment to Auburn is a solid one.
"I don't think any athlete is 200 percent committed to a college, but I'm not going to be that guy that commits, de-commits, commits, de-commits. I feel great at Auburn and I wouldn't expect anything to change," Johnson said.
Auburn would like to sign at least two running backs in the 2015 class. Johnson makes one, and the Tigers are certainly pursuing others. But Johnson isn't worried about competition.
"I'm not mad with another five-star in the backfield to take carries off me," Johnson said. "If I go out and compete I can play at any level I want to."
Johnson's focus now turns towards recruiting. He credited fellow Auburn quarterback commit Tyler Queen for recruiting him to the Plains and plans to join the movement as soon as possible.

Many details are recorded about Benjamin Franklin's long life, much of it in his own correspondence and other papers. Yet the things that are not known, especially about this short segment of his time in London, intrigue us and afford historians and biographers a continuous temptation if not to speculate then at least to offer plausible constructions of these gaps in our knowledge.
So it has been with several mysteries in the Hutchinson letters affair and its aftermath. Certainly the leading one of these is the question, who indeed was his source for the letters?
Probably the most compelling reason advanced thus far for trying to find an answer to that question is simply that the information could well tell us more about his understanding of the letters and his judgment about their use. Without that knowledge we are forced to scour Franklin's own explanation for that understanding.
Almost equally compelling as a reason to inquire and pose some plausible answers to the who question is the plain fact that Franklin himself stoutly stuck to his promise and determination to keep that person or persons'

While avoiding more bonded indebtedness, the state has been refinancing debt to leverage better interest rates. Miller cites net savings of nearly $11 million from recent refinancing. Annual payments on principal and interest of state bonds comes to about four cents of every dollar appropriated from the general revenue fund.
Jim Joseph, the state's bond adviser, says Oklahoma could borrow as much as $300 million for new bond issues without affecting the state's credit rating. We would argue that not issuing new bonds for projects such as Capitol repairs and a facility for the state medical examiner's office will adversely affect credit ratings by signaling that the state is deferring projects that will get more expensive over time.
The state does have a debt problem in one area — public pensions. Oklahoma ranks 33rd among the 50 states in its unfunded pension liabilities. That's actually an improvement.
What's not improving is the resistance to incurring more debt for capital improvements based largely on the perception that voters can't distinguish between Washington's profligate ways and Oklahoma's modest borrowing practices. Not all debt is equal. Leadership requires making the right decisions that may cause political heartburn.
In Washington, the issue is the metaphorical fiscal cliff. In Oklahoma, we should be worried about a literal cliff that develops because we failed to spend money to prevent it from developing.

It's been a busy week here at the middle school! The highlight was Monday when we spent the day up at Mt. Rainier with Dr. Claire Todd, a glaciologist and professor at Pacific Lutheran University. We met Dr. Todd up at Paradise and hiked up to a spot where we had a beautiful view of the Nisqually Glacier on the mountain. There we talked about how glaciers grow in the winter and shrink in the summer, made a bunch of observations about how and where they pick up rocks as they move, learned a bunch of new vocabulary, and noted the difference between peaks that had been shaped by glaciers like the mountain and the peaks 180 degrees from the mountain that haven't and are therefore still very jagged. After eating lunch at the visitor's center, we drove down to an access point where we could hike down to the Nisqually River. Here we found evidence that the glaciers on Mt. Rainier were once much, much larger and noted the effects of river flooding on the landscape. It was an amazing day, and really this is exactly why your kids are at Seabury. This would not be possible at other schools! In the coming weeks, we'll meet with Dr. Todd again at PLU and hear her lecture about how the Washington landscape has been shaped by glaciers.

Learning about the Library and Makers' Space
One of the things that we're pretty proud of at the middle school is that we use the resources in our community as supplements to our program. This not only allows our students to form a greater connection to their community (something that's important for middle schoolers), but also broadens the resources that are available to them.
We use the Tacoma Public Library a lot throughout the year for research, students' personal reading, and extension activities in Social Studies and Science. This week, we were lucky enough to get a tour of the library from the Teen Librarian at the Tacoma Public Library. Ms. Holloway showed the middle schoolers how to work the library's catalog system and narrow their search to find what they need, went over the myriad of resources available online, and gave us a tour of the Northwest Room and some of the unique features of the library. For example, did you know that they have a time capsule of human hair that will (hopefully) be opened in the year 3000? That way, civilization in the year 3000 will have a genetic record of us.
This week, we were also able to go to the Lower School campus to use their newly created Makers' Space! This is an area filled with odds and ends that students can tinker with and put together. Makers' spaces encourage engineering, creativity, and spacial awareness. We had students create miniature zip-lines, futuristic looking vehicles, and some beautifully decorated flower pots. Middle schoolers are also allowed to use basic tools, and it turns out we have some stealth woodworkers in the group!
First Full Week and Some Exciting News
We're incredibly lucky that Dr. Claire Todd, a glaciologist from the Geosciences department at PLU, has agreed to work with us over the course of this semester. We'll be heading up to Mt. Rainier in a couple weeks to talk to her about glacier basics– how they form, how they move, etc. This will be the first in a series of talks with her about glaciers and how they've shaped the Washington landscape. Super excited about this. More info soon!
As a part of our PNW Earth Sciences unit this semester, we've also been tracking the world's daily earthquakes over 4.7 and marking them on a map. We're using this website: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ The hope is that after doing this for a month or so, we'll be able to see the Ring of Fire and other major fault systems. On a normal day, there are usually around a dozen 4.7 or greater earthquakes to map. But because of the 8.3 earthquake in Chile and all its aftershocks, yesterday there were over 50 to map!
This was our first full week for the school year, and it was a busy one! We started Math groups. Mr. G is taking Algebra and Geometry students, and Caitlin is taking everyone else. Caitlin made a nifty comic book-style expectations sheet for Math this year:
Today was also the first lesson from Ms. Head, our new Art teacher. The subject was how photography changed Art and the world, and today's lesson was on realist art before photography. Cool stuff!
Camp Colman 2015!
And we're back from camp! What a trip! When we first arrived on Wednesday, students learned about all of the energy that goes into growing, producing, shipping, and cooking their food and why it's important not to waste food. This continued throughout the trip, with students trying to get "zero ort (scraps of food)" at each meal. The middle schoolers met that challenge head on, and we had several cabins that had zero food waste during the week!
One of the primary reasons we go to camp at the beginning of the school year is so we can build a healthy community between students and teachers, and so students can work on problem solving together. Because of this, we had students complete many team-building activities together, where they worked on communication, grit, and cooperation. It was so interesting seeing their different solutions to the challenges they were given!
Students also got to participate in traditional camp activities like archery, the ever popular Gaga Ball, boating, and arts and crafts. We also were able to go on a night walk with the Camp Colman counselors, where we learned about nocturnal night life, experienced echo-location, and watched a beautiful sunset over the Sound. We ended the week with a lesson on Pacific Northwest Geography, and a couple rounds of "Jedi Tag". It was a great week!
We were sharing photos throughout the week on Instagram, so be sure to check out @seaburyschool to see more photos!
Also, look for more photos on the blog this week! (Your blogger was having some technical difficulties at press time)
First Week!
It's been a fantastic first week! We've been settling in to our temporary home at Urban Grace, while getting started with several Math activities and a couple engineering challenges. Students have had two PE and two French sessions as well.
The picture is of the engineering challenge we did the first day of school. Students were given 15 pieces of uncooked spaghetti, three large marshmallows and a length of string and asked to build the tallest structure they could. This got the students thinking creatively and also served as an ice breaker. There were several cool strategies, including building a kind of trestle using triangles like in the photo. Our winning height was 24.5″!
Next week we'll be starting PE at the Y and Math groups before heading to Camp Colman for a few days for outdoor ed activities and high ropes courses!
2015 Capstone Symposium
Last Wednesday, we hosted our very first Capstone Symposium!
This year, eighth grade students worked hard on their Capstone projects. They picked a topic that they found interesting, wrote and researched papers on that topic, and then developed a long-term project. On Wednesday, they presented their hard work to friends, family, and the greater Seabury community. For their presentations, they were asked to reflect on what they had learned through the process.
Here are the Capstone projects that students did this year:
An avid artist, A.A. researched the importance of public art, and worked on designing and painting a mural at the end of Court C. She had to submit a design and artist's statement into Spaceworks Tacoma, and was granted a space in which to paint her mural! Her final design was based on a woman who, while growing up, reflects on the way her city has changed.
B.S.'s project was based around learning graphic design, and creating an open-source website for the images he created. He is interested in graphic design, and learned about design elements, Photoshop, and web design during his Capstone project. You can check out his website here:
C.H. has been an athlete for his whole life, and so wanted to base his project on athletics. Because social change can also be seen in professional sports, he researched athletes who broke down social barriers in order to play professionally and who had an effect on the civil rights movement. He also learned the elements of Photoshop to create informational posters, which he put on a blog. You can see them here:
L.B. is interested in both geography and teaching, so he thought he would combine the two for his project. He worked with Seabury teachers to develop a geography curriculum, and then taught it to classes at our lower school Campus. During the process, he learned a lot about lesson pacing, classroom management, and curriculum development.
M.B. has been making jewelry since she was young, so she incorporated that passion into her Capstone project. She undertook a complex research project that looked at the history of marketing and fashion, and how they affect our society today. She then filmed and edited a video where she explains how to create a piece of jewelry. She submitted the video in a contest on instructables.com, and won! You can see it here:
A.W. researched solar power. He looked at how it works, the pros and cons of solar energy, and what makes it better than energy from fossil fuels. Likewise, he interviewed experts in the solar energy field and looked at how miniature solar power generators can help people who don't have access to consistent power.
A.G. is an avid musician, singer, and songwriter. She wanted to use her talents to create an EP, so she researched the process, wrote two original songs, and, with the help of Mr. G, recorded them along with two covers. During the process, she learned a lot about songwriting, and the technical aspects of recording music.
Z.K. wants to be a doctor when she grows up. In order to get a good sense of what that entails, she interviewed several doctors on their experiences. She also researched important medical professionals throughout history including Virginia Apgar, and Ivan Pavlov. She wanted to also volunteer in a hospital but unfortunately, there were age restrictions. She'll be continuing her project next year as well!
We are so proud of all of the hard work that the eighth graders did this year! Their Capstone projects required a lot of research, insight, and creativity, and they all did a fantastic job!
Theater Worksop with Tacoma Youth Theater.
The students had a chance to work with artists from Tacoma Youth Theater the last few weeks. They performed improv and short scenes from famous plays. Everyone had a chance to participate in the many elements that make up the theatrical arts.
Vocal warm ups
Beauty and the Beast, or something…
Improv is much harder than it looks!

An incredible moment of magic onstage.

Kinetic flux profiling for quantitation of cellular metabolic fluxes
Jie Yuan, Bryson D Bennett, and Joshua D Rabinowitz
241 Carl Icahn Laboratory, Department of Chemistry and Lewis–Sigler Institute for Integrative
Genomics, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
This protocol enables quantitation of metabolic fluxes in cultured cells. Measurements are based on
the kinetics of cellular incorporation of stable isotope from nutrient into downstream metabolites. At
multiple time points, after cells are rapidly switched from unlabeled to isotope-labeled nutrient,
metabolism is quenched, metabolites are extracted and the extract is analyzed by chromatography–
mass spectrometry. Resulting plots of unlabeled compound versus time follow variants of exponential
decay, with the flux equal to the decay rate multiplied by the intracellular metabolite concentration.
Because labeling is typically fast (t1/2≤5 min for central metabolites in Escherichia coli), variations
on this approach can effectively probe dynamically changing metabolic fluxes. This protocol is
exemplified using E. coli and nitrogen labeling, for which quantitative flux data for ~15 metabolites
can be obtained over 3 d of work. Applications to adherent mammalian cells are also discussed.
Kinetic flux profiling (KFP) aims to provide a practical experimental approach for measuring
metabolic fluxes in live cells. The central idea of KFP is that larger metabolic fluxes are
associated with faster transmission of isotopic label from added nutrient to downstream
metabolites. The half-time of labeling of a metabolite will depend directly on the speed of
transmission of label into the metabolite (i.e., the flux) and inversely on the size of the
metabolite pool (i.e., the intracellular metabolite concentration). The KFP approach has been
used to investigate nitrogen assimilation fluxes in exponentially growing E. coli1, metabolic
flux changes accompanying onset of carbon starvation in E. coli2, carbon fluxes in E. coli fed
with glucose versus acetate (Daniel Amador-Noguez and J.D.R., unpublished data), aromatic
amino-acid pathway flux in nitrogen-starved E. coli and yeast3 and carbon flux in growing,
quiescent and virally infected human fibroblasts (Hilary Coller, Johanna Scarino, Joshua
Munger, Thomas Shenk, B.D.B., J.D.R., unpublished data).
This concept is illustrated in Figure 1. During exponential growth, the rate of production of
each metabolite (influx) should match its rate of consumption (efflux) so that the intracellular
concentration remains constant. Under this pseudosteady state, if an external nutrient is
instantaneously switched from natural to isotopically labeled, for a metabolite X directly
downstream of nutrient assimilation, unlabeled X (XU) will be replaced over time by its labeled
counterpart (X*) and the fraction of unlabeled X (XU/XT) will decay exponentially (Fig. 1). The
rate constant of this decay (kX) is determined by the ratio of the flux through X (fX) to the total
pool size of X (XT) as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, one can calculate the flux through X (fX)
from kX and XT. kX can be obtained experimentally by the protocol described here and XT by
a diversity of literature approaches4-6, including the protocol of Bennett et al.7. For an example
of quantitative analysis of data from more complex cases (which realistically involve

metabolites not immediately downstream of labeled nutrient and being formed by multiple
reactions), see the ANTICIPATED RESULTS section.
Experimental design
Accurately measuring kX is most easily achieved by rapid and complete switch of the nutrient
of interest from unlabeled to isotope-labeled form, followed by fast sampling of cells1. For
reliable flux measurements, both steps must be accomplished without perturbing cellular
metabolism. Otherwise, the artifacts induced by the handling steps will mask the true cellular
metabolic state8-12. To meet this need for nonadherent cells (e.g., E. coli1-3,13,
Saccharomyces cerevisiae3), we developed a filter culture technique in which cells are grown
on a membrane filter sitting on top of agarose plates loaded with media. The cells are fed by
nutrient diffusion from the underlying medium up through the filter. This technique enables
isotope switching by transferring the filter between agarose plates of different composition. It
also allows fast metabolic quenching by transferring the filter into cold organic solvent, which
stops metabolism (initially due to the temperature drop and subsequently by denaturing
enzymes) and simultaneously initiates the extraction process by disrupting the cell membrane.
Movements of the filter can be done in ~1 s. Minor deviations in the transfer time tend to have
minimal impact, as the cells continue to receive nutrients from the filter during the transfer.
Although the overall strategy is the same, the filter culture approach is not necessary for
adherent cell types like human fibroblasts. Instead, medium removal via quick aspiration is
followed by addition of isotope-labeled medium for isotope switch or cold organic solvent for
metabolic quenching and extraction. Specific cell-handling steps are provided in the protocol.
Overview of the workflow and experimental setups for KFP are shown in Figure 2. The step
of quantifying heavy and light (i.e., labeled and unlabeled) isotopic forms can be achieved by
any appropriate form of mass spectrometry (MS). Typically, we use liquid chromatography
(LC)–electrospray ionization (ESI)–triple-quadrupole MS operating in multiple reaction
monitoring (MRM) mode. MRM is a targeted form of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)
with the advantage of excellent sensitivity and linear dynamic range. LC separation before the
MS/MS analysis is valuable for separating isobaric compounds. Other forms of
chromatography-MS should also be applicable. These include gas chromatography–MS and
LC–time-of-flight–MS. For further information on analytical options, see the protocol of
Bennett et al.7. The rate constants obtained from KFP can then be combined with intracellular
concentrations of metabolites determined separately to calculate fluxes.
Typically, a single replicate of KFP is informative (as even a single replicate contains multiple
time points). For quantitative work where small differences between conditions are involved
or precise flux estimates are desired, 3–4 replicates are preferred. As KFP experiments are
internally controlled (by the multiple isotopic forms), external controls are not required. It is
often useful, however, to conduct switches from unlabeled to unlabeled media to ensure against
unanticipated metabolic shifts due to media change rather than isotope switch.
Application and limitations
Kinetic flux profiling provides an approach for experimentally quantifying metabolic fluxes
in live cells. The principal starting information required is the structure (connectivity) of the
metabolic network being investigated (see ANTICIPATED RESULTS for an example). An
advantage of the technique is that the experimental data provide a check on the pathway
architecture, based on the requirement for precursor metabolites to become labeled before their
downstream products. Quantitative analysis of fluxes by KFP is facilitated when the fluxes are
at steady state; however, differential KFP (described below) can provide quantitative data even
outside of the steady-state condition. Further quantitative assumptions are not required, as

Page 3
fluxes are calculated directly from the experimental results obtained as described here (kX) and
in the companion protocol of Bennett et al.7 (XT).
One can choose to use basic nutrient(s) (e.g., glucose, ammonia, etc.) to introduce isotopic
labels or to use special tracers for a specific pathway. We have successfully applied KFP to
measure fluxes involved in nitrogen metabolism in E. coli1,2, and for this reason, this protocol
uses the example of 15NH4Cl as the labeled nutrient in this model organism. The KFP approach
is, however, also widely applicable to other labeled nutrients and cell types, as demonstrated
by published work from our laboratory using 13C-glucose as the tracer in both E. coli and S.
cerevisiae3 and unpublished data from our laboratory with cultured human cells.
It is important to note that KFP measures gross fluxes: the labeling kinetics is related to the
sum of all fluxes feeding into (or, equivalently at steady state, flowing out of) a metabolite. In
the case of reversible reactions, this means that the flux measured by KFP may differ
significantly from the net pathway flux.
A limitation to the KFP approach is that quantitative flux information is reliably obtained only
for metabolites that turn over slowly relative to their upstream precursor. Consider a case in
which the isotope label is relayed from a precursor metabolite X to a downstream metabolite
Y. If X turns over faster than Y, then the labeling kinetics of Y will reliably reflect the flux
through Y, based on the magnitude of kY. In contrast, if X turns over at a much slower rate than
Y, then the labeling kinetics of Y will mainly depend upon the labeling of X, rendering
measurement of kY, and accordingly flux through Y, imprecise (a more quantitative treatment
of this important case is provided in the ANTICIPATED RESULTS). For a similar reason, the
uptake of the nutrient or the tracer needs to be efficient, and the nutrient must not accumulate
significantly internally. Otherwise, the rate of labeling of metabolites will be largely
determined by the rate of turnover of the internal pool of the nutrient/tracer, rendering it
impossible to accurately quantitate the downstream fluxes.
Differential KFP
Differential KFP provides an example of a KFP variant suitable for quantitative analysis of
dynamically changing fluxes. It was developed to evaluate changes in biosynthesis and
macromolecule degradation when cells are exposed to an environmental perturbation. It has
been used to demonstrate that carbon starvation in E. coli results in rapid turning off of de
novo biosynthetic fluxes, with protein degradation becoming the major source of intracellular
amino acids2. As shown in Figure 3, differential KFP consists of two (or more) sets of the KFP
experiment, with the isotope switch initiated at different times with respect to the perturbation
(e.g., preceding or following the perturbation). The kinetic patterns of isotope incorporation
into metabolites obtained from these experiments, in addition to the knowledge of metabolite
concentration changes triggered by the perturbation, can often be used to determine the effect
of the perturbation on metabolic fluxes. Carbon source withdrawal in E. coli is used as an
example of a perturbation in this protocol.
Alternative approaches
Efforts at measuring cellular metabolic fluxes have been ongoing for decades and a diversity
of valuable tools have been developed14-20. Several of these contain elements similar to the
current KFP approach. Instead of detailing these related approaches, here we focus on two
conceptually distinct alternatives: flux balance analysis (FBA)21 and metabolic flux analysis
Flux balance analysis is a constraints-based computational approach that requires little
experimental data and offers an estimation of the range of feasible flux distributions in steadily

growing cells21,23. Although it has proven powerful, especially for E. coli24, the precise
determination of fluxes by FBA relies on an objective function and related assumptions (e.g.,
that E. coli maximizes biomass yield per molecule of carbon source consumed23-25). For most
organisms, a validated objective function is not available, limiting the ability of FBA to make
quantitative flux predictions in the absence of experimental data26-28.
Metabolic flux analysis is an experimental approach that typically involves feeding cells with
a mixture of different 13C-labeled glucose species (e.g., uniformly labeled and only one carbon
labeled) for a prolonged period under metabolic steady state29, until the isotopic labeling
pattern of the compounds to be measured (most typically proteic amino acids) reaches a steady
state (>1 h). From the labeling pattern of proteic amino acids30 or primary free
metabolites31, metabolic fluxes (mostly of central carbon metabolism) are then deconvolved
with the aid of computer modeling32,33.
To assist in the choice of the appropriate experimental approach, MFA and KFP are compared
here. MFA is well suited to measuring the ratio of fluxes at branch points when the alternative
branches yield different labeling patterns of a downstream metabolite30,31. It is also suitable
for large-scale studies with respect to the number of species/strains29, as the fluxes (relative
to glucose uptake) of multiple pathways can be obtained from a single sample. No time courses
or pool size data are needed, which reduces the experimental demand compared with KFP.
However, MFA (at least in its most commonly practiced form) is largely limited to carbon
metabolism, as labeling by other elements rarely produces the rich spectrum of labeling patterns
of metabolites required for flux deconvolution (e.g., there are 32 theoretical C-labeling states
but only 2 possible N-labeling states of glutamate—labeled or unlabeled). In contrast, KFP is
more versatile in terms of what pathways can be monitored. In addition, KFP also has the
following strengths compared with MFA: easy data deconvolution (in many cases, the
differential equations of KFP have analytical solutions in the form of exponential functions
with few free parameters, enabling direct parameter determination); short labeling time (no
requirement for incorporation of isotope labels to reach steady state, which allows effective
probing of dynamically changing fluxes using variants like differential KFP); and KFP can
provide absolute fluxes instead of just split ratios. Each individual approach has limitations,
and combining multiple approaches will generally yield the most complete understanding.

A ferociously entertaining thriller with sympathetic characters, stunning set pieces and pulsating excitement.
28 Weeks Later is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. It is brutal and almost exhaustingly terrifying, as any respectable zombie movie should be. It is also bracingly smart, both in its ideas and in its techniques.
There's no better fun for movie lovers than a small, unheralded film that turns out to be terrific -- unless it's a small, unheralded sequel that trumps the original.
Swift, vicious and grimly imaginative, the zombie film 28 Weeks Later exceeds its predecessor, "28 Days Later," in every way.
Those rigorously moral and humanistic underpinnings give 28 Weeks Later a kind of power that 100 Saws and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes could never achieve.
28 Weeks Later has a stronger story line, equally fine performances, greater tension, enough gore to satisfy the most hard-core zombie fan, and a narrative pace that flings us from the opening scenes to the very last image.
Excels at creating a keen, creepy sense of a civilization stopped dead in its tracks -- vaporized, almost, except for those disemboweled bodies left still undisposed.
The ending is a set-up for yet another sequel: Can "28 Months Later" be very far away?
Under Fresnadillo's assured direction, 28 Weeks Later blurs the line between genre entertainment and a photojournalist's shots of the next urban catastrophe.
I give the slight edge to the first movie because I prefer Boyle's craft to Fresnadillo's, but the action is more intense here, and I greeted the thought of a third film -- virtually assured in the closing shots -- with a little yip of "Yes!" Likely you will, too.
Bigger action, more amazing deserted (and devastated) London sequences and biting contemporary relevance, if a touch less heart than the original.
The sequel trumps its predecessor for sustained doomsday gloom and suggests this might be the man to adapt Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel The Road.
28 Weeks Later lacks the streamlined thrust of its predecessor but makes for compelling, adrenaline-fueled viewing just the same.
This sequel to the apocalyptic splatter flick "28 Days Later" . . . (2002) is still well equipped to rip your face off.
The first hour of this lean, mean, 95-minute scream machine is so tasty that it redeems the predictable conclusion.
A gruelingly tense, deftly plotted, and slyly intelligent piece of work. And also it's really really disgusting.
Relentlessly grim and grisly, 28 Weeks Later is not for the faint of heart. But its provocative post-apocalyptic theme makes for a smart and deeply unsettling film.
28 Weeks Later is flawed -- the constant reappearance of one key character verges on the absurd -- but it knows where it's going, and it gets there in a chilling blaze of fire, blood and poisonous fog.
t's an exciting, well-directed thriller that, while providing more than enough action and gore to satisfy genre fans, also offers the political commentary that has characterized zombie movies going back at least as far as "Night of the Living Dead."
The biggest sin of 28 Weeks Later is that it's not in the same league as the near-perfect movie that came before it.
Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who was essentially handpicked by now-executive producer Danny Boyle, gives us a more depressing look at humanity while retaining several of his predecessor's moves. This isn't always a good thing, since Fresnadillo can't seem to get his fill of low-light hyper-edited fight scenes or frenetic hand-held shots of people running, but when used right it adds to the sense of claustrophobia and impending doom.
Where the original gave you something to chew on, the sequel is more interested in chewing on you.
While 28 Weeks Later ultimately falls shy of classic status (it's no Panic in Year Zero!), there are several hard-to-shake scenes -- nightmare visions, really -- that reveal the infected populace to be far less dangerous to the fabric of a civilized society than, perhaps, the very notion of civilization itself.
The mayhem is presented sparingly enough to be suspenseful, some of the sequences are genuinely terrifying and, compared with Hollywood's last zombie movie, the Robert Rodriguez half of "Grindhouse," it's a masterpiece.
Only occasionally does Fresnadillo rise above the mundane, but, to his credit, the exceptions are worth savouring.
Doesn't match the impact of its predecessor, which both revived and reimagined the zombie-film genre.
"28 Days Later," while not terribly original, was suspenseful and involving. 28 Weeks Later is neither. The characters aren't as sympathetic or interesting.
Deals with emotional concerns for half an hour. Then it turns into a mindless bloodfest, where it's impossible to care which characters end on the zombie gore-gasbord.

They leave everything to chance! noSure, zombie movies are not about realism, but does every single character have to be so **** stupid?!!!? They leave everything to chance! no wonder they end up dead, it's so full of mistakes: awful security; the soldiers must be thinking this is a joke, there is no other way. They let two STUPID kids go into the infected zone, those kids are also stupid enough to go near and even touch dead infected bodies! The soldiers don't keep each other informed, they don't secure the infected mother (no permanent surveillance, no cameras, no alarm), the husband just so happens to pass EVERY security guards like it was nothing and stupidly kisses her, which makes ONE infected and no **** soldier is smart enough to shoot him: they go alone, they're not careful, THEY D'ONT EVEN DRAW THEIR WEAPONS!!! They can't even secure the civilians in the SECURITY room because the infected can easily get there by just OPENING THE DOORS!! Then when they get ALL infected and the soldiers have to shoot everybody they use snipers! Not explosives or flamethrowers as they later do, but long-range snipers who take down ONE infected at the time! Then they decide to bomb the whole zone through airborne attack and release toxic gas (which makes the bombs pointless + it destroys all the buildings) actually both are pointless because some infected even managed to survive that! The remaining survivors try to escape the gas be locking themselves up in a car, which shouldn't work because cars are in no way gas-proof, they do cover their mouths with clothes though, and it shouldn't work either otherwise the army wouldn't be using this gas if it didn't penetrate very thin clothes! Afterwards, they get chased by a helicopter and drive into a metro station to escape the bullets (it is commonly known that trained US soldier can't shoot a car from a heli in more than 2 min), but instead of going back up and waiting for the heli to leave, they go deeper into the completely dark station with NO LIGHTS except for ONE night vision scope on the dead soldier's gun and guess what? they get separated in the complete darkness with an infected, but of course no one shoots until someone dies, no one screams "I'm here! HELP!!!" and they leave the gun behind... -_- It's only at this point of the movie that the two kids realize they're immune and that's why it's so important that they live because it did not cross ANYONE's mind to tell them before, which makes me think that the survivors are as brain damaged as the infected... THE END! This movie surely does not deserve a good rating, except for the good acting and makeup, otherwise SXF was sometimes **** music was nice too.

LarryBFeb 2, 2010No, Conor B., how misleading Metacritic users can be. Are you serious? You're suggesting that a zombie movie is...implausible? Are you No, Conor B., how misleading Metacritic users can be. Are you serious? You're suggesting that a zombie movie is...implausible? Are you kidding me? You're an idiot. Zombie movies aren't supposed to be about realism. They're supposed to be scary and intense, and that's exactly what 28 Weeks Later was. Stick to the more important George Clooney type movies with realistic situations and realistic people. Or, you know, you could just go outside and experience realistic situations yourself, but those aren't that entertaining, are they? And, Harry G., what they hell are you talking about? There were only a few scenes that even used CG.... Most of the people underrating this excellent movie don't even know what the hell they are talking about: they're either enraged that this movie is a sequel (and all sequels MUST suck, it's a traditional POV to take on all sequels) or they're upset over the lack of realism...in a movie about zombies. I'll stick with the critics, thanks.… Full Review »

Deer Tick performs at the 2014 Newport Folk Festival.
Adam Kissick for NPR

July 29, 2014 Think of Newport Folk staples Deer Tick as a turbo-charged bar band, free-wheeling and versatile. The group performed at the 2014 Newport Folk Festival on Saturday, July 26.

March 24, 2014 In the past, the band's genre-bending sound has won it comparisons to Uncle Tupelo. But recent albums have veered closer to straightforwardly energetic rock. Hear Deer Tick on stage in West Virginia.

December 12, 2013 The Rhode Island rock band visits WXPN to perform songs from its latest album, Negativity. Lead singer and songwriter John McCauley reflects on how the tumult in his personal life affected the new record.

July 18, 2012 Deer Tick frontman John McCauley performs "Main Street" among the portable toilets at the 2012 Sasquatch Music Festival. Appropriately, the song is a morning-after number.
October 27, 2011 Deer Tick has just released its fourth album, Divine Providence. Rock critic Ken Tucker says the album takes the Rhode Island band in a more raw-sounding direction.

August 28, 2009 With energy and dark humor, Deer Tick makes edgy, sparse Americana. After beginning as a duo, the group has evolved into a self-described rock-rock-rock outfit with a little something more: a twist of alt-country and gritty blues. Hear highlights from the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

August 2, 2009 Weathered and shot through with bursts of noise, Deer Tick's tunes can be endearingly sloppy, but the band's arrangements remain thoughtful.

September 17, 2007 Deer Tick understands that modern American folk is a diverse and rich genre that branches into rock, country and blues. Rich, haunting imagery of death, violence and angels lends an almost apocalyptic nature to "Ashamed," an otherwise tranquil song that recalls the work of Bob Dylan.

Not everything needs to be connected to the internet. But for around the same cost as an app-enabled toothbrush, you can now preorder an equally connected air conditioner. And instead of nagging you to brush more, the Aros might actually save you some money.
Aros, which is available for been working to develop "smart" products, but this is the first big-ticket item they've built together.
At $300, Aros is comparable in price to other window units of the same power. It's definitely more attractive than your standard clunker, too:
But why connect your air conditioner to the internet? According to Quirky, Aros will keep track of how much electricity costs in your area, and will help you budget your use accordingly. It even factors in the weather, using extreme temperature spikes to predict when you'll go over your budget.
Quirky's budgeting tools might not make you use less energy, though: Another big draw is the unit's ability to turn on remotely so you can cool the room while you're on the way home. Unless you're one of those devil-may-care types who keeps the air conditioner on all day to keep the house frosty for your return, therefore, you might even end up using slightly more power. But for anyone who doesn't have the option of installing a smart thermostat like Nest, an Aros could be a big improvement over the decidedly dumb window unit of the past.

San Francisco International Airport is now offering a yoga room. Travelers can stretch and de-stress before squeezing into those painfully crowded planes. It's equipped with mats, warm lights kept low and walls painted a serene blue. But if that's not what relaxes you, there is always the bar. It's MORNING EDITION.
