Podcast appearances and mentions of ron kline

We are joined in studio by Brandon Gatz and Bill Katz to talk about Landcastle Summerfest.  In this episode we meet Ron Kline, a really cool guy that helped Mark and his son find some fish on Cass Lake.   We meet Denis Quarberg who is the president of MDHA.   Then we meet Ryan and Brady Imholte.  They bowfished a rare black gar.  

Dr. Kline chronicles his career trajectory in detail including both undergrad and med school at UCLA and a now defunct club that facilitated his interest in policy making. He explains the role of various stakeholders in the heath care delivery value chain from his lived experience and describes some of the challenges of managing health insurance for the more than 8 million federal employees. Finally, Dr. Kline shares some great advice he received from a professor about "listening to your gut" and talks about developing his love for scuba diving at UCLA.

I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace. – Richard Brautigan, 1967 By the time Richard Brautigan distributed his fifth collection of poetry, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, on the streets of San Francisco, his reference to “a cybernetic ecology” was not an obscurantist metaphor so much as a direct nod to a pervasive and generative intellectual discourse. In The Cybernetics Moment, Or Why We Call Our Age the Information Age (Johns Hopkins UP, 2015), historian of technology Ron Kline traces the emergence of this protean discourse, along with the shifting demarcations occurring within and around it as cybernetics worked its way between technology and theorization of the social world. In doing so, he provides perhaps the most comprehensive and incisive history to date of American cybernetics and information theory. While cybernetics began as a distinctly postwar science of communication and control, Kline shows how it was linked to but split off from discussions of the physical definition of information. Cyberneticians’ emphasis on circular causality was a major influence on mid-century social science, and cybernetic theory was a common frame through which electronic computers were discussed in the media. As the subtitle suggests, Kline also grapples with the coherence of the term ‘information age,’ whose advocates departed from cybernetics yet, as he argues, remained under its shadow. Through historicizing cybernetics as a ‘moment,’ Kline characterizes the activities of its larger-than-life adherents with a sociologist’s eye, while unearthing both the material and conceptual artifacts left in its wake.

A discussion with Ron Kline of CMS, which has designed an episode-based model of oncology care that incorporates elements from several successful model tests. It is hoped that this model will demonstrate how oncology care in the US can transform into a high value, high quality system.

Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy interviews Ron Kline, principal analyst, network infrastructure at Ovum, about 100G’s market traction in 2013 and his expectations for 2014. Ron offers his opinions on the opportunity for 100G in the metro, as well as for the prospects for 200G and 400G.

Ovum optical networking analyst Ron Kline offers his views on how robust the 100G market will be in 2013 in this interview with Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy. He also discusses whether there is still room to differentiate through innovation, what to expect for 100G prices, and how vendors and carriers will use today’s 100G technology to set the stage for even higher data rates in the future.

A man gifted in communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ, Dr. Ronald A. Cline challenges and edifies the body of Christ.
