Kolkata, Oct 9 (IANS) Repolling was underway on Friday in 11 booths — nine in Bidhannagar and two in the Asansol civic bodies — in West Bengal amid heavy police presence.
Repolling was on in nine booths, spread across four wards of the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation, and two booths of the Asansol Municipal Corporation.
Till 11 a.m., the percentage of polling was 17 percent in Bidhannagar and 22 percent in Asansol, the state election commission said.
The results for both the municipal corporations would be announced on October 10.
The opposition — the Left Front, Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party — have boycotted Friday's repoll, alleging that state election commissioner Alapan Bandyopadhyay was "acting on behalf of the state's ruling Trinamool Congress".
The Left, Congress and the BJP unanimously called for cancelling the polls held on October 3, citing "massive violence and malpractices" by Trinamool.

Snakkle Talks to The Voice Season 2 Winner Jermaine PaulWhen Jermaine Paul auditioned for season two of The Voice, he became instantly known as "Alicia Keys' Back-Up Singer" when trying to differentiate among the many soulful pop and R&B singers on the show. But today the Team Blake member is going by a different title: Winner. Snakkle caught up with Paul to talk about where he wants his career to go now that it is finally really just getting started. By Danielle Turchiano
During Paul's time on The Voice, he got to do almost everything he set out to do musically (one dream cover Paul didn't get to showcase was Prince's "Purple Rain," he said), showing America a little bit more each week just what he wanted to do as a solo artist. He started strong with covers of '80s rock songs like "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Get Outta My Dreams" and went on to tackle smoother sounds, like "Soul Man" and "I Believe I Can Fly." Paul admitted that it was actually the former numbers that were closest to him personally and therefore best in his wheelhouse.
"I came up kind of very strict Pentecostal family, and the only music I could listen to was on lite-FM. So that's where I gained that love for James Taylor, Phil Collins, [and] Journey," he shared with Snakkle.
"I'm a big '80s rock fan. There were serious, serious singers in '80s rock, so I'm a big fan, and I just wanted to do something to pay homage to that."
Needless to say, the album that Paul plans to put out now will have influences from across his professional career. Though he has released music before ("I've done the whole selling-out-of-my-trunk thing," he laughed), Paul is perhaps most excited that his time on The Voice will allow him to have a "machine" behind the music he has been working on for years.
"If you have an ounce of ambition, you're going home and you're writing and you're taking that inspiration that you get every day from watching that performer, and you're writing, and you're building," Paul said, noting that he has been building his own catalog since working as a backup singer with Alicia Keys.
"I've put together my own CDs and sold them at concerts and things like that, but there's something special about a machine behind you," he said adamantly, "something that is second to none when you have a machine pushing you with marketing."
Getting choked up, Paul admitted that winning The Voice meant he could finally achieve all of the things he had been dreaming of for his family for years. Though he never knew week to week if America would keep him around, he felt confident in himself that this was his time, because he was being honest with his sound onstage and singing his heart out.
That's all one can ask for, right? And that's all Paul advises that any artist should do: "Just be yourself. Don't ever give up. Everybody's journey is different. Everybody's path is different. But it's not about the destination; it's about the journey. And throughout all your experiences and everything that you go through, you take a little, and you let go a little…. You let go of the bad, and you hold onto the good, and you'd be surprised where that takes you."
Though that drive and determination took Paul to The Voice, his win proves that this is not the destination for him but just one great stop along his way to stardom.

Tommy Thompson was not going to let a fight with cancer come between him and his passion.
The 67-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident was diagnosed with a very aggressive type of prostate cancer in January 2007. He underwent 42 consecutive sessions of radiation treatment and is back doing what he loves: racing vintage cars.
"You think you're bulletproof and all of a sudden they announce that you have cancer and if you don't do the right things you probably got about 2 years to live," Thompson said. "When I got diagnosed it jerked the rug right out from under me. I just made my mind up I wasn't going to let it beat me and I was going to do everything I could do. Fortunately it worked out."
Thompson started racing at the age of 50 and now owns 12 cars and several motorcycles. It started when his son Ross graduated from Corona del Sol High School. Thompson took Ross and his other son and enrolled all of them in a Bondurant Racing course.
"None of us had been in a race car and the instructor told us we were naturally good," he said.
It remained to be seen just how good they would be.
Ross became an instructor at Bondurant and worked there for several years before turning professional. He has raced professionally for 12 years and competed in such events as NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series.
The older Thompson said the favorite race of his own career was at the 2009 Monterey Historic Automobile Races. He placed second in his group, while driving his 1964 Chevrolet Corvette.
His recent success has been made possible by his desire to overcome his bout with cancer.
"During the treatments, I continued to work out and I began to race immediately when I was done," he said. "I only missed four or five months."
Thompson will join the like of Dario Franchitti, Danica Patrick, and other professional racers at the forth annual Wheels of Wellness event to benefit The Wellness Community, an organization dedicated to helping people and their families who have been affected by cancer.
Executive Director Paula Hardison of The Wellness Community described her organization as "the gold standard for psychosocial support," which offers support programs for cancer patients and survivors and their family and friends.
"It impacts everyone in your life," Hardison said. "Cancer is life and death. (The Wellness Community) is about hope and finding resilience through the resources we offer."
The nonprofit organization offers educational sessions with cancer specialists, specific emotional support for different age groups and nutritional classes.
"We provide education so the cancer survivor can find tools that compliment traditional medical care," Hardison said. "Cancer is an obstacle on the road of life and we help you navigate the journey."
Thompson is a charter member for Wheels of Wellness and will attend the event on Jan. 16 to celebrate his third year being cancer free.
"Once you have cancer, its hard to accept being told you are cancer-free because you're always thinking there could be something in there," he said. "But I live each day like it is my last."
To find out more about Wheels of Wellness or to purchase tickets for the event, visit the website, www.WheelsofWellness.org, or call (602) 712-1006.

According to former Secretary-General Kofi Annan, "Each of us holds a piece of the migration puzzle, but none has the whole picture. It is time to start putting it together". To initiate this process, the General Assembly convened the High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development in September 2006. During the High-level Dialogue, Member States agreed to organize an informal, voluntary and state-led Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) to discuss ways to maximize the benefits of migration on development while minimizing its difficulties and negative effects. Now in its fourth year, the GFMD will take place in Mexico in 2010, carrying the torch from Belgium, the Philippines and Greece.
The half-day briefing explores the following topics:
- Agenda of the GFMD IV;
- Role, past outcomes and discussions on the future of the GFMD process.
As an informative face-to-face event, this briefing features renowned experts from governments, the UN system, the International Organization for Migration, other international organizations and civil society. Following their presentations, participants have an opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions with the speakers.
The briefing is open to members of permanent missions to the United Nations in New York who work on migration and development issues in the context of the Global Forum on Migration and Development, the International Conference on Population and Development, etc. Representatives of governments, international organizations, the United Nations system, civil society and private sector with academic or professional interest on the topic are also encouraged to participate.

In CNBC-TV18's popular show Bull's Eye, Ashish Kapur, Investshoppe shares trading strategy of the day.
Long on Bata India with a target of Rs 920 and a stop loss at Rs 850. Bata which is the largest footwear retailer in India has been doing very well in the last couple of quarters. The company has a very strong distribution network and we do not foresee any slow down in this segment despite the otherwise slow growth in economy. Besides doing very well the company is expanding its range of products and has introduced a number of smart new collections.
Long on City Union Bank with a target of Rs 65 and a stop loss at Rs 59. This bank enjoys very strong balance sheet, has a very good capital adequacy ratio, has very good quality of assets with net non performing assets with only 0.6 percent. The company has registered a very healthy growth in CASA. Given all this it is a very good take over target for any big bank wanting to enter into the Indian banking space.
Long on SKS Microfinance with a target of Rs 135 and a stop loss at Rs 123. This company has had a very rough patch over the last year, year and a half but at the current price we feel that the worst seems to have been already factored in. The company's financials are likely to improve going forward, about 85 percent of the losses from Andhra Pradesh have been factored in and accounted for. Besides Andhra Pradesh the company has managed to retain its market share and restrict its losses.
Long on KRBL with a target of Rs 28 and a stop loss at Rs 25.30. KRBL is the largest rice player in this country in terms of install capacity and is present both in the basmati as well as the non basmati segments. The company has done very well in the last quarter results and has predicted a very good future growth expecting to double its revenue over the next two years and also become debt free in this process.

" Brand: Argos / Type: Water Toys "
This is a great padlding pool for your child you can buy it from Argos for £17.49. The paddling pool states it is suitable for children aged 3 years and over.
The paddling pool is by the well known brand Beanstalk. Which I find makes some of the more cheaper baby items in Argos such as high chairs, Bouncers, play mats and toys etc but it is just as good quality.
The paddling pool comes in 3 seperate pieces that fix together. There's the bright yellow main circle pool, the pink tongue which acts as slide and the main elephant face with the trunk connected. Each piece inflates seperately which is ideal I used our air bed electric pump and it only took a few minutes to inflate them. Each piece of the paddling pool fits on to the other there is rope provided to make it stable. The paddling pool also comes with some patches which will mend any holes that the pool may get.
The pool measures (H)130, (W)164, (L)230cm and can hold about 300 litres of water. I found it suprisingly spacious I manged to fit in it with my girls. I like the fact that it comes in 3 pieces as if you didn't want to include the slide you could just use it as a basic circle pool, or you could add plastic balls and use it as a ball pool. The slide is easy for your child to climb onto it has handles at the top that your child can use as support. Once you wet the slide they will slide down easily. An extra thing the main trunk does is if you fix a hose pipe to the side of it then water squirts from the main trunk. My daughters loved this as they weren't expecting it and when they whizz down the slide it splashes them.
We brought this for my daughters last year and never ended up using it. But then the other day it was lovely outside so we got it out for them and they loved it. The pool is very safe and fun for them. I like that the pool doesn't take long to inflate and deflate so it is easy to put down at the end of the day. I think the pool will do them all this summer and maybe next and I would defintely recommend it to others.
Inflatable pool with water slide. Suitable for use with water and plastic balls. Capacity of 300 litres. Takes approximately 5 minutes to inflate and 6 minutes to fill.

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Pope Benedict XVI will visit Cuba next year in the second trip by a pope to the Communist island, a senior Vatican official said.
John Paul II visited in 1998, when he celebrated mass in Havana's Revolution Square and called on "Cuba to open to the world, and the world to open to Cuba," the BBC reported Friday.
Monsignor Jose Felix Perez, executive secretary of the Cuban Bishops Conference, said the exact date of Benedict's arrival in spring 2012 has not been decided, but the visit will include a pilgrimage in honor of the Virgin of Caridad del Cobre, the patron of Cuba, the Independent Catholic News reported.
Benedict will meet with representatives of President Raul Castro's government, the BBC said.
"The visit will give strength and vigor to the faith in Cuba. The visit should be one of peace and reconciliation," Perez said.
Perez said the pope may visit Mexico later in 2012, the News reported.

PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: QPR 0 Tottenham 0 - as it happened from Loftus Road
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as QPR host Tottenham in a London derby to start the weekend's action. Harry Redknapp welcomes his former club to Loftus Road as he targets successive Premier League victories while Andre Villas-Boas' outfit are aiming to strengthen their grip on third spot in the table. Send me your thoughts on the action at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact me on Twitter @Ripinho.
QPR 0-0 Tottenham (12.45pm)
Click here for the live goals as they go in
QPR: Julio Cesar, Onuoha, Hill,
Nelsen, Da Silva, Mbia, Park, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt, Mackie.
Subs: Green, Ferdinand, Cisse, Ben Haim, Faurlin, Bothroyd, Campbell.
Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Dawson,
Vertonghen, Naughton, Lennon (Sigurdsson 80), Dembele, Sandro (Parker 25), Bale, Adebayor (Dempsey 69), Defoe.
Subs: Friedel, Huddlestone, Assou-Ekotto, Caulker.
Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
14.40: Well that's it from me on this game but click here to join me for today's 3pm games - see you there.
14.37: A decent point for QPR who move off the bottom but an opportunity missed for Tottenham who fail to put pressure on second placed Manchester City by picking up three points.
Nevertheless, a point is better than nothing for Andre Villas-Boas' team who avoid defeat and remain third.
Full-time: QPR 0-0 Tottenham
90+1min: Two minutes will be added on.
89min: Despite that spell of Spurs pressure, it's QPR doing most of the attacking in the final moments now. But you sense these teams could play all night and never score.
86min: More great build up but no finish from QPR. It's another one-two involving Taarabt but this time it's Wright-Phillips who breaks into the box, before getting his feet into a tangle and enabling the Spurs defence to clear.
84min: Bale is back on dead ball duties but he might not be for the next one as he fails to connect with an attempted topspin shot that comfortably flies wide of the post.
83min: Tottenham are looking confident on the ball again as Mackie makes a rash challenge to trip Dempsey 30 yards from goal.
80min: Final change for Spurs as Gylfi Sigurdsson replaces Lennon.
79min: Lloris has not been tested today but the Spurs keeper remains alert as he sprints off his line and outside the box to cut out out a superb Taarabt through ball.
76min: Taarabt is lucky to escape without a booking as he piles through Kyle Naughton with a badly timed sliding tackle as Spurs continue to toil in attack if not possession.
73min: Great play from QPR. Fabio and Taarabt link up with a slick one-two on the left wing, but after cantering into the box, the full-back's low cross just fails to find a team-mate.
70min A first booking for QPR as Mbia is cautioned for holding back Bale.
69min: Adebayor's day is in fact done as he is replaced by Clint Dempsey for Spurs.
68min: Adebayor has been anything but impressive today and he continues his poor showing. After picking up the ball in the box, the striker neither shoots nor cuts the ball back, instead winning a corner when it should have at least resulted in a shot on goal..
65min: And it's Taarabt that is spearheading most of them. The playmaker does very well to dash past Kyle Naughton on the right touchline, but after venturing into the box is soon forced back out on to the flank.
National interest: England boss Roy Hodgson (second left) was in attendance at Loftus Road as was Jamie Redknapp (second right)
63min: Just like the first half, QPR have grown more into the game after overcoming a Spurs onslaught and are starting to show some threat in attack.
60min: QPR have really struggled to get out of their own half but they continue to keep Tottenham at bay as Dawson heads over for the visitors from a corner.
57min: From InfostradaLive:
QPR have scored in each of their last six home league matches against Tottenham, since a 0-0 draw in 1990.
54min: But Cesar is needed moments later as the Brazilian does well to block Defoe's shot from inside the box for a corner.
The keeper is alert again to pluck out Bale's set-piece floated towards the backpost.
53min: The pressure continues as Aaron Lennon is clipped on the very corner of the QPR box to win a free-kick.
This time Walker strikes the set-piece and it only just evades the far top corner. Cesar was well beaten.
50min: Tottenham's passing is a little better this half but QPR remain strong at the back. Dembele's through ball into the box is perfect for Bale, but Nelsen reads it well and prevents the Welshman from getting on to it as QPR win a goal kick.
48min: Bale's set-piece is saved by Cesar, who needs two attempts to gather, but Spurs are back on the attack moments later as Parker fizzes a strike just over the bar.
46min: And the visitors already have a chance as Defoe is fouled by Ryan Nelsen 23 yards from goal. Bale will fancy scoring from this range.
Going down: QPR's Stephane Mbia shoves Spurs substitute Scott Parker off the ball
Second-half: No changes as Spurs restart the game.
13.46: From InfostradaLive:
Tottenham have scored in each of their last 12 PL away matches. If they score today they it will set a new PL club record for netting in successive away matches and be their longest since a 16-match streak in 1984-85.
13.41: From OptaJoe:
1 - Spurs have both scored (72 per cent) & conceded (74 per cent) the highest proportion of goals in the second half of PL games this season (72 per cent). Open.
13.36: A poor contest overall so far. Spurs are below their best but QPR have defended very well even if they are just as blunt in attack.
Outside of that incredible Cesar double save we are clutching at straws in terms of out-right chances.
We're backing you Harry...just not today! Spurs fans unveil a banner at Loftus Road
Half-time: QPR 0-0 Tottenham
45min: This game needs some magic and Wright-Phillips nearly produces it.
The winger's turn upon receiving the ball leaves Walker for toast, but after running and avoiding another challenge from a Spurs defender, he disappointingly shoots wide of the post.
There will be three minutes added on following Sandro's injury.
42min: That just about sums up the half. Scott Parker finally finds some space in that midfield, but from 30 yards he shoots well wide of the target.
40min: Taarabt's attempted cross from the set-piece is very poor though as Spurs head clear before winning a free-kick themselves following a Ryan Nelsen push.
39min: A chance for QPR though as they win a free-kick out on the right following Dembele's blatant trip on Jamie Mackie. The Belgian is booked for the foul.
On the stretch: Tottenham's Mousa Dembele (left) battles QPR's Clint Hill for the ball
37min: It's become very congested in the midfield. Spurs are playing with a high defensive line but the Hoops are playing with little width and attacks are constantly breaking down following an interception.
34min: Madness from Shaun Derry. His squared pass is straight to Gareth Bale, but after the winger goes on a trademark sprint down the left flank, his cross is poor and nowhere near a team-mate.
To be fair most of them can't keep up with him in a sprint.
31min: The stalemate continues. Spurs look better on the ball but the QPR threat is there as Taarabt and Mbia both attempt through balls that just fail to find their respective targets.
28min: Much like this fixture last season, the home side are defending very well. Spurs cannot break down the Hoops' defence as Dembele drags a first-time drive from an Adebayor lay-off wide of the post.
25min: As Sandro eventually trudges off down the tunnel, Scott Parker comes on for Tottenham.
Not a bad day for the England midfielder to play a major part in this game with Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson in the Loftus Road stands.
24min: In fact Sandro's day looks done. After trying to play a pass back into the QPR box, the midfielder looked like he twisted his knee and he will not be able continue as he limps off the field.
22min: A well timed tackle from Dawson prevents Mbia from getting into a one-on-one battle with Lloris, but Spurs have other issues now as Sandro is receiving treatment on the pitch.
Danger man: QPR's Adel Taarabt (centre) attempts to fend off the Tottenham defence
20min: It's the first glimpse of goal Spurs have had in a while but it's hardly threatening as Bale's 30 yard strike fails to trouble Cesar.
17min: A smart nutmeg from Taarabt on Mousa Dembele gives the Hoops playmaker an eye for goal, but his strike that follows is poor and Hugo Lloris easily takes.
14min: After a dominant start from Tottenham, QPR have grown in confidence and have turned this into a much more even game. Both sides have been particularly poor with their passing though.
11min: QPR's best move so far. Taarabt plays a great through ball for Shaun Wright-Phillips, but under pressure from Kyle Walker and Michael Dawson, his shot cannons off the latter for a corner from inside the penalty area.
8min: Spurs are on top now and are unlucky not to win a free-kick as Aaron Lennon is tripped on the edge of the box.
His theatrics to go down do not help though and he is now being booed by the QPR fans every time he touches the ball.
6min: Tremendous double save from Cesar! First the Brazilian manages to tip Defoe's top corner bound drive on to the post, before the former Inter Milan keeper springs to his feet to block Emmanuel Adebayor's rebound destined for the bottom corner.
3min: First sign of that patient passing from Spurs. Gareth Bale does well to dodge two challenges on the left before his pass back fro Sandro is arrowed towards the bottom corner.
It lacks power though and Brazilian compatriot Julio Cesar collects with ease.
2min: Cagey start which aside from a cleared Adel Taarabt free-kick hasn't produced much attacking play.
Kick-off: QPR get us going.
No hard feelings: QPR boss Harry Redknapp (left) greets his Tottenham successor Andre Villas-Boas
12.42: Out come the players, as ever the Premier League's smallest ground is packed out.
12.38: Full line-ups from Loftus Road:
QPR v Tottenham
QPR: Julio Cesar, Onuoha, Hill, Nelsen, Da Silva, Mbia, Park, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt, Mackie. Subs: Green, Ferdinand, Cisse, Ben Haim, Faurlin, Bothroyd, Campbell.
Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Naughton, Lennon, Dembele, Sandro, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe. Subs: Friedel, Dempsey, Huddlestone, Parker, Sigurdsson, Assou-Ekotto, Caulker.
Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
12.33: Just under 15 minutes until kick-off so time for a pre-match read as Sami Mokbel spoke to QPR's Stephane Mbia in a Sportsmail exclusive.
The midfielder revealed that the early season results were more of the players not trying hard enough for the now departed manager Mark Hughes in an honest assessment of the season so far.
Ready to go: Emmanuel Adebayor (left) plays his final Spurs game before departing for the African Nations Cup
12.28: Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor plays his final match before departing for the African Nations Cup in today's Barclays Premier League clash with QPR.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, forward Jermain Defoe and winger Aaron Lennon also return among the seven changes to the side that defeated Coventry 3-0 in the FA Cup.
Midfielder Ji-Sung Park and winger Shaun Wright-Phillips start for QPR with manager Harry Redknapp hoping to mastermind victory against the club that sacked him in June.
12.23: AVB of course was named December's Manager of the Month and he is slowly winning over many of the Spurs fans following the controversial sacking of Redknapp in the summer.
Redknapp's exit split the Tottenham fan base and to this day there are still arguments over whether it was the right or wrong move.
Myself and Tom Bellwood assessed both sides of that particular coin.
12.20: Tottenham boss, Andre Villas-Boas told Sky Sports how Harry Redknapp may have a slight advantage today:
'There is an advantage, he knows the [Tottenham] players pretty well. He knows the weaknesses to exploit. With Harry on the bench it will be a difficult game.
'As you get results you get confidence - and that's been the case with us, our performances have been good, the players immense.'
12.17: From InfostradaLive:
Harry Redknapp is unbeaten in his last 17 #EPL home London derby matches, including all 16 when he was at #spurs #qpr
12.14: From OptaJoe:
2 - Harry Redknapp has lost just two of his 16 clashes against former clubs as a Premier League manager (W10 D4 L2). Revenge.
Dead ball master: Adel Taarabt celebrates with the QPR bench after scoring against Tottenham last season
12.11: In fact it was Harry Redknapp's Tottenham that limped to a 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road last term.
Adel Taarabt's free-kick decided the contest which Spurs dominated for much of the game but rarely tested the home side's keeper, Paddy Kenny.
Incidentally it was also Redknapp's last defeat as Tottenham manager.
12.06: Tottenham are many people's favourites this afternoon but QPR proved in their last Premier League game they are more than capable of winning today.
The shock win at Chelsea has boosted the Hoops and today they are looking for back-to-back top flight wins for the first time since 1995.
12.01: From OptaJoe:
79 - Sandro has intercepted more opposition passes than any other player in the Premier League this season (79). Concentration.
11.56: QPR starting XI:
Cesar, Hill, Onuoha, Nelsen, Fabio, Mbia, Park, Derry, Taarabt, Wright-Phillips, Mackie.
11.53: Tottenham starting XI:
Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Dawson, Naughton, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.
11.50: Before it gets personal, let's check out the bread and butter aims.
QPR need just a point today to move off the bottom of the table (at least temporarily) and a win to move them within two points of Premier League safety.
Spurs meanwhile will target a win to lift them within three points of second place Manchester City - who travel to Arsenal tomorrow of course.
11.45: Afternoon folks, there are very few better ways to start a Premier League weekend than with a clash that concerns both ends of the table.
Better yet, one that is a London derby, a battle between old school management and new breed coaching and of course, Harry Redknapp's first meeting with the club that sacked him last summer. It's QPR v Tottenham and the team news is on the way.
Early starters: QPR host Tottenham at Loftus Road to get the weekend's action underway

Dwolla Direct Launches Wednesday
Des Moines, Iowa-based payments innovator Dwolla announced another payment innovation: Dwolla Direct, which lets individuals and organizations send money over the Dwolla network without registering for a full account. The service is slated to go live for consumers Wednesday.
The belief is that most consumers do not want to sign up for yet another account, and that reluctance has hindered broader adoption of Dwolla. With Dwolla Direct, a new user supplies an email address, a password and he/she verifies his bank or credit union.
There is no need to provide a routing number or an account number.
The user indicates the name of his or her financial institution, then provides account login credentials.
According to Dwolla the process, start to payment, can occur as quickly as 15 seconds.
Once set up, a returning user can initiate a new payment just by entering the username and password. Dwolla will remember the account information,
Dwolla insisted that existing users can continue to use the present Dwolla system.
"The impetus for Dwolla Direct is to help small businesses replace checks," said Dwolla spokesperson Jordan Lampe in a CUTimes interview.
"We will use the existing check rails. In two to three days, the recipient will get the cash," said Lampe, who indicated that the recipient will be charged Dwolla's customary 25 cent fee on transactions of more than $10. For transactions with a smaller dollar amount, the payment is free.
Fees imposed by competitor PayPal are significantly higher. The typical PayPal charge is 2.99% plus $0.30. On a $11 ticket, that's around $0.62.
"Our intent is to remove the excuses some merchants have for holding onto paper checks," Lampe said. "We are trying to make ACH compatible with the 21st century. Paper checks may go away but the payment network will continue to work."
Dwolla Direct has some similarities to Square Cash, a P2P tool; but, Lampe stressed, Square Cash rides the debit rails, while Dwolla Direct is ACH based.
Structurally, Dwolla is an agent of $2.5 billion Veridian Credit Union in Waterloo, Iowa. Funds in a Dwolla account are held in a pooled account at Veridian.

Domestic energy explorer QEP Resources Inc. (QEP - Free Report) reported weaker-than-expected third quarter results, hamstrung by lower production.
The company reported earnings per share – adjusted for special items – of 36 cents, underperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents. Revenues – at $772.8 million – also failed to surpass the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $799.0 million.
However, QEP Resources' performance improved considerably from the year-ago period amid a jump in commodity prices. Adjusted profit almost doubled from the third quarter 2012 level of 19 cents per share, while revenues were up 42.5%.
Volume Analysis
Overall production for QEP Resources during the quarter was 78.0 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) – 71% gas – down 4.3% from the previous-year period. Natural gas volumes deteriorated 14.4% year over year to 55.2 billion cubic feet (Bcf), while liquids volumes jumped 34.3% to 3,798.6 thousand barrels (MBbl). Weakness in natural gas production reflected lower output from the Haynesville region. On the other hand, liquids (particularly crude oil) volumes benefited from robust performance in the Williston Basin.
Realized Prices
QEP Resources' average realized natural gas price was up 7.8% from the corresponding period of 2012 to $4.29 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), while average oil price realization increased 8.1% to $90.19 per barrel. Overall net realized equivalent price averaged $6.71 per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) in the quarter, which was $1.57 higher than the year-ago period.
Capital Expenditure & Balance Sheet
During the quarter, QEP Resources spent $411.8 million on capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities. As of Sep 30, 2013, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $123.0 million and long-term debt of $2,882.3 million, with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 42.4%.
QEP Resources remain focused on raising high-margin crude oil production, with the company expected to grow crude oil volumes by 60% over 2012 levels.
Zacks Rating
QEP Resources, in its present form, came into existence following the 2010 spin-off of Salt Lake City, Utah-based Questar Corp's oil and gas exploration and production business into a separate, independent, publicly traded entity.
The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that it is expected to perform in line with the broader U.S. equity market over the next one to three months.

The inevitable and ongoing summer closings and cast replacements on Broadway and Off-many of them driven by stars better known from other fields of show business-were punctuated by the sudden departure of Judi Dench from "Amy's View" last week, to be with her ailing husband in London.
Dench's absence led to a severe drop in the David Hare play's box office receipts and further demonstrated the uncertainty of productions based on star power. Dench is expected to return to the play July 6 for its final nine performances.
Many audience members at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre have elected not to stay to see understudy Jennifer Harmon in the role that won Dench a Tony Award as best actress in a play. Dench cancelled her performances beginning Wed. evening June 23 (including an Actors' Fund benefit performance Sunday night) to fly to England to see her husband, actor Michael Williams. Harmon has been filling in at all performances except the benefit. The limited run of "Amy's View" was always scheduled to close July 13.
Earlier in the season, the illnesses of Nicole Kidman and Brian Dennehy had forced the cancellations of several performances of their shows, "The Blue Room" and "Death of a Salesman," respectively. Dennehy, who has no understudy as Willie Loman, and the entire cast of "Salesman" are on vacation this week. The show closed June 29 and will reopen with the matinee on Wed. July 6. Ron Eldard has left the cast of Off-Broadway's "bash" after less than a week to replace Kevin Anderson in the role of Biff Loman, Willie's elder son.
"bash," Neil LaBute's three one-acts at the Douglas Fairbanks Theatre, was last week's big opening, thanks to its starring Calista Flockhart, an Off-Broadway alumna now better known as television's "Ally MacBeal."
Other television stars on hiatus from their productions and working On or Off-Broadway, include George Segal ("Just Shoot Me") and Wayne Knight ("Third Rock from the Sun") as two-thirds of "Art" (with Buck Henry) through August 15; Bill Brochtrup ("NYPD Blue") in "Snakebit" through early August; and Scott Wolf, of "Party of Five," who has replaced Christian Slater as the son/narrator in "Side Man," through July 17, after which Wolf returns to his series. No replacement for Wolf has been set.
Sometimes Hollywood's hot actors summering in New York theatre don't make it all the way through their hiatuses. Lisa Gay Hamilton ("The Practice") opened two weeks ago in "Angelique," to glowing notices. Less than a week later she left the cast to accept a movie role.
Revolving the Stage Door
One forthcoming Broadway musical by a living composer, Stephen Sondheim, has made a major cast change prior to the first rehearsal. Susan Egan has left "Putting It Together" in order to take over the role of Sally Bowles in "Cabaret." She will be replaced by Ruthie Henshall, who is currently in her Broadway debut as Velma Kelly in "Chicago." To accommodate Henshall's commitment to that show, "Putting It Together" producer Cameron Mackintosh has postponed its first preview until Oct. 29 and the opening until middle or late November.
Kathleen Chalfant, whose performance in "Wit" garnered her every acting award for which she was eligible, will leave the Off-Broadway show at the Union Square Theatre after the Aug. 8 Sunday matinee. A replacement has yet to be named. Chalfant will resume the role of a dying cancer patient at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in January.
Scott Glenn returned to the title role of "Killer Joe" at the Soho Playhouse, which extended the play's run by two weeks. The show closed Sun., June 27.
In June, Deedee Lynn Magno reclaimed the role of Kim in "Miss Saigon" at the Broadway Theatre. (At the same time, Kristine Remigio joined the cast to play Kim at certain performances.) Magno in turn was replacing Lea Salonga, who won a Tony in the part eight years ago and had recently returned to the show for a five-month stint.
Polly Draper recently has taken over for Natasha Richardson in "Closer," at the Music Box. Director-playwright Patrick Marber took the occasion to rewrite her role as an American -- which Draper is -- working in London. In addition to several lines explaining the character's emigrant status, Marber also dropped English colloquial phrases in favor of more accessible American speech-and restored his relatively "more bittersweet" ending of the play's earlier London version.
"Smokey Joe's Cafe," which recently became the longest-running revue in Broadway history, continues to provide a welcoming revolving door for pop music icons. Lesley Gore will return to the show, at the Virginia Theatre, for two more weeks beginning July 13. And Gladys Knight is coming back, without the Pips, for two weeks starting Aug. 17.
"This Lime Tree Bower," the Conor McPherson play at Primary Stages, has been extended through July 18. Jamie Bennett replaced T. R. Knight in the role of Joe on June 28.
This week, Ken Page joins the company of "It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues" for four weeks, filling in for Ron Taylor, who is recovering from a mild stroke.
While the influx of Hollywood stars to Broadway appears to have abated a bit, Woody Harrelson will do a relatively limited run in "The Rainmaker" at the Roundabout beginning in November. Julie Harris, a five-time Tony winner as Best Actress, will star in South African playwright Lisette Lecat Ross's "Scent of the Roses" at the Belasco Theatre beginning Dec. 1, after a run at the Helen Hayes Performing Arts Center in Nyack, N.Y., in October and November.
Heading away from Broadway are Richard Chamberlain, who recently closed in the role of Captain Von Trapp in the revival of "The Sound of Music," but will reprise the part on tour starting in Minneapolis in August. Matthew Broderick, after last weekend's closing of "Night Must Fall," will finish his work on the movie "You Can Count on Me." (He's been filming on Mondays and half of Tuesdays while in the play.)
"Ring Round the Moon" on Broadway, and "Beautiful Thing" Off-Broadway also closed on Sun. June 27. The Kevin Spacey-led production of Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh" will close its limited run on schedule July 17. Charles Ludlam's "The Mystery of Irma Vep" is set to close the next day, after 335 performances and 22 previews at the Westside Theatre.
Good Role, My Someone
No matter how many Hollywood stars troop to Broadway come fall and winter, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Meredith Willson, E. Y. Harburg, and Burton Lane are likely be the pre-eminent names in the next New York theatre season as surely as the dramatists Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill were in the one recently ended.
"Kiss Me, Kate," "The Boys From Syracuse," "The Music Man" and "Finian's Rainbow," all classic and successful shows from the golden age of musicals, are set for openings between this November and the late spring of 2000-in two cases with completely rewritten librettos. While major Hollywood stars have been pursued for the title role in "The Music Man," the only firm casting announced so far has been drawn from reliable, familiar theatre names.
Marin Mazzie and Brian Stokes Mitchell, who played opposite one another in "Ragtime," will star as the feuding ex-husband and wife touring co-stars in the first-ever Broadway revival of the 1948 "Kiss Me, Kate," Porter's biggest hit. The show is set for a Nov. 18 opening after three weeks of previews. Michael Blakemore, who directed "The Life" and "City of Angels," will direct a cast that also includes Amy Spanger and Michael Barresse. Kathleen Marshall ("Swinging on a Star," "1776") has been signed to choreograph, and Paul Gemignani will conduct. No one else will be revising the Sam and Bella Spewack libretto, which was based in part on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."
The revival of "The Music Man," Willson's 1957 show about an early 1900s Iowa con man, is still scheduled to go into rehearsal in December for a spring 2000 opening, despite the big parade of movie names who have turned down the title role indelibly played by Robert Preston on Broadway and in the 1962 movie version. Stars as disparate as Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, George Clooney, Kevin Kline, Steve Martin, and Patrick Swayze have turned down a rumored 10% of the show's box-office gross receipts to reprise Preston's role for a year or so. Michael David, a principal in the revival's producing company, Dodger Endemol Theatrical, reportedly now favors Bill Irwin ("Fool Moon") for the part, while "Music Man" director Susan Stroman is said to prefer Scott Bakula.
One component of "The Music Man"-apart from the director-is set: there will be no rewriting or "updating" of Willson's semi-autobiographical, defiantly period book (he also wrote the music and lyrics), a spokesperson for the producers confirmed.
Such will not be the case with the two other scheduled classic musicals. "The Boys From Syracuse," the 1938 Rodgers and Hart musical based on Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors," will get a completely revamped libretto by Nicky Silver for the nonprofit Roundabout Theatre Company revival projected for the spring of 2000. Scott Ellis will direct the production, which will be augmented with new songs, with the permission of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. No casting has been set.
"Finian's Rainbow," Harburg and Lane's 1947 then-breakthrough but now somewhat dated fantasy/satire, will get a new libretto by Peter Stone, who refurbished the book for the current revival of "Annie Get Your Gun." The new "Finian's Rainbow," whose leads are still not cast, will be directed by Lonny Price for an Oct. 12 opening at Miami's Coconut Grove Playhouse (through Nov. 21). The musical will move to the Cleveland Playhouse for a Nov. 30-Dec. 12 run before a projected February opening on Broadway.
Casting notices have run in Back Stage for "The Music Man," "Kiss Me Kate," and "Finian's Rainbow," and casting for the chorus and dancers of these shows has been completed. "The Boys From Syracuse" casting notice should appear in a future issue, as will an update on the forthcoming season.

text: Johannesburg – The Gauteng economy seems to have gone into hibernation from May. In the three months to end-May the BoE Private Clients and Sake24 Gauteng Barometer dipped 2.7%. But it was 4.6% up on the year before. Mike Schüssler from Economists.co.za, who compiles the barometer, said he now has no doubt that the Gauteng economy is stagnating. "There will be growth, but it will be only sufficient to keep pace with the population increase. No one will become richer or poorer." Schüssler said the mining industry is a particular millstone around Gauteng's neck. "Most mines in Gauteng are gold mines and the industry has been struggling for a long time. This will have a negative impact on the province's economy for a long time." In May the barometer's mining index was 12.1% down year-on-year (y/y) and 20.6% down on three years before. Schüssler said pressure on the mining sector because of lower commodity prices is also hurting many Gauteng factories. The May barometer's manufacturing index was only 0.5% up on the previous year, pulled down by steel manufacturing in particular. "Gauteng's factories are feeling the cold winds blowing in from the European economy," said Schüssler. Automobile manufacturers are however doing better because Gauteng's motor sales remain strong. In May, vehicle sales in this province were 8.3% firmer than the year before, despite consumers spending less on durable goods. But people in Gauteng spent much more in pharmacies and hardware stores. The latest available figures for April show pharmacy sales were 7% up y/y, with those of hardware rising 15%. The barometer's May trade index fell 0.5% on a monthly basis, but was 6.4% up y/y. This index is compiled from the latest available figures for vehicle, petrol, retail and wholesale sales. Consumers helped the Gauteng construction industry lift its head. Schüssler said that in May construction showed a strong revival and the barometer's construction index rose 10.8%. It was 17.7% up y/y. This improvement is largely attributable to a 57% increase in the three-month moving average of the square meterage of non-residential buildings completed. Schüssler said this figure reflects an increase in retail space in particular. He said non-residential construction figures are often volatile because large buildings are included in the figures only once they are fully completed. The barometer's index for transport, storage and communications was 11.9% up y/y. This index is compiled from data on air and overland transport in Gauteng, as well as the number of cellphone and landline telephone calls made across the entire country. Communications still made a positive contribution to the index, but the number of passengers moving through the OR Tambo airport in May declined for the first time in eight months. Schüssler says this decline reflects higher petrol prices, but also the fact that Europeans now have less money to spend on holidays. The barometer's index measuring economic stress in the Gauteng economy rose 0.4% in May, but it was 2.2% down on the year before. Economic pressure is calculated based on unemployment and inflation. The May Gauteng unemployment rate slipped to 26.6% and inflation was 5.5% lower than South Africa's general inflation rate. - Sake24For more business news in Afrikaans, go to Sake24.com.To find out how your province performed, click here.* Find more stories on this and other topics on our Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages.
