et’s hopscotch around the sports world today. Cool to see that former Centennial High baseballer Dustin Robinson was selected in the 10th round of the recent Major League Baseball draft by the Oak- land A’s. Used to play ball with Dusty’s dad, Robert, back in the day and Dusty was always hanging around the dugout. Great kid with lots of speed and prodigious power. Two caveats regarding being selected by the Athletics: Once he makes it to “The Show” friends and family can motor up I-5 to the Bay Area to catch some games — and with Oakland being in the same division as the Angels, there will be numerous opportunities to see Dustin play in Anaheim. Good luck, Dusty. The United States women’s soccer team captivat- ed the soccer world with their dramatic 3-2 victory over Brazil as Abby Wambach scored the tying goal late and the U.S. won it 5-3 in the subsequent shootout at the World Cup. We need a feel-good sports story here at home with the NFL locked out and the NBA on strike — and perhaps the gals can bring home the gold from Germany. Come to think of it, ANY type of feel-good story would be refresh- ing! Did you happen to catch Steve Stricker’s dramat- ic comeback from two strokes down with two holes to play in the final round of the PGA’s John Deere Classic? Stricker did not get caught in the head- lights coming down the stretch! His final birdie for the title was classic. After his tee shot found the left-side fairway bunker at the 18th hole, with an awkward stance he drilled a six iron to a few feet past the back of the green. I’m sure he was thinking par and playoff as he lined up his 30 foot birdie attempt but dang if it didn’t catch the left side of the cup and drop in for the stunning victory over tour rookie Kyle Stanley. Perhaps more amazing than the win was the fact that it was Strick- er’s third victory in a row at the John Deere. Bravo. Baseball bits. As the All-Star break arrives, let’s make a few stops around the Major Leagues. Well, the Yankees’ Derek Jeter showed the recent naysayers didn’t he? Those say- ers were already washing him up at 37 years old, with no pop in the bat and limited range at shortstop. In one game he staved off their charges as he collected his 3000th hit (a home run nonetheless!) and went a sterling 5 for 5 at the plate. And he’s an All-Star once again. It’s coolerific to see perennial doormats Cleveland and Pittsburgh vying for division titles this late in the season. In my opinion, manager Jim Riggleman jumping ship with the Washington Nationals was a selfish move. When he quit he had guided the Nats to 11 wins in 12 games — and they were over .500 for the first time this late in years. He left his lads because Washington's general manager would not discuss renewing his contract for next year. Hey, you’re in the middle of a pennant race, dude. We’ll talk about it at the end of the season. Bobby Cox retired after managing the Braves for a million years and they still have one of the best teams in the majors. Great organization in Atlanta. Smoke and mirrors: The world champion San Francisco Giants can’t hit a lick, their starting rotation is a mess and they lead their division! Go figure. All of the division races are tight which should make for good drama come September. Way too early to sur- mise the matchup, but the Philadelphia Phillies and their superb starting rotation may just end up tussling with the Boston Red Sox and their run- scoring ability in the 2011 World Series. C‘mon Rog! Fess up. We know you took one (actually quite a few according to allegations) for the team back when you were hurling 105 mph heaters from the mound. Please, confess now to steroid use and save the American taxpayers mil- lions of dollars in legal fees before your protracted trial goes any further. Our economy is in the tank and we taxpayers are now working harder (if we can find jobs!) and receiving substantially less.

This month, CSUB’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is heading into full session, offering courses to the community for summer fun. From foreign languages to crocheting and spiritualism, the variety of classes are sure to interest anyone. This summer, the multi-talented Nick Belardes, a CSUB alum, is returning to teach classes on pho- tography, poetry and drawing. “Nick has taught for us before and was well received,” said Program Coordinator Jennifer Patino. “I feel very lucky for him to be teaching three classes. It shows his depth as well as his joy for giving back and sharing his creative side with OLLI and community members,” Instructors also include CSUB students, emeriti faculty, and community members. Communications student Phillip Barnett, who blogs about the NBA for ESPN, is teaching a course on the history of basket- ball. Business graduate Wendy Cruz, a native of Mexico, is teaching a course on “Basic Spanish for Tourists.” “Having students teach an OLLI class is a great way for the generations to interact and learn from each other,” Patino said. “But any community member may be an instructor for OLLI, no teaching experi- ence required – just a love for sharing what they know.” OLLI is funded by the Bernard Osher Foundation, which supports higher educa- tion and the arts for people who are aged 50 and better. \CSUB’s program is one of more than 100 lifelong learning programs on university and college campuses across the country. The membership-based program counts more than 300 members at CSUB. When it reaches 500 members, CSUB’s OLLI becomes eligible for a $1 million grant from the Bernard Osher Foundation to offer even more classes to the public. Community members don’t have to be over age 50 to participate – they just have to be interested in learning something new, Patino said. Classes range from one-day workshops to weekly sessions. There will also be a one-day field trip on July 28 to the Getty Villa in Malibu. Annual membership to OLLI is $35 and includes a large discount on classes (most classes are $5 for members and $25 for nonmembers) as well as access to the Wal- ter Stiern Library, eligibility to purchase a pass to the Student Recreation Center, and more.

COURTESY OF CAL STATE BAKERSFIELD ummer blasted off recently for 200 middle school students in Lamont who are attended the NASA Sum- mer of Innovation Rocketry Camp. The camp is a collaborative project between California State University, Bak- ersfield and Lamont School District who worked together to receive a $32,500 grant from the Aerospace, Education Research and Operations (AERO)-Institute partner- ing with NASA Dryden Flight Research Cen- ter. The camp took place June 13-16 and June 20-22 at Myrtle Avenue Grade School, with the culminating rocket launch on June 23 on the CSUB campus. The hands-on summer camp involved students from Mountain View Middle School in Lamont learning rocketry princi- ples aligned with California state standards in science, math, technology, and language arts using curriculum provided by NASA. Students work in teams to solve challenges that are engaging and fun as they build, test and ultimately launch their model rockets. The instructors for the summer camp included six classroom teachers from the Lamont School District, and seven pre- service teachers from CSUB's federally funded Edvention Fellowship Program. Two faculty from CSUB, Dr. Ron Hughes and Dr. Carl Kloock, along with teacher Troy Tenhet from Panama Buena Vista School District, are advised and provided professional development for the project. An additional partner in this project was Taft College, which provided $4,000 in specialized scien- tific rocket building supplies. “A good science program requires student interest and excitement. NASA is a brand name that everybody knows. It starts the excitement just with mentioning the name,” Hughes said. “Building strong partnerships that intro- duce middle school students to exciting learning opportunities and the idea of attending college will bolster CSUB’s effort to increase the college going rate in Kern County,” said Curt Guaglianone, CSUB Principal Investigator for the program. This is the second year of NASA’s Summer of Innovation program, which will serve 40,000 students nationwide this summer. The NASA Dryden Flight Research Center’s program will reach more than 2,000 stu- dents in Southern California and Arizona. “CSUB and Lamont School District are prime examples of outstanding organiza- tions that are committed to both teacher development and STEM (science, technol- ogy, engineering and math) opportunities for students,” said Russ Billings, Pre-College Programs Manager for the AERO Institute. “Working with both of these programs allows us to have a multiplying effort with NASA materials and resources for both teachers and students.” For more information about NASA’s Sum- mer of Innovation, visit www.nasa.gov/soi.
