You see them in backyards everywhere. Join Tidbits as we find out the story behind them!

• George Nissen was a three-time National Tum-bling Champion for the years 1935–1937. As a young adult he became fascinated watching the acrobats at the circus falling into the nets from the high wire, sometimes doing amazing tricks and twists as they bounced. He also watched vaude-ville acts that used springboards in their acts. One actor would pretend to fall into the orches-tra pit, only to bounce back up on the stage. And he’d heard that Eskimos stretched walrus skins between stakes in the ground and then bounced up and down on them just for fun. Inspired by a love of gymnastics, Nissen wanted to invent some kind of “jumping table.”

• He started work on his invention in 1926 while still in school, scavenging materials from the lo-cal dump, and tinkered with the idea for over ten years. Finally, using the rails from a bed, rope, strips of inner tube, and some canvas, Nissen and a local gymnastics coach named Larry Griswold came up with a prototype. They took it to the YMCA where Nissen worked as an instructor to test market it. The kids stood in long lines for a chance to bounce on it.

• When Nissen graduated from college in 1938 he set about improving the invention. He called it the “trampoline,” from the Spanish word trampo-lin which means “diving board.” He began to mass produce them, but couldn’t understand why they weren’t selling. He found that people saw it as something suitable only for the circus or profes-sional performers. So he strapped a trampoline to the top of his car and took off cross-country, giv-ing exhibitions anywhere a crowd was gathered: schools, fairs, playgrounds, and sports events, taking orders on the spot.

• When World War II started, he convinced the Army and the Navy that a trampoline would be a good part of a pilot training program. Pilots train-ing on a trampoline became less fearful of being upside-down. They learned to control the fall-ing and the turning of their bodies, and it helped them hone their balance and body control in mid-air situations. Soldiers who used trampolines in the service ordered them when they went home after the war. Business continued to improve. In 1948, trampolining was included in the NCAA and AAU list of gymnastic events at official com-petitions. In the 1950s it swept the country as a fad.

• Nissen went on to build a very successful sports equipment empire, man-ufacturing gymnastics equipment and tram-polines. George Nissen holds over 30 patents on sports and fitness equip-ment. At the age of 83, he won the Senior Fitness Award from the California Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Nissen works to pass on his enthusiasm and love for the sport of gymnastics, which is where the story of the tram-poline began: each year the Nissen Award is given to the outstanding collegiate gymnast in the na-tion.

• As a promotional stunt, Nissen taught a kangaroo to jump on a trampoline and then went to Egypt to bounce on top of a pyramid. He trained the kangaroo using dried apricots as treats and quick-ly learned that the best way to keep from getting kicked was to hold “hands” with the kangaroo’s front paws.

• When officials at the Arkansas Children’s Hospi-tal did a study, they found that four percent of the patients seen in their hospital emergency room over a five-year period in the mid-1990s were there with orthopedic injuries due to accidents on trampolines. About 70% of the accidents were due to more than one child being on the tramp at one time, a definite no-no.

• Jeff Schwartz of Illinois bounced on a trampoline for 266 hours, 9 minutes in 1981, setting a world record. (That’s just over 11 days.) He was allowed

breaks for eating, sleeping, and going to the bath-room.

• The record for the most consecutive somersaults on a trampoline is 3,333 and was set by Brian Hudson (UK) at Jumpers Rebound Centre, Gill-ingham, Kent, UK on September 18, 2003.

• A world record was set on July 24, 1999 when a team of 20 members of a trampoline club in West York, UK, did 29,503 somersaults in exactly five hours using two standard trampolines. This aver-ages out at just under 1,500 somersaults per per-son, or about five somersaults per minute.

• In 1986, Cleveland State University’s Delta Epsi-lon fraternity fielded a six-man team that set the Guinness World Record for continuous bouncing on a trampoline, with 53 days of jumping between six people. President Reagan called the team to congratulate them.

COMPETITIVE JUMPING• In 1962, West Germany was the first country to

host an international trampolining event.• On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled

athlete can bounce to a height of up to 33 feet.• In competitive trampo-lining, each contestant must perform two sets of maneuvers. In the first set, everyone must complete the same ten basic moves which include the three standard shapes: tucked, piked, and straight. The second set is free-form in which contestants make

up their own routines. In all routines, the contest-ant must begin and end on their feet.

• During a competition, a trampolinist is in con-tact with the trampoline bed for just 0.3 seconds between moves. In 2010, a new “Time of Flight” score was introduced into professional trampo-lining, which is calculated on how much time the trampolinist is in the air. To measure it, a box is fitted under the trampoline which measures every time the competitor hits the bed.

• There are five judges. When a performance is scored, the highest and lowest scores are tossed out and the remaining scores are added together to come up with the final tally.

• Nissen always wanted to have trampolining in-cluded in the Olympic Games. This finally hap-pened in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. In 2008, Nissen was able to travel to Beijing to watch the trampoline event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was given the honor of testing out the Olympic trampoline before the event.

• George Nissen died in San Diego, California, on April 7, 2010 at the age of 96 from complications from pneumonia, having seen his dream become a reality.

Women in HistoryThe Lennon Sisters

The Lennon fmily of Venice, California, was a ig Catholic family with 12 siblings born in the 1930s and 40s. They all crowded into a two-bedroom home, and their father supported the family as a milk man.

• The four oldest sisters, Di-anne, Peggy, Kathy, and0 Janet, formed a singing group when they were in their teens. A classmate of theirs happened to be the Larry Welk, son of Law-rence Welk. One day Larry told the girls to come home with him and sing for his father. Although his famous father was sick in bed with the flu at the time, he listened to them sing. When they were done, he picked up the phone and booked them on the next Lawrence Welk Show. That was the beginning of a great ca-reer for the Lennon sisters, who sang as regulars on the program from 1955 unt00il 1968. At the time of their debut, the youngest sister, Janet, was only 9 years old.

• During their long tenure with the Lawrence Welk Show, they were paid only scale wages, but earned extra money by touring on the side. Welk was an-noyed with their father, who insisted each girl be paid scale wages, rather than being paid at the far lower group rate. Within a few years they were earning enough money to allow the family to move into a six-bedroom home where six sisters and five brothers lived along with Grandma.

• As the girls grew up, Lawrence Welk worked hard to preserve their image as fresh-faced youngsters. In 1964, Peggy Lennon married the trumpet play-er from the Lawrence Welk show. When pregnan-cies arose, Welk hid expanding tummies from the camera with artfully arranged props.

• Their first hit was a single released in 1956 called Tonight, You Belong to Me. It reached #15 on the charts, and was followed a few years later by a 1961 single Sad Movies Make Me Cry, which pro-vided them with the only #1 single of their career. They turned out albums of classic songs, as well as coloring books, paper dolls, and story books.

• In 1969, the Lennon sisters left the Lawrence Welk Show in order to star in their own variety show called Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sis-ters Hour. Six weeks before the show premiered, they were forced to deal with the shooting death of their father, William Lennon, by a delusional stalker named Chet Young, who believed himself married to Peggy and claimed her father stood in the way. Young, who often had to be removed from the front steps of the Lennon family home by police, followed William Lennon to his work place at the Marina Del Rey golf course and shot

him in the parking lot before escaping. William Lennon was 53 years old when he died. His wife was left with seven school age children still at home. Two months later, the body of Chet Young was found in the trunk of his car, where he had shot himself using the same gun. The traumatized

Lennon sisters kept up their schedule with their new va-riety show, but cancelled af-ter the first year.• In the 1970s, the sisters performed regularly on the Andy Williams Show and toured the country exten-sively. They played in Vegas and appeared on numerous game shows.

• In 1995, Larry Welk, Junior– the classmate who originally introduced them to his father– invited them to headline at the Welk Champagne Theater in the Ozark community of Branson, Missouri, and they’ve been performing there ever since.

BEST OF LATE NITE HUMOR• According to researchers, people in the 25-to35

age group are now experiencing mid-life crises. Who thinks the best years of their lives are be-hind them at the age of 25? Besides the cast of “Jersey Shore,” of course. - Jay Leno

• Hooters is letting mothers eat for free on Moth-er’s Day. What better way to tell your mother that she raised a cheapskate and a perve. - Co-nan

• Long John Silver’s has just hired a new execu-tive to revamp their menu. For starters, he said they’re going to start experimenting with some-thing called fish. - Conan

• The Senate is taking a look at the immigration bill and will provide sweeping changes if, in fact, the bill is passed. - David Leterman

• Yesterday police arrested 31 people involved in that big jewel heist in Belgiu. That’s a lot of peo-ple. Now $50 millin worth of jewels sounds like a lot, but split 31 ways, it hardly seems worth the effort. - Craig Ferguson

• One of the jewel thieves they caputred yesterday was also a lawyer. That is a shame. Now lawyers will get a bad reputation. - Craig Ferguson

• Senator John McCain will introduce a bill that lets cable customers pick which channels they want to pay for. For instance, HBO would cost you $10, AMC would cost you $5, and NBC would pay you $200. - Jimmy Fallon

• A new study found that women think men hold-ing a guitarare more attractive, even if they’re not playing it. In a related story, guys with an accordian will die alone. - Jimmy Fallon

EVER WONDER ...• Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?• Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed?•Why don’t you ever see the headline ‘Psy-chic Wins Lottery’?• Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?• Why is it that doctors call what they do ‘practice’?• Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?• Why is the man who invests all your mon-ey called a broker?• Why is the time of day with the slowest traf-fic called rush hour?• Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?• Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosqui-toes?• Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?• You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!• Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?• Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?• If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?• If flying is so safe, why do they call the air-port the terminal?

A mother took her little boy to church. While in church the little boy said, “Mommy, I have to

pee.”The mother said to the little boy, “It’s not appropri-ate to say the word ‘pee’ in church. So, from now on whenever you have to ‘pee’ just tell me that you have to ‘whisper’.”The following Sunday, the little boy went to church with his father and during the service said to his father, “Daddy, I have to whisper.“The father looked at him and said, “Okay, just whisper in my ear.

A woman went to a Florida lemon grove to apply for a job, but the foreman thought she

seemed way too qualified for the position. “Do you even have any actual experience picking lemons?” he asked.“Well, I think I do. I’ve been divorced three times.”

• It was ancient Roman dramatist, philosopher and statesman Seneca the Younger who made the fol-lowing sage observation: “While we are postpon-ing, life speeds by.”

• You might be surprised at some of the seemingly innocuous things that arouse passions in a group of people. Take the venerable 1960s television show “Mr. Ed,” for example. Evidently, an evan-gelist named Jim Brown took issue with the show’s theme song, claiming that when played backward, the tune contains the message “the source is Satan” and “someone sang this song for Satan.” His preaching on the subject was so persuasive that members of a church in Ironton, Ohio, made a bonfire of recordings of the song.

• If you’re planning to visit the Hawaiian island of Kauai, you might want to trek up to Mount Waialeale. If you do, though, be sure to take an umbrella, as that mountain holds the distinction of receiving more rainfall than any other place on Earth, with an average of about 40 feet -- yes, feet -- of rain annually.

• A recent national survey of adult children with living parents found that a whopping 70 percent of respondents are against the idea of a parent moving in with them. If it became necessary for one parent to move in, though, two-thirds would choose Mom over Dad.

• It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who, in his “Devil’s Dictionary,” defined faith as “Belief with-out evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.”

• Those who study such things say that an ordi-nary human being can live four weeks without food, four days without water and four minutes without air.

***Thought for the Day: “Most people would sooner

die than think; in fact, they do so.” -- Bertrand Russell

When you were in the first grade you thought things would be so much better when you got to the seventh grade. Once there, you discovered that life was full of more contradictions and un-certainties than you could have imagined. The opposite sex repulsed you and attracted you at the same time. Talk about confusion! And you couldn’t figure out what happened to your par-ents. For your entire life they had been so consid-erate and intelligent – and somewhere between you’re ninth and 13th birthday they became in-creasingly disagreeable and alarmingly stupid.

Then you started to imagine how things would really improve if you could just leave home and escape their silly rules and unpleasant criticisms. So you moved out and found a roommate and screamed with delight, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!”

Unfortunately, you soon discovered that you’re over-controlling and humorless parents provided certain benefits that an often repulsive or incon-siderate roommate did not – like milk in the re-frigerator, for instance.

Well, you’re old enough now, so I’m going to let you in on a secret: Your parents thought that your idea to move out was a really good idea, even as they tried to talk you out of it. As you brooded and schemed in the privacy of your room, they talked late into the night saying things like, “Wow! When Junior is gone, it will be just you and me once again!” Each of you had the same thought, that life would be much more pleasant when you moved out.

You were both right about the benefits of you

What Could Possibly Go Right?

moving out, but you were both wrong about something else, that life would be easier. Life is never easy. Both the rich man and the poor man have money problems. Both the married woman and the single woman have trouble with relation-ships. Each season of life has benefits and each has difficulties. Each season of life is just like the one you experienced in the seventh grade: full of contradictions and uncertainties only without the pimples.

Life is a lot about walking through the pain, enduring the discord and believing that tomor-row will be better than today no matter how bad today is. And trust me; your tomorrows will im-prove if you improve today. Your tomorrows will be blessed if you will be a blessing today. And the next season of your life will be filled with tri-umphs and tears, long, wide highways and wind-ing dangerous back roads, sunshine and storms.

It seems to me that life is not about giving up, surrendering to mediocrity or failure. No, life’s not about retreating, it’s about reloading. It’s not about resting on your laurels or living off your dividends or walking away from responsibility. It’s about learning from your mistakes, overcom-ing obstacles and being ready, willing and able to “take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust your-self off, and start all over again.”* Don’t retreat, reload.

*PICK YOURSELF UP, From the Film: Swing Time 1936 (Lyrics by: Dorothy Fields / Music by: Jerome Kern) Listen to Frank Sinatra’s version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN9zKpO3Qus

Don’t Retreat - Reload!
