Contest Directions:Create images of something that happened in the news during July 16 - 22, 2007.
Here's an example of a recent news story that could be used. It seems the javelin throw will be kept away from the track this September when Senior citizens compete in track & field events in Milan. Some of the competitors are said to be as old as 90. French long jumper Salim Sdiri was speared by a flying javelin during the Golden League meeting in Rome Friday after Finnish thrower Tero Pitkamaki slipped at the end of his run-up. All I have to say about this is how fast could he have been running?

Yet, to the bewilderment of aid workers, the overwhelming majority of Kunamas answered with a resounding "No thanks."
