Physiology Syllabus
Medical Physiology Course Syllabus
Institutional Objectives (Competencies)
The Medical Physiology Course is a 7 credit hour course, which provides an understanding how cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems function together to create one human organism, with special emphasis on clinical physiology. In this regard, the course lays the basis for understanding diagnosis and treatment of diseases and mechanisms of drugs. It can be followed without previous physiological training. However basic knowledge in anatomy, histology, and biochemistry are expected.
Sessions are presented in a cooperative learning format (Team-Based Learning), in combination with interactive lectures, discussion and role play of clinical cases, and exercises on own bodies. There are opportunities to practice introductory clinical skills in class and at the RHIC Simulation Center.
Course material, assignements, and grades will be available on the Canvas course website (F525-155154).
(Institutional Learning Objectives are provided in parentheses).
1. Identify gaps in personal knowledge of human physiology, identify and evaluate resources to help remedy these deficiencies in your medical knowledge (PBL2).
2. Indicate where and explain how physiological principles contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the human body and to the understanding of human disease, its diagnosis and treatment (MK1).
3. Explain cellular/ molecular mechanisms responsible for the ability of the nervous system to function as an electrical communication system in the body, including its involvement in sensing the external and internal environement, its role in muscle function, and the role of the autonomic nervous system in modifying physiological functions in the body (MK1).
4. Differentiate the molecular and functional characteristics of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle fibers, including the mechanisms responsible for the activation of the entire muscle and how this allows that tissue to create force and movement (MK1).
5. Explain the processes used by the cardiovascular system to regulate and insure proper blood flow as well as maintain proper exchange of materials between tissues and the circulation, including the electrophysiology and the mechanics of the heart, hemodynamics, blood flow and microcirculatory control, trans-capillary exchange processes, and special features of individual organ circulations (MK1).
6. Apply knowledge of the cardiovascular system to the understanding of ECG readings and disease states such as heart failure, hypertension, and shock (MK3).
7. Describe the organization and function of the respiratory system with particular emphasis on the mechanics of breathing, alveolar ventilation and perfusion, transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the control of breathing and apply the knowledge to the understanding of lung diseases (MK1).
8. Explain the processes by which the kidneys sample plasma in order to regulate the chemical composition and volume of the extracellular fluid (ECF) as well as to remove substances from plasma, including cellular and molecular processes in the nephron and their role in the regulation of ECF volume, osmolality, electrolyt and pH balance, and formation of urine in normal and disease states (MK1).
9. Explain the functions, processes and interactions of neuroendocrine systems as they affect the following: growth, development, tissue repair, maintenance of anabolic and catabolic pathways, energy storage and utilization, and bone metabolism, in normal and disease states (MK1).
10. Describe the organization, functions, and dysfunctions of the male and female reproductive systems, and the role of reproductive hormones in sexual differentiation, the onset of puberty, cotnrol of sexual reproduction, fertility, pregnancy, parturition, and lactation (MK1).
11. Explain how gastrointestinal motility, secretion, digestion, and absorption are controlled, and apply this knowledge to the understanding of major diseases of the gastrointestinal system (MK1).
12. Discuss the importance of thermoregulation and explain the major mechanisms involved in maintaining body temperature (MK1).
13. Appraise the effects of exercise on physiologic systems and explain how exercise may mitigate the effects of aging and disease (MK4).
- Defined by IUSM as Medical Physiology Core Objectives
- Defined by the American Physiological Society
Institutional Objectives/ Competencies
IUSM has six statewide competencies.Two of them are officially evaluated in this course:
Medical Knowledge (MK)
Students will apply evidence-based principles of biomedical clinical, epidemiological, and social-behavioral sciences to guide diagnosis, treatment, and patient care decisions.
In this course, you be evaluated during Team-Based Learning Quizzes, Multiple choice exams, and the National Board of Medical Examination Physiology Subject Exam. Oral and Written Reflections will be considered as well.
MK1: Apply knowledge of normal human structure, function, and development, from the molecular through whole body levels, to distinguish health from disease and explain how physiologic mechanismsm are integrated and regulated in the body.
MK3: Describe the altered structure and function resulting from disease, injuries, and functional deficits affecting organ systems*, with an ability to interpret the clinical, histopathologic, laboratory,a nd radiographic manifestations commonly seen in practice.
MK4: Explain the principles of and describe the rationale for interventions (behavioral, genetic, mechanical, nutritional, pharmacologic, surgical, and therapeutic) aimed at the prevention, treatmetn, and/or mangagement of diseases, injuries, and functional deficits affecting organ systems*.
*Organ systems include the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, renal, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal systems
Practice Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI)
Students will be able to actively set and pursue clear learning goals and exploit new opportunities for intellectual growth and development. The student will demonstrate the ability to generate critical, reliable, valid self-assessment(s) and use this knowledge for self-regulation and to promote their development. Students will be able to recognize and thorougly characterize a problem, develop an informed plan of actin, act to resolve the problem, and subsequently assses the result(s) of their action.
In this course, you will be evaluated during Team-Based Learning, during Simulated Patient Case Experiences, during Small Group Work, and during Role-Play. Satisfactory performance will be assessed by observation by faculty and staff. A main criteria will be your self awareness, willingness to practice, and ability to improve according to feedback.
PBLI2: Generate and analyze a set of potential solutions by applying prior knowledge to a new experience, recognizing the limitations of prior experience and knowledge, and identifying new information requires to solve the problem.
The following textbooks will be routinely used in the course. All formats (hard copy or e-text) are acceptable:
L.S. Costanzo. Physiology. W.B. Saunders Company.
L.S. Costanzo. Physiology. Board Review Series. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Following, more in-depths textbooks are recommended:
R.A. Rhoades and D. Bell. Medical Physiology. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 5th edition.
R.M. Berne and M.N. Levy. Physiology. Mosby.
W.F. Boron and F.L. Boulpaep. Medical Physiology. Saunders
A.C. Guyton and J.E. Hall. Textbook of Medical Physiology. W.B. Saunders Company.

|Course Tests
Test 1: 9%
Test 2: 10%
Test 3: 17%
Test 4: 17%
Test 5: 17%
|TBL Quizzes
|Final Exam
Course Tests and TBL Quizzes will be primarily in the USMLE multiple choice format. Individual results will be available on Canvas for formative feedback.
If you fail a unit exam, Dr. Waite will contact you and invite you to discuss your performance and to implement study strategies to avoid recurrence on a subsequent exam, including locally available assistance. In addition, you may also want to contact your IUSM-TH mentor and the Medical Student Affairs for assistance.
Any form of cheating is incompatible with the moral conduct expected of members of the medical profession and will not be tolerated. Any student suspected of academic dishonestry will be referred to the Center Director and the Student Promotions Committee and may be dismissed from medical school.
Absence from an examination without a justifiable reason will result in a Fail grade for the missed examination.
The Participation grade will be determined by your active and self-directed learning abilities. Every student is encouraged to identify learning gaps and to actively seek to close them, as well as share new knowledge with the class. Details of assessment will be presented.
The Final Exam will be the Comprehensive Physiology Examination, often called "Shelf Exam" (NBME exam). This multiple choice exam is provided by the National Board of Medical Examiners as a preparation towards the Step 1 Licensing exam. You will take the Physiology Only test version. You will receive a percentile grade that allows to nationally rank your individual ability to apply physiology in the clinical context.
Grade distribution will be based on the percentage distribution guideline stated below.
|93 - 100%
|85 - 92%
|High Pass
|70 - 84%
|Below 70%
Final grade distribution will be in alignment with the state-wide IUSM guideline on grade distribution:
Honors (10-20%),
High Pass (30-50%),
Pass (40-60%)
Fail (0-5%).
Honors: This grade demonstrates particularly outstanding performance.
High Pass: This grade represents solid work above average in all areas of the course.
Pass: This grade is given when all course objectives are satisfactorily met.
Students who need to remediate the course must pass the NBME exam at the 15th percentile or higher to satisfy the statewide remediation program.
The course follows the policies of Indiana University School of Medicine as outlined in the Student Handbook. Professional conduct is the guiding principle for lessons and laboratories.
Following are relevant direct links:
Grade and Competency Appeal Process
Attendance is generally expected. Dr. Waite will make it clear when attendance is optional (typically some lectures and review sessions) so as to leave room for your individual learning style. However, attendance can be made mandatory at any time during the course for a struggling student.

This is a lovely hotel in an old mansion near the sights in Bruge. The rooms are elegant & ours looked out onto a coutyard(although there seemed to be some kind of construction going on across the courtyard). The staff is very helpful. The breakfast buffet is very nice & had a nice selection of hot & cold breakfast foods. We had a king room. It was quite large & had tea/coffee service. The bathroom was also a goid size. Everything worked & the room was clean & neat.

French Kicks
Went to a movie the other night, and the guy who sold me the ticket had a long swoop of hair hanging down the middle of his forehead, in apparent homage to Mike Score, the former stylist who sang lead for A Flock of Seagulls. My reaction was instantaneous: I ran. But I'd better get used to such sights, since the soothing elixir of historical revisionism is presently inspiring plenty of music that recalls MTV's earliest era.
French Kicks (left) are among the more listenable acts mining this territory. On The Trial of the Century, cut for the independent Star Time imprint, vocalist/drummer Nick Stumpf displays the sort of lighter-than-air tenor that caused the hearts of mid-'80s listeners from both genders to flutter, and he uses it well on the ultra-melodic "One More Time" and "Oh Fine," a number built upon a rhythm that's midway between a clap-track and a clogging lesson. Some tunes feel daintier than is strictly necessary, but the band charms more often than it irritates, which wasn't always true of the long-ago acts that helped inspire the Kicks' sound.
Unlike the guy with the Seagulls fetish, they're unlikely to trigger your flight instinct.

Not only loosens up my back, but can also be used to grill hamburgers. LOLReview by Ben Dover on 09/10/2015 3:37 AM
I bought this 4 years ago and have used it multiple times daily over that time span and this is great for getting soothing heat deep down for quick relief. This finally died and I am ordering another one as it is that good. The amount of usage that I put on this is probably 5 or 10 times what most folks would use it, so I am impressed with how well it held up and can't wait to get another one. Don View more

Foster Care in Texas: A Broken System, Without Much Hope for Improvement
Thousands of Texas foster children are subject to "immeasurable and permanent harm and are deprived of the opportunity for a safe children," according to a class-action lawsuit filed by a New York-based advocacy group against Governor Rick Perry and state child welfare officials.
Filed in March by Children's Rights, the lawsuit is filed on behalf of approximately 12,000 kids in the Department of Family and Protective Services' Permament Managing Conservatorship program. Of course, the suit doesn't say anything that state officials haven't said for years -- namely, that foster kids are separated from siblings, bounced throughout substandard facilities across the state, and given little chance of finding a permanent home. Even Perry's Adoption Review Committee recently noted that the state system often does more harm than good.
But DFPS and others say the lawsuit couldn't come at a worse time; that, for the first time in memory, stakeholders in the foster system have worked together to produce a redesign that addresses problems that allowed children to languish for far too long.
Yet, looking at the recommendations, proffered by a highly touted "Public Private Partnership," it's difficult to tell how the changes -- namely, adjustments to contracting and payment procedures -- will produce the significant improvements officials have been calling for for years. And it's also unclear exactly how the lawsuit itself will produce sweeping reform; while Children's Rights' suit has brought more attention to the state's troubled system, it does little in the way of bringing bold new ideas to the table.

Meanwhile, thousands of kids are stuck in a system that offers little chance of escape. (As the lawsuit notes, roughly 500 children have been in foster care for ten years.) These children have been ripped out of supposedly abusive or neglectful environments, only to be placed in potentially similar situations by the state. Such a foster system could not exist in a state government that sincerely cares about protecting its most vulnerable population. As one unidentified state judge said in an oft-cited quote, referring to kids languishing in PMC: "These are the children that even God has forgotten."
This week's cover story examines the lawsuit, the foster system's history, the planned redesign, and what some kids who've aged out of the system think of it all.

Birth Control coverage under the Affordable Care Act (which many unfortunately still think is NOT the same as Obamacare, thank your local Faux News station) has proven to be a hardcore "issue" for GOP and Tea Party misogynists, who upon losing the last election vowed to change their ways. However, they are unsurprisingly still hellbent on describing contraceptive users with ridiculously degrading terms as "irresponsible" or "in need of sugar daddies" and "helpless" while simultaneously claiming there's no war on women.
Apparently, women* are damned if they do and damned if they don't. "Irresponsible" if they take measures to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, and "irresponsible" if they don't have access to contraceptives via a sex education lacking GOP. Should they come face to face with an unwanted pregnancy, taking the steps necessary or not in their own particular health situations is not a matter that is under their control.
[box type="shadow"] Mike Huckabee, Fox News Host and former Arkansas governor, stated it simply at the Republican National Committee winter meeting, January 23rd, 2014. "Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That's not a war on them; it's war for them. And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. Let us take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be."[/box]
I would love to know how limiting a woman's* ability to get access to contraceptives, and therein limiting her choice of when or when not to become pregnant, is aiding the in equality of women*, and NOT a war on their own personal choices, and ability to make them. By pinning Democratic leaders who believe that Birth Control is an important aspect of women's* health choices for a multitude of reasons that span even farther than just a pregnancy preventative ( regulating the cycle, ovarian cyst prevention, acne and extreme cystic acne prevention, anxiety prevention, painful menstruation prevention, which are just a few examples of other positive uses of contraceptives ), as "telling women* they are helpless", is totally ironic, due to the fact that if Republican leaders like Huckabee got their way, a woman* who had no access to birth control, and no means to purchase it outside of her health plan, would be helpless but to choose between the potentiality of an abortion or a potentially unwanted pregnancy since she was given no preventative options suited strictly for her own personal body chemistry, internally.
By denying what we know about human sexuality ( that many people, not all, but many enjoy having sex for reasons other than just making children ), GOP leaders not only shame women* for totally normal sexual urges furthering the false and sexism laced notion that sexual women* are abnormal "whores", deny basic common knowledge that people will have sex either safely or unsafely regardless of whether or not they want to deny it, but lack any basic understanding of the female* reproductive system, in that no, women* CAN'T go inside themselves and turn things off and on – and yes, contraceptives helps people to control when and when not they want to get pregnant.
Or, take it from Former Sen. Rick Santorum "You don't need insurance for these types of relatively small expenditures. This is simply someone trying to impose their values on somebody else, with the arm of the government doing so. That should offend everybody, people of faith and no faith that the government could get on a roll that is that aggressive."
Who had any idea that potentially becoming pregnant was a small expenditure, or that contraceptives that can spend far past $100 depending on what is needed for each individual woman*, was a small expenditure. Maybe Santorum should attempt to pay for necessary medications on minimum wage. Who had any idea that stating that one wishes to spend so much a month, to prevent the massive expenditures needed to raise a child, or to improve their personal health, was imposing values of anyone else. Last time I checked, telling en entire group of people, that you as a male politician, will never fully comprehend ( especially within reproductive health ), that they are NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPTION, was imposing a belief system. Usually, giving people a multitude of healthy options to choose for themselves, is a sign of non-oppressive methods of practice.
But let's get to the good stuff, aside from Huckabee and Santorum, whom unfortunately are just the tip of the iceberg, telling women* what they should and shouldn't do with their bodies, shaming them for their sexuality, telling them they are "in need of Uncle Sugar Daddy" if they decide that contraceptive is a positive health measure for themselves, they, along with every other GOP leader complaining about birth control coverage, surprisingly, didn't do one thing: have any qualms with the Affordable Care Act covering Viagra, Penis Pumps, Cialis or healthcare covered items socially accepted as "male*". In fact NOT ONCE did a GOP member even MENTION that coverage of Viagra, Cialis and penis pumps under Obamacare, and deliberately attacked contraception use for no reason other than their apparent obsession with reproductive health of women*.
The government spends $819 million annually on Viagra'
'The government spends $782 million annually on Cialis'.
'The government spent $172 million in the last five years on penis pumps.
So why wouldn't these officials be talking about these subjects if they actually, ACTUALLY cared about spending, and not obsessing over women's* choices. The answer is obvious, because, it's not about spending, it's about scare tactics, control tactics, and the sexism rampant within the GOP.
Contraception use, while being an obvious preventative measure for an unwanted pregnancy, and a simple step to potentially prevent an abortion, amidst a multitude of other serious health measures ( you would think the GOP would be ALL for contraceptives…..if this actually wasn't controlling women's* bodies and choices), has become a battleground for the GOP, while male* sexual items and medications, are somehow not in the same boat, despite the fact that things like penis pumps won't probably dictate a man's* career choice, or future income, or basically change the entire fabric of his entire life……
*added for clarification that not all women have a uterus, and not all men have penises, and that both gender affiliate terms are multifaceted

Trying to make it as a sports commentator.
The world's third-largest youth soccer tournament, Schwan's USA Cup, is held each summer on a vast stretch of converted farmland in Blaine, Minnesota. The complex comprises fifty-two full-size fields and an inadequate number of shade trees; it is a desert of grass. Throughout the week of play, parents huddled beneath umbrellas, protecting themselves from the sun, if not the heat. They shouted encouragement to their children and epithets at referees.
On the final day of competition, John Hadden sat at a folding table beside field A-1. He'd been hired by a local public-access channel to call play-by-play for a U-19 women's semifinals match. His pants were khaki; his loafers, shiny; his briefcase was leather with brass clasps—his appearance and bearing resembled that of an accountant. He estimated that no more than two hundred viewers would tune into the broadcast. "There's an if-a-tree-falls-in-a-forest quality to gigs like this," he told me, "which, if your aim is to reach people, isn't ideal."
Hadden's aim is to reach people. He wants to announce for Major League Baseball one day and has spent the last decade traveling the country to call games for farm clubs: the Idaho Falls Chukars, the Yakima Bears, the New Orleans Zephyrs. Every summer he lives somewhere else. Winters he returns to Minnesota, his home state, and picks up whatever commentary work he can get. He has called Pee Wee hockey tournaments. He has called high school gymnastics meets. While he admitted he was somewhat disappointed, at thirty-one, to be working youth soccer, he took his assignment seriously. Before the morning's game he'd done three hours of prep work, he said, researching the teams and their previous results, the players' names, the facility, the weather forecast. Rain, for the first time all week, was predicted. The parents' umbrellas would be put to new use. Read More »
I Spent $300 on a T-shirt Last Week, and Other News
April 14, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Need a morning pick-me-up? Say it with me: "I am full of impulses to shove animal matter into my poorly designed facial rot hole … I must endlessly defecate. I need to fuck. I need to be fucked. It's fantastic and terrifying. Fascinating. Pointless, swirling molecules. But, yeah, having a fun time. I spent $300 on a T-shirt last week … People are horrible. People are cruel. People are abused. Social circles, especially in small towns, can get fucking nasty. I just write what I see and what I've experienced. I don't deliberately set out to aggravate or shock. I don't censor myself. You need to be honest. You need to not hold back. I hate twee art. I find it dishonest; a false, privileged construct. Life is not nice. Existence is sad and cruel." That's Simon Hanselmann, the author of the cult comic series Megg, Mogg and Owl and a dealer in hard truths.
- If you prefer your truths a little softer, or maybe just leavened with bons mots, you could try Dorothy Parker. Or maybe not. Robert Gottlieb reminds us that her quips and flair concealed an enormous sadness: "Death and suicide are never far from her thoughts—she titled her collections Enough Rope, Sunset Gun, Death and Taxes, and Not So Deep as a Well … Was her poetry just rhyming badinage dressed up as trenchant, plaintive ruminations on love, loss, and death? Her subjects are serious, but her cleverness undercuts them: there's almost always a last line, a sardonic zinger, to signal that even if she does care, the more fool she. Even her most famous couplet—'Men seldom make passes / At girls who wear glasses'—bandages a wound, although plenty of men made passes."
- Paintings look great in galleries, but I find that they really shine, in all their subtlety, when they're hanging behind politicians at podiums. As Kelly Grovier writes, "The silent stare of a poised portrait gazing at you over the shoulder of David Cameron or Vladimir Putin is often more loaded and more deliberately orchestrated than you might think … Obama's decision to hold a press conference announcing his determination to close Guantanamo once and for all in the shadow of a swashbuckling portrait of Obama's forebear, Theodore Roosevelt, was hardly accidental. After all, Teddy Roosevelt, who in 1898 led a legendary cavalry of so-called 'Rough Riders' to victory against Spanish overlords in Cuba, helped establish U.S. control over Guantanamo Bay in the first place. By placing himself visually alongside a heroic portrait of the galloping leader, who is credited with the credo 'speak softly and carry a big stick,' Obama hoped to bask in the reflected testosterone of America's most macho president."
- Bad news: most book reviewers do their jobs hastily and carelessly. Good news: Edward Copleston's 1807 satire "Advice to a Young Reviewer, with a Specimen of the Art" really holds up, because book critics are still using the same set of shortcuts and white lies. "In the art of reviewing I would lay down as a fundamental position," Copleston writes, "which must be the mainspring of all your criticisms—write what will sell." He also recommends perusing the table of contents and the index: "Here then is a fund of wealth for the Reviewer, lying upon the very surface; if he knows anything of his business, he will turn all these materials against the author, carefully suppressing the source of his information, and as if drawing from the stores of his own mind, long ago laid up for this very purpose. If the author's references are correct, a great point is gained; for, by consulting a few passages of the original works, it will be easy to discuss the subject with the air of having a previous knowledge of the whole."
- Larry Clark and Harmony Korine's Kids is more than twenty years old now. Moira Weigel blew the dust off her old VHS and took another look: "At the time, the press hailed Kids as 'raw,' 'frank,' 'honest,' and 'gritty'—all adjectives that boasted of its fidelity to the realities of kids just a little older than me. I couldn't judge for myself since I never got around to seeing it. Watching it now, at thirty, those words still seem apt for describing something important about the film. But that something is not its realism … What I feel most, watching Kids in 2015, is that it is shallow. I mean this partly as praise. The shallowness is the key to the film's ability to transport us into the world of its characters, as if participating in their refusal to think of consequences, to look beyond the here and now … The problem is that Kids reproduces the superficiality that makes it so stylistically compelling in its approach to its subject matter. Watching it today, I was hoping for an account of the ways that the fear of AIDS shaped how young people in that time and place learned about desire. Instead the film recasts the virus into the threat lurking in the background of a kind of nightmare fairy tale. The role that HIV plays is to give a sense of momentum to what is basically an observational essay."

Dirty Parts
July 9, 2013 | by Kate Levin
The last time I slept with Carolyn she pushed me off her in the midst of our lovemaking and turned away from me.
At first I did not understand what it was she wanted. But she bumped her behind against me until I realized that was what I was being offered, a marble peach.
No, I said.
Try it. She looked over her shoulder. Please.
I came up close behind her.
Just easy, she said. Just a little.
I went in too fast.
Not that much, she said.
She said, Oh.
I pressed in, remained, pumped. She arched, clearly in some pain.
And I found, suddenly, that I was thrilled.
I started raiding my parents' library on the belief that reading their books would let me reproduce their thoughts. Same words in, same ideas out: the alchemy made sense to a middle schooler. When I started plucking novels from their shelves in an investigative frenzy, I was surprised that my parents didn't seem more concerned about their privacy. Couldn't they see that I was about to tunnel into their psyches? Wouldn't their jig soon be up?
A nice theory, but a book or two later, the ominous fog of adult tension that drove me to espionage in the first place still pervaded our house, inscrutable as ever. If novels couldn't help me decipher it, I consoled myself, at least they could help me escape it; that much I knew from an established history of total, meal-skipping absorption in the Lois Lowrys and L. M. Montgomerys on my own bookshelf. So I kept at my parents' paperbacks with a shrug of "why not?"—feeling at times engaged and accomplished, at others bewildered and bored—until the day I picked up Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent and wandered into that passage, in which the narrator found, suddenly, that he was thrilled.

Cité Soleil
June 15, 2010 | by Jeff Antebi
Jeff Antebi's photography appears in the summer issue of The Paris Review. Below, he describes his time in Cité Soleil, Haiti.
I went to Haiti for the elections in April, 2009. When I got back home and started showing my work, people were most gripped by the photographs from Cité Soleil. People kept asking me what they could do to help improve the lives of people there. I think it was a profound awakening for Americans to know that only an hour and a half from Miami, people were existing in deplorable conditions. It was the proximity that drew people in. It's one thing to say "the largest slum in the Western hemisphere." It's quite another to show people what it's like to live on top of eight feet of garbage, where during the day, toxic fumes burn off the plastic bottles and waste. That was really the first time I had ever experienced that kind of reaction from one of my essays—people specifically asking what they could do. I immediately started making plans to go back and focus exclusively on Cité Soleil. I returned three months later.
I had put a lot of my photos from my April trip on to my phone. Once I was back in Cité Soleil, I was able to track down a lot of the kids and show them the portraits I'd taken of them. The kids went nuts. I mean, these are kids who are so funny to begin with—animated, humorous, curious, engaging kids. They had a lot of fun scrolling through photos and recognizing their friends.

windshield help... damn sandstorms
Has anybody ever replaced there own windshield? My jeep was in a sandstorm and now my windshield is pretty much frosted. I just want to know if its worth time time doing it myself or having it dont professionally.
Honestly, it seems like it's not a whole lot more to just have it done professionally...I think it costs around $150 installed. You'll prolly save a bit of cash doing it yourself...but if you do it wrong, you're out that cash and then some. And even if you do it right...after all the time you spend following each step carefully, it may have been easier to have just paid someone to do it.
Also, check with your insurance company...often times they'll cover windshield replacements and waive your deductible.
Must have been a heck of a sandstorm. What did it do to your paint??!?
I got the windshield replaced with factory spec grade windshield for 160bucks. had to shop arround online and yellow pages to locate this deal. they had it changed in 30 minetes and did a great job.
if you have any friends who do body work on cars ask who they use. they usually know someone good and the least price.
i ALWAYS trust SAFELITE they have replaced windshields on 2 of my cars... check to see if you have one close by... they even came to my house when the basketball goal went through the windshield of my first car...
replacing the glass in the windshield is way more difficult than it looks. by the time you get the glass and the proper tools you will have wasted a lot of $$. i leave it to the pros; as mentioned, it is usually about $150 to have it done.
You probably can't buy a replacment windshield for less than the $130 I pay to have new windshields replaced in San Diego. This shop does Jeep Wranglers for $130 total, or at least did the last time I used them two years ago... 858-576-4300. They're between the 805 and 163 in the Kearny Mesa area, not that far from Camp Pendleton where you're stationed. :)
Not sure which state your in, but this may make it cheaper
Zero Deductible StatesFL, KY, MA, SC
If you live in Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, or South Carolina, you live in what's called a "Zero Deductible State." That means that your insurance company is required by law to allow you to purchase a windshield replacement using insurance with no deductibleas long as you have comprehensive insurance on your vehicle. If you live in one of these states, and have comprehensive insurance, it makes sense to use your insurance to pay for your auto glass replacement. Florida and Massachusetts only fully cover windshields, but Kentucky and South Carolina cover all glass replacement.
Thanks for the help guys. The Jeep was parked in the Mojave desert when the sandstorm hit and ya the front of my Jeep is now satin black lol

Discussion in 'Community' started by edgejedi88, Jan 25, 2006.
As far as CGI allows.
Maybe one of the writers likes folk art/music?
Like this guy.
i was sorely disappointed in the movie. i can remember seeing the original and immediately going to the arcade to play the video game. i was hoping Sam would enter the grid like Flynn. you know, doing the spread eagle. i think i even did it as i watched. the story was just so lacking. Flynn says "Dude" how many times? and father and son act like they just saw each other yesterday. and if you didnt see Castor as the turncoat, i mean he had the crazy eye as soon as you see him. i think was hacked me off the most was i paid $75 for the five of us to see it at the imax and i left feeling like i had been raped by a bright yellow light. my sons loved it. but, when they talk about it all they could go on about was the daft punk doods doing DJ. i thought CLU was the most exciting thing about it.
That's just how Flynn talks. In the first movie, he says stuff like that often (he even says "man" four times within a single minute at one point).
Tron Legacy Revisited.
Upon the second viewing on New years eve:
The main problem I found to be with the film was that the protagonist Sam Flynn played by Garret Hedlund is poorly fleshed out. When the rebellious Sam is reunited with his long-lost genius father Kevin Flynn, his character motive disintegrates. And doesn't return until the last 25mins of the film. For the rest of the movie, there is no narrative and a strong protagonist to follow. The plot meanders between Clu's 2.0 CGI snarling, Quorra's profile enhanced by Olivia Wilde and the infrequent screen time of Kevin Flynn himself (Jeff Bridges). The movie does however improve by the scene chewing Michael Sheen playing Castor. And as for the valiant Tron (Bruce Boxleiter) for which the original movie is named, his redemption is only an after thought. Â
Tron: Legacy at times strives for greatness but isn't concrete in it's footing. Unlike the first Matrix film, which succeeds in postulating a possible world outside our own. Flynn's solution to an ideal world is touched upon, whereby he gives only some slight insight into the dimensions of the utopian model; self creating programs, or otherwise "Isomorph" beings. The recent Tron "redesign" just sputters into the consciousness like an uncontrollable light cycle then abruptly veers off direction.
Watching this movie in Imax 3-D was an other-worldly experience, where I throughly enjoyed and I was quite saddened to realize that an end was soon to come. This film is glorious to look at, and I felt like an inhabitant of the "The Grid". Almost as if I was like one of those floating moths drawn to a bright and beautiful blue neon flame, my anticipation grew and fluttered towards the final end scene, however I felt the "zap" of a unsatisfying ending and the snap back into a knowing familiar world.
After seeing the movie a second time, I felt fuller by the experience, there's so much visual distractions the first time, that the second layer doesn't become clear. Tron: Legacy begins with the search for a lost father, the discovery of a new world, and returns with a new found knowledge that will bring hope to our world. This high-concept has worked successfully before in such films as Star Wars, and The Matrix. This time the latest Tron foray shoots for the stars but lands just short of the moon.
You sound like a critical journalist, you should look into it. Okay, I'm confused by a number of things this film does not explain. The Clu program from Tron Legacy clearly can not be the same Clu program from the original film, since he was derezzed early in the film. The original film ends with Kevin Flynn getting control of Enron from the previous CEO Dillinger. I'm guessing he then creates another Clu program to redesign the "grid" after the destruction of the MCP. Then sometime in between the two films this Clu program betrays him, in true Darth Vader fashion. The ending of Tron Legacy is kind of confusing. (here is the part where you leave this thread if you haven't seen Tron Legacy) For one thing, what the hell happened to Kevin Flynn? Did he die? All I saw was Clu got absorbed into him and then Flynn lit up like an electronic Santa Clause. It didn't make sense that Quorra could leave the "grid" since she is a program. This suggests that programs who leave the "grid" become flesh and blood. How does that make sense? Lastly I will say this: what is the device that Sam hangs around his neck at the end of the film?
I'll guess at a couple of your answers:
Quorra had Flynn's disk.
The necklace was a flash drive big enough to hold the entire grid (sligh difference in technology since the grid was built).
The laser that disintegrates people, buts them into the grid, and allows them out but re-molecularizing them (didn't think I'd ever use that word), can also take the information of humanoid programs and build them based on their program form and a DNA super widget extrapolator?
Who is going to explain the joys of female biology to Quorra the computer program? Where is she going to get her SSN and other ID?
You are correct- the original Clu was was derezzed by Sark. However, you don't have "guess" that Flynn made another Clu- the bad guy in Legacy is, essentially, Clu 2.0, and we see Flynn creating him in Legacy during Clu's flashback in Flynn's safehouse (a great little moment by Bridges, since that's the only scene where Clu acts like the "cheery" Clu from the original film). So, that's definitively established in the film.
Also, The Grid in Legacy is referred to as a "new Grid" and is on a closed system in Flynn's basement- it is not the same system the MCP was on in the original film (so, it's technically not a "redesign"- they weren't changing an existing system, they were building a new one from the ground-up). Tron was the only program brought over from the "old system".
Likewise, the betrayal between films is the earlier flashback from Kevin's POV.
That's the payoff to the line by Quorra during her exchange with Sam before they retire to their bedrooms. Sam asks her why, if Flynn created Clu, why doesn't he just end him? Quorra says that would "require reintegration" and that neither one "would survive the event".
So, Flynn absorbing Clu was the "reintegration", and the resulting explosion was "the event".
Now, as far as Quorra knows, that means Kevin didn't survive. But it's really open-ended enough that Flynn could return somehow in the sequels (either alive or as a digital Obi-Wan, or maybe something else).
But, then...
The laser is apparently a two-way road. Flesh and blood can be digitized into data and vice-versa. The original film said:
"See, what we plan to do is to turn something into nothing, and back again. So you might just as well have said "Here goes something, here comes nothing!""
So, Quorra would technically qualify as "nothing" becoming "something".
Beyond that, Legacy itself says that, with Flynn's disc, it is possible for programs to leave The Grid and enter the real world- it's the whole point of Clu's plan (bring his army aboard the Rectifier into the real world).
And the device around Sam's neck is presumably some sort of flashdrive (he uses it earlier in the film when breaking into Encom) to which he has downloaded something onto (whether it's the entire Grid or just Flynn's data, remains to be seen).
Also, nice detail there- the design on the flashdrive is the same as the identity discs from the first film.
Didn't they also establish that Quorra was an ISO not a program, in essence a living being?? I am not sure how that works exactly, but that might have something to do with why she can be given flesh and blood in the real world.
She was an ISO, but I don't think that has anything to do with her ability to leave The Grid- Clu and all his minions were Basics (the term apparent;y used to describe non-ISO programs in the Evolution video game) and, with Flynn's disc, Clu and Flynn both seemed confident they could also escape.
The design on the flash drive being the same as the identity disc is probably because, Flynn's discos became the flash drive when Sam left the grid, since it couldn't exist as a disc in the real world. By the way have you played or watched Tron Evolution? It explains how CLU 2.0 went bad. It was a virus.
Ya know your last point was what I was thinking about the most. If Sam and Quorra were headed toward a romantic relationship, (which the end of the film suggest they were) in the real world you wonder how Quorra would handle it if Sam took her to a restaurant. It would be like a scene from "Cocoon." Her unfamiliarity with the real world, might be funny. It was funny in this scene: Quorra:You know Jules Verne?Samf course.Quorra:What's he like? Something that I keep seeing in films like this is the Sci-fi hopeless romantic bit, It's starting to get on my nerves, because it really doesn't work like that. It's basically where the hero or heroine (it is usually the hero) has no love life can't find the right girl and then they finally find them in some fantastical world or across time or something. May be that's why I can't find her she must be in some digital world.
I was never entirely sure on that part. Flynn's disc was the master key to the Grid was part of why everyone was after it.
But I was never sure if Clu planned to materialize his whole army. As Clu was a direct copy of Flynn (based on that mirror scene where he was created), as well as having more powers than normal as he was supposed to continue building the Grid in Flynn's absence, I thought maybe the disc would work for him, as he's perhaps a physical copy of Flynn too. Not sure about anybody else though.
Obviously Quorra didn't end up looking like Flynn outside, but then there was that scene where Flynn was accessing her program and what looked like a DNA helix showed up. So one of my theories is that one way that ISOs differed from normal programs was that they had DNA or something, a new form of life, and that's part of why Flynn thought they could change so many fields.
So, not sure if any program with Flynn's disc could've escaped, if Clu (as Flynn's copy) with Flynn's disc could've escaped and then connected that isolated server to the rest of the world, or if Quorra could've left on her own, or if even she needed Flynn's disc to leave. Either that or that was just a switch so that Clu would go for Flynn's disc only to discover he wasn't wearing it anymore, giving Sam enough time to escape.
Seems like Sam downloaded the entire Grid onto that flash drive at the end. Kind of funny that all the data contained on those big, ancient servers can now fit into something that'll fit in the palm of your hand.
Not sure what he'd do with it, but then, its hard to speculate what shape the Grid would be in now, with Clu gone, and probably most of Clu's army gone too, and Tron missing and Flynn somewhere (though Flynn lives, of course ). If there's ever a sequel, let's hope they go into that.
The flashdrive isn't the physical manifestation of Flynn's identity disc, as Sam already has it at the start of the movie when he breaks into Encom. The design on the flashdrive is just an easter egg/homage to the frisbees of the first film, since the updated identity discs are now chakrams.
It looks like Kevin instructed Quorra on some of the real world through the bookshelf contents and the dinner table scene (complete with a whole pig and asparagus) would suggest Quorra wouldn't have any trouble eating at a restaurant.
However, there's definitely humor to be found in her fish out of water nature now- as the Jules Verne line attests, there's a lot of history and details she'd be unfamiliar with.
He definitely did- otherwise there was no reason for the Rectifier, the army and Clu's big speech. Clu could have just taken his command ship straight to the portal after he had the disc instead of stopping for the troops to load up and give his speech.
You'll note that the Rectifier doesn't activate and depart until the disc is plugged in- Flynn even exclaims at that moment that Clu has figured out how to bring them all with him.
Flynn does mention "digital DNA"- though presumably this is a euphemism and the actual double helix imagery is a representation of the complex code that is partially beyond Flynn. But you're correct- thats the reason why Flynn thought the ISOs were so important, as they were a spontaneously generated intelligent lifeform.
Here's a pretty good elucidation by Kevin Flynn himself about the differences between ISOs and programs, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYoJsapy_fA
I haven't played through the Tron game, and wikipedia isn't always the most accurate place, but based on Youtube videos I thought Clu created the virus villain of the game? Seems to weaken the story if all of Clu's crimes can just be blamed on a virus. From what I've seen, the game just shows how... cruel Clu has become.
Huh, I knew Amazon had an exclusive track, and not surprised Itunes had a few exclusive tracks too, but didn't realize getting the complete movie soundtrack would require going to so many sources. And I thought video game retailers went all-out with pre-order specials for the big games. Is it too old-fashioned of me that I just bought the CD? Oh well, at least it still had most of the major tracks (Derezzed, Game Has Changed, Ending Credits, etc.). Wonder if they'll ever release another CD with everything on it.
I was just pondering the last couple days about missing music from the soundtrack as I've attempted to reorder the track list to match the film- I definitely noticed the one track missing from between End of Line and Derezzed.

Music Screening Order
*This does not include Journey's "Separate Worlds" and Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These).
To answer one of my own questions, looks like Rinzler was named after Lucasfilm's Rinzler due to the making of book being on thhe table during story meetings.
Now, if i can only figure out the furthest distance an identity disc was thown i'll be all set.
That'd be an awesome origin for Rinzler's name if that turns out to be true.
And, Whisper- thanks for that list, I'll definitely have to track down the other tracks. At least it looks like most of my guesses as to track order (with what I have so far) are correct.
Separate Worlds and Sweet Dreams are easy enough to place- between Overture (which plays as Sam approaches the Arcade) and Recognizer (which is when he arrives in The Grid).
One thing, though...
Shouldn't those two be reversed? Outland (at least the one on the US release, whichever "part" that actually is) clearly happens during Quorra's lightrunner trip through the mountains to bring Sam to Kevin. And, presumably, Father and Son is the music that plays when they finally meet after that journey, before Flynn's flashback for Adagio.
Ok, using that as a guide I managed to track down the missing tracks, plus some additional sample ones. Here's what I have for an order so far:
1) Flynn Remembers (actually from the "score samples" I list later, but this is from the Comic-Con Teaser, so I place it first as it's a nice lead-in to The Grid)
2) The Grid
3) The Son of Flynn
4) Encom Part I (bonus track)
5) Encom Part II (bonus track)
6) Overture
6a) "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey
6b) "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics
7) Recognizer
8) Armory
9) Arena
10) Round One (bonus track)
11) Rinzler
12) The Game Has Changed
13) Outlands, Pt. I
14) Father and Son (bonus track)
15) Adagio For TRON
16) Nocturne
17) Outlands, Pt. II (bonus track-I'm trying to remember exactly where this is from, but that distinctive organ music eludes me. My best guess is this is when Sam heads back into the city with the vintage lightcycle- the opening definitely seems like it)
18) Reflections (bonus track- Clu's flashback)
19) End of Line
20) Castor (bonus track- club music)
21) Derezzed
22) Fall
23) Sea of Simulation (bonus track)
24) Solar Sailer (apparently only used in the credits, but I assume it was meant to be placed here if it had been used)
25) Sunrise Prelude (bonus - presumably them talking about the sun)
26) Rectifier
27) Disc Wars
29) Arrival
30) Flynn Lives
31) Finale
32) TRON Legacy (End Titles)
Score Sample Tracks:
1) Trailer Opening
2) Flynn Remembers
3) City Reveal (became "Armory")
4) Victory (became "Recognizer")
5) Battle (became "Fall")
6) Alan Bradley's Message (combination of material)
Unrelated to the music, the more I think about it, the more I am looking forward to finding out the backstory to Castor and Flynn- there's definitely some kind of history there. Castor wasn't "just" playing all the angles. Something happened to make him no longer believe in users, and it's really implied it's because of something Flynn did or did not do.
All his vile taunting/gloating during the EOL battle, for one ("The game has changed- Son of Flynn!", "Meet the son of our maaaakahhhh!") and subsequent reaction when Flynn looks at him.
Beyond that, it would explain why Quorra is hiding Castor's sector disc- because of whatever happened between them, Flynn might not approve of her having it (or something to that effect).
...unless Evolution has already covered this part of the story?
Here are the adjustments I'd make:
End of Line, then Castor, then Reflections (which is intercut with Castor)
C.L.U. prior to Rectifier
Finale I'm really not sure about, though it wouldn't surprise me if it is after the End Titles music, since credits running for 7:39 seems believable for an FX blockbuster.
Solar Sailer is used while Flynn repairs Quorra, IIRC--I'm 99% sure it appears. Sunset Prelude is used during the sunset discussion on the solar sailer and is reprised during the closing sunset scene. And the organs in Outlands, Pt. II appear as Sam rides the elevator to the club, I think.
I think you're right about Reflections- though the trick is I think Castor is split up in the film, because Daft Punk change from that into Derezzed when the battle begins, I believe.
So, I think Castor could go either way. I may, personally, keep Reflections before EOL even if it doesn't reflect the actual chronology, just so the four club tracks are all together- but that's just me and not the actual film order.
I've seen a lot of people's lists say Solar Sailor is only used in the credits (which is why it's so often listed last), but I'll have to keep an ear open for it the next time I see the movie- either way, I'd want to keep it where it was supposed to be.
I'll also stick for the credits too, to see if it's Finale or Prelude or something else after the End Credits music (I only stuck around the first time to see if there was anything post-credits, subsequent viewings I preferred to depart normally to listen to audience reactions).
However, Finale does have the same piece of music as Sunset at the end, so it could go either way.
Browsing the official site, there are some interesting tidbits to be found (though I'm unsure if these are mentioned in other sources):
-Sam's mother's name was Jordan Canas.
-Alan did marry Lora after the first movie.
-The "story" section confirms that over 1000 years have passed inside The Grid during Flynn's exile.
-The Grid's actual name is the "TRON System", with the city being "TRON City".
-The devices used to generate vehicles are the same used to create weapons, and they are called "batons".
-Baton-based vehicles are powered by the program using them and it requires further power to reform them if the vehicles are derezzed in combat. This does not apply to stand-alone vehicles like Flynn's cycle, lightrunners, etc.
