"There was discussion regarding the payment for this initiative, as the state is already late on payment of existing bills to community-based agencies with state contracts," according to the minutes of the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority's September 30, 2010, meeting, which were obtained by CNN. |
At the meeting, an official from Quinn's administration assured state officials that the program would have the necessary funds. |
"The governor's office is committed to allocating some of the funds for this initiative immediately and will allocate the rest after the election," the official said, according to the meeting's minutes. |
Murphy called that statement a "smoking gun." It shows, according to Murphy, "that motivation for this program was to get money out in politically important neighborhoods for Gov. Quinn before ... a tight election." |
Murphy and other Republican legislators point to the fact that most of the program's funding went to black neighborhoods in Chicago that were ultimately critical to Quinn's election. |
"Why on earth would anybody in a government position talk about the timing of an election with the release of public taxpayer dollars if it wasn't for the political advancement of their boss?" Murphy said, referring to the Quinn staffer's comments. |
"I wouldn't say it's buying votes," said Democratic state Rep. Thaddeus Jones, when asked about the timing of the governor's announcement of the anti-violence program. "I could see (it as) currying favor." |
Quinn ended up winning the 2010 election by less than one percentage point, largely due to the turnout of the black vote in Chicago. |

Wow - knew when delivery was coming! |
Why can't all companies do this? I was given a guaranteed one hour delivery slot as the goods had to be signed for, but I couldn't make the original delivery date as I was out that day. But that wasn't a problem at all, as I was able to change the time either on my phone by text message, or on-line, and the change in d... |
And is if that wasn't enough, the prices for the HP cartridges I ordered were extremely competitive. |
Well done Shima Uma - you were great! |

I have set up log shipping with my database to make a backup. The backup copy of the database is in a status called '(Restoring...)'. |
I understand this is to be expected? Is there a good way I can tell whether the log shipping is actually working? |
I have run the stored procedures sp_help_log_shipping_monitor_primary, and sp_help_log_shipping_monitor_secondary which are all good. |
What I had in mind was trying to understand what the restoring mode is. If there is a way of backing up and restoring that database so I can take a separate copy of it to check? |
In an emergency, how do you take it out of the restoring mode? |

Its a bit round about. But first you have the option in the configuration to change the resulting database to 'standby mode'. |
This results in a destination database which is grey, and is marked as 'Standby / Read-Only'. You can look at the tables and query it etc. |
Take the database offline (TestReplication is what mine is called), and copy the mdf and ldf files. Put it back online again. |
Create a new database called 'TestReplicationNew'. Take it offline, and copy the mdf and ldf files from the last step over top of the TestReplicationNew mdl and ldf files. |
Take it back online and you have a read write database that you can test works. |
If I don't do it like this I get an error, |
cannot attach a database that was being restored |
