The young tearaway who's in the running to be next Pope
When Benedict XVI visits Britain next month, Ghana's Cardinal Peter Turkson will be with him. Hugh O'Shaughnessy charts the rise of a quiet contender
Sunday 29 August 2010
When Pope Benedict XVI kicks off his four-day visit to the UK with a greeting from the Queen at Holyrood House in Edinburgh on 16 September, he will be accompanied by a gaggle of cardinals known as "Princes of the Church". And, if high-level leaks are correct, among them will be a handsome, modest and very intelligent man who is a potential contender to be the next pontiff. If that were to happen Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson would be the first African pope for 1,500 years.
He was born in 1948 in what was then known as the Gold Coast, a British colony in West Africa. As a boy he was, like his compatriot the former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan, a subject of the Queen's father, King George VI. Indeed, for a few years after the king's death he was her subject, but in 1957 the Gold Coast attained independence and became Ghana.
His Eminence Cardinal Turkson, the fourth of 10 children, has wasted little time in hitting the highest reaches of the Roman Catholic Church. He is 122nd in seniority among the 179 cardinals, many of whom have retired and would never be regarded as papabili (papal material). In precedence, the Ghanaian stands just a few places behind the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Keith O'Brien, and the semi-retired former archbishop of Westminster, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
Although bookmakers have made Nigeria's Cardinal Francis Arinze the favourite to succeed Pope Benedict – and thus become the first African pope since the death of Pope Gelasius in 496 – Arinze is now 77 and retired and he may well be too old by the time of any vacancy at the Vatican.
Never seen as an ambitious cleric, Cardinal Turkson, when asked if a black man should become pope, replied with a laconic "Why not?"
Though much ancient flummery has been hacked away from today's papal court, Vatican usage remains strict. It divides the "Princes of the Church" into four hierarchical groups. As cardinal-priests Turkson, O'Brien and O'Connor take precedence over mere cardinal-deacons, such as the sonorously aristocratic Italian, Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo.
The young Turkson did well at primary school. He had a talent for mastering scripts of plays and poems, and a love of maths which brought him the nickname Archimedes. But until his teen years, his Catholic father, Pius – a carpenter in the manganese mining town of Nsuta Wassa – and Agnes, his Methodist mother, saw him as far too boisterous for the church.
Speaking at his mother's funeral he recalled her begging him with tears in her eyes to stop being such a tearaway. Because of his mother's tears, he stuck to his books in the seminary, got his GCEs and became a priest in 1975. In addition to his native Fante and English, he learnt French, Italian, and German, as well as Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Greek and devoted himself in his mid-twenties to scriptural studies.
He returned to Ghana to teach: a pupil recalled that he had inherited his father's practical streak and was keen on using tools and gardening. "We all wondered what flowers he would plant in the school garden but he ended up planting cabbages."
As a priest in his forties he was preparing for a doctorate at the Biblicum, the famous biblical institute in Rome, when the Archbishop of Cape Coast, John Kodwo Amissah, died. At 43 he was offered – and reluctantly accepted – the job in Ghana's former capital, dominated by its castle, a reminder of the horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Cape Coast Castle was the last halt in Africa for thousands – including, possibly, Michelle Obama's forebears – before they were sent to the American plantations.
Archbishop Turkson was named Cardinal 10 years later. In October last year he was called to Rome and made president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, charged with getting Catholic social teaching accepted worldwide. He has spoken out against the environmental impact of global businesses and he accuses them of doing too much open-cast mining in Ghana, just because it's easier and cheaper. Consequently, he said, villages are wiped out. "They build a few shacks for the displaced people and leave it at that.... When you move people off land they have been farming, you are also taking away their jobs and livelihoods. People think mining companies bring jobs, but when we visited those areas we found far more jobs were lost than new ones created. After the surface mining, the forest cover and the top soil are gone. What's left is a deep, gaping crater." Governments, he said, must not sign away their environmental future.
Cardinal Turkson is proud that the church is strong in Africa, and recently chaired a successful synod for African bishops at the Vatican, another sign of his growing stature. But he recalls how the record has been besmirched by war and genocide. "The Rwandans," he has said, "were supposed to be 80 per cent Catholic, but they forgot they were Catholic, and they forgot they were Christian."
He shares Pope Benedict's worries about the church in Europe. European missionaries first took the Catholic faith to Africa, and African Catholics see Europeans as their spiritual forebears. "It's indispensable that we see Christianity come back to Europe," he once told the Catholic News Service. "If Europe should become less Christian, it gives us a sense of being orphans, of having an experience of faith without parents."
While he has been mooted as a worthy successor to the 82-year-old Pope, as a fit 61-year-old his relative youth could count against him. John Paul II was elected when he was 58 and died at 84, and some electors may not want another reign lasting as long.
Cardinal Turkson has steered clear of the merciless infighting indulged in by some cardinals, which has caused Pope Benedict to remind them of the words of St Paul: "If you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another."
He also has no obvious connection to the late Father Marcial Maciel, the incestuous Mexican head of the Legion of Christ, who was a child molester. Unlike Cardinal Franc Rodé from Slovenia and Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the most senior cardinal and former friend of Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet, Cardinal Turkson has no record of fawning over Maciel. Nor is he overshadowed by corruption allegations like the Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, whose property deals are being investigated by Italian police.
The bookies are offering a generous 41-1 on the papacy going to Cardinal Turkson. It may take a while to come in, but it looks like a good outside bet.
Merchandise: No Pope on a rope... well, not yet anyway
Next month's four-day papal visit to Britain has already spawned a mountain of tasteless tat, bizarre parties and weird literature catering for both the devoted and the sceptical.
* Fans of Pope Benedict XVI can choose from a dizzying array of souvenirs, including a commemorative gold medallion – a snip at £775; 10 metres of papal bunting; or a life-size cardboard cut-out of the pontiff.
* Those who would rather the man in white refrained from setting foot in the UK have got their own merchandise. A T-shirt with a condom on the front and a church on the back carries the dual slogans: "Protects Lives" and "Protects Itself", while another carries the more blunt message "Pope? Nope!".
* Publishers are also looking to make money from the visit. Over the next month, new titles hitting the shelves include The Pope Is Not Gay by Angelo Quattrocchi, an irreverent look at homophobia in the Catholic church; The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuses, by Geoffrey Robertson, and several rushed-out biographies, not to mention the distribution of a million copies of the liturgies and events of the papal visit, available from churches.
* Even celebrities are taking sides, with reality television stars Susan Boyle and Michelle McManus preparing to sing for the Pope in Glasgow on 17 September, while both AC Grayling and Peter Tatchell will be spearheading a protest in Hyde Park, central London, the following day.

byu's quest is over and they still have many games left that no one outside
of byu fans cares about.
And since even a very bad Virginia team proved too much for byu, hard to consider this a guaranteed win for byu. With a QB that has the worst passer rating in the country, I'm not sure there is a single division I team that would be a guaranteed win for BYU, as the better QB would always be playing for the other team.
How about you guys start supporting the premier team in the state as we play UCLA, with the winner very likely winning the Pac 12 south with the Pac 12 title game and Rose Bowl on the line?
What do you say? Let's all get behind the only team whose quest is still alive and well!

The premier team in the State of Utah is and always has been BYU. They have the
championships, rankings and national presence that no other team in the state
Lets put things in perspective. BYU has finished eight seasons under Bronco. He has had four ten-plus win seasons, five ranked teams and two undefeated MWC records/championships so far. He has led ranked teams more than half his time coaching.
Under Bronco what bad teams has BYU lost to? BYU has not lost to any truly bad teams. The worst team BYU has lost to was the 2012 5-7 Utah Utes, and they were an average team to lose to not a pathetic one. Utah can't say that. They boast a handful of losses to the dregs of the college world.

51s Swat Bees 10-1
Las Vegas broke open a close game with a five-run fourth inning, as the 51s cruised to a 10-1 win over the Salt Lake Bees on Wednesday night. Las Vegas led 1-0 when Ricardo Nanita and Jason Lane delivered RBI singles and Ryan Shealy capped off the rally by driving a 2-1 pitch from Bear Bay over the left field wall for a three-run homer. The Bees had nine hits, but scored only one run, as they hit into three double plays. The one run came in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Paul McAnulty.
Bay (8-9) took the loss, as he went six innings and allowed seven runs on 12 hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Andrew Romine reached base in all five of his plate appearances with two singles and three walks. Efren Navarro led the Bees with three hits, including a double and a triple. The loss was Salt Lake's 73rd of the season, which guarantees just the third sub .500 season in the franchise's 18-year history.

Another View: Why do activists oppose swift reporting of animal cruelty?
If that sounds like a man-bites-dog story, that's because things aren't what they seem.
The legislation at hand is a proposal to require that any video recordings of livestock cruelty be turned over to authorities within 24 hours. It's quite simple and the benefits are obvious: It will help fight animal cruelty by getting the police involved quickly.
It's a bizarre and unfortunate reality that animal rights groups are opposing this effort to reduce animal cruelty. But it reflects their priorities.
Animal liberation groups such as PETA and the Humane Society of the U.S. (that is not affiliated with local humane societies) have developed a cottage industry in filming alleged cruelty for weeks or months and then releasing it with a big media splash later. They get their faces on TV and their names in the paper when they think timing is right for a good PR campaign. And the animals? A few of them might suffer longer bouts of abuse while the activists film and wait, as happened in Ohio a few years ago.
The record is muddled. At times, animal rights activists have uncovered horrible acts. That's all the more reason to have to notify the authorities immediately. Police, not animal rights groups, should make the judgment call on whether to continue to film and investigate, or whether to step in with immediate corrective action, which could result in criminal charges and employee termination.
At other times, animal rights groups have simply produced propaganda films and passed them off as animal cruelty. For example, last year the group Mercy for Animals released a video allegedly exposing cruelty in the pork industry. However, upon review an expert panel of animal scientists found that the animals were generally well taken care of - but the media damage had been done. The proposed law would help remedy this by allowing law enforcement, a neutral arbiter, to decide if any animal cruelty had legitimately taken place before a biased animal rights smear campaign is launched.
Heavily spliced video can be misleading.
It's important to keep in mind that animal liberation groups like Mercy for Animals or the Humane Society of the United States have a larger, vegan agenda to eliminate meat, eggs, and dairy from our diet.
These activists have an incentive to "spin." They employ professional media flaks, but these groups have few, if any, veterinarians or farmers on staff who understand farm animals and have hands-on working experience. They have an incentive to create the most misleading video possible and release it to the public. It isn't difficult to make farms look strange; most people in the press and general public have never been farmers. Animal liberationists are just ideologues looking to smear farmers. These vegan groups think using animals for food is animal cruelty. About 99 percent of Americans don't.
While animal rights groups are concerned that this bill might make their media spin jobs tougher, they have not offered any credible argument against this bill as to how it would hurt animals. That's because it wouldn't. Getting law enforcement involved will only help.
That these groups oppose such efforts shows their true priorities: Garnering media hits over helping animals.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Sharks Handle Pronger
by Paul on 05/08/06 at 08:35 AM ET
Comments (0)
Sure, it's disappointing when the local club you're kind of rooting for because it's a local club turns out to be a bunch of bullies. But the Sharks, they hurt people. Legally, but still ... The Oilers have this defenseman named Chris Pronger who is as big as a Zamboni (6-foot-6 and 230 pounds) and fast as a Maserati and has a longstanding rep around San Jose for mistreating Sharks. He is quite unpopular here. Experts said Pronger was the key to the Oilers' hopes. But the Sharks neutralized him, pounded him, stood up to him and his teammates.read on

Brave the cold and show up for life
I have friends who enjoy the cold and others who don't. I'm somewhere in between. As long as I'm dressed warmly, I enjoy the freshness of the air that seems to be missing in hot summer.
When I talked a couple of weeks ago to my oldest daughter, Krista, who lives in St. Paul, Minn., she happened to mention it was minus 10 that day. I think my comment was something about hoping they were staying warm. "It's not that bad," she said, "It is minus 10 without wind chill, but this place is so set up for it. Sebastian (her 10-year-old son) was outside all day Saturday and Sunday ice skating and playing hockey with friends. I couldn't get him to come in. We just bundle up, and nothing closes unless there's a blizzard, and even then everything reopens as soon as the snow ends. Minnesota makes you hardy." I thought about the icy cold times in each of our lives when we want to withdraw, stay inside and huddle by the fire, trying to avoid the pain — a health crisis, a relationship that ends, an estrangement with a family member, a misunderstanding with a friend, a job loss or the death of a loved one. There always comes the day, however, when we realize we have to bundle up and go out despite the cold and get back into the game of life.

La. high-risk health insurance pool closing
Louisiana's high-risk health insurance pool will close Dec. 31 for its roughly 1,900 policy holders.
Louisiana Health Plan Chief Executive Officer Leah Barron tells The Advocate that the plan, which began operating in 1991, was created to make sure health coverage was available to Louisiana residents who couldn't buy coverage because of their health conditions.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, health insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to people because of pre-existing health conditions. So, the Louisiana Health Plan must terminate its policies. Barron said the Health Plan has been working with private insurers to help get its members information about private plans available through the ACA and elsewhere, while fixes are being made to the federal government health care website.

Misery on mainline Victoria trains after landslide could last three weeks
Related Articles
Published: 30 November 2012
A busy commuter mainline into Victoria will be partly closed for up to three weeks after the embankment collapsed.
Atrocious weather caused the landslip between Holmwood and Dorking on the Horsham to London line last Sunday.
Ballast and hundreds of tonnes of embankment were washed away beneath the track.
The spot where the collapse happened is so awkward to reach Network Rail is having to build an access road across soggy fields to get their heavy machinery into place.
A Network Rail spokesman said today: "On Sunday morning a landslip blocked one of the two lines between Dorking and Holmwood.
"Around 15 metres of embankment, and hundreds of tonnes of earth and mud, has slipped undermining the foundations of one of the tracks.
"One line remains open and trains are running but there are delays."
He added: "Because of the rural location, we have to build an access road to get machinery and equipment to the site which, combined with the repairs that need to be made, means the line could be closed for up to three weeks.
"We are doing all we can to get the work completed as quickly as possible and apologise for the disruption caused."
Operator Southern is running an emergency timetable with a reduced service during morning and evening peak hours. Some trains are starting and terminating at Dorking.
Replacement buses are running between Horsham and Dorking and Southern tickets are being accepted on South West Trains services between Guildford and Waterloo.
A Southern spokesman said: "We are working with NR to minimise disruption to the train services as much as possible."

* Buses operated by Arriva London North are running as normal today after a 24-hour strike crippled services yesterday.

Commissioners Monday night discussed how to fill the soon to be vacant seat of John Bradford, who will step down next month to become a state representative. Some commissioners came prepared for a quick vote, but what they got instead was a debate over whether to debate or act.
The names of two potential nominees surfaced during the discussion: former Commissioner Bruce Trimbur, who served temporarily in 2013, and Dr. Michael Miltich, who finished sixth in the race for five seats in November 2013.
In the end, the board agreed to put off any vote until at least the Dec. 15 meeting. Read the full story

Martin, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Craig Bradshaw scored a game-high 22 points, leading four players in double figures, as the Belmont Bruins posted an 87-72 win over the Skyhawks of Tennessee-Martin in Ohio Valley Conference action at the Elam Center.
JJ Mann produced 19 points and reserve Evan Bradds 18 for the Bruins (12-6, 4-0 OVC) as they remained perfect in league play. Also scoring in double figures was Reece Chamberlain who tallied 13 points, but he was also responsible for five of the unit's 13 turnovers.
Losers of six in a row, the Skyhawks (5-14, 0-4) were led by Mike Liabo who dropped in 20 points off the bench, followed by Dee Oldham and Terence Smith with 15 points apiece. Marshun Newell added a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in the setback.
Belmont scored the first points of the day and never looked back, hitting on an impressive 60.7 percent from the field in order to claim a commanding 46-23 advantage at the break. UT Martin converted a total of just six field goals on 29 attempts through the first 20 minutes.
In the second half the Bruins again shot the ball well at 55.0 percent, adding 17-of-23 at the free-throw line in order to secure the double-digit win.
The Skyhawks held a 36-33 rebounding advantage, with half of those boards coming at the offensive end of the floor, but the hosts were still outscored in the paint, 42-30.

Marketing to Facebook Users Between 13 and 24 Must Be Mobile-First

How Facebook Marketers Should Approach Optimists, Explorers and Realists Aged 13-24
Facebook released the second part of its study of users aged 13 through 24 in 13 countries, with culture experts Crowd DNA, and it found that it was able to divide users in that age group into three segments, based on age — optimists, explorers and realists.
Why Your Wild Child's Facebook Posts Are Your Fault
Don't you hate it when you get blamed for something someone else did?

Speaking as a fellow parent, I think the answer is obvious: Hell, yes!

Recipe: Grilled Baby Back Ribs with Spicy Peanut Shake
6 appetizer servings, 3 to 4 entree servings.
2 / 3 cup dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
1½ teaspoons chili powder
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
2 racks of baby back ribs, about 2¼ pounds each
Salt and pepper to taste
1 / 3 cup hoisin sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
2 tablespoons minced ginger
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1. Make the shake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the peanuts, sesame oil and chili powder in a small bowl and mix well, then put in a saute pan over medium-low heat and toast, tossing occasionally, until light brown and very fragrant, about eight to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. When the mixture has cooled to room temperature, stir in the scallions and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for about seven seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium low.)
3. Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, put them on the grill directly over the coals, and cook until a peek inside shows the meat no longer has any pink at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
4. While the ribs are grilling, prepare all the remaining ingredients but keep in separate containers.
5. Take the racks of ribs off the grill, cut them into individual ribs, and put them in a large bowl. Add the hoisin, soy, orange juice and ginger one after another and toss with spirit. Lay the ribs out on a platter, sprinkle with the spicy peanut shake and serve.

My family is in a bad situation right now. My grandma is addicted to prescription medication. She goes to different doctors to get at least five bottles of the same stuff, which is illegal. She's also getting a divorce from my grandpa.
My grandma spends a lot of time taking care of my great-grandma who has Alzheimer's. My mom has told my grandma that she needs to take responsibility and get help, but she won't listen! The court served my grandma with papers saying she has to have a guardian because she can't make decisions for herself anymore.
Now my grandma thinks she got served those papers because of my mom (which isn't true). They're going to take my great-grandma away from my grandma and she will have to go into a nursing home, which I really don't want! How can I convince my grandma to get help?
Hey hon, all grandmas are different. Yeah, some are your typical grammie: they knit sweaters, bake cookies and play bingo. But there are other grandmoms who have jobs, still love to travel...or have serious problems. The bottom line is that no one is perfect—no matter how old they may be. Grandmothers are real people, just like you and me. And real people make real mistakes.
It sounds as though your grannie may have turned to prescription drugs as a way to deal with the stress of taking care of your great-grandmother. Alzheimer's is an ugly disease that's especially tough on a caretaker. But that's not an excuse for your grandmother. Chances are, she's ashamed of her addiction, but doesn't know how to ask for help.
Instead of judging your grandma, try talking to her. You could say, "Grandma, I'm really concerned about your health. I love you and want you to get the help you need." Can't say it in person? Show her you care with a heartfelt card. Elderly people are at a higher risk of developing prescription drug abuse than younger people. It's important for your grandmother to know she's not alone.
Treatment is available to help grannie get back on her feet. But she's going to need a lot of love and support from you and your family. The first step is to have your grandmother make an appointment with her doctor. It's a long road to recovery, but with you by her side, your grandma can make it. Best of luck, girl!

Leisure centre says thank you with party
Published at 16:39, Monday, 31 December 2012
CHILDREN living with disabilities got the chance to enjoy a fun-filled Christmas party.
The Park leisure centre, in Greengate Street, Barrow, hosted the event alongside Barrow Sports Council and Action for Children just before Christmas.
The youngsters got the chance to tackle bouncy castles, an inflatable slide and an inflatable "gladiator arena", as well as a ball pool and a sensory area.
Ian Jones, health and fitness manager at the centre, said: "We have the party to say thank you to the partners and the children.
"We have been doing a lot of classes for disabled children over the years, and we are starting to build up a level of familiarity with the children. They see the same faces helping them out and that makes them feel safe and comfortable."
Laura Jones-Barnes, 33, from Walney, attended the party with her son Sam, who has autism.
She said: "We do a lot of the classes and they do help. He is a lot calmer at home now and coming here helps take away some of the stress of getting him out of the house."
Joanne Donnelly, aged 40, from Ulverston, was at the centre with her son Alex, aged six, who is also autistic.
She said: "These classes give him a chance to join in. He loves football but he can't really join an organised team."

NEW YORK (AP) — A wine collector convicted of fraud for manufacturing fake vintage wine in his California kitchen has asked a judge for leniency Thursday, saying his actions were foolish.
Rudy Kurniawan told the judge in a letter that he "never meant to hurt or embarrass anyone" and asked that he be allowed to return to his ailing 67-year-old mother.
Kurniawan's letter to U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman was filed the same day his sentencing was postponed to July 17.
A jury convicted Kurniawan in December of mail and wire fraud charges that could bring up to 40 years in prison. Prosecutors say federal sentencing guidelines call for him to serve at least 11 years in prison while defense lawyers say the two years he has spent in prison already is sufficient punishment.
Prosecutors say Kurniawan, 37, made between $8 million and $20 million from 2004 to 2012 by selling bogus bottles of wine he manufactured in his Arcadia, California kitchen. The government said the profits enabled him to live affluently in suburban Los Angeles, mingling with wealthy and influential people interested in vintage wine as he bought luxury cars, designer clothing and dined at the best restaurants.

62nd Hammer Circle Re-union
Costello Stadium, Hull – 18th & 19th October 2014
On 2nd of August 1952 many of the country's leading hammer throwers took part in an invitation meeting at Alperton in Middlesex.
After the meeting the throwers agreed to establish a new association, called the Hammer Circle, to advance and promote hammer throwing in the UK. The first president was Malcolm Nokes who was the Empire Games hammer champion in 1930 and 1934 and he is still Great Britain's only Olympic hammer medallist. He won bronze at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.
The Hammer Circle meets annually at different locations in the United Kingdom. This year the re-union meeting was held at the Costello Stadium in Hull on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th October.
90 throwers and family members attended the get together, which is the most enjoyable weekend of the Hammer season. The ages of the contestants ranged from under 15 year olds to veterans in their 50's and above.
The entire weekend was superbly organised by Diane and Dave Smith, the coaches of the Hull Hammer Squad.
The throwers spent the weekend together in serious but friendly competition in both hammer throwing and weights throwing. They all enjoyed a social get together and evening meal on the Saturday at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby.
Six Olympians attended the re-union, they were:-
Barry Williams Munich 1972
Paul Dickenson Montreal 1976 and Moscow 1980
Chris Black Montreal 1976 and Moscow 1980
Dave Smith Seoul 1988
Paul Head Barcelona 1992
Alex Smith London 2012
The results for the members of the Hull Hammer Squad who competed in the event are as follows:-
Olivia Stevenson (under 15 girls)
The 2014 season has been a tremendous one for Ollie. She has won silver medals at the England Championships and the English Schools Championships and in addition to this she also won two gold medals at the Northern Championships, winning not only the Hammer competition but also the Discus.
At the re-union she was the winner of the U15 competition with a throw of 52.59m.
She was also the winner of the overall ladies weight throw, registering 18.28m with the 12lb short hammer.
Grace Sanders (under 15 girls)
A fairly new member of the training group, Grace is in her first competitive season and is still learning her trade.
She took 2nd place in her competition with a throw of 30.09m. Which was a new PB
Maggie Okul (under 17 women)
Maggie has also had another successful season, winning bronze at the England Championships and two gold medals at the Northern Championships, where she successfully defended the under17 and under 20 titles she had won in 2013.
She took 2nd place in the U17 competition with a throw of 47.07m, and was the winner of the U20 weight throw with an effort measuring 14.14m.
Alice Barnsdale (under 17 women)
Alice is a member of the Lincoln Wellington Club and travels from Lincoln to Hull for training with our squad.
She took 2nd place in her competition, where she set a new PB of 46.75m.
Diane Smith (V 50)
Diane is of course one of the hammer squads coaches but she still competes in the senior league matches for the club and she does so with distinction.
She competed in the senior women's competition where she threw a season's best effort of 38.46m.
Alex Smith (Senior Men)
Olympic finalist in 2012, Commonwealth silver medallist in 2010, Northern Champion 2014. He is a man who commands the utmost respect in his sport and is a role model for all of the young athletes at our club.
Alex won the senior men's competition with a throw of 65.01m.
James Bedford (Senior Men)
England Champion in 2012, Inter Counties Champion 2013, Northern Silver Medallist 2014 and a former Junior International, Another huge inspiration for all our up and coming throwers and like Alex (his training partner) a great guy as well.
James took 2nd place in the senior men's competition with a throw of 59.92m.
John Twiddle (V 45)
John is the 2014 British Throws Pentathlon Champion and the 2014 Yorkshire Veterans Champion at both Hammer and Discus.

Anthony Gillatt (under 20 Men)
Ant hails from Scunthorpe and has been training with the Hull Hammer Squad at Costello for the last two seasons. He is progressing very well and has represented his county at the English School Championships.
He was the runner up in the under 20 competition with a throw of 55.23m.
He took 2nd place in the 11.34 kilo weight throw, where he set a new PB of 17.24m.

OUR next stop is at Misano on the Adriatic coast of Italy, which is the perfect venue for the sun to shine and my Sunday curse to finish.
After the agony of my cracked rear wheel at Silverstone last weekend – a one in a million chance of happening – the support I received from the Silverstone crowd when I got back out and then crossed the finishing line just hit me.
Those fans are amazing and make all us British riders so determined to succeed.
When my luck finally changes, I'm going to repay the faith they have shown in me.
As you can imagine, I was distraught when I realised something was seriously wrong after a great start to the MotoGP race, but the reception I received just makes me and the team totally determined to thank-you and we will.
After around three laps, all of a sudden the rear tyre started to move around a bit.
I thought it was just a slight drop in grip because of warmer conditions in a race situation.
It just got worse, but I kept fighting as much as I could.
Once teammate Pol Espargaro and the train came past me, I tried to hang onto the back of them.
Then I had a massive moment when I almost disappeared over the handlebars.
My head ruled over my heart and told me to call it a day and get into the pits.
I was desperate to get back out there, so I kept the Yamaha outside the garage in pit lane and got the team to put in a new rear wheel and carried on.
We have made a huge step forward running with a full fuel load and I made a great start.
I passed Brno winner Dani Pedrosa and I was able to stop the bike well, which is the first time since I've ridden in MotoGP.
The work we'd done at Brno was a huge help and I did my fastest lap of the race on my first flying lap – something I've never been able to do.
I've always struggled in those early laps and everything was teed up for a perfect race because we'd turned round some of those weaknesses and my race pace was good.
It was a one in a million chance that a rear wheel cracks during a race.
It was our best set of wheels because in a race we put in the very best equipment possible.
I honestly don't know what to say because we've had too many one in a millions this season.
Maybe it's time to switch back to the right-hand side of the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha garage, because the left side is not doing me too many favours.
There are no tubes in the tyres and a crack in the wheel means the air will start to escape from the sealed tyre.
We run around 1.8 BAR pressure in a race and, by the time I got back to the pits, it was 0.6.
I continued a little too long on that tyre for safety reasons, but I'm there to finish races and wanted to thanks the crowd for that truly amazing support. I was not ready just to pack up.
We, as a team, have to take it because we can't control these things.
We had worked on our weaknesses and had everything set for a really solid race and at least a sixth position.
Something was missing, and that was luck.
We still have six grands prix, a third of the season, to come and we have nothing to lose.
Forget championship positions, it's a case of fighting for fifth place every race.
We are doing so many great things, but the Sunday curse continues.
Once it lifts – and it will – we will be right on track.
The Silverstone experience was great because of the truly unbelievable support I get from the fans, the team and the sponsors.
The crowd were amazing and, while we may not be getting the British podium finishes we've had in the last couple of years, they are 100 per cent behind us all.
Our luck will change.
