CPAs and accountants are often asked to provide verification of certain items within a client's financial statement -- the so-called comfort letters -- by a regulator, bank or other organization, writes Susan S. Coffey, CPA, CGMA, SVP, Public Practice and Global Alliances, AICPA. Coffey does not recommend providing such records and in some cases standards prohibit it. "Not only does it put you and your practice in a very risky liability situation, you may face sanctions or loss of license if you sign any solvency-related comfort letters or certifications," she writes. AICPA Technical Practice Aids on lender comfort letters provides appropriate responses to requests to confirm client information.

Alabama offensive lineman Chance Warmack (6-3 320) has had a solid career with the Crimson Tide and his NFL Draft status has rose considerably this season. He is undoubtedly one of the top hog mollies in college football on the field and at the table. It is well known that Warmack has a very large appetite and even has a Twitter account dedicated to his belly. nom nom nom, volunteers!— Chance Warmack (@WarmacksBelly) October 21, 2012 An article from USA Today expands on his eating habits. As reported on December 28, 2012, "The signature burger at Mugshots Grill and Bar is three all-beef patties, six strips of bacon, three slices of cheese... along with tomatoes, pickles, lettuce and red onions, all layered on four bun slices, everything slathered in mayonnaise and mustard. The challenge... is to devour the entire Mugshot — approximately 2½ pounds, post-cooked weight, and that's not counting the accompanying large order of fries, an onion ring and a fried pickle — in 12 min...

Tahi 2008 Part 2
Welcome to 2008
E te Atua e, akapuera mai i oku nei mata kia kite au i te au mea takake i roto i taau ra au ture Lord , Open my eyes so that I may see the truth .... Te Manava Pasifika goes to Pasifika Over the weekend, we made our way up to Pasifika, which was absolutely overwhelming if you have never been to one before. Each village has a unique smell, taste and flavour which our students thoroughly enjoyed. We managed to catch up with the Prime Minister and all the big names in Pasifika. It will definitely be on the calendar for next year. Thanks to Ms Cassidy and Ms Teokotai. It has always been our humble prayer that the students, teachers, families and community of Te Manava Pasifika find their own truth in all that they do. In establishing our expectations for excellence we were able to set both academic, personal and career goals and in these fields we have found our truth. Our strength is in our being together, (cos that's how we roll). We enjoy being PACIFIC and all that comes with it. We have seen our numbers grow, possibly because of the tutors we have, Miss Krause, Mr Tereu, Mr Manu, Mr Utanga and Miss Tarai, or maybe it's the example that our predecessors gave us that we can bring our basket of knowledge and experience, and that we are valued for the people we are. We have a mixture of students, cultures, personalities and are never without challenges. TMKR Our year 9 tutor who won a KFC lunch for bringing in the most canned foods for mufti day, which is a fine example of their dedication to supporting our school life. They also have one of the highest tutor attendance to where Miss Krause can be commended for pastoral care. Report Evenings are not always a high priority on the PI Calendar however this year, it has TMMU The growth in Te Manava is due to Mr Manu bringing in the fold. There have been an increase of numbers in our year 11 intake, as I believe been a primary focus area to encourage all parties to come together in the that the students can see the benefits of being together, working together and staying together. We have high achievers in here that have proven to partnership of learning. themselves that all things are possible. Every Te Manava student was given a lunch invitation where if there TMUT These are our babies, who were there since the beginning of Te Manava. The group that has the most potential in any given field, however parent, guardian, caregiver came in to parent interviews and had it signed is also the group that keeps us fighting for everything we believe them to be. Mr Utanga who would swim the ocean for them, shows them that hard by their tutor teacher, they could go on a mystery lunch that Friday. work does have its rewards. The results were overwhelming where each tutor averaged just over 50% TMTA This came to be because there was a dire need to support our students with attendance issues. Some have chosen the path of change for attendance to report evenings. the better, and some have seen their truth to where they have outgrown our schooling system. TMTE Mr Tereu keeps his tutor in top form with his Year 13's as fine examples in their academic prowess. Te Manava Incentives for report If there ever was a perfect tutor, I think this would be it. They are all academically driven even though they may not be academically inclined. evenings We thank you for your support in our tutor group and giving us hope that we are on the right path in meeting the needs of our people. KO TE MA NA O TE WHAKAWHA NAUNGATA NGA Mai I te Whakaaro, Ko te hiahia, Mai I te hiahia, Ko te Timatanga, Mai I te Timatanga, Ko te puawaitanga, O te Whanau o Te Rito Thei Mauri Ora I would like to thank our principal for making the effort for giving his tautoko at the national manu korero, it meant so much that he was able to clear his busy schedule to attend and support the kura and Andrew at the nationals, so kia ora mo to tautoko Elgin. Kia Ora from Te Whanau a Noa and Te Rito. Among the other feats this year was our Noho Marae that was aimed at bringing Maori together in a forum where they can feel nurtured and supported. To bring about a sense of solidarity to identify the strengths in our students and to bring out that Mana Motuhake that is inside of each and everyone of us. Thanks to all staff who attended This year has seen Te Whanau a Noa pay host to many supporting groups that have been welcomed onto our and to our guest speakers who were all past students you were great. Adam and Duke Boon, Matua Billy Maea marae, sports tournaments, fundraisers, kapa Haka, noho marae, manu korero, the inviting and welcoming of new and Arama Ngapo all gave their perspectives into being Maori and what it means to project the image of success so thanks very much for that, your support was great and I know that our tauira took a lot away for our korero. The staff and our students for powhiri to name but a few. fun and games and waiata that were initiated at our noho I believe is a sing of things to come for our whanau and Among the successes for Te Rito this year have been the new establishment of goals of 91% attendance so we look forward to a prosperous year for 2009. celebrating these achievements with a hakari, so this have been promising. Thanks once again to all our staff, SMT support, RTLB Sandy for your time and effort you have all been so This year has also seen one of our year 13 students Ngarimu Hapi do extremely well with his University papers wonderful and have given freely of your time for us, we do appreciate your ongoing support and tautoko Nga Mihi gaining and 95% pass overall all papers so well done Ngarimu, this is great for te rito and for Tokoroa High kia koutou katoa. All the best for the holiday season and take care our you mummy's, daddy's and each other. school. As well as this, Manu Korero has been a highlight with two sections entered this year with Bianca Ormsby in the junior English and Andrew Marama Lyon in senior English both did our school proud and we applauded them for their efforts. None of this would have been made possible without the support of our senior staff admin, Aroha Paekau and Matua Ngapo who encouraged our students into public speaking. Next year we hope to have all four sections HOD Languages dominated and to represent our school. As you aware this year has been a year of success for Te Rito, we have undergone many changes that we hope will see positive changes in our school. This year has been great working in te rito and of course none of it would have been made possible without the support of our Te Rito staff and tutors so thanks to you all, year 9 Mr Ngapo, Year ten Mr Hoby, Year 11, PA, Year 12 Mr Baker and year 13 Ms MB. To our fantastic SMT Elgin, Margot, Butch, Alan, Brian, what can I say your time and effort is invaluable, you continue to support our department and whanau, thank you so much.

I am currently playing off a 1 handicap, making me the lowest handicapped player in both clubs. Chantelle is the 2007 and 2008 Tokoroa Silver Division Club Champion, and holds the lowest rounds for 2008 at both clubs with gross rounds of 72 at Rotorua and 73 at Tokoroa. Douglas Gage is a very talented Year 13 student who has just been selected for the New Zealand Under 18's Maori League team. Douglas was stoked at his selection! He is of Te Whanua Apanui descent and He attended a Maori League tournament in the last holidays playing for a Raukawa team. The tournament was held at Haupuhapu and It was at this tournament that Douglas came to the notice of the selectors. Douglas dreams of wearing the NZ seniors black jersey one day. Douglas studying Physical Education, Sports Academy, Communications English, Computing and Food and Nutrition. He has also this year been involved in the GATEWAY scheme and has involved working at Strathmore school, helping their students in the sports and physical education area. Douglas started playing league at age 8 and since then has played for a team each year. Last year he went to Australia with the Tokoroa High School top team. He found this trip very worthwhile in helping polish up his league skills. He has been in the top Tokoroa High team for the last three years and this year is a reserve for the Forestland Falcons. 2008 achievements have been really good after changing Province this year. My gold was to represent BOP Women's Team at all levels. With a lot of hard work and top ten finishes at NZ tournaments at the beginning of 2008, had a lot to do with me being selected for the BOP Inter-District team, Quads and just recently the Inter-Provincial team that travelled to Nelson. A big highlight for the year was my trip to South Africa to play golf for NZ Jiters academy. During this time I also ended up on safari trip seeing giraffes, elephants, tigers and all that stuff. The shopping was totally different compared to NZ shopping... the clothing was different and so was the food. No Burger King or McDonalds! At National level I have had some excellent results. NZ Stroke Play Championship had a field of 160 players were I finished 7th making the cut of 60 players and going on to play in the NZ Match Play Championship where I finished 6th a great Tournament for me. My most memorial Tournaments have been the two Bob Charles Pro Am. The Tournament is set up for Professional, and Amateur players, men and women. First one was at Wairakei unfortunately I missed the cut by four shots, however a great experience for my first Pro Am. The second tournament was held at Taranaki, with scores of 78,73 and 74, I finished first equal much better result, however losing in a play off on the second hole for first place, just a fantastic result for me. YANNIS MEA Born: 14 February 1992 Weight: 68kg Height: 5ft. 9 Position: Centre / Wing Junior Club: Forestland Falcons / Pacific Sharks / Tokoroa High School XIII League Games Played: 156 I am reminded of the proverb "Trust in the Lord with all your heart" as I pay tribute to Yannis Mea. His Greatest success this year has come through Rugby League. From the National Rugby League Tournament held in Wellington this year, Yannis was named in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rugby League Team. He has also been offered a place at Cambridge High School in Australia in 2009. When you think of the calibre of young men that Yannis competes against for such a prestigious position, we have to ask ourselves, what makes him stand out from the rest? He has speed, strength and all the technical ability like his peers, but what separated Yannis from the pack, is his unyielding faith, which guides his character and in turn his actions. Yannis always carries his guitar and is never shy to sing a song or two. I know that Yannis will no doubt succeed in whatever career path he chooses for himself, I know that God will always be present where-ever Yannis goes. "Seek your happiness in the Lord and he will give you your hearts desire" Psalm 37:4 Ms Tarai All the top ten standings I have had this year has made a significant change in my NZ Women's Order of Merit standings, at the start of the year I was sitting at 32 and now I have moved up the ladder to number 12 in the country, something I am very proud of. Hopefully 2009 will be as fruitful as this year, and with a bit of hard work and commitment I may achieve my gold for 2009 making the NZ Development Team and representing my Country. TOKOROA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS DAY Tokoroa High School Athletics day records broken were: Senior Girls Shot put Junior Boys Triple Jump Kowhai house Charnz Ngatai in Junior boys competition, Sarah Bass in Junior Girls competition, Joshua Fa'agalu in Intermediate Boys competition and Nicola Ratima in Senior Girls competition dominated their categories. The competition for Intermediate girls and Senior Boys was spread out and was very close between 1st 2nd and 3rd champion place getters. Overall Whanau winner � Kowhai with a huge score of 893 points. � Kauri followed behind with 701, � Third was Rimu with 502 � Totara with 458 points. Champions from the day are: Junior Boys 1st Charnz Ngatai Shady John Denzil Manu 1st 2nd= 2 = 3rd Senior Boys 1st 2 3 rd nd nd Mid-Islands Athletics Championships Tuesday 4 April Angela Shaw Axel Kingi Senior Boys Relay team 9.24metres 9.90metres 49.81seconds The Mid-Islands Athletics Championships, featuring schools from South Waikato, Taupo, Rotorua and surrounding districts, was held at the Rotorua International Stadium. The inclusion of three extra Rotorua Schools (Western Heights, Te Koutu, and John Paul), meant that this years championships would be more competitive than normal, and so it proved with Western Heights clearly dominating, along with Rotorua Boys and Rotorua Girls. Weather conditions were cold, windy and gradually deteriorated into steady rain, forcing the cancellation of the last rotation of events. This disadvantage, to our athletes as we had a significant number set to compete in the final series. Junior girls Sarah Bass 1st Laetitia Sheck Mikimiki Ngata Intermediate Girls Nikki Reid Samantha Tremain Katty Cassidy Senior Girls 2nd 3rd 2 3rd Intermediate Boys 1st Joshua Fa'agalu Jason Harris Joshua Smith-Holley 1st 2 Wireless Ford 3 nd rd nd However, some notable performances were achieved by Tokoroa High School athletes. � The outstanding athlete on the day was Chanz Ngatai with a first placing in the Junior boys 200 metre sprint, second place in the Junior boys Discus, and third placing as a member of the 4 x 100metre Junior boys relay team. � This relay team also included Denzil Manu, Axl Kingi and Shady John. � Other place getters on the day were second placings for Patoa Tavai in the Senior boys Shot Put, and Laetitia Sheck in the Junior girls Discus. � Third placings were attained by Angela Shaw in the senior girls Shot Put, and Axl Kingi in the junior boy's Triple jump. 2nd Aiden Hawera Damien John Nicola Ratima Tekura Jubilee Julie Ball Our remaining athletes competed strongly, and can be proud of their performances. Quite a number achieved 4th placings, which in previous years would have resulted in a top three position. Overall, this was an excellent day out for the first major interschool competition for 2008. Finally, a huge thank you needs to be made to our participating athletes and sports staff at Tokoroa High School. The boys kicked off the season with a trial of games and we soon found out that from all our games we played our junior boys had no game. Well that's how Carl started. We had boys keen to play and they were all ready to give BBall the credit it deserves. It was played by real men and our junior boys cranked up the pace and Rotorua began to be our Tok High Gym. Big game players began to shine and soon we had John Wilson, Aydan Poko and star rookie Denzil Manu blazing the way. We soon began to be a force and our team elevated themselves to the A grade.Diviosn. Carl Haa began to take some trainings and the boys began to get some rhythm and we started to win some big games against schools that had more numbers. Remember we had "quality" and our team had one sound. Michael Ratima started to run our transition game. We won against Jean Pauls, Kura Kaupapa and western heights. Losing close to Rotorua Boys and lakes. Some highlights of the year was Chubbles shooting some airballs, Daemon Placids facials when he rebounds, Danny Boys Shuffling, Marco's 3 pointers, Johnny Wilsons lay up misses, Ayden Poko pointing to peoples shoes who were shooting and superman dive and Denzil Manu `s steals and lay ups like his father Michael Jordan. We can't forget the $5 Hawain pizza's at Pizza Hut free BK drinks and the stand up comedy by Arthur and Tim who were on the " Back on the Bus". Next year we will have our game on and the memories will live on. Team on 3 1.... 2.... 3.... TEAM. Give it up for the senior boy's basketball team (crowd goes wild). The boys were off to start another victorious season. Our game plan? To get a game plan. It all began at the "back of the buss" no trainings, no meetings, no fee's (sorry Ta). We managed to use our travelling time to sort out our moves. We kicked off the season with a bang, taking the competition leaders down to the wire in our opening match. The boys immediately gained the respect of opposing teams and spectators. As the games progressed our lack of training became evident. Resulting in a few narrow but disappointing losses. But the boys stayed strong and managed to defeat competitions favourites Western Heights in our final game. Highlights of the season were having more spectators than players on the buss. Aiden Hawera's dunks (in the warm up not in the game), Tana's mean rebounds (when his girlfriend wasn't there), Damian slick three pointers, Salo's kangaroo hops, Hayden's fluke shots, James attack (for the junior boys), Lachoneus' progresses, Chayden's immaculate defence (when he wasn't grounded), Arthur's fast-break's and handles and Carl Haa's SLAM DUNK on Rotorua Boys centre. All in all it was a good season big up's to the balers next year. T.O.K. Hi hard! 2008 was a year of raising the girl's basketball standard in TOK. We had trials at the start of the year and only the best were selected for the honour of representing our school. We started with a new competition in Rotorua and this included some big wins. This included beating Reperoa, Girls High black and kura kaupapa schools. We were on fire and soon we were put up in the A Grade competiton. We were supported by some very vocal crowds Aroha and Ruama's Loud Family. Visiting rugby team defeated in dual code match by Tokoroa side. Tokoroa High School hosted another international sports team recently. During the past two years, the school has hosted teams from Canada (girls rugby 2006 and boys rugby 2008), Australia (under 16 league 2006), Fiji (under 18 rugby 2006). The school also sent a touring team, playing rugby and league, to Australia in 2007. Our star rookie who played really well was Rebecca Hoani she had some great games pity she didn't last the whole season. We had some new girls with some new moves a.k.a Tekura and Meriol, they rocked the house with their pretty lay ups and their island comments. Loved your hook shot Tekura next time open your eyes. We had shy Kayla who rebounded hard and gave a few elbows to her opponents. Aroha and her clumsy shots were fantastic to watch she would always keep the team laughing and cracking up. The smooth shooting of Ceeson from the three point line was a sight to see. We had a new mangaian input who dominated the defence and offence she was known for her great shots and fast dribbling up the court thanks Ama and as Mr Manu would say it was a pity that you couldn't last a game. Our two mamas of the team were our star players of the season thanks Tarns for your hard work on defence and your experience that you bought to the team. Last of all our captain Nicola: if there is anyone who should make it into the WNBA it should be Nicola. She was unbelievable in her shots and her rebounds. She could score on any defence and as long as her ankle was alright we would always win. Some of the highlights in our season were when Aroha fell over, when we got mad when we lost, when we all had the munchies after our game. Next year we look forward to yet another good season. Thanks to all our team mates, coaches and Mr Manus trainings. Tarnz- feisty chick Kura- fluke shots Kay Kay- Quiet chick Aroz- speed chick Ama- serious Nicola- da champ Mel- . Island chick Ceeson- Smooth 3 Pointer Last Thursday 16 October, a touring under 16 rugby team from Ourimbah, Central Coast, Australia, played a game against a Tokoroa High School side. The game was played over four quarters and involved a unique combination of two quarters of rugby union and two quarters of rugby league. Pre-match preliminaries involved a sprint relay race between the two teams, which was easily won by Ourimbah. However, the visitors were soon to find out that the `rugby' would be a lot tougher. Rugby union was played over the first two quarters and was a hard fought match. Superbly led by Calvin Cooper, with support from James Horn, Aidan Poko, Jarrod Haare, John Wilson and Axl Kingi, Tokoroa High led 17 points to nil at the break. Fatigue from their travels and previous games were evident as the Ourimbah team tired badly during the rugby league quarters. New Zealand secondary schools representative Yannis Mea, led the charges as the Tokoroa boys built up a large score. Other outstanding `league' performances came from Nelson Sheck, Tobias Phillips, Brendon Te Kanawa and Opeta Utanga. At the conclusion of the match, Zane Tetevano presented a Cup named in his honour. Zane is a former Tokoroa High student now playing with the Newcastle Knights, and residing on the Central Coast. The Tokoroa High School coaching crew of Jim Horn, Nooroa Manu, Willie Ford, Alan Utanga and Carle Hakaria were satisfied with the results particularly in light of the short preparation time for the match. The match augurs well for 2009 with the school set to re-enter the 1st XV Waikato secondary schools rugby union competition. There will also be a team fielded in the Auckland secondary schools rugby league midweek competition.

It was a fine afternoon once the mist cleared and even though numbers were low the students that did run, put in a good effort. Sarah Bass cleaned up the junior girls with Laetitia Sheck and Kayla Gubb battling it out for second and third respectively. The junior boys had a closer race with Charnz Ngatai winning with Shady John second and Denzil Manu third, only thirty seconds separating the three. Molly Mitchell won the intermediate girls followed by Melissa Appel and Hayley Bason third. It was good to see the soccer girls having a run.

It was a disappointing turn out for a school with a proud swimming record. But congratulations to the students that took part and enjoyed the day. A keen group of year 9 boys and girls showed there is talent coming through the school. Shady Johns took overall honours in the boys with Charnz Ngatai coming a close second. Bianca Ormsby won the junior girls. The intermediate boys went to the wire with John Wilson pushing Travis Tautari all the way, with Travis coming out on top. Special mention to Molly Mitchell for being the only intermediate girl. Well done Molly. No senior girls took part this year which was disappointing. The senior boys were very competitive with the stand out performer being Symon Marama Lyons. Thanks to Arthur Tere, Symon was pushed all the way and in doing so broke three records, to go with the other records he has collected over the years. Thanks to the parents and students who helped.

The year started off with a bang, even though it was hard getting back into school mode from the holidays and all the fun exciting times with friends and family. I knew that I could nail NCEA Level Two and would reach my peak academically in Terms 3 & 4, so this opened the field for me to focus on my first true passion, which is sports. Young people from the town of Tokoroa are succeeding in the School rugby league competition in the Auckland city Willie Ford, the Head of Physical Education Department of Tokoroa High School has brought about an enthusiasm for school for senior boys. The 1st XIII rugby league students are driven weekly to Auckland for school rugby league games. Since early May each week the team has hopped in two hired vans at lunchtime for the 2 and a half to three hour drive to play in the Auckland schools rugby league competition, playing at 4pm and returning home by 9.30pm. So far they have won against James Cook High School, Avondale College, Manurewa High school and lost to St Pauls. This is a great outcome for a team traveling for two and half hours to compete. Yesterday they played Sir Edmund Hillary College and came away with a 12-0 victory. The coaching team of Willie Ford, Alan Utanga, Carle Hakaria and Nooroa Manu has been outstanding to take a group of students from a pool of 200 students to compete against schools with pools of approximately 1000 students. The school provides a sports academy qualification package which runs beside the schools Rugby league competition. This programme has a strong academic base and progresses into career pathways in Sport Science. These students have been part of the sport's development programme at school since their 3rd form years. Students have been part of a touring team to Australia in September 2007 and to the Cook Islands in April 2008. Some students have won scholarships with the professional rugby league clubs in Australia. There is a spin off with students attendance improving. Students have gain renewed enthusiasm for learning by gaining a connection to school through the rugby league competition.

Out of five games that we played we won four of them and just lost 10-4 against the secondary champs S.T Paul's. We got down to nationals and were accommodated in a very uplifting facility thanks to Mr Utanga, Mr Ford and Mr Manu and also Mr Hakaria. We played five games all up and managed to get a placing of third in the whole New Zealand which is a It was a busy time for me, so the focus was great achievement for Tokoroa High School. predominantly on the up-coming tour for my Rugby League club Patiki Sharks to the Cook Islands which So as you can see, I've had a great year in Sport, and would be a highlight for me, especially in Aitutaki.

Single... and Free". Our school finally established a 1st XIII rugby league team to compete at the secondary school nationals. Savea Daniels Malietoa We played five pre-season games against Auckland City / Country Competition 1st X111 Rugby League When you think of what sport matters most it is without doubt rugby and when you look on the field you expect to see the boys playing rugby. But when we our Tok High girls play rugby, it's the bomb and our team ripped it up. Being apart of the Tokoroa High School rugby girls team this year was such a great opportunity as we combined with FVHS. In all, we played approximately seven games and were fortunate to win all and were the undefeated champions. I would like to thank our coaches Nico and Sio, thanks for your time, hard work and dedication. Thanks must also go out to our hard working team you girls rock, so thanks to Louise, Bianca, Isabella from Tok High. The competition this year proved hard but as we entered the field we annihilated the other opponents, it has been a privilege playing with our successful team and we wish the girls next year all the best, we will be there cheering you on Bernadette Kerr. Rugby L eague Boys Earn Third Place at the Nationals However, Aotea were spirited and had an equal desire to make the semi-final but lost 34 � 16 to a relaxed Tokoroa. Savea Daniel-Malietoa was outstanding in the halves, restoring faith in his team mates. Despite a disrupted preparation before the semi-final against powerhouse champions St Paul's, Tokoroa were quietly confident and inspired by their following of faithful supporters. From the kick-off though, the ball was handed back to St Paul's who returned it with interest and vigour unmatched by Tokoroa. Bartie, again, saved face and tackled ferociously while diminutive Anthony Utanga was courageous at fullback. With the expectation of winning the tournament truly buried, Tokoroa could look ahead and focus on restoring some pride, once again, against `de ja vu' Southern Cross who blew their semi-final in extra time to Wainuiomata College after their captain, a NZ Warriors development prodigy, was stood down a game for dissent. Tokoroa player of the tournament Sam Bartie was well supported by his team mates who rallied well throughout the game despite setbacks and stuck to their game plan. With minutes to go, Tokoroa controlled the possession only to lose it on the hooter and Southern Cross desperately moved the ball to their star fullback who was at halfway before he was cut down by a enthusiatic Tokoroa defence. Tokoroa deservedly won 14 � 12. The players are extremely grateful to their management for this great opportunity to `find themselves' lead by the industrious Willie Ford and Nooroa Manu; and are also appreciative of their greatest fans, their parents and sponsors Also congratulations to Aydan Poko, John Wilson, Opeta Utanga, Manunui Wana and Gideon Letoga on their successful selection into the Tritons U15 Rugby squad. Whilst most of us are enjoying the break from winter sports these boys are still training in preparation for their Waikato championship tournaments which are being held during the month of September. Their grand final is being played on Friday 26 September and depending on the outcomes of the games leading up to the finals may see these boys run on to the number one field at Waikato Stadium. Willie Ford Tokoroa High School came a comfortable third at the recent national secondary schools' rugby league tournament held at Wainuiomata College in Wellington. Tokoroa beat Southern Cross campus school of Auckland 14 � 12 in a thrilling third and fourth playoff match presiding the final between eventual tournament winner St Paul's of Auckland and host Wainuiomata College. After a welcoming powhiri on the first day it was business as usual in the first game for Tokoroa who never settled against 2007 finalist Southern Cross. Both teams threw everything at each other knowing the loser would meet St Paul's in the semi-final. A game fitting of a final, the crowd was paltry but oblivious to Southern Cross who won 6 -4. Tokoroa paid dearly losing their player of the day, Jai Withers, for the remainder of the tournament due to injury. Licking their wounded pride, Tokoroa annihilated St Bernard's of Wellington 42 � 0 on the second day. Sam Bartie had a commanding game scoring two tries and tackling the opposition to a standstill. On day three, Tokoroa met Aotea College of Wellington who were only expected to provide fodder before the eventual semi-final with St paul's Girls First Eleven We beganoff with a bad start but once we began training and got help from teachers, we started getting better and better. As the season went on we began working as a team. It was had for the girls but we got there. We could have played better in games, but im still proud of the team. I'm so proud of Sam Hansen, Devon Morris, Cluadia Russel, Molly Mitchelle, Courtney Ross and Rebecca Russel for trying so hard in all the games. Menante Appel and Julie Ball I want to thank you for helping me with coaching and sorting out the team I really appreciate what you did. I would also like to thank Judith for coaching us this year. Melissa Appel Boys First Eleven For the first game of the season the boys travelled up to St Paul's College to face their First Eleven who are the eighth ranked team in New Zealand. This result was an eye opener for us as we lost 17-0 and it showed us just how much work we will need to put in to compete with the top teams. and loosing a couple of games however with the departure of coach Matej Benes Chris reformatted the team putting players into all new positions. With the new formation and strategies we took on the rest of the season and won all of our games. We also took down the top team 4-1 who had beaten us at the start of the season 5-0. With a loaded back line we only conceded 1 goal in seven games. We finished the season in second posiWhen the grading games rolled around the team was set back with their tion which was an awesome result when you consider that most of the boys captain Chris Teague being out with an injury. We played poorly loosing a had never played a season before. few games which landed us in the 6th division. Our first league game was As Captain I was very proud of the boys and how they stepped up when our against Otorohanga Second eleven. We travelled over there with a full coach left. Playing with boys that have never played before was looking like strength team with boys that have been out with injury back in the squad. a step back for me this year however I am very glad I did. I had truck loads However we found ourselves down 3-1 at half time but manage to lift our of fun coaching and taking the field with you. I am definitely looking forward heads and pulled them back to draw three all. We had a slow start drawing to summer soccer and the following season. Chris Teague ` Good players practise until they get it right. Legends practise until they never get it wrong' THS Moonlight The year started off like MAGIC, in Mooonlight winning the C Grade Open day Tournament. Senior A Our team consists of Serena Olsen (Captain) plays (C) Centre. She controls the play and flow of the game. Because she is fit, the team depend on her to keep the game going. Coral Olsen plays GD,Gk. A defensive player that fights for every ball and with her enthusiastic and positive attitude she is an attribute to the team. Keilah Teao WD, WA. A quiet player that gives her all. She adds her basketball falir and skill to spice up the game. Bathany Ratu GK, WD, WA When she could, she was there, working to help the girls in a team effort. Ruth Letoga, GD, GK is a tight defender and most promising in the defensive circle. She will have a go at anything. Claudia Turia GS, GA, WA is a sharp shooter and will have a go from anywhere. Meriol Tearetoa GS, GA, WA is the best feeder out. She knows just where to place the ball. Tekura Jubilee GS, GA, WA brings in her basketball styles and enjoys laying it up. With our attacking team, when their hot, their hot, and when their not, their not. The best supporters in the whole wide world are Mr and Mrs Olsen, who weathered the wind, rain and hail to watch and support every game we played. Thank you for your faith, cheers and constructive criticism and the peanut slabs. But there was a kind of magic that lingered over us, whether we were blessed because it never rained for our games. THS Sunshine Kai orana, Kia ora, Talofa, Greetings. Oso'oso, Ashley, Kayla, Cheri, Patricia, Somaar, Marina and the lovely supports Reyna and Te Ara'ara had a difficult but season. They are definitely Tokoroa High's dedicated social to `soso, showing leadership, dedication and pride as captain. Also, big ups to Marina, Elvisa and Kayla for their dedication and denotion. Massiva thanks also to Ms. Tarai and Mrs Poko for everything. We had a great time! Miss Krause (minder, trainer) The Tokoroa High School senior A netball squad for 2008 consisted of 9 players who participated in all aspects of the game. Training performances ran extremely well and were mirrored through match performances. These girls showed their true ability on day one of the beginning of the Tokoroa Netball Competition. The opening day of the netball season is known to be the most important day of the netball season as this day is recognized as the grading day. This particular day encourages each and every team to play to the best of their ability. This enables the teams to be fairly graded and fairly placed into the right playing section. These judgments are made by the performances and scores of the teams on that day. The highest grade of the competition is the Premiere Grade. For the past three years Tokoroa High School was unable to qualify for the Premiere grade. The team has managed to play in the A grade, which is still good because this is the second highest grade in the competition. This year I, Angela Shaw (captain) is proud to announce that after three years my 2008 Tokoroa High school netball team won the opening day of the tournament and also the most astounding accomplishment, we qualified for the Premiere grade. The 9 girls whom made up this squad were, Pania Hosking, Daina Charlie, Nicola Ratima, Teegan Rangitutia, Whetu White, Ceeson Deane, Krystal Tangimataiti, Ayla Cartwright, Angela Shaw (captain) and Coached by Janita Poko On behalf of the team but especially the senior girls I would like to give a special thanks to Mrs Janita Poko for giving up her time and sharing all her knowledge with us. We really appreciated it. If it wasn't for you and your hard core trainings us seniors wouldn't of had the opportunity to leave Tokoroa High School on such a great outcome. Thank you again. Lets hope there isn't another long gap before the next Tokoroa High School team makes the premiere grade. Junior A Rep Trials There were numbers galore for the trials led by Mrs Poko, a tight ship ready to sail, with new contracts, new goals, and a way forward to really lifting the levels of Netball at Tokoroa High School. So from the trials, we brought forth 5 teams, however after 3 weeks of training and finalising teams, only the best stayed. Open day started off with a bang with all teams winning their first rounds. What a fantastic start to the Grading Day Netball hosted by the Tokoroa Netball Centre. We had 4 teams entered and they all had 4 games each. The girls looked sharp, prepared and definitely eager to come away with a win. Recognition must be given to the coaches of our teams for their commitment in getting our teams ready to play from Day 1. THS A � Mrs Janita Poko THS Junior A � Mrs Donella Bass THS Moonlight � Miss Tarai THS Sunshine � Miss Krause We managed to come away with some fantastic wins on the day. As a school we played 16 games and won 14 of them. However recognition must go towards our Junior A team who had only 15 points scored against them out of their 4 games. A very promising team to look out for. So inevitably, our Junior A took out B Grade section 2, and THS Moonlight took out Section 2 C Grade. Rugby Under 15 The under 15s who are playing in the B division are having a great season so far. After a loss to Putaruru they have been undefeated. The team is growing in confidence with each game and with good performances from James Horn, Gideon Letoga, John Wilson and Axl Kingi the rest of the season looks promising. A special thank you to parents Jimmy and Kerry Horn and James Poko for their time and effort this is very much appreciated After a tough beginning to the season mainly due to lack of numbers , the under 14s have shown great commitment, and have stayed positive. This has lead them to win their last two games. With consistently good games from Denzil Manu, Reginald Matekohio and George Rikiau and with a lot of new players slowly learning the game things a really looking up for these young players. Our thanks go to Mr Manu and Mr Pollard for their patience and experience Rugby Under 14 This year we had an exciting season with new rugby boys being recruited for the under 14 team. There were new boys being asked to come down. Gary, Shady, Robell, Reynor, Greg.George and others. We started the season with some early loss's against Hamilton Boys High Black. The boys also went to the sevens and only won a few games. We had to make some changes and Coach Mr Manu and Craig Pollard began to organise some trainings. It was decided that we would train with the under 15's and this made our boys tough and focused for the games. We started to develop an awesome front row with Keanu, Sean and Reginald and great lineout's with Lucas taking the ball. The front row began to dominate and beat Fairfield in our first win. We then started to use the skills of Denzil Manu who dazzled the team with his running and tackling. Our most punishing runner was George Rikiau and he ran through heaps of people. We strung together some big wins and then came Thomas Thompson who smashed his way through the backline. Shady would do some big runs and our boys began to look like title winners. The boys played on the main oval in front of a big crowd and were fired up to play against HBHS Red who beat us earlier in the season and we had bet them before. It was all on and the boys showed heaps of heart and physically bruising tackles. The boys ran out winners beating HBHS in the finals with a thrilling game with the final score 28 to 24. An unreal season in which the boys turned out winners. The following boys made the Waikato under 13 camp. `Denzil Manu and Reginald Matekohi. All the boys want to say is, watch out for 2009 Zane Tetevano: From Tokoroa High School to the Newcastle knights Zane joined the Newcastle Knights for the 2008 season after being identified as a player of great potential by Newcastle Knights Recruitment and Welfare Manager, Mick McEntyre, at a match where Tokoroa High School on tour played the Hunter Development Academy in September 2007. Zane was invited to trial and performed very well in the official trials which led to Mick visiting the school and meeting with the family. Zane was offered a 2 year contract with the club and accepted. Zane was a member of the S.G. Ball Competition team (18 years) for the first half of the season and despite missing some weeks with injury performed at a high level. When this competition concluded in May, Zane was one of several players chosen from this team to be promoted to the National Youth Competition Squad (Toyota Cup). This is an Under 20 competition involving all NRL clubs. Zane is now a regular starting player with the team at 2nd row and lock and has impressed all at the club with his ability and attitude. Zane has been asked to train over the summer with the Knights 1st grade squad. The Newcastle Knights see a very good future for Zane in the NRL. NZ Secondary School League Zane was part of the careers development programme into sports conducted at Tokoroa High School over the past four and a half years. The programme is set to expand next year with the introduction of the Year 9 Netball Academy, under 14 Rugby Union Academy, Junior Sports Academy, and Elite Sports Academy for students who are New Zealand representatives or champions. These academies will complement the current Sports Academy for year 12 and year 13 levels at Tokoroa High School. The Academy programme for 2009 will be supervised by Head of Physical Education Willie Ford, Head of Sport Nooroa Manu, and Sports Coordinator Mike McCurran. The school currently has a number of nationally ranked athletes, including gymnast Kurt Russell, golfer Chantelle Cassidy, league players Jai Withers, Vinnie Phillips, Yannis Mea, Douglas Gage and touch reps Anthony Utanga and Savea Daniel-Malietoa. The 2009 Academy programme is designed to assist as much as possible the further development and enhancement of athletes at Tokoroa High School. NZ Secondary School Touch Swimming Carl Haa, Has been playing Basketball for the last 3 years and he has accomplished much over his time at Tokoroa High School.He has represented Thames valley and Hauraki Maori U17 and U19 and has participated in many national Basketball Tournaments. In late 2007 he was offered a trial to represent New Zealand in Australia which he narrowly missed out on and has been offered to retrial in late December of this year. Carl say's "Financially it has been tough having to travel to Thames every Sunday and has put a financial strain on my family, but it has been worth it." Early this year Carl was invited to apply for a scholarship from Head Sport Co-ordinator at Waikato University and has applied and will hear back in early November. Carl hopes to play for the Tall Blacks in the future and believes that if granted a Scholarship it would play a vital part in helping him achieve this goal. Congratulations Carl Basketball Rep Te Kahui Whetu students attended the Special Olympics Swimming Ribbon Day in Te Awamutu on the 7 of March 160 students competed from the Waikato region.

Netball Reps For the netball season of representatives, most of our games were all played in the wet, cold, pouring rain. The season started off with our first game being held at our very own sports grounds. We played four games for that wet, miserable day, and won 3 games. Following Sunday was the game held in Matamata. The weather was clear with only a few clouds that were displayed (the sun pecked), and we had three games. We won one game, lost another, and the last was against our own U15's and lost (it was a crack up and fun). Taupiri was where our next game was held. That day we played four games and I think lost nearly all our games, but it was raining and cold. There was the Allied tournament, but was cancelled due to the bad weather. A week pasted, and then we had our last game for the whole season, the Taupo tournament, and it seems to be the only clearest day we got, but the coldest. We had six games set for us, in every second round, and out of the six games we were suppose to play, we only played four due to all the hangovers and injuries we had. But out of it all, it was a good season for my first time in the netball rep team. By Teagan-Jade Rangitutia. Basketball Reps Danielle Patterson 3rd 25m freestyle, 2nd 25m backstroke, 3rd relay. Tokoroa High School Boys Have Fun in the Sun The second game in Aitutaki against a SENZ sponsored former Kiwi Kevin Iro directed sports academy team drew much local attention and expectation of a win. A huge crowd were in attendance and another fully laden opposition bench. By halftime it was clear the tourists were a side of quality scoring at will in the first half. Paul Daniels, Anton Taikoko, and Anthony Utanga were in scintillating form. In the second half, the locals reinforced their team to manage a respectable final scoreline of 24-16. A lagoon cruise and games of Touch with the locals helped nurse injuries in preparation for the final game in Rarotonga. In the finale of the tour against the Rarotongan SENZ sponsored team, Kevin Iro was on hand to coach the local team. In the first half, again, the tourist piled pressure on the score board with four unanswered tries. Symon MaramaLyon, Ethan Tetevano, Bartie, Tuau, and Daniels-Malietoa were outstanding in the 34-18 demolition. The Sharks forwards were ruthlessly brutal and the backs accurate. For the third time, the opposition were allowed late in the game to flatter the score line. This tour affirmed the quality of this Sharks team after three grand finals in as many years. San Bartie who is off to Australia to chance the lucrative League had an outstanding tour. Tuau, Kerr, Tetevano, Daniels, Colin Mathis, Ezra Takiri, Arthur Tere, Aiden Hawera, and MaramaLyon are all capable of senior duties. Taikoko, Utanga and Daniels-Malietoa will remain with the under 17's and continue with the development of those players. The success of this tour can be attributed to all those who toured and in particular Korio Turia and Maree Hawkins. The Pacific Sharks under 18 rugby league team returned last weekend from a tour of the Cook Islands unbeaten. This is a monumental achievement according to Coach George Turia, considering they had to overcome the tropical conditions, and tour with only sixteen players. Upon arrival to Rarotonga, the Pacific tourists were spectators to club League between the Tupapa Panthers and Arorangi Bears. The quality of the premier game reinforced the difficult challenge ahead and the ferocity at which they play locally. The first game of the tour was against a selection of players from local clubs Avatiu Eels, Arorangi and Titikaveka Bulldogs. Despite an opposition bench too numerous to count and conscious of the tropical heat, the Sharks hammered the score board in the first quarter before the locals were able to compete. Sam Bartie, Thomas Kerr, Savea Daniel-Malietoa, and Captain Tana Tuau were brilliant in the 38-16 win. The next day saw some well earned recovery kayaking in Muri Lagoon.

Once again I would like to thank to tutors of Y13 for all their support and encouragement that they have provided for their students, in particular Mr. Ford and Mr. Kinlock who have been with them since 2004. I myself have enjoyed working with our students and it is pleasing to see so many of them staying right through to Y13. I wish you all well in your future careers or studies and remember to drop in and tell us how things are going for you, as it is always nice to see how the finished product turned out.

Elvisa Robb "Iiiiii aaaam beautifuuuul!" It is with much regret that I write this last yearly report for a group of students that I have known since 2005. This year's students can be divided into two general groups. Those students who were heavily involved in sport and the others. All of them have been involved in a wide range of activities in our school community, some of which are highlighted below. As with all Y13 groups, they have once again contributed to the leadership of our school. Bernadette Kerr was the Head girl, Patoa Tavai the Head boy while others became Prefects. Thanks must goes to those who picked up the reigns of responsibility and put in their best efforts. It was awesome to see the enthusiasm and dedication from the large number who turned up to help clean, paint and reorganise the Senior Common Room at the start of the year. Term Two was a busy time for the students. Some went off to visit the V-8 Student Leaders day in Hamilton. There they met Greg Murphy, interacted with students from other schools and looked over the racing cars. The school Senior ball was held during the term. This is an event that is always looked forward to every year. It was great to see our students in their "finest", with all having a good time. Arthur Tere was the King of the Ball and Aroha Ngata the Queen of the Ball. Term two holidays saw Jesse Stol, Louise Sinclair and Bernadette Kerr attend the SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) conference in Wellington. Upon their return they set up the programme for future students at the high school. Ngarimu Harpi was involved in studies at an intermediate university level where he gained an A+ in the Maori paper entitled � "Te Pihinga". Meanwhile Elvisa Robb focused on her own musical talents by being involved in "Search for the Stars" and writing original songs. It was the area of sport that also played an important part in the lives of many students who played at many levels including our own High School, the Regions, NZ National teams and even Overseas.

Leonardo DiCaprio's pal Orlando Bloom just had a scuffle with Justin Bieber and now DiCaprio has come out of a fight of his own! RadarOnline.com has learned that the actor recently settled a defamation suit brought by 17 members of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation — a tribe that makes its home in New Jersey's Ramapo Mountains — who sued his production company for defamation and emotional distress for the film Out of the Furnace.
The trouble started after members of the tribe got upset that they shared the last name of the main character in the movie, Harlan DeGroat. The plaintiffs didn't appreciate that the film made references to them as inbred and dangerous drug addicts.
READ: The Court Papers Dismissing The Suit
DiCaprio's production company countered that they were protected by the First Amendment and pointed out that movies have long portrayed various groups in a negative light, such as The Godfather did with Italians.
But now, a court has dismissed the charges without prejudice after the plaintiffs said their issues with the filmmakers had been amicably adjusted.

With a history of encouraging workers to emigrate to relieve unemployment at home, Tunisia now has 11 percent of its population living abroad. The factors underlying the 2011 revolution that sparked the Arab Spring have also fueled emigration desires for many Tunisians. This country profile explores historical and current trends in Tunisia from colonial settlement to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and the new focus on migrant rights at home and abroad.
Read Article
Mexico has lost its long-held status as the top source country of new immigrants to the United States, dropping to third place behind China and India. This historic shift is remarkable for the rapid decline in Mexican inflows combined with a steady rise in Asian immigration, largely through high-skilled visa programs. This Policy Beat explores the reasons behind these trends and their potential impact on U.S. demographics.
Though relatively unexplored, there are myriad links between migration and corruption. This article offers ten connections between migration and corruption, from the facilitation of illegal migration and humanitarian protection to impediments to development benefits. The migration-corruption nexus is examined in three case studies: human trafficking in Nigeria, police extortion in Latin America, and a Norwegian return scheme for Iraqi asylum seekers.
Indian immigrants represent the second-largest origin group in the United States, accounting for 4.7 percent of the total foreign-born population. Generally high-skilled and highly educated, more than half of Indian immigrants have arrived since 2000 and largely attain green cards through employment-based pathways. Indians account for 70 percent of H-1B petitions and are the second-largest group of international students in the United States.
The end of the Vietnam war, marked by the fall of Saigon in 1975, precipitated the mass Indochinese refugee crisis, which saw more than 2 million people flee the region, often on unseaworthy boats. Following the war, Vietnamese migration was divided between humanitarian flows to the West, and labor migrants to allied communist countries. More recently, Vietnam's rapid economic growth has prompted increased labor migration to Asia and a rise in migrant brides.
The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to bring in foreign workers to temporarily fill low-skill nonagricultural jobs across a wide range of states and industries. A series of recent legal challenges has exposed the presence of fraud and abuse, while stripping the program of its regulations and raising uncertainty about its future. This Policy Beat examines the implications in the debate surrounding temporary worker programs.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
France is introducing a new three-pronged approach to immigrant integration: a revised integration plan, a proactive campaign against discrimination, and a more open but still highly selective immigration policy.
Immigration has been a significant factor in New Zealand's history since the mid-19th century, and recently net migration gains have reached the highest levels ever recorded. Richard Bedford of the University of Waikato looks at the challenges ahead.
This article maps out the key features of three of the primary U.S. Census Bureau data resources used to research immigration: the census itself, the American Community Survey, and the Current Population Survey.
Using Census 2000 data, MPI Data Manager Elizabeth Grieco examines the ability to speak English among the foreign born at the national, regional, and state levels.
The number of asylum applications lodged with European Union countries fell slightly in 2001, and the number of requests received by particular countries varied enormously.

Can't wait for Moab in April, to bad you can't make it. Oh, and I think Tech Days is the same wk-end. Oh well can't do everything. Keep the rubber side down, Craig/Tuna.
Hey Craig, also good to see you on ADV and thanks! Good to hear your XT is running great and you, Glenn and I will definitely have to go riding on the dry side one of these days, asap. Good to hear the TCI rack fit the bill and I know what you mean on the "smallest ever put on any motorcycle" stock foot pegs.... Somehow, I still have the stock pegs on my XT, and now that I am using motocross boots, I'll have to change 'em to the oversize units so I don't put my foot into the ground at an unexpected moment!
I wish I could make Moab in April... too many darn things happening in the same weekend!
