BOXING: "I can't wait to wear the green and gold again."
11/09/2018 18:29 ⋅ admin
25 YEAR OLD Shelley Watts from Laurieton has been boxing competitively since 2010. She juggles her competitive roster with work commitments plus study at Southern Cross University.
Shelley's immediate goal is to make the Australian team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. With her selection to travel to Europe as part of the Boxing Australia Academy Team tour, she is one step closer to achieving this.
Shelley was selected for the eight week tour by Boxing Australia after her performance at an Australian Institute of Sport training camp in late July.
"The European tour will give me the opportunity to see what other countries are doing and more importantly, the competition I'm likely to face in Glasgow," she said.
"I can't wait to wear the green and gold again."
Some assistance is needed to help the talented athlete achieve her dream. She is seeking some financial support to ensure she can take full advantage of the European tour and continue to train for the Commonwealth Games team.
"Financial support for female boxers is limited," Shelley explained.
"Unfortunately whether you achieve your dream can come down to dollars."
Shelley has worked hard to give herself the best possible chance to get to Glasgow.
"Adrenalin Fitness plus Mike and Paula from the Laurieton Hotel Bistro have been great supporters," Shelley said.
"Lately I've needed to travel interstate for competition, which really eats into my savings."
If you can help, Shelley would love to hear from you. She is not looking for thousands, just enough to help her reach her goal.
Shelley can be contacted via email at [email protected]南京夜网.

Back streets given new life and style
Sharp: Syracuse features 27 apartments in a range of configurations with contemporary decor.Hawthorn streets between the railway line and Burwood Road are being eyed by developers for apartment developments, replacing the not-so-special mix of low-rise commercial buildings and what can best be described as "remnant" housing.
From Power Street in the west through almost to Burke Road in the east, the "backstreets" are being revitalised with apartment blocks that put residents within walking distance of Glenferrie or Burke Road shops and either Glenferrie or Auburn train stations.
The latest project is Syracuse, at 8 Queens Avenue, which will put a seven-level block of 27 apartments on a wide site now occupied by a two-storey commercial building.
Queens Avenue has the Auburn Road shops at its eastern end and, at the western end, there is Henry Street and its underpass connection to the large and pretty Central Gardens. So, for residents there will be shops, transport and open space within easy walking distance. Unlike some developments, the block will not back onto the train line but will be on the other side of the street.
There are eight one-bedroom apartments and 19 two-bedroom apartments in a block whose exterior will add a sharp modern look to the street, with green, white and grey the highlight colours on the angled frames that front each level. At ground level, Syracuse will front the street but the upper levels will be set back.
One-bedroom apartments range from 46 square metres to 62 square metres and have balconies ranging from eight square metres to 13 square metres. Prices are from $379,000 to $479,000.
Two-bedroom apartments range from 60 square metres to 78 square metres and have balconies of between eight square metres and 56 square metres. Eight of these have two bathrooms, and all apartments have parking and a storage cage. Prices vary widely – from $539,000 to $759,000.
A sixth-floor, two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, with views from the wraparound balcony, is $629,000 while, one floor down, a similar-sized apartment with a smaller balcony is $564,000.
Buyers have a choice of two colour schemes featuring grey and white. Many apartments have a study nook, and kitchens have Smeg appliances. Apartments also include a Fisher & Paykel fridge, washing machine and dryer.
A little more than half have sold, to a mix of investors and owner-occupiers. Construction is due to begin later this year.
A display suite is open Saturdays 11am-noon and Beller, 9510 1966, is marketing the project.
GALLERY: JACK NEWTON: 30 years after the accident

THE distinctive scent of freshly cut grass and horse manure greets me as I pull up at the Newton family's sprawling seven-acre Cardiff Heights property. It is an idyllic setting featuring a natural spring, quaint stone bridge, decades-old timber stable, statue-still chestnut horses, white fence posts, a flock of brown flecked ducks, squawking cockatoos, a large swimming pool, tennis court and white weatherboard home.
When the family moved here from Warners Bay in 1984, Newton named the property Augusta in honour of the famed American golf course in Georgia that is home to the annual Masters tournament. Newton was first invited to the prestigious competition in 1976 and was runner-up in 1980, tying for second behind Seve Ballesteros and joining the group of five Aussie runners-up that also includes Jim Ferrier and Bruce Crampton.
Queenslander Adam Scott ended decades of near-misses and heartbreak in April this year when he defeated 2009 champion Angel Cabrera with a birdie at the second hole of a sudden-death play-off. The 32-year-old's victory was stunning and Newton, who challenged Scott two years ago at a Melbourne press conference about his lacklustre putting form, reckons it came down to two factors.
''He accepted it [putting] was an issue and changed to the long putter and he's now got the best caddie in the game. [Steve] Williams is the sort of guy who expects majors wins – he's caddied for Norman and Woods. They were two significant changes and his career's turned around. He's starting to believe he can win majors and so he should.
''But I don't think I'm on his Christmas card list,'' the straight-shooting 63-year-old adds with a devilish chuckle.
We are sitting at the dining table; Newton at the head with his back to the glass doors that open out to the alluring swimming pool, and wife Jackie closest to the kitchen. The unpretentious home has been extended over the years to accommodate the couple's children, former golf pro Kristie and Penrith Panthers second-rower Clint, who grew up swimming and riding with friends on weekends when they weren't playing sport.
While the children now live separate lives – Kristie in Melbourne and Clint in Sydney – Augusta remains the sentimental centre of Newton family life. The interior is the antithesis of contemporary minimalism with shelves lined with knick-knacks collected during extensive travels and white walls adorned with artwork. The treasured clutter charts the family's colourful history, but the one event that dramatically altered all of their lives is represented in the most profound way – the empty right sleeve of Newton's navy and white polo shirt.
July24 marked the 30th anniversary of Newton's horrific accident at Sydney Airport, which shocked the nation and made international headlines. The facts are well-known: Newton had travelled south with four friends – including the experienced pilot – in a small plane to watch the Sydney Swans play; as the plane readied for departure that Sunday night Newton, who had not made it on board, was struck by the Cessna's propeller.
Friend Frank D'Arcy, who was credited with helping to save Newton's life as he lay injured and bleeding profusely on the tarmac, told the Herald: ''We didn't think he was coming, then he appeared outside on the left side of the aeroplane. He couldn't get aboard and must have been trying to get around to the door on the other side … But an aeroplane is not like a motor car, you can't just walk around to the other side. And there are no rear vision mirrors on a plane. It was very dark there. Pitch black''.
The propeller sheared off his right arm, sliced open his abdomen and struck the right side of his face, destroying his eye. Renowned ophthalmologist Fred Hollows was one of three highly respected medicos who repaired Newton's brutal injuries. ''It was really lucky that the Prince of Wales had its A team on that night,'' quips Newton.
While he can't remember anything about that night, witnesses have told him that he tried to get up off the tarmac. D'Arcy held him down.
''I could have walked around the corner and got an Aeropelican flight,'' reflects Newton, but it is the only time he even hints at regret.
He would normally have been at the British Open golf tournament, but a persistent elbow strain – he can no longer remember which arm had been afflicted though he thinks it was the right one – meant that he didn't make the trip to the UK that week. ''It's like most accidents,'' offers Jackie philosophically. ''It was an accumulation of a few factors.''
When did Newton first learn of his injuries? ''I can remember waking up after the first operation and I sort of went …'' – he rubs his right shoulder – ''and said, 'Where's my arm gone?' The nurse said, 'You've lost your arm'. Jesus, you can imagine. I think at that point I passed out again. It was a gradual process of accepting the fact that it was gone.''
He also had to accept that his career was gone, too.
For younger readers, and even those with hazy memories of that time, to put the sudden and premature end of Newton's career into a contemporary context, imagine Adam Scott ''being struck down before his US Masters win'', says sport journalist Will Swanton, co-author of Amen: How Adam Scott won the US Masters and Broke the Curse of Augusta National. ''It's very cruel that Jack was robbed of the same chance [to win a major]. He was a giant of the game and probably would have done it. Maybe that's why he loses patience when he thinks young guys are wasting their talent.''
''You don't become a giant of the game without the wins,'' says former professional golfer-turned-commentator Brett Ogle, ''and he was winning. He was contending for majors and was very unlucky not to win a couple, very unlucky. He was a superstar in his prime.''
He had been runner-up in the 1975 British Open, which the preppy 25-year-old American Tom Watson won by one stroke after an 18-hole play-off with Newton, also 25, and described by an English commentator as ''casually, shamblingly [sic] flamboyant''.
He won the Australian Open in 1979 and tied for second at the US Masters in 1980. He was 33 at the time of the accident.
''I felt there were all sorts of options for me,'' he says. ''The common perception was that you were at your best as a golfer between 30 and 40.''
While the accident crushed Newton's dreams and almost claimed his life, it is what he did next that defines him.
JACK Newton snr was a Cessnock coalminer like his father. He was also a hard task master and strong golfer who instilled a love of sport in his rambunctious son, known by family members as Jack jnr. (''Don't ever call your kid the same name as a parent, especially when they both play golf,'' complains Newton). When Jack snr moved the family to Sydney so he could retrain as a police officer, Newton ''had a go with most sports''. ''I went to school to play sport, really,'' he jokes. ''I played rugby, league, soccer, cricket. Dad had been a league player in Cessnock, but he told me to give the game away and concentrate on golf. I enjoyed the rough and tumble, the team thing, but golf is a very good game for young people. It involves discipline, honesty and integrity.
''When I was at Epping High I copped a bit of stick about golf. It was seen as a pussy's game,'' he laughs heartily, with the confidence of someone who became a professional player at 21 and won his first international tournament, the Dutch Open, a year later. He may be many things – egotistical, opinionated, brutally honest, competitive and stubborn – but no one would describe him as a pussy.
Newton has always been one of the boys. He enjoys a drink and a good time, and likes to be around people who enjoy a drink and a good time. His colourful language is legendary and he loves telling stories. He tells me about meeting the British actor and writer Robert Shaw, well-known for his role as the dissolute Quint in the film Jaws, in a small bar in Spain.
''Tuesdays were practice round days, pretty boring, so me and this South African guy I used to travel with went and had a drink,'' Newton recounts. ''A guy came over and said, 'I heard you talking, you've got an Australian accent'. He introduced himself as Robert and we had a few more drinks.
''I said, 'What do you do?'. He said he was an actor staying at Orson Welles's villa and writing some short stories. I asked him what sort of acting, and he said stage and film. I asked which movies and he said, 'Jaws, [The Taking of] Pelham One Two Three. It was Robert Shaw!
''We talked about all those really important issues such as who was the best sort in Hollywood.'' More belly laughs.
The pair became friends. ''In those days, there were none of those,'' says Newton, nodding in the direction of the snoozing laptop at the other end of the table, ''so everywhere I went [to compete] he'd send me a telegram and wish me luck.
''The poor bastard died when he was 52.''
Newton believes the 1970s was the best era to be a professional golfer. Strict fitness regimens, intense media scrutiny and large entourages didn't begin to make an impact until the '80s. ''We had more fun. It's all about the money now. The numbers are now greater, the depth is greater, but the great players of my era, with the equipment they've got now, those blokes would murder 'em. I'm talking about Nicklaus, Player, Trevino, Seve.
''In '72 I had eight top 10 finishes and won two tournaments – all for £19,000. These blokes today wouldn't get out of bed for that.''
''I've heard some amazing stories [about the '70s],'' offers Ogle. ''Back in the days of Bob Shearer and Ian Stanley the winner's cheque would go on the bar on a Sunday night and they'd drink through to Monday.
''Things started to change in the mid-'80s. Greg Norman really changed it up, hitting the gym, and fitness programs and trainers came in. Everyone was looking for an edge.''
But it wasn't all boozy post-tournament celebrations. While sport psychology was in its infancy, Newton admits to hiding in the toilet and reading The Power of Positive Thinking and Maxwell Maltz's influential Psycho-Cybernetics, which included techniques to develop a positive inner goal as a means of developing a positive outer goal. ''If anyone had seen me reading, they would have thought I was a lunatic.''
It was all about finding that edge.
NEWTON has always been a tough bugger.
''His parents were doers,'' says Kristie Newton, ''and they held down all these different jobs to pay for him to be at two different [golf] clubs.
''You can see that the way he was raised affected how he dealt with his injuries.''
Kristie remembers the night of the accident, though she hasn't told many people. The 35-year-old recalls waking up during the night and going in to see her mother, only to find family friends in her parents' bed.
''I freaked out,'' she recalls. ''They didn't tell me there'd been an accident, they just said that mum had to go to Sydney to be with dad. I can remember flashes – visiting mum at the hospital quarters where she was staying to be near dad, and waiting around a lot and forever doing crayon drawings. We were too young to have bad memories.''
Jackie, 65, had been stitching a pair of Newton's pants in readiness for a tournament in Japan the following week when friends knocked on the front door. ''They told me there'd been an accident. I rang the hospital and they said to get down there. They couldn't tell me if he'd survive or not.''
Newton was in intensive care for eight weeks. A large part of his bowel had to be removed and he lost half his liver.
''I took the kids to Coogee one day and told them what happened,'' Jackie recalls through tears. ''Kristie looked at me and said, 'Can daddy still cuddle me?' I said, 'Daddy can cuddle you with one arm'.''
Once Newton was eventually discharged from hospital – he had two more operations in the first 12 months – the family moved in with his parents at Carlingford so he could travel to the Mount Wilga Rehabilitation Hospital near Hornsby. It was a challenging period. Newton, who had been so powerful and fearless on the golf course, had to learn to use his left hand to hold a pen, to tie his laces, to ''wipe my bum'', as well as having to adjust to having one eye. ''If the accident didn't sharpen me up, that did,'' he says. ''I was so right handed, it was a joke. A few pens whistled around the room with frustration.''
He and his packed lunch would get picked up in a mini bus filled with other outpatients.
Newton worked hard with the ''physical terrorists'' and was determined to reclaim his independence. There was no room for self-pity or defeat.
''I saw young kids aged 14, 15, who had all sorts of things wrong with them. There was a bloke who'd been blown up in the Vietnam War and I remember distinctly he took one step in Mount Wilga and the roof nearly came off because everyone was happy because this bloke had taken one step.
''That put things in perspective for me. I thought, shit, I'm not that badly off really. To play golf you psychologically have to be pretty tough. You're on your own and it's such a difficult game. I think that helped me as far as my mental strength went and I've always maintained that people who have these sorts of things happen to them, the worst thing is pity because that will drive you to sit in the corner for the rest of your life.
''All I needed was the support of friends and family.''
EVERYONE adores Jackie Newton. She is the rangy, attractive, former British model who smooths out Newton's rough edges. Where Newton is pugnacious and stubborn, Jackie is warm and diplomatic. They are chalk and cheese, but very tight-knit. They met in England at a 1972 tournament and have been married 39 years. They relish being grandparents to Kristie's three-year-old daughter Matilda with husband and former Hawthorn player Ben Dixon, and are looking forward to welcoming the couple's second child in November. Clint will become a first-time father in October.
''I see them as Bonny and Clyde, as Sonny and Cher,'' jokes Clint Newton, 32. ''They're meant to be together. I've never shied away from the fact that I was extremely lucky to have two loving and supportive parents. Like every family, we've had the odd argument, but we'd always make up.''
''Everyone tells me how lucky I am,'' says Newton, ''but as I keep reminding her, I dragged her out of the gutters of London and brought her to treasure island, which she hates to hear,'' he cackles.
''If you hadn't run into me, you'd be in the gutters of London,'' Jackie fires back.
Their desks are side by side in the home office and both work tirelessly for the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation, which was established in 1986 and funded largely from the proceeds of the annual Jack Newton Celebrity Classic. Newton has raised more than $3million for junior golf, as well as diabetes research and awareness campaigns (Newton was diagnosed with the disease in the early '90s and his father died from diabetes-related complications).
''I don't care what level kids play at, if you're in that [sporting] environment, I think your chances of ducking all the problems out there are far greater than if you are not playing something,'' says Newton.
He is insistent that sportspeople give back to the community. ''He's given it to me right between the eyes before and I respect that,'' says Brett Ogle. ''I don't like it, but he's probably right. He's done it when he's thought I've been dodging something I should have doing such as putting more back into golf. He doesn't see it as just about signing cheques.''
After three decades, Newton still endures frequent pain. The non-existent fingers attached to his phantom right arm regularly cramp. At other times, his fist will clench and pain ''as bad as the worst tooth ache you can ever imagine'' will shoot down his arm. Keeping busy provides a welcome distraction from the discomfort, and Newton isn't one to sit around doing nothing.
''I've never heard him complain about the accident; he's just always been so positive,'' says longtime friend and former Belmont Golf Club pro Paul Robertson. ''His zest for life is probably what helped him pull through. He likes participating. A lesser person could have turned into a loner and just dropped out, but he's come through and is someone to admire.''
As well as his charity work, Newton has also carved out roles as a golf course designer and respected commentator – mainly with Channel 7 – though it seems ''they have pensioned me off''.
He still lives and breathes the sport, having taught himself to play with his left hand and a right-handed stance. He is due to tee off at Newcastle Golf Club today and is eager to finish the interview on time. He's ''on a hot streak at the moment'', though Jackie says he still comes home and says he's going to give it away. ''I've heard that so many times,'' she laughs.
''He loves the game and he loves to win,'' says Robertson, 67. ''He's got a couple of handicaps – the handicap he's on, and the handicap he can play, which are two different things.
''My handicap is about 12 and I reckon he should be on the same one, but sometimes it's more than me so I've got to give him some start. He always seems to win.''
Ogle, who fronts The Golf Show on Fox Sports, recorded a special with Newton three months ago. They played at Cessnock's Stonebridge Golf Course, which Newton designed.
''At the third hole he chipped in from about 50 yards out, left handed, up on to the green like the Jack of old. It was just awesome,'' Ogle laughs.
''I gave his stump a high five it was so good. I thought, you've still got it you old bugger. And then he says to me,rubbing it in, 'Get that up ya Bogle'.''

Snowden not interrogated by Russians: Assange
Julian AssangeUnited States intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden has not been interrogated by the Russian security services, according to WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who is hopeful there will be a wider "rollout" of revelations about the global nature of US internet and telecommunications surveillance.
In an interview with Fairfax Media, Mr Assange has confirmed that WikiLeaks personnel have continuously accompanied Mr Snowden since he left Hong Kong for Moscow on June 23, and that he has not been interviewed by Russian intelligence.
"Since Hong Kong we have had someone physically by his side the entire time," Mr Assange said. "We have had someone with him for 54 days."
Numerous US and other media reports have speculated that Mr Snowden has fallen into the hands of the Russian state security services, specifically the Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB.
However Mr Assange said WikiLeaks has been "watching the situation closely and the Russian authorities have behaved well".
"My interpretation is that this is a political and diplomatic matter that long ago rose above being just an intelligence matter," he said.
Specifically asked whether Mr Snowden had been interviewed by the FSB or any other Russian intelligence agency, Mr Assange replied "No, he has not".
The US government has condemned Mr Snowden's disclosure of top-secret National Security Agency surveillance programs and called for him to be returned to the US to face prosecution. On August 1, Mr Snowden was granted temporary asylum in Russia for one year. In response US President Barack Obama cancelled a planned summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Assange said that "bellicose threats" from Washington over Mr Snowden's case had scored a "diplomatic own goal" in the United States' relations with Russia and other countries, especially in Latin America after Bolivian president Evo Morales' plane was forced to divert from a return flight from Moscow after US authorities wrongly alleged Mr Snowden had been smuggled aboard.
Asked why WikiLeaks had been the only organisation to intervene directly to support Mr Snowden, facilitating his travel from Hong Kong to Russia and organising a legal defence fund, Mr Assange said it was a matter of "having the skills set and international network to do it" as well as a case of "practising what you preach".
He said media organisations had an obligation wherever possible to protect sources by maintaining confidentiality or, when a source disclosed themselves, by offering other practical assistance.
"There is a moral obligation, and in order to maximise the amount of important information coming to the public you have to make the source feel comfortable with that. That's one of the reasons for our involvement in the Snowden matter."
Mr Assange said WikiLeaks' assessment of the legal situation in Hong Kong had been that sooner or later the Hong Kong government would have moved to process a US extradition request, and that Mr Snowden would have most likely been denied bail and imprisoned while the matter was decided.
In contrast, Mr Assange said it had always appeared he would be "safe from extradition from Russia".
Asked about The Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald's statements that as far as he is aware only he and documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras have access to the full archive of classified intelligence documents leaked by Mr Snowden, Mr Assange said he would not comment on a question relating to the sourcing of a publication or possible publication.
However he did suggest that a wider disclosure of Mr Snowden's material may yet take place beyond the "heavy US and European focus" of reporting by The Guardian, The Washington Post and Der Spiegel newspapers.
"Hopefully one day, not too far in the future, we will see a WikiLeaks file rollout to media organisations," Mr Assange said. "That is the way I would do it, like Cablegate [WikiLeaks' release of US diplomatic cables in late 2012] that had an important effect on every country."
"I would like to see the organisations involved learn from our successes and see a global rollout like Cablegate.
"Everything else being equal, material should be published as soon as possible … otherwise governments or agencies start to cover up, [and] work out how to prepare their spin."
In a statement released on Thursday Mr Snowden said he wanted to set the record straight after lawyers associated with his father, Lon Snowden, had "misled" journalists into "printing false claims about my situation".
In an emailed statement to The Huffington Post news website, Mr Snowden said that neither his father, his father's lawyer Bruce Fein, nor Fein's wife and spokeswoman Mattie Fein "represent me in any way" and "do not possess any special knowledge regarding my situation or future plans".
Ms Fein had told The Wall Street Journal that Lon Snowden's legal team didn't trust Mr Greenwald or WikiLeaks.
Mr Snowden responded to "correct the record", saying that "I've been fortunate to have legal advice from an international team of some of the finest lawyers in the world, and to work with journalists whose integrity and courage are beyond question. There is no conflict amongst myself and any of the individuals or organisations with whom I have been involved."
What to drink … McLaren Vale Wines

Paxton Shiraz Rose 2013 $19
If McLaren Vale producers couldn't make decent rose from shiraz, something would be awry. And that's certainly not the case with the Paxton shiraz rose, sourced from a biodynamically grown single vineyard; it has a spicy nose that follows through on the palate. I generally prefer super dry styles of rose, but the sweetness on the palate of this juicy, full-bodied wine is balanced by acidity and fleshier texture. It means this rose can handle food with a bit more heat, such as beef with black bean sauce and chillies. Available from paxtonvineyards南京夜网.
Oliver's Taranga Vineyards Vermentino 2013 $24
McLaren Vale is famous for its full-bodied luscious shiraz, but it's also perfect for more alternative varieties. Oliver's Taranga vineyards have been leading the way with selections of those from sagrantino and tempranillo to fiano and vermentino. It is spurred on by winemaker Corrina Wright's love of these wines. The 2013 whites have just been released and, as this vermentino reveals, they are super fresh and vibrant. Tasting this, I'm craving summer and a bowl of salty fried shrimp. And an ocean view. Try oliverstaranga南京夜网.
S.C Pannell Grenache 2011 $55
Each year I look forward to what Stephen Pannell does with grenache, whether in blends or this varietal sourced from 69-year-old vines, and that's because he makes some of the most profound yet energetic examples. The cooler and demanding 2011 vintage has resulted in a wine that's just shy of full-bodied with more red fruits – the wine is, as always, a savoury nuanced grenache. Neatly balanced with refreshing acidity, sandy yet ripe tannins – all that's needed is paella studded with lots of spicy chorizo and mussels. From Prince Wine Store.
Toby Bekkers Syrah 2011 $110
Toby Bekkers is a specialist in organic and biodynamic practices who has established a label of the same name with his French-born wife and winemaker, Emmanuelle. The 2011 syrah is the inaugural wine and most definitely in the splurge category. But it is also superb with great definition and will age at least 12 years. It reveals a surprisingly subtle yet fragrant nose, plus a savoury more meaty character; it's the palate that's so good. Full-bodied but not heavy, and the oak adds to the wine's mouth-feel.

Regardless of the industry, consumer data privacy is a top concern for businesses and customers alike.
Lawsuits continue to rise due to regulatory compliance violations. Some of the most prestigious brands in America have been impacted by multi-million-dollar Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lawsuits, with 4,392 lawsuits filed in 2017 alone.
While implementing compliance measures can often feel like an operational burden, contact centers can reap the benefits from better data intelligence across the enterprise. From higher customer satisfaction to more frictionless, personalized service to greater operational efficiency, the opportunities are endless.
For example, do your agents know if they are contacting the right person? Do they know the best times to call customers? Do they know the best phone numbers to use? Can your agents connect an inbound phone call immediately to the CRM record? Are your agents tasked with manual identification checks, or can your IVR handle verification? The resources in this toolkit will provide your organization with a better handle on consumer identification management so you can improve performance, increase profits, and fine-tune the customer experience.

the data is correct and i tried the same query with the same value and it worked why posgres is generating this exception and how can i fixed , thanks to any help

A: I think modifying queries must be annotared with an extra
@Modifying

A: This should solve your issue:
@Transactional
@Modifying(clearAutomatically = true)
@Query(value="update policy.tbl_policy set ac_status = 'INACTIVE' where pol_id = :policyId and version_no = :version_no and ac_status = 'ACTIVE'", nativeQuery=true)
public void updateExistingRowbyId(@Param("policyId") Long pol_id, @Param("version_no") Long version_no);

Without @Transactional annotation, following errors may occur:
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: Executing an update/delete query

Champions League - Qualification: Zeljeznicar Vs Plzen - Betting Tip
FK Zeljeznicar (Bih) Vs FC Viktoria Plzen (Cze) – This is certainly one of the most interesting rematches of the second pre-qualifying round of the Champions League, as the first match between Plzen and Zeljeznicar ended with somewhat surprising result as the Czech champion won with a minimal goal difference of 4:3. Begins: 23.07.2013 – 21:00 CET
It is a fact that champions of Bosnia and Herzegovina are much more satisfied with such outcome, especially as they scored even three goals in the away game. Now, they will try to surprise the favoured opponent and playing at their home pitch and being solidly confident will seek to achieve a minimal victory, which if materialise would mean a placement ...

Honda keen to speed up Milan move
Keisuke Honda is to enter further talks with CSKA Moscow with a view to sealing a move to Milan, the midfielder's agent has revealed.
The Japan international has been a long-term target of the Serie A club, and has reportedly already agreed to sign for Massimiliano Allegri's side on a free transfer when his contract with CSKA expires in January.
However, Milan are eager to secure Honda's services in this transfer window, and his brother and representative Hiroyuki Honda confirmed the player is now waiting for CSKA to finalise the deal.
"We'll meet with CSKA again today for more talks," he told TuttoMercatoWeb.
New signings have lifted Everton, Osman says
Everton stalwart Leon Osman believes the club's new signings have inspired the squad ahead of the new season.
The 32-year-old midfielder has spent his entire career at Goodison Park and, after helping his side finish sixth in the Premier League last season, hopes the new additions will improve their performance in 2013-14.
New manager Roberto Martinez has already recruited four players, with his former Wigan charges Joel Robles, Antolin Alcaraz and Arouna Kone being joined by 19-year-old Barcelona attacker Gerard Deulofeu, who agreed a season-long loan deal.
"We've brought four new signings in already and it's b ... Read more »
Arsenal hit by Monreal blow
Spanish left-back Nacho Monreal has been added to Arsenal's lengthy injury list after hurting his back while on holiday.
Monreal was given an extended break after playing a part in Spain's Confederations Cup campaign, which meant the 27-year-old defender was not taken on Arsenal's tour of Japan.
But during that time off, Monreal has injured his back and although Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger does not know what caused the injury, he believes the former Malaga man will miss the start of the English Premier League season.
Monreal's injury means Wenger may only have one left-back option for Arsenal's league opener against Aston Villa - Kieran Gibbs.
"Honestly I don't really know," Wenger said ... Read more »
Moyes: United fear factor keeps me focused
David Moyes admits that a fear of failing to maintain the success enjoyed under Alex Ferguson is motivating him at Manchester United.
Succeeding Ferguson, who won 38 trophies during his 26 years in charge at United, is arguably the toughest job in world football, meaning the pressure on Moyes to succeed is high and brings with it a level of scrutiny that he has yet to experience.
The former Everton manager is well aware of the size of the challenge ahead, but is keen to meet it head on.
"There's not one person who would turn around and say: 'Taking over Manchester United, you think you can walk in there and breeze in and think you can do it easily'," he said.
"Of course not. There has to be an e ... Read more »
Barcelona appoint Martino
Barcelona have confirmed the appointment of Gerardo Martino as their new manager.
The 50-year-old takes over from Tito Vilanova, who stepped down on Friday to continue his treatment for throat cancer.
Martino, who guided Newell's Old Boys to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores before parting company with the Argentinian side earlier this month, has agreed a two-year contract.
The former Paraguay national team manager's availability moved him ahead of reported candidates Luis Enrique and Ernesto Valverde, who recently signed with Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao respectively.
Martino, who was voted as Newell's best ever player in 2010, walked away from his role with the Rosario club on July 10 following th ... Read more »

How startups save buckets of money on early software development
Home Page NOW YOU KNOW
How To Adult
Techly Explains
Techly Talks
Behind the Page
By Chaplin
We'll get to the answer shortly, but first a lesser known platitude:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a broke-ass engineer in possession of a good garage, must be in want of VC funding."
(With apologies to Ms Austen.)
So how do they do it?
How does one person (or a small crew) with little more than a half-baked idea, a garage, the unbridled idealism of youth and zero budget end up creating a billion-dollar company (aka Unicorn) seemingly overnight?
Here's how it's done.
Everyone knows that the first act in this tale is to establish a 'VGM': Viable Garage Mythology (Not to be confused with MVP, which belongs in the first act too).
Also, we all know that our intrepid young entrepreneurs must swap their own rather large bucket, brimming with blood, sweat & tears, with said bucket of Venture Capital money before the end of the third act.
But what else is needed? What happens in the second act when money is tight?
Modularity and DRY. That's what happens.
"Que?"
Yup. Unlike a good novel, our second act is boring as batshit. Nothing but hard yards, an endless diet of $5 supermarket pizzas and late nights in front of the command line wrestling with Git (Not even any beer because we can't afford that… yet!).
"The money, tell me about saving the buckets of money, dang it!"
Moving along, we have to segue with a short modularity lesson. More specifically, how modularity applies to software.
Essentially, all products and services become cheaper and more plentiful when all the processes involved in production become modularised.
Think the cliché example of Henry Ford's Production Line, or the invention of the printing press, or the sewing machine. The examples are endless. The entire Industrial Revolution was just a century-long binge-fest on modularisation.
Vive la (modular) révolution.
The Revolution has become Digital and the modularisation binge-fest has dialled it up to 11.
Case in point, if you just arrived at this article from Facebook or Google, then us lowly content creators have been modularised by the Internet to the extent that our work is virtually free (and no, those aren't tears, my eyes are just itchy that's all).
Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)
Lesson 101 and the mantra of all good software development is 'Don't repeat yourself'. Don't re-invent the wheel, don't write the same lines of code over and over again when once is enough.
So, keeping this story short (kinda!), the net result of 50 years of DRY is the buckets and buckets of 100% TOTALLY FREE (as in beer) modular software just hanging low (as in fruit) all over the Internet. It's called Open Source Software.
And the Answer to the $64,000 question is…
All those cool garage kids dreaming of riding Unicorns someday are not writing much software from scratch at all. They are just assembling free open-source modularised software into awesome new apps (admittedly, they are assembling very skillfully and usually the idea has legs).
Almost all early startup work is the assembly of existing applications and software libraries into cool new ideas.
Assembly saves buckets and buckets of time. It is the quickest way to create a Minimum Viable Product and, as everyone knows, time is money.
That's how it's done, folks. Put zero money down for billions of lines of 'ready-to-go' software, save tens of thousands of man-hours by assembling modular software instead of re-inventing the wheel.
Save lots of time, save lots of money
The quickest and easiest way to get hold of all that cheap, modular, low-hanging software fruit is to head on over to Github and start assembling like a Lego champion competing at the local mall.
Why Github? Because nothing makes software assembly easier than Github. There are 67 million software projects hosted on Github, most of it freely available as open source. Here's our Github explainer for noobs to help you get leet.
Even the founders of this publication chose open-source WordPress a decade ago during their 'garage days' to launch Lost At E Minor and The Roar.
We are still on WordPress today, because ain't nobody got time for coding their own software, right!?
However, we do sometimes get free beers on Friday arvos. Sweeeeet, good times.

AHMEDABAD: Following reports that work for 'Statue of Unity' - the memorial to Sardar Patel that would be the tallest statue in the world when completed - had been subcontracted to a foundry in China, the contractors for the project, Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T), on Wednesday, clarified that the statue is being built in India and the company is sourcing only bronze plates from China.
"The entire statue itself is being built in India at the site and only the bronze cladding in the form of bronze plates is being sourced from China, which constitutes a negligible amount of less than 9% of the total value of project," L&T said in an official statement.
The statue, a pet project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will be installed on Sadhu Bet near Sardar Sarovar dam and has been given the status of 'National Project'.
According to L&T, the plates are put together and erected on the core of reinforced concrete and structural steel at the Sadhu Hill site after assembly and welding. Thus, the notion of the statue in its entirety being shipped from China is a total misunderstanding, the company said. L&T was awarded the Statue of Unity project by the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta Trust (SVPRET).


Finally the email we'd all been waiting for arrived yesterday, the results of session selection for the 2014 PASS Summit. Good news for me, one session of mine was accepted, so I'll be presenting "Turbocharge Your Career With A Learning Plan" this year. It's a good topic and one I'm excited about. I've been presenting an early version of it already this year and will be doing more changes and practice before November. Below I've included the email so you could see the titles I submitted and the results. I didn't expect to get two sessions (and I'm opposed to anyone getting two, so that we have max community involvement) but I'll admit to hoping I'd also get a lightning talk.
The thing I know is that picking sessions is subjective. You can score them all you want, but in the end you do some juggling to get a diverse (people, topics, levels) yet balanced (people, topics,levels) schedule. It should be subjective,to a point. Use a system to get close, then a committee to fine tune.
Human nature – including me – is to ask "why didn't I get picked"? It might be that the abstract had a typo, a title that was too cute or too blah, was too short or too long. Maybe it scored equally with someone with a track record of presenting the same topic, or with perceived better speaking experience. Maybe there are 18 people wanting to talk about indexes and we don't need 18 index presentations. Giving personalized feedback on that in an official way is hard – there is enough work to do just evaluating them and picking the final schedule. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's more work with more complexities because now you're telling people why they aren't good enough, and being human, we're probably going to disagree with the assessment!
Rather than feedback, I'd like to see PASS and the Program Committee do more to educate speakers up front. Do an updated webinar every year that reviews the process, talks about common mistakes and misconceptions, how to find and use peer reviews to increase your chance of being selected, and how to lay the ground work for being perceived as being ready for a national stage. I think that would dispel a lot of frustration. For example I had two sessions rejected as being repeats from a previous year. I didn't know the focus was on new content (maybe I missed that) or I would have submitted something a bit different.
If you didn't get selected, I feel your pain. Take a look at the final schedule, read the abstracts, try to be dispassionate while you consider if they had something that your submission didn't. Reach out to a peer, or find someone that has spoken at the Summit and ask for their feedback. If you think there are changes you could make, go make them now so you're ready for next year. If you don't see changes and think it was just luck of the draw, start thinking about what you can do in the next year to increase your chances. Maybe you can present on the topic more often, maybe you can build a second or third presentation, maybe you can work on extending your network. There will be something you can do to increase your odds next time around.
I've been a proponent for years of forced rotation of speakers, something along the lines of making them sit out every third year (or something like that) to make sure we get new voices on the schedule. I sat out a year deliberately a couple years back and it was hard at first, but then it was pleasant. I had the freedom to just be an attendee, no practicing, no pressure. I remind myself that I'll have that freedom again this year!
Both Brent Ozar and Adam Machanic have stepped up to fill the gap about "how", Adam writing Capturing Attention: Writing Great Session Descriptions and Brent with Writing Better Conference Abstracts and Presentations. Great material, worth reading. I still wish for an "official" presentation from PASS (which isn't to say we shouldn't talk Brent and Adam) into doing it, I think it would be a great next step in evolving the biggest event in our community. Writing is good, reading is good, but I think this cries out for at least one video presentation.
Thanks to the Program Committee for all their effort, I know it's a slog! Thanks also to all who submitted a presentation, selected or not.
As we move back into "Summit mode", if you're attending, I hope you'll join me, Steve Jones, and a couple hundred or more really interesting people at our fifth annual Monday Night Networking Dinner. It's a nice low key way to start the week.
Congrats on your acceptance. I too got an email from PASS, but it was exactly the opposite of yours. I expected my session would not be accepted as this was my first year submitting. Before submitting I read Adam's post on writing a great abstract several times, and even asked him to review it before submitting. Looking at the accepted sessions on the topic: Encryption, I see two amazing speakers were selected, and understand why I was not.
There is always next year, congrats again.
Thanks Jason. That seems like a solid try for the first time out and now you can really focus on what will get you to the top next year. Take a look at how you might explore a niche not being covered is one way, and a good way!

Who Will Die First: Putin Or Pope?
Putin or the Pope?
Putin 'will be dead by October': Only Russian politician to vote against Ukraine war says Vladimir will be killed before his birthday due to growing concern over failed invasion
Vladimir Putin will be killed by Kremlin insiders by October, an exiled opposition politician has claimed. Ilya Ponomarev, the only member of Russian parliament to vote against the annexation of Crimea in 2014, believes waning support and fear over a potential war crimes trial could mean the despot is murdered this year by his inner circle. The politician was a member of the State Duma from 2007 to 2016 but now lives in Ukraine, where he is leading a new movement that he hopes will transform Russia into a modern democracy. He told Newsweek: 'Putin's power resides in his position as an alpha male, as the person who is invincible. 2022 was the year when this position started to wane. My forecast still remains that he will not see his next birthday. 'My personal dream obviously is to see him in The Hague but I don't think that he will make it. 'Those around him will not allow him to go to the Hague, because his testimony may actually be very harmful for them. He will be killed.' Russia has been accused of 'systemic' war crimes in Ukraine by US ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice Beth Van Schaack. Targeted attacks on civilians, the use of rape as a weapon of war, the abduction of children and summary executions could all constitute war crimes. Moscow's actions could be classified as 'crimes against humanity' which could be tried in the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Despite calls for the court to act and the mountain of evidence against Putin, there are still no indications the ICC is set to charge the war-mongering tyrant. Prosecutor Karim Khan has been on the ground in Ukraine collecting enough evidence to ensure proof the crimes have been committed, the ICC said. Source
FSSP FORMING THEIR OWN CHURCH
"Evil books will be abundant on earth and the spirits of darkness will spread everywhere a universal slackening of all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over Nature: there will be churches built to serve these spirits. People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests, for they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel which is a spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. On occasions, the dead and the righteous will be brought back to life. (That is to say that these dead will take on the form of righteous souls which had lived on earth, in order to lead men further astray; these so-called resurrected dead, who will be nothing but the devil in this form, will preach another Gospel contrary to that of the true Christ Jesus, denying the existence of Heaven; that is also to say, the souls of the damned.

"The great chastisement will come, because men will not be converted; yet it is only their conversion that can hinder these scourges. God will begin to strike men by inflicting lighter punishments in order to open their eyes; then He will stop, or may repeat His former warnings to give place for repentance. But sinners will not avail themselves of these opportunities; He will, in consequence, send more severe castigations, anxious to move sinners to repentance, but all in vain. Finally, the obduracy of sinners shall draw upon their heads the greatest and most terrible calamities. Mélanie
"We are all guilty! Penance is not done, and sin increases daily. Those who should come forward to do good are retained by fear. Evil is great. A moderate punishment serves only to irritate the spirits, because they view all things with human eyes. God could work a miracle to convert and change the aspect of the earth without chastisement. God will work a miracle; it will be a stroke of His mercy; but after the wicked shall have inebriated themselves with blood, the scourge shall arrive Mélanie
"What countries shall be preserved from such calamities? Where shall we go for refuge? I, in my turn, shall ask, What is the country that observes the commandments of God? What country is not influenced by human fear where the interest of the Church and the glory of God are at stake? (Ah, indeed! What country, what nation upon earth?) In behalf of my Superior and myself, I have often asked myself where we could go for refuge, had we the means for the journey and for our subsistence, on condition that no person were to know it? But I renounce these useless thoughts. We are very guilty! In consequence of this, it is necessary that a very great and terrible scourge should come to revive our faith, and to restore to us our very reason, which we have almost entirely lost. Mélanie

Wichita and Sedgwick County make up Districts 19 and 20. A district is a geographic area having several Al-Anon meetings. The Wichita Al-Anon groups are divided into Districts 19 and 20. Main Street is the dividing line; groups west of Main are in District 19 and groups east of Main are in District 20. In addition, Andale, Clearwater, Cheney, Colwich, Garden Plaine, Goddard, Haysville, Maize, Sedgwick, and Valley Center are part of District 19. Derby, Kechi, McConnell AFB, Mulvane, and Park City are part of District 20.
Both Districts 19 and 20 have a District Representative who chairs the district meetings and represents the districts at area World Service Organization (WSO) Committee meetings twice a year in Salina, KS. They serve to provide information from the Area and from the WSO to the groups.
Currently Districts 19 and 20 are meeting together for district meetings.
The districts meets once a quarter. The group representative from each group is expected to attend. However, any Al-Anon member may come; we encourage as many as possible to attend to know what is going on in the district.
In addition to the district meetings, Group Representatives are expected to attend Kansas Area Assemblies.


You have to admit, we're a full-service shop.
First, we showed you how to use PHP to develop cutting-edge Web applications. Then we showed you how to impress your boss with your XML and XSLT prowess. And finally, we gave you the skinny on combining the two to capture the best of both worlds, and a hefty paycheck to boot.
In case you were thinking that's all she sang, think again. What you've learned thus far is just the tip of the iceberg. PHP's increasing support for XML-based technologies makes new and different types of applications possible - as this article will demonstrate, by combining PHP with XSLT to perform server-side transformations of XML data. Keep reading.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of XSLT processing with PHP, I'd like to take some time to explain how all the pieces fit together.
Once a file has been created, it needs to be converted, or "transformed", from pure data into something a little more readable. XSLT, the Extensible Style Language (Transformations), is typically used for such transformations; it's a powerful language that allows you to generate different output from the same XML data source. For example, you could use different XSL transformations to create an HTML Web page, a WML deck, and an ASCII text file...all from the same source XML.
There's only one problem here: most browsers don't come with an XML parser or an XSL processor. The latest versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape Gecko do support XML, but older versions don't, and none of them have an XSL processor. And this brings up an obvious problem: how do you use an XML data source to generate HTML for these older browsers?
The solution is to insert an additional layer between the client and the server, which takes care of processing the XML with XSLT and returning the rendered output to the browser. And that's where PHP comes in - PHP4 supports XML parsing, through its DOM and XML extensions, and includes an XSL processor, through its Sablotron extension.
Sablotron, you say. Sounds scary. What's that?
Sablotron is, according to its creators, "...a fast, compact and portable XML toolkit implementing XSLT, DOM and XPath". Developed by Ginger Alliance (http://www.gingerall.com), the Sablotron engine is a powerful, standards-compliant XSLT processor, with support for most common XSLT constructs.
Over the course of this article, I'll be demonstrating how you can use PHP's Sablotron extension to perform XSLT transformations of XML data on the server. I'll be assuming you know the basics of PHP, XML, XSLT and XPath; if you don't, you should take a look at the links at the end of the article before proceeding further.
First, I've used the file() function to read the contents of the XML document and XSLT stylesheet into an array, and then used PHP's very cool join() function to combine all the elements of the array (which correspond to lines from the file) into a single string. Each string is then stored as a variable.
You're probably wondering why I bothered. Well, the xslt_process() function, which happens to be PHP's primary workhorse for this sort of thing, accepts three parameters: an XML data string, an XSLT data string, and a variable to hold the results of the transformation.
Once the processing is complete, and $result contains the output, all that's left is to print it.
This is a slightly more structured approach. After defining the filenames for the XML and XSLT content, I've used the xslt_create() function to create a new instance of the XSLT processor and return a handle to it.
This handle is used in all subsequent XSLT operations.
Next, I've used the xslt_run() function to read and process the XML and XSLT files, and store the results of the processing in the default result buffer.
Once the processing is complete and the output dumped into the default result buffer, I've used the xslt_fetch_result() function to fetch the contents of the buffer and print it to the browser.
Finally, it's a good idea to clean things up by destroying the handle created during this process, so as to not occupy valuable memory.
The xslt_free() function frees up the memory occupied by the XSLT processor.
Using xslt_run() is often preferable to using xslt_process(), since the xslt_run() function is happy to accept file references to the XML and XSLT data as arguments (as opposed to xslt_process(), which only accepts string variables). Using xslt_run() can, therefore, often save you a few lines of code when performing server-side transformation with PHP.
What you've just seen is a generic way to process XML data with PHP. It isn't the only one, though; for larger, more complex files, PHP offers yet another method of applying an XSLT stylesheet to your XML.
A stylishly spectacular extravaganza, <title>Moulin Rouge</title> is hard to categorize; it is, at different times, a love story, a costume drama, a musical, and a comedy. Director <person>Baz Luhrmann</person> (well-known for the very hip <title>William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet</title>) has taken some simple themes - love, jealousy and obsession - and done something completely new and different with them by setting them to music.
I'll start by storing the content of the XML file in an array.
Next, I'll store the location of the XSLT file in a variable.
Finally, it's time to call the xslt_output_begintransform() function.
The xslt_output_begintransform() function is a special function which take only one parameter: the location of the XSLT file. Once this function is invoked, the XSLT processor will transform all the content that it encounters as per the rules in the named file until it's told to stop via the function xslt_output_endtransform().
In this case, I've written a simple "for" loop to iterate through the elements of the XML array, printing each element as it finds it. The XSLT processor will transform this output as it is printed, providing the desired result.
This technique comes in particularly handy if you don't have your XML data in a static file, but generate it dynamically - say, from a database, or by combining multiple XML documents into a single file. You can write PHP code to obtain the data and massage it into an XML-compliant format, and then enclose that code in calls to xslt_output_begintransform() and xslt_output_endtransform() to transform it.
Much of the code here has been culled from the previous examples. The difference: this script includes a primitive error-handling mechanism, which checks whether or not the processing was successful, and returns an error code and message if not.
Both the xslt_errno() and xslt_error() functions accept a handle for the XSLT processor, and return the last error code and message generated by the processor. At least that's the theory - in my experiments with PHP 4.0.6, these functions failed to work as advertised.
Now that you've seen the different techniques available to process XSLT stylesheets, here's a simple example which demonstrates a real-life use of this technology - a simple XML to HTML publishing system.
With PHP's XSLT engine, accomplishing all this becomes a snap. All you need are separate stylesheets, each one taking care of a particular type of conversion. Feed these stylesheets to a PHP script which knows how to handle them, and Bob's your uncle.
Granted, it's pretty simple - but isn't that a good thing?
In a similar manner, you could write scripts to convert your XML data into other formats, insert it into a database or exchange it with other servers.
Note: All examples in this article have been tested on Linux/i586 with PHP 4.0.6. Examples are illustrative only, and are not meant for a production environment. YMMV!

Q: Find index of first occurrence in sorted list I have a sorted list that looks like this:
sortedlist = ['0','0','0','1','1,'1,'2',2','3']

I also have a count variable:
count = '1'

*note: sometimes count can be an integar greater that the max value in the list. For example count = '4'
What I want to do is to find the first occurrence of the count in the list and print the index. If the value is greater than the max value in the list, then assign a string. Here is what I have tried:
maxvalue = max(sortedlist)
for i in sortedlist:
    if int(count) < int(sortedlist[int(i)]):
        indexval = i
        break
        OutputFile.write(''+str(indexval)+'\n')
if int(count) > int(maxvalue):
    indexval = "over"
    OutputFile.write(''+str(indexval)+'\n')

I thought the break would end the for loop, but I'm only getting results from the last if statement. Am I doing something incorrectly?

A: Your logic is wrong, you have a so called sorted list of strings which unless you compared as integer would not be sorted correctly, you should use integers from the get-go and bisect_left to find index:
from bisect import bisect_left

sortedlist = sorted(map(int, ['0', '0', '0', '1', '1', '1', '2', '2', '3']))

count = 0

def get_val(lst, cn):
    if lst[-1] < cn:
        return "whatever"
    return bisect_left(lst, cn, hi=len(lst) - 1)

If the value falls between two as per your requirement, you will get the first index of the higher value, if you get an exact match you will get that index:
In [13]: lst = [0,0,2,2]

In [14]: get_val(lst, 1)
Out[14]: 2

In [15]: lst = [0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3]

In [16]: get_val(lst, 2)
Out[16]: 4

In [17]: get_val(lst, 9)
Out[17]: 'whatever'

A: As there are some over-complicated solutions here it's worth posting how straightforwardly this can be done:
def get_index(a, L):
    for i, b in enumerate(L):
        if b >= a:
            return i
    return "over"

get_index('1', ['0','0','2','2','3'])
>>> 2
get_index('1', ['0','0','0','1','2','3'])
>>> 3
get_index('4', ['0','0','0','1','2','3'])
>>> 'over'

But, use bisect.

A: You could use a function (using EAFP principle) to find the first occurrence that is equal to or greater than the count:
In [239]: l = ['0','0','0','1','1','1','2','2','3']

In [240]: def get_index(count, sorted_list):
     ...:     try:
     ...:         return next(x[0] for x in enumerate(l) if int(x[1]) >= int(count))
     ...:     except StopIteration:
     ...:         return "over"
     ...:

In [241]: get_index('3', l)
Out[241]: 8

In [242]: get_index('7', l)
Out[242]: 'over'

A: As your list is already sorted, so the maximum value will be the last element of your list i.e maxval = sortedlist[-1] . secondly there is an error in your for loop. for i in sortedlist: This gives you each element in the list . To get index do a for loop on range len(sortedlist) Here i is the element in the list. You should break after writing to the file. Below is the fixed code:
maxvalue = sortedlist[-1]
if int(count) > int(maxvalue):
    indexval = "over"
    OutputFile.write(''+str(indexval)+'\n')
else:
    for i in xrange(len(sortedlist)):
        if int(count) <= int(sortedlist[int(i)]):
            indexval = i
            OutputFile.write(''+str(indexval)+'\n')
            break

A: Using itertools.dropwhile():
from itertools import dropwhile

sortedlist = [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3]

def getindex(count):
    index = len(sortedlist) - len(list(dropwhile(lambda x: x < count, sortedlist)))
    return "some_string" if index >= len(sortedlist) else index

The test:
print(getindex(5))
> some_string

and:
print(getindex(3))
> 8

Explanation
dropwhile() drops the list until the first occurrence, when item < count returns False. By subrtracting the (number of) items after that from the length of the original list, we have the index.
"an iterator that drops elements from the iterable as long as the predicate is true; afterwards, returns every element."

A: First of all:
for i in range(1, 100):
  if i >= 3:
    break
    destroyTheInterwebz()
  print i

Will never execute that last function. It will onmy peint 1 and 2. Because break immediately leaves the loop; it does not wait for the current iteration to finish.
In my opinion, the code would be nicer if you used a function indexOf and return instead of break.
Last but not least: the data structures here are pretty expensive. You may want to use integers instead of strings, and numpy arrays. You could then use the very fast numpy.searchsorted function.

Hampden Stadium
Mount Florida locals take action to combat 'unacceptable' Hampden Park fan behaviour
Extra security, portaloos and traffic wardens will be in place ahead of the cup final on Sunday after what the community council have called a 'deterioration in the management of football fans' at the last three games.

Mount Florida residents have taken matters into their own hands after a 'deterioration in the management of football fans' at the last three games at Hampden stadium.
At the previous games throughout November, residents told how fans showed 'unacceptable' behaviour, including urinating in public, taking drugs and fighting in the street.
The community council members even constructed a map of all the offences that took place on their streets, while also citing a lack of traffic wardens enforcing parking regulations, leaving the streets littered with cars causing obstruction.
Judith Pollock, chair of Mount Florida Community Council, said, "Residents of Mount Florida recognise that there will be some disruption to normal life when events are held at Hampden Park.
"However, this does not extend to the levels of anti-social behaviour seen this weekend with grown men behaving with utter disrespect and contempt to our community.
"I expect Police Scotland to have sufficient officers available at future games to ensure that the law is upheld and action is taken against those who break it."
Ahead of this weekend's game, the community came together to ask Police Scotland, Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Football Association to express their concerns.
In a win for the community council, police have confirmed that extra measures are going to be in place in the area this weekend, as well as extra security, portaloos around the stadium and parking wardens in attendance.
Police Scotland's Chief Inspector Neil McLeod said the force are "acutely aware" of how such incidents have a "disruptive effect".
Judith Pollock, Chair of the Community Council, said: "I was invited by Police Scotland to join their meeting with Glasgow City Council, the Scottish Football Association and G4S to discuss plans for future events at the National Stadium.
"I was pleased that the validity of residents' concerns was recognised and that Police Scotland and the SFA have committed additional resources to address anti-social behaviour.
"I have also been invited to join a meeting following this weekend's match to discuss the impact these changes have made. I'm hopeful for a good day on Sunday when both fans and residents can enjoy the experience of the cup final."
Chief Inspector Neil McLeod said: "Police Scotland is acutely aware of how incidents of antisocial behaviour, and other criminality, occurring in the vicinity of the National Stadium before, during and after football matches and other events, including concerts has a disruptive effect on the local community.
"Ahead of the cup final on Sunday we have already implemented a community re-assurance action plan and are working with our partners including the Scottish Football Association, the SPFL and G4S.
"We will have additional, and dedicated joint patrols with security personnel, which will be over and above the officers deployed to police the match itself, to tackle the issues raised."
A spokesman for the council said: "The area around Hampden Park is the subject of an event day parking zone, which allows for targeted enforcement of parking issues on match days.
"Over the course of the recent semi-final weekend our parking enforcement team issued a total of 230 fixed penalty notices against vehicles breaching the restrictions set by the parking zone and removed 13 vehicles that were causing an obstruction.
"Our parking enforcement team will be operating in the Hampden event day zone on the day of the cup final.
"Any motorist parking in the zone without a permit is liable to be fined and so drivers are advised to make alternative arrangements in advance so they can get to the game on time.
"If members of the community council or other residents have local knowledge on where parking issues occur in particular, we are happy to look at that information and target our enforcement effort accordingly."

Thursday 4/11/2004The PDA market is a hard furrow to plough, but sometimes you have to wonder whether Palm is deliberately aiming for the rocks. Take the experience of Richard Perlman, who is one of the great and the good of the online world -- creating telco dial-up IP access networks here, being a 10-year member of the Internet Society there -- and can be reasonably assumed to know what he's doing.
The PDA market is a hard furrow to plough, but sometimes you have to wonder whether Palm is deliberately aiming for the rocks. Take the experience of Richard Perlman, who is one of the great and the good of the online world -- creating telco dial-up IP access networks here, being a 10-year member of the Internet Society there -- and can be reasonably assumed to know what he's doing. He is a great Palm fan, being a continual and happy owner of various products since the III, and like many such really appreciates the product's lightness and portability because he spends a lot of time travelling. But he may not be for much longer -- if a sad tale he told to David Farber's Interesting People mailing list is anything to go by.
Enter the T5, the latest, greatest and most tempting of the Palmorama. Perlman, having started to have a few problems with the T1, snaps one up. However, he notices that the power connector is redesigned and the new US power supply/charger is 120 volts only -- and thus won't work in Europe. Is this true, he asks Palm? Doesn't matter, comes the reply. You can charge it through the USB synchronisation cable. Fair enough, he says.
Time passes -- at first, the cable's in stock but the Palm isn't, so they hold the order back -- and finally it arrives. Without the cable. It's gone out of stock in the meantime, and Palm says helpfully "You should have ordered it earlier. It takes 10 to 14 days to arrive." "Can I speak to a manager?" he asks. "There is no manager," he's told. "Corporate phone number?" "We're not allowed to release that."
Some time later, and the cable's back in stock. Palm agrees to ship it overnight. It arrives. It does not charge the T5. "Oh, we used to do one that did that, but we stopped.".
By now, Perlman is entering the realm of the miserable lapin. He asks Palm how he might therefore charge his T5 outside the US. "You have to talk to PalmOne Customer Service, sir". He does. They say "You need the international version of the T5". "Can I have one?" "No. You can't order it from inside the US." "Can I have an international power supply?" "No." "So how can I charge my T5 outside the US?" "You can't."
Well, he can -- but he has to send back his T5, get a refund, buy the same thing from the European Web site for much more money (plus shipping). Can't he just order the power supply from Europe? Perhaps. But you can't do it over the Web site, and the only way to get in contact is to buy a $15 'per call token' in advance. And there things rest.
