About Us
The Cal Poly Rodeo Program
The Cal Poly Rodeo program is open to all students who comply with Cal Poly student athlete requirements. These requirements include:
- Purchase of a National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) card and compliance with NIRA eligibility requirements;
- Enrollment in AG 243-02 (Advanced Competitive Rodeo) during competing quarters;
- Attendance at scheduled practice sessions (varies by quarter), member meetings and program events; and
- Compliance with the Cal Poly Rodeo program member code and the Cal Poly student athlete code.
The Cal Poly Rodeo points team, which competes for team points throughout the competitive rodeo season, is selected at the coach's discretion and is comprised of four women and six men, all of whom are also members of the Cal Poly Rodeo program. Apart from earning team points, individuals on the points team receive partial compensation for travel expenses and scholarships in-kind for boarding expenses.
As a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) cowboy since 2003, Ben Londo has amassed an admirable list of achievements, including three-time Saddle Bronc Champion for the Columbia River Circuit. Before he began competing in the PRCA, however, Ben was a proud Cal Poly Mustang who graduated in 2007 with a B.S. in Construction Management. During his time on the Cal Poly Rodeo Team, Ben earned Bareback Riding and All-Around Championship titles for two years running at the College National Finals Rodeo. Ben strives to build student's strengths both inside and outside the arena - by stressing the importance of a commitment to both academics and practice. Under Ben's guidance since fall of 2013, The Cal Poly Rodeo Team has continued to flourish as one of the most competitive college teams in the West Coast Region.

The History of Cal Poly Rodeo
Since 1956, the Cal Poly Rodeo program has earned 44 national titles, making it one of the most winning programs in National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association history and bringing national recognition to Cal Poly and its supporters. The Cal Poly rodeo program dates back to the first intercollegiate rodeo held on the C Bar G Ranch near Victorville, Calif., on April 8, 1939, when 15 student athletes represented Cal Poly and competitors Jim Blake and Carl Miller began its winning tradition. In 1951, Cotton Rosser and Don Koester continued Cal Poly's winning tradition in front of 4,000 spectators at the first Cal Poly Rodeo.
Cal Poly captured its first NIRA national title in 1960, with more to follow in 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973. Cal Poly continues to be a recognized force in college rodeo and has a long list of national champions. Some of the most talented student rodeo athletes have graduated from Cal Poly and gone on to compete – and win – in the professional rodeo circuit.

West Coast Region
The NIRA is divided into 11 regions. Cal Poly Rodeo competes in the West Coast region along with five other schools: Feather River College, Fresno State, Lassen College, the University of Las Vegas Nevada, and West Hills College. Geographically, the region includes all of California and Nevada. The region hosts 10 rodeos and is comprised of nearly 225 members competing in the following rodeo events: Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping and Steer Wrestling for men; and Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, Goat Tying and Team Roping for women.
For more information on the NIRA West Coast region, click here.
The NIRA is the sanctioning body of college rodeo. They create and enforce rules governing the sport, handle national administration, and work with individuals and college programs to promote college rodeo. The mission of the NIRA is to foster and develop rodeo at the college level so that it will provide educational and competitive opportunities for students. The NIRA organization lives up to its motto of "preserving western heritage through collegiate rodeo" by hosting nearly 100 college rodeos each year for its more than 3,500 competing members. The association is made up of 137 schools and universities and is divided into 11 regions.
For more information on NIRA, please visit collegerodeo.com.
College National Finals Rodeo
Each college is allotted a 10-member team, consisting of six men and four women, to compete for team points at the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR). These team points are earned by coach-selected individuals and count towards the team's standing. At the end of the season, the top two point-earning teams in each region qualify to send a complete team to the CNFR. Athletes from each of the 11 regions compete throughout the season for these individual and team points. Individual points are awarded for placing 6th-place or higher in each respective event. At the end of the season, the top four point holders in each event qualify for the CNFR. At the CNFR, no season points are carried over to determine team and national titles. Instead, all national titles are determined through points earned at the CNFR.
For more information on the CNFR, please visit cnfr.com.

Raspberry Sorbet
I don't know how I survived previous summers without an ice cream machine. Well, actually, I do know, it just involved frequent late night trips to the nearest fast food joint for a milkshake. The homemade stuff is so much better. And as much as I enjoy ice cream, this sorbet really hit the spot.I think I'm going to make some more.
If you're wilting in the summer heat, freeze a batch of this raspberry sorbet. It'll perk you right up.
2 cups water
2 quarts raspberries
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sorbets are particularly soft after freezing in the ice cream machine. Scoop into a bowl, cover, and place in freezer for 1-2 hours to firm up.

|Finessing the King
This year our show was initially based on the phrase *not playing with a full deck.* It was decided that was too negative and so the theme became *it's all in the cards.*
Either way I was stumped.
I drew the King of Clubs. I did not want to be literal - such a cop-out. I wanted to stretch my artist's wings, which are barely emerging some days.
An obvious one-off is the golf association. I have never been interested in golf so that was out of the question.
But I did have a blast learning to play bridge when I first started grad school. I think it was the Queen finessing the King, with much help from the Ace that really hooked me. Such an interesting play when I first learned about it. Well, always more interesting when I held the Queen and my partner held the Ace.
This piece also reminded me that when I left grad school, I left behind Austin, dear friends and bridge. Never really played it again.
And my king did follow me.

Sambawan Island: All good things wrapped up in one placeSaturday, March 19, 2016
I didn't have high expectations for Sambawan Island, a small island under the territorial jurisdiction of Maripipi located in Biliran, Eastern Visayas. For some reason, I thought people only went there because it's a good side trip destination in the Eastern Visayas region.
|wish I can wake up everyday with a view like this!
|habal-habal ride to jump off point
In fact, out of all the places we visited on this trip – Kalanggaman Island, Tacloban City, San Juanico Bridge – I enjoyed my time on Sambawan Island the most. The beach sand in the island may not be as powdery fine as that on Boracay or Calaguas, but it's still really, really beautiful! Mesmerizing aquamarine blue waters, stunning coral reefs which support huge variety of marine life, great snorkelling and dive sites, low-key, beach feel - I can't believe we found this in Sambawan Island!
|boat ride from Maripipi Island to Sambawan Island
You see, the island is a destination in its own right. And I am not just talking about the island, but the whole Biliran Province! I was telling my friends, Batanes might not be my favourite Philippine destination anymore. Yeah, that's how beautiful Biliran is.
|love this fisheye effect of Gopro Hero 4 Silver!
Getting to Sambawan Island is not easy, we even considered the idea of dropping this destination. We took a van from Tacloban City to Naval Port. Travel time is 2-3 hours and one way fare is 100 pesos. From Naval, we boarded a boat to Maripipi Island which took 2 hours. Then, we rode habal-habal to get to the jump off point to Sambawan Island. It was another 30-minute boat ride until we finally reached the island. It's a trek, honestly.
|Welcome to Sambawan Island!
But do I regret going through so much trouble just to reach the island? Hell NO! We had perfect weather at the time we were there despite Accuweather forecast that it will rain. We did not get lost despite the lack of travel information online. And we were blessed to see an amazing dolphin show en route to Sambawan Island! How cool is that?!
|My travel buddies from L to R: Sychelle, Christian, Arlene, Yani and Ken
Thanks for this awesome adventure!
We stayed at the only resort on the island—the Sambawan Dive Camp and Beach Resort, where we rented one of the enclosed cottages which cost 2,500 pesos per night (good for 15 pax). There are also open nipa huts which can be rented from 500 - 1,000 pesos per night. For budget travellers, feel free to pitch a tent for a minimal fee of 100 pesos per night. Basically, you can find anything to fit your budget in Sambawan Island…and your money could go a surprisingly long way.
|my friend Maki
Food wise, there are no restaurants or stores in the island. We purchased our food and supplies at a small grocery in Maripipi Island. What we should have done is to go to the market of Naval before we board the boat as there are not plenty of food choices in Maripipi Island.
|that's our cottage :)
We asked one of the caretakers to cook our food while we enjoy the island. Honestly, it was the best decision ever! We went up to the viewpoint and took tons of photographs. We also had a very nice afternoon swim. We went back to our cottage after sunset and our food is already cooked. Amazing! Because we were so happy, we paid the caretaker 400 pesos. He seemed to be very pleased. Thank you so much Kuya!
|afternoon swim is always the best!
There were about two other groups of tourists that day but we felt like we had the whole island to ourselves. In the evening, we get to see starry night sky which was so awesome. Surreal, almost.
|night sky photographer using Nikon D5100 with a kit lens and an improvised tripod (boat haha)
The next morning, we all woke up early to wait for the sun of the new day to appear on the horizon. And, it did not disappoint. Waiting for the sunrise is probably one of the most fascinating experiences you could get in Sambawan Island.
|one of the best sunrises I've ever seen
|look at that!
Sambawan Island surprised me in the best way possible and I have no doubt that I'll be making a return visit at some point. Hard to put into words, there's just something about this place that invites you to get off the grid and experience authentic island life at its finest.
|my friend Ken enjoying the moment! #oblepose
For people who want to be away from the world for a while and those who want to spend some time in a hammock with views that look like screen savers, then Sambawan Island is for you! Just a reminder, the island is not for those who want to party, but an actual get-away-from-it-all, totally unplugged holiday, without Ultra high speed Wi-Fi.

Heya! I'm Josh Ashby, a web building key-smasher in Boulder, CO working at Gloo as a Ruby/Rails developer on the analytics team.
I spend a lot of my time writing code and long ago even released a few (now horribly outdated and broken) Python packages. A lot of my projects now days are in Ruby and Javascript but I did a fair amount of work in Python early on and mess around with other languages (rust, c++, etc) when I get the time. I also have a fair amount of experience with microprocessors, electronics and robots.
I occasionally write a blog post, post project ideas. I've also been trying to get better at publicly posting some of my personal writing. Most of which can be found on here.
When I get tired looking at a screen I can often be found taking lots of photos or shooting my recurve bow at a local range. A lot of this gets reflected on various social networks: twitter, spotify -RIP rdio-, instagram and probably others. I also hang out on irc.freenode.net as JoshAshby.

The Guptas* were a happy lot as they awaited the arrival of their firstborn closer to Holi. As the much awaited day arrived, Mrs. Gupta went into labor and she was rushed to Fortis Hospital, Vashi for delivery. Soon enough her contractions got stronger and before long their bundle of joy, a beautiful baby girl made her way into the world. The Gynecologist believed there was something amiss about the baby, as it turned out; the baby was born without nasal passage!
Hours into the birth, the doctors and the family began to see the gravity of the situation. Not only was the baby born without a nasal passage but the lack of the passage also meant that she couldn't breathe and feed. Babies do not know how to breathe from mouth for the first three months of their lives hence feeding meant asphyxiation for little baby. The baby was put on feeding tubes for interim period while the doctors at Fortis Hospital, Vashi, prepared for a corrective surgery.

One of the best things about blackjack is that there are a number of blackjack games available. With so many different variations, there is a blackjack game for everyone. Although all of these blackjack games have the same basic structure, there are certain variations that make each one interesting. Basically, the different type will influence the strategy you will use for maximizing your wins. So here's a look at some of the popular blackjack games that you can enjoy.
Pontoon is the British version of Blackjack. This game is quite popular in many land based casinos and in online casinos. Similar to blackjack, the objective of the game is to beat the dealer without going over 21. In this game, 8 decks of 52 cards are used and the values of the cards do not differ from what is used in a game of blackjack. All face cards from Ten to King have a value of 10 and Ace can be counted as 1 or 11. After the dealer gives out the cards, the player makes the bet. The cards dealt to the player are placed face up so they are visible to everyone. However both the cards dealt to the dealer face down and this is what makes Pontoon different from traditional blackjack.
There are also some favorable rules for the players as well. Players are able to split Ten valued cards and a combination of a Ten and an Ace following a split pays out 2:1 as it is counted as a Pontoon. If there is a tie, the dealer wins and it is not a push. A Five Card Trick is when a player does not bust after a 5 card hand. This also pays 2:1. Doubling can be done only once per hand. Dealer has to hit on soft 17 which is a combination of an Ace and a 6 and a player cannot surrender unless the dealer has a Face card or an Ace.
The use of multiple decks in this game lowers the house edge and using perfect strategy brings the house edge down to 0.39 percent.
Single Deck Blackjack
From all the different blackjack game types, one that offers the maximum chances of winning is the Single Deck Blackjack. This is because only one deck of card is used in the game and the house edge is just at 0.15 percent. But, this game has its advantages and disadvantages too.
The obvious advantage is the lower house edge. Another one is that the use of a single deck makes counting cards easier. Skilled card counters will find this game interesting and profitable, but the downside is that there are some unfavourable rules which have been put in place by casinos in order to increase the house edge. For example, instead of offering 3:2 payout, they offer a 6:5 payout.
European Blackjack
One of the most popular Blackjack Game Types / variations of the classic blackjack game is called European blackjack. The rules of this game are simple just like blackjack and the game is played with two decks of cards. When playing European blackjack, getting a blackjack beats other hands having a total of 21. Face cards have a value of 10 and Aces can be counted as 1 or 10. During the game, players can hit and obtain up to 9 more cards. If the dealer has accumulated a total of value of 17, then he must stand. If the dealer busts, the player wins and if there is a tie, it is known as a Push and no one wins. Bets are lost if the dealer has a blackjack and players can obtain insurance if the first card of the dealer is an Ace.

The immediate fog of war over Brexit may have cleared in recent days but the lull has only served to expose some areas which need immediate attention.
To date the UK Government has committed to support farmers at levels provided under the Common Agricultural Policy until 2020.
However many have raised concerns new Countryside Stewardship (CS) agreements starting in 2017 would run until the end of 2021.
Despite a growing furore, Natural England, which administers the scheme, has so far not confirmed whether it will issue any further CS agreements, or indicated how they might be funded past 2020.
A statement on behalf of Natural England simply said: "We continue to engage with EU business as normal and Rural Development Programmes across the UK remain in place. An update on future funding under current EU schemes will follow shortly."
Until a decision is reached, it appears no new stewardship grants will be approved.
And as far as the NFU is concerned, this is far from satisfactory.
Calling for a Government decision within weeks, NFU vice-president Guy Smith said: "We understand why the referendum decision might give cause for Government to reflect on its stewardship plans as these agreements will still be operating beyond 2020 when we will almost certainly have left the EU.
"But time is of the essence. These new agri-environment schemes have already had a shaky start, with low farmer confidence in them. The current confusion is not helping this. Furthermore, it should be remembered thousands of farmers are coming out of the old ELS/HLS schemes this year. This has not stopped because of Brexit."
David Morley, head of conservation and environment at H&H Land and Property, agreed it was important a decision was made soon as the September 30 deadline was fast-approaching.
He said: "If the outcome is no 2017 agreements will be issued, then the significant cost of making the application will have been wasted.
"On the other hand, if they put their applications on hold, they run the risk of missing the deadline if Government belatedly gives the green light."
CLA director of policy and advice Christopher Price echoed the comments and called on Government to clear up the current uncertainty 'quickly and decisively'.
Welsh cabinet Secretary for the Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths, said the Welsh Government would seek to honour its commitment to those currently holding Glastir contracts.
Furthermore, the advice for those applying for a scheme was to continue as normal.
For schemes which have a relatively short timetable, such as the Glastir small grants programme, then Government was 'more confident' it could fund the commitments.
By contrast, where a project extended beyond 2018, Ministers would delay any decision-making until they were sure of future funding.
This clearly has an impact on Glastir 2017 applicants as these contracts would be running until the end of 2021 and, as such, Welsh Government has put all this work on pause.
Speaking at this week's Royal Welsh Show, NFU Cymru president Stephen James said: "We have hundreds of farmers who had hoped to enter Glastir 2017 for the first time, many well on into agreeing a contract with the Welsh Government.
"We have many hundreds more who will be coming to the end of Glastir contracts in December, unaware what will happen next. Many of these will have committed to agri-environment schemes for more than 20 years."
The environmental schemes in Scotland may have different names but the problems faced by farmers and landowners are similar to those experienced by their counterparts in England and Wales.
The Agri-Environment and Climate Scheme has elements with five-year commitments.
Anne Gray, senior policy officer with Scottish Land and Estates, said the future of the Scottish Rural Development Programme was unclear and the organisation had written to Scottish Cabinet Secretary Fergus Ewing for funding assurances.
She said: "I know there are a plethora of other interests to consider but it would be helpful to land managers if Article 50 was not triggered until January 1, 2018.
"This would not only give us a further two years to work up replacement schemes, but it would also take the UK's membership of the EU to 2020, which would coincide with the end of the current schemes."
A Scottish Government spokesman said the First Minister was intent on maintaining Scotland's relationship with the EU and, in the short-term, EU-funded investment in Scotland would continue to function as normal.

If you are currently applying for Wolf Trap Box Office Group Sales Internshipname, one of your best practices is to save all of your work on the computer. Dont simply write out your essay, you should type it out first, and then attach it with a staple. The importance here is that you gain the ability to reuse many of the answers on the application, especially the essay itself. This will save you time, and it will allow you to apply to even more places awarded by different sponsors, like Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Artsname. The more places you can apply to, the better your chances of landing some serious scholarship money. You dont want to find yourself doing just enough scholarships to get none of them. Its best to get as many hooks in the water as possible.
Sometimes, it is important to view scholarship searching like fishing. You need to throw your net out of the boat, and drag the dark, murky bottom of the river. Of course, when you start pulling in your nets, it might not seem like you have much, but there could be hundreds of fish on the other end. It takes patience, and a good knowledge of where the best parts of the river are. In the same way, searching for a scholarship like Wolf Trap Box Office Group Sales Internshipname is going to take some patience, but there could be thousands and thousands of dollars waiting for you. Do keep in mind that the search is worth it. If you attempt to put your entire education on student loans, you will be paying them off for the next thirty four years. And in this economy, theres no guarantee of a job afterwards. The best way to go is to get someone else like Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Artsname to pay for that education.

Thousands of asylum seekers on bridging visas scared, in limbo: refugee advocates
Refugee advocates say about 21,000 people in Australia on bridging visas are in limbo and becoming increasingly scared as the Federal Government puts in place a new assessment system.
The former government first introduced bridging visas in November 2011 as a way to manage the number of people in immigration detention.
Adjustments were made in the following years, and now around 21,000 people are in the community on the visas, still waiting for their protection claim to be finalised.
During the election campaign the Coalition promised to undertake an audit of the refugee assessment system. It wants to remove access to the Refugee Review Tribunal, and speed up the overall process.
Brigid Arthur from the Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project in Melbourne says asylum seekers she knows are "scared" and "terribly insecure" about what the future holds for them.
She also said those who arrived after August last year are increasingly isolated, "because of lack of money, lack of work rights and study rights and often not knowing anyone in the community at all even people who come from their own country".
The purpose of the new system is to accept fewer refugees, which means potentially thousands in the community would have to be re-detained.
Pamela Curr from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre says many in the community are fearful, even though there is not a lot of spare capacity in centres.
"People are in limbo, they're worried," she said.
"They're constantly asking 'what do you think will happen, what will the minister do, where will he send us', because these people have been warned that at any time they could be taken offshore to Nauru or Manus.
"Now we know that that's unlikely because the capacity for those offshore detention centres has virtually been reached and already there are people stock-piled on Christmas Island. Still, they don't know that."
Call to end 'culture of secrecy'
Opposition immigration spokesman Richard Marles says Labor will look at any proposed overhaul of the assessment system once the details are released.
"I think it's very important that the Government makes clear what it intends to do with the order, not least for those who are in the system at the moment," he said.
"But what we've seen from this Government so far is a real culture of secrecy."
Refugee advocates are also cautious about the Government's plan to introduce a work for the dole system for some people on bridging visas not allowed to work.
Richard Marles says Labor makes no apology for putting in place punitive conditions.
"What we did not do was operate under a culture of secrecy and what we did do was be transparent about what policies we were seeking to implement from day one,"
Mr Marles said.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison was not available for interview. He is scheduled to give his weekly media briefing on asylum seeker issues today in Sydney.
A spokesman told the ABC the implementation of the Government's assessment process is ongoing, and there will be further updates in due course.

A few months ago, I was asked what my vision of the future of marketing would be for when my 3.5-year-old son becomes an adult. This sparked my imagination and I felt compelled to share my vision of the future of marketing. Being a data-driven marketer myself, I realize that this vision is slightly utopian, and I don't know how many years it will take for this vision to be realized in reality. Regardless, I would love to play a key role in making this dream come true.
The young man asking this question elaborated to ask whether I believe my son will be bombarded with too many messages and too much information when he comes of consumer age, which frankly I believe has already started. My simple answer at the time was "no." By the time he becomes an adult, all content will be curated for and by him. Even today, we have the technology to personalize all content. Just a few years ago, this meant knowing who the customer was and targeting the message to her. In this day and age, we can go far beyond knowing "who." We can push personalization to "where" and "when." With the consumer carrying her mobile phone on her person virtually 24 hours a day, I know not only who she is, but I know where she is and even the time and the weather in her exact location.
One of my former colleagues uses these examples in his speaking engagements:
We, as marketers of today have all this vast data and information at our disposal, but admittedly, we don't have the means, knowhow or technology to personalize communication to this extent. The 2015 Loyalty Report that we recently published shows that only 28% of loyalty program members are very satisfied that they get a personalized experience. And that's loyalty program members: the cream of the crop of a company's customers!
The issue is that we do have the means and the technology but not necessarily the knowhow to bring complete personalized communication to life. If you will allow me, I will elaborate on my dream and vision and push it further into the future.
The marketing world I envision is all grounded in data, where data rules. In fact, I see the value of data following a normal distribution bell curve, whereby its value grows exponentially over a number of years, reaching its peak and then starting to trail off. Why, you ask? If all business-related decisions are to be rooted in customer data, it would certainly be of incredible value to any organization, whether for profit, government or not for profit. Then, what I envision is a single, universal database of individuals that is hyper-connected and contains all information about me, per se: my online activities and purchases, my offline purchases, all information from my health tracking device and potentially my health as well, social media and preferences, etc. As a consumer, I would have access to this database and be able to edit any information and control what data gets shared, with whom and for what purpose. Then any organization, including my doctors and hospitals, would have access to this data to create content that is very specific to me. This means a complete shift in mindset, a democratization of data (similar to how information was democratized by the Internet) and eventually a commoditization of data.
What would this look like in practice, then? It would mean that all content and advertising would be very specific to who I am, where I am and when I am. I would be in charge of what I receive. This would go much further than marketing and advertising: this would extend to merchandising (think Tom Cruise in Minority Report) that would take me to the store where I would find what I need or have it pre-ordered for me in a predictive fashion, personalized pricing, and so on. We can even take it outside the B2C world and think of healthcare: I would work collaboratively with my team of doctors to establish preventative care, because now my doctors are working as a team and have real-time access to my vitals, my food and water intake and my exercise. Think of the education realm. Courses are now structured uniquely based on my career goals, skills, talents, growth opportunities and interests, and I am in charge of my curriculum. Hiring and talent retention becomes a matter of algorithms.
This world is very utopian, as I mentioned earlier. It does have its limitations. How narrow is too narrow? Would I miss out on general information and knowledge? Would I walk through the world with blinders on? Would the world not need any more human interaction and would be driven by business rules, which are only as good as our ability to hypothesize on the use of data? Even in my world demands balance.
With great power comes great responsibility, as Peter Parker's Uncle Ben stated. We have the great responsibility of protecting the privacy of our consumers or risk being creepy (have you heard of the failed mobile app Girls Around Me? For some more salient points, read Bond's The 2014 Loyalty Report on page 21). There are worse things than being creepy though… without protecting privacy, we lose our customer's trust; I don't even need to explain the implications of that. On the other hand, when we use customer data in a way that adds value to the customer, they are more willing to share more data with us: I call that a win/win.
In any event, I am very excited about the future. Today's Millennial and, even more so, Generation Z consumers will demand that we move closer to this direction and I'm thrilled about the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the vision and the realization of the future of data-driven marketing. In my role as a loyalty consulting director, I get to help companies create programs that deliver value to the consumer and put the consumer in the driver's seat of information flow.
