Billboard warns NASCAR fans about hot dogs, stirs controversy
(CBS) Let's be frank: Hot dogs probably aren't anyone's idea of a health food. But a new billboard erected near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway issues a stark warning to the legions of weiner lovers who show up for races.
The sign, erected by a watchdog group that has long promoted vegan diets, shows hot dogs poking out of a cigarette package emblazoned with a skull and crossbones and reads "Warning: Hot dogs can wreck your health..
What's the group's beef with hot dogs?"A hot dog a day could send you to an early grave," Susan Levin, a registered dietitian who serves as nutrition education director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, said in a written statement. "Processed meats like hot dogs can increase your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and various types of cancer. Like cigarettes, hot dogs should come with a warning label that helps racing fans and other consumers understand the health risk."
The potential health risk of eating hot dogs have been well established. And as CBS News reported in 2010, the risks are associated with bacon and sausage as well as hot dogs.
The group said downing one dog a day can increase the risk for colorectal cancer by 21 percent. Each year, about 143,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and about 53,000 die of it."We've had an epidemic of colorectal cancer for decades," the group's president, Dr. Neal Barnard, told CBS New in an email. "Only fairly recently has it become clear that a big part of the reason is the American appetite for hot dogs, bacon, sausage, and other processed meats."
What does the meat industry have to say about the billboard?
"This is an absurd claim," Janet Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, told CBS News. "Trying to link a food product that has clear nutritional value with a product like cigarettes, which have no redeeming qualities, is inflammatory and alarmist."
She called cancer "a very complicated issue" and said the group's real agenda was to eliminate meat from the diets of Americans.
"This is an animal rights group that wants to take away your choices," she said.
What do you think? Should hot dogs be shunned?

Alec Weber continues to succeed
For being a relative newcomer in the sport of trampoline, Alec Weber has learned how to compete and how to heal from an injury. Plus, he has learned what it takes to be a national champion. He accomplished all of that in a two-year span, overcoming a broken wrist that could’ve derailed his fast rise in the event to win a gold medal in his age group on July 15 at USA Gymnastics Trampoline and Tumbling National Championship Junior Olympics in San Antonio.
Weber switched from gymnastics to trampoline two years ago after trying it in his gymnastics class, but he took a tumble last fall and it almost knocked him out of the sport he has quickly grown to love. Weber was doing his trampoline routines in March at Skyview Gymnastics when he landed the wrong way, trying to break the fall with his hands.
“That was a no-no,” Weber said. “I put my hands behind me when I fell. It was a natural reaction. Then, I heard a pop. I had broken my wrist. It was right before my first meet in November.”
After eight weeks in a cast, Weber was back in action, regaining his form and desire to be the best. That determination helped him win the gold medal.
Competition on trampoline includes routines such as flips, jumps and form. Two back flips and one front flip are common routines.
Weber did well enough in the five meets to earn a spot in local USA Gymnastics qualifiers. He advanced through state and regional competitions before hitting the national competition at San Antonio.
At nationals, Weber was among a group of more than 2,000 in various age groups
His accomplishment exceeded a lot of expectations, including those of his mom, Shani Weber.
“I was being the screaming, excited mother when he won,” Shani Weber said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Weber is off for a few weeks before resuming practice in August. The season starts in November.
“I can’t wait to get started,” he said.

Trampoline Health Benefits
Overview
Jumping on a trampoline as a kid seemed like a fun activity. Now there is a craze of trampoline jumping among adults, yet they claim it is for health reasons rather than fun. If you wonder what can be so healthy about bouncing up and down on a springy surface you are not alone. Believe it or not, trampolining can benefit people of all ages in a variety of ways.
Improved Motor Skills
During the developmental years, kids learn skills that will stick with them the rest of their lives. Trampolines help improve motor skills through balance, a stretch-shortening of the muscles and reliance on the brain to connect with the muscles throughout the body in execution of each jump. The more developed motor skills are, the more coordinated the child will be throughout his life.
Cardiovascular Health
Trampolining is a cardiovascular excersize. By increasing your heart rate, trampolining will circulate more blood and oxygen to your tissues. As your heart muscle strengthens, your chances of developing cardiovascular disease decreases. This may lead to controlled blood pressure, weight and blood sugar levels. Likewise, your lungs' oxygen capacity will increase, making daily living activities easier to perform.
Muscle Strength and Endurance
With every jump on the trampoline, your legs will experience a stretch-shortening cycle to catch your landing and propel you back in the air. Your muscles must contract more often than they do with most other exercises, which will increase their endurance. Powerful jumps into the air will strengthen your legs as they work hard to send you flying. Once you become comfortable with the movements involved, more advanced techniques will target different muscle groups to give you a full-body workout.
Mood Booster
According to the MayoClinic.com, exercise releases endorphins and neurotransmitters in the brain, which has feel-good effects. It also reduces chemicals in the immune system that increase depression, as well as calms the body by increasing body temperature. As a break from the norm, trampolining offers a way to get your exercise while having fun. Try jumping on a trampoline for a few minutes and see if you can keep from smiling. Take turns jumping with your kids and you are sure to be laughing at all the silly moves you create.

Trampolines and Autism
There has been a growing amount of evidence to suggest that individuals with autism and other developmental disorders greatly benefit from regular trampoline usage. In fact, trampolines can provide endless benefits for those with special needs.
Jumping on a trampoline helps individuals with autism to control their anxiety and to relieve the build-up of stress. Many families are use trampolining as a way to allow their loved ones with special needs wind-down from a day at school or social commitments. The sensations generated throughout the body when jumping is often craved by people with autism due to the imbalances they experience in their sensory systems. There are many different ways that special needs individuals satisfy these desires. Some of these anti-stress methods include running, rocking or spinning in a chair, swaying, tapping, swinging, and fidgeting. Trampoline of all sizes and capabilities can provide excellent stimulation to satisfy autistic individuals' needs.
It is often observed that other forms of sensory craving become minimized once a trampoline is available for use. All of the energy normally expended in other, sometimes destructive, ways is focused towards the trampoline exercise. Special-needs individuals who use a trampoline regularly are frequently reported to have a positive change in behavior, higher impulse control, and less behavioral problems.
For families that include a special needs individual, regular trampoline usage is not just a great way to channel their child's sensory stimulation requirements-- it can also be a tool to help their child improve his or her motor skills through games played on the trampoline. The implantation of a safety net gives peace of mind to the caregivers, as proper safety accessories nearly eliminate the risk of injury.
Trampolining provides endless benefits for individuals of all ages, skill levels, and capabilities.

Hey Everybody
My name is Norm and I am a customer service representative at Trampoline Pro.com. I have been working here for a while now and enjoy making people happy with their new Custom Trampolines. I can tell you first hand that our trampolines are of the highest quality and durability. I have a 10 year old brother and two years ago he was given a trampoline from another store and it was fun for a few months but then it started to deteriorate and it became unsafe and not useable. Then we got a custom trampoline from www.trampolinepro.com and it has made all the difference. My family and I use daily and it is showing no signs of deterioration. When I was given the opportunity to work for them I was ecstatic to work for a company that cares about quality as much as I do. Check out our website or give me a call at 800-473-JUMP(5867) to get started customizing your Custom Trampoline.

I scored high in prelims and just needed to be clean and consistent today.” Ludvigson scored a clean 152 points at the finals, the highest score of his career.
