This invention relates to dielectric fluids and more particularly to dielectric and coolant media for transformers and to dielectric and arc-extinguishing media for use in electrical circuit interrupting devices such as switchgear and fusegear.
The term transformer as used herein will be understood to be a piece of static apparatus which by electromagnetic induction transforms alternating voltage and current between two or more windings at the same frequency and usually at different values of voltage and current; liquid-filled transformers are well-known and the liquid in the transformer normally constitutes both a dielectric and a coolant.
The term switchgear as used herein will be understood to include: circuit breakers, ring main units, switches, switch fuses, switch disconnectors and the like for switching or breaking electrical circuits.
Switchgear normally includes a plurality of movable circuit interrupting contacts which may be connected to or disconnected from corresponding fixed contacts, all of which are disposed in a reservoir or chamber containing or surrounded by a dielectric fluid medium. If the contacts are immersed or enveloped in the dielectric fluid, as the contacts separate during normal operation a transient arc is briefly established in the medium, such arcing normally being rapidly suppressed by the medium. The present invention also includes switchgear in which the contacts for making and breaking normal and abnormal currents are contained within a vacuum chamber surrounded by a dielectric and coolant fluid.
The term fuse is a generic term for a device that by the melting of one or more of its specially designed and proportioned components, opens the circuit in which it is inserted and interrupts the current when it exceeds the given value for a sufficient time. More particularly it includes liquid-filled fuses in which the fuse-element is enclosed in an insulating container filled to an appropriate level with an arc-extinguishing fluid. The equipment in which it is fitted is termed the fuse-gear and can include a switching device in conjunction with fuses.
The term Askarels is a generic term for fire resistant insulating fluids and are composed of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) with or without the additions of polychlorinated benzenes as defined in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC Standard) Publication 588 -1: 1977. `Askarels for transformers and capacitors`. PCB's are non-biodegradeable and an environmental hazard. Silicones, complex esters and paraffinic oils are used in transformers as direct replacements for PCB's. However, these produce large fireballs under the conditions described.
Recently two USA companies have introduced specially designed transformers, one using perchloroethylene and another containing 113 trichlorotrifluoroethane as the dielectric and coolant fluid. Trichlorotrifluoroethane is highly volatile so that under catastrophic failure conditions it results in a vapour concentration in air such that personnel within the vicinity of the failure would be rendered insensible. Under normal operating conditions very high vapour pressures are produced by the trichlorotrifluoroethane within a sealed transformer (or switchgear) which requires a substantial pressure vessel to contain the fluid; the vessel is both expensive and impractical; special cooling arrangements for the fluid/vapour have been provided but again are expensive.
Perchloroethylene has been known as a dielectric fluid for many years. Its pour point is about -19� C. which is generally considered to be unsuitable for switchgear and transformer application and is outside the values specified in national and international standards for such apparatus. Also perchloroethylene produces unacceptable concentrations of carbonyl chloride, chlorine and perchloroethylene vapour under catastrophic conditions. To reduce the pour point of perchloroethylene, the addition of trichlorobenzene has been proposed. Full-scale catastrophic failure tests clearly show this blend to be flammable.
The use of perchloroethylene as a dielectric and coolant fluid for transformers has been advocated in the USA in the EPRI Journal (July/August 1979) and there is particular reference to it admixed with hydrocarbon electrical insulating oil, which is claimed to be non-flammable. Full-scale catastrophic failure tests, however clearly show a considerable fireball.
We have found that under conditions of catastrophic failure, as described hereafter, compositions having more than about 1% by weight of hydrogen will flame in admixture with perchloroethylene, and produce explosive gases.
Furthermore transformers and switchgear under normal operating conditions can suffer from electrical discharges. These discharges can break down the molecules of the fluid contained in the device. If the molecule contains chlorine and hydrogen, such as blends of perchloroethylene with trichlorobenzene, or hydrocarbon insulating oil, or an ester, then hydrogen chloride (HCl) will be formed. Hot spot temperatures in the windings of transformers can also give rise to the formation of HCl. Acid acceptors can be introduced into these fluids. However eventually these acceptors will become spent and accept no further HCl. This HCl is highly corrosive and causes significant damage to the construction materials of the transformers. This highly corrosive condition has been found in transformers which have been filled with blends of polychlorinated biphenyl as the dielectric and coolant fluid.
Hydrocarbon insulating oil similar to that defined in British Standard 148: 1972 has been, and is still used extensively as a dielectric and coolant medium for transformers and as a dielectric and arc-extinguishing medium for switchgear. Faults may occur in the contact moving mechanism of switchgear and short circuits may occur as a result of equipment or insulation failure in switchgear and transformers. Such failures may result in the occurrence of intense and prolonged arcing through the oil resulting in an explosive generation of hydrocarbon vapours. In one type of device the chamber is pressure sealed and in another the top of the chamber is closed by a lid so as to operate at ambient pressure. In neither case can the blast of hydrocarbon vapours be contained; chamber rupture occurs and is accompanied by the ignition or sometimes detonation of the hydrocarbon vapour by the arc in the presence of air, usually resulting in a fireball.
The standard methods for determining flammable characteristics include open and closed cup and explosion chamber tests; these are not applicable and do not reflect the conditions of catastrophic failure of transformers or switchgear. Thus the units including fluid must be tested as a whole. Under high-energy arcs, which occur during catastrophic failure conditions the temperatures (about 15,000� C.) are considerably higher than those in laboratory cup-tests, giving rise to different free radical formation and a faster evolution of flammable gases. Hydrogen and ethylene are both produced in copious quantities from hydrogen-containing materials and these gases require very high proportions of halocarbons to prevent explosion in the vapour phase.
Relatively high energy internal arcing tests typically at 3-phase 12 kV; 13.1 kA for a duration up to 1 second, have been carried out in switchgear and transformers to simulate an internal breakdown of insulation and a short-circuit resulting in catastrophic failure. This test method was carried out on a considerable number of fluids and blends of compounds and clearly shows that fluids based on hydrogen-containing molecules, having a relatively high fire-point of (say) 350� C., compared to BS 148 hydrocarbon oil (circa 140� C.) shows no appreciable improvement under full scale catastrophic failure conditions since all produce explosive and flammable gases which ignite, leading to a considerable fireball. Table 1 lists some of the fluids which have been subjected to full-scale catastrophic failures tests, noting those which flamed and those which did not.
Table 1 also gives the temperatures and their duration within the vicinity of the switchgear or transformer for prior art dielectric fluids under catastrophic failure conditions. For fluids exhibiting no fireball or flame, temperature profiles of the gaseous cloud were taken as it was ejected from the equipment. In general, temperature measurements by infra-red showed values less than 300� C. for less than 0.5 seconds, in the absence of a flame. Surface temperatures at 500 mm from the equipment under test as measured by temperature strips were generally less than 50� C. for 1 second. Humans can tolerate air temperatures of 500� C. for about 2 seconds, and 200� C. for about 2 minutes. These results show that, in the absence of a flame, exposure to high temperatures is not a problem.
It has been proposed to use fluids incorporating hydrogen-containing molecules for these purposes, but it has been found that even small proportions of hydrogen atoms in the molecules can lead to the formation of acid products under arcing conditions. It is therefore desirable to use non-hydrogen-containing compounds for these uses. Unsaturated carbocyclic halocarbons containing hydrogen cause problems also, as they tend to degrade appreciably to produce carbon and acid. Also these materials have significantly lower values of electrical volume resistivity and dissipation factor, than fully-halogenated compounds.
It has been proposed to use non-flammable dielectric media, and many fluids have been suggested for this purpose.
Examples are to be found in British patent specifications Nos. 1,492,037 and 1,152,930.
In a first aspect this invention consists in a dielectric, cooling or arc-extinguishing fluid comprising a blend of tetrachloro-difluoroethane with perchloroethylene.
Preferably the proportion of the tetrachlorodifluoroethane is between 10 and 50% by weight of the mixture; more preferably 20%-40%.
Tetrachloro-difluoroethane, available as a commercial material, is normally a mixture of symmetrical and asymmetrical isomers. It has a boiling point of about 93� C. and a freezing point between 26� and 42� C. depending upon the isomer ratio.
Preferably, the fluid may incorporate as a third component other aliphatic or carbocyclic fluorine-containing halocarbons which are hydrogen-free and generally of a lower boiling point than the two principal components, in order to aid cooling by evaporation, to significantly reduce toxic products and to enhance the electron-capture capacity of the fluid. Particularly preferred compounds are those which are capable of forming electron-capturing free radicals, e.g. CF3, CF2 Cl, CFCl2, etc. This cooling by evaporation can be particularly advantageous where it significantly reduces the hot spot and gradient temperatures in transformer windings. Preferred examples of third components according to the invention are
perfluoro (n-pentane)
perfluoro (n-hexane)
perfluoro (cyclopentane)
perfluoro (cyclohexane)
trichlorotrifluoroethane and
which may be present in amounts up to 25% by weight of the mixture; more preferably up to 10% by weight.
In general, fluid mixtures according to the invention will normally be in the liquid phase under working conditions (the boiling point being generally above 100� C.), although in switchgear some evaporation and a small amount of degradation may occur due to the heat produced when electrical contacts are opened and arcing occurs. However, amounts of carbon produced are small and the dielectric behaves as an effective arc-extinguishing fluid with a minimum of decomposition.
The fluids according to this invention are completely non-flammable under conditions of catastrophic failure.
The fluids according to the invention are particularly effective as arc-suppressing or extinguishing agents. Such fluids are also effective in suppressing or extinguishing corona discharge in the media or in the vapour space above the media because of their capacity to absorb free electronic charge carriers responsible for the discharge.
The fluids according to this invention exhibit electrical properties at least as good as those values given in British Standard: 148; 1972 and in other equivalent national or international specifications such as IEC 296: 1969 of the International Electro-Technology Commission. Table 2 gives values of the dielectric strength (kV) and volume resistivity (ohm centimeters) for three blends of fluids according to the invention by way of example only and includes, for comparison purposes, corresponding data on other fluids.
These blends have proved themselves to exhibit good dielectric properties and due to their high density and low viscosity are excellent coolants for use in transformers. The blending of these fluids in the preferred proportions allows a lowering of the melting point where the melting point of the unsaturated perchloroethylene is too high for use alone as a fluid in transformer apparatus. Pour points of three blends are given in Table 2, by way of example.
Any candidate material must fulfil certain minimum physical and electrical criteria if it is to be used as a dielectric fluid. Essential properties include high electrical breakdown strength, high volume resistivity, low pour point, high boiling point and chemically compatibility with other materials which are used to construct the apparatus. Tests at 100� C. and in the presence of copper have shown the fluids of the invention to be thermally stable.
In a second aspect this invention consists in liquid-filled transformer apparatus which contains as the essential dielectric fluid a liquid mixture including tetrachlorodifluoroethane and perchloroethylene.
Preferably the tetrachlorodifluoroethane component comprises between 20% and 50% by weight of the liquid blend.
Preferably the dielectric fluid contains a third component which is a fluorinated aliphatic or carbocyclic halocarbon which is hydrogen-free and of a lower boiling point than the two principal components. Preferred third components for use in this context include
perfluoro (n-pentane)
perfluoro (n-hexane)
perfluoro (cyclopentane)
perfluoro (cyclohexane)
monofluorotrichloromethane and
This third component can be present in amounts up to 25% by weight, more preferably up to 10% by weight of the overall mixture. It is believed that this third component contributes to the efficiency of the dielectric fluid by taking up heat from hot-spots in the transformer windings by vapourization. Furthermore, under failure conditions of the test equipment, this third component evaporates preferentially into the arc region and substantially reduces the concentration of perchloroethylene vapour, measured at the point of test-equipment rupture. Tests results and emergency exposure limits in tests on a transformer are given in Table 5. The perchloroethylene vapour is replaced by less toxic chlorofluorocarbon products, such as CCl3 F, CCl2 F2 and CClF3 and CF4.
Thus, for example, the presence of trichlorotrifluoroethane in the dielectric fluid (in amounts up to about 10% by weight) promotes the formation of vapour bubbles and incipient boiling, taking up heat from the vicinity of hot-spots in the transformer windings.
A fluid according to this invention has been temperature-rise tested in a typical transformer as shown in the accompanying FIGURE which is a diagram showing some of the locations at which temperature measurements were made. For comparative purposes other fluids which are sold as dielectric and coolant media were also tested under identical conditions in the same transformer.
In the FIGURE, two windings 10 are shown immersed in a dielectric and coolant fluid 12. This transformer was of the sealed type with panel radiators 13, 14 and, for test purposes, was fitted with 48 thermocouples of which 32 were on the high and low voltage windings. T1 and T2 are typical of such thermocouples but particular reference will be made to TT and TB respectively at the top and at the bottom of the fluid. Table 3 shows the values of certain temperature measured:
TT =Top fluid temperature (�C.)
TAVE =Average fluid temperature (�C.)
THOT SPOT =Temperature of hottest part of the winding
The rating of the transformer was 11000/433 volts 3-phase 500 kVA having total `copper` and `iron` losses of 8050 watts and having 18 cooling panels.
The test results of Table 3 show that a fluid according to this invention gave lowest increase of top fluid temperature and showed the lowest hot-spot and temperature rise compared with the other fluids tested.
The temperature difference TT -TAVE clearly shows that the fluid of this invention flows significantly faster than do the comparative fluids. A significant correlation exists between the viscosity of each fluid and its heat transfer properties which are reflected in the temperatures obtained in the test results. In particular, the hot-spot temperature for the transformer with the fluid of this invention is about 25% less than that for BS.148 insulating oil and about a 45% improvement over paraffinic oils.
This test evidence shows that considerable economies can be achieved by utilising the very significant heat transfer properties of the fluid according to this invention in otherwise conventional transformers.
In order to further illustrate the superior heat-transfer properties of fluids according to this invention the following data is submitted showing the winding temperature gradients in the test transformer shown in the FIGURE with various different dielectric fluids; perchloroethylene (P), perchloroethylene+tetrachlorodifluoroethane (112), perchloroethylene+trichlorotrifluoroethane (113), and perchloroethylene+tetrachloro-difluoroethane and trichlorotrifluoroethane.

The "winding temperature gradient" is a well-known parameter used in considering the cooling of transformers and essentially is a measure of the difference in temperature between the mass of fluid and the mass of the coils. It can be seen from the results above that
(i) the use, see (b), of the 2-component fluid blend, according to the invention, shows an improvement of between 30% and 50% in cooling capability compared with the use of perchloroethylene alone, and
(ii) the addition of 9% w/w of trichlorotrifluoroethane to perchloroethylene or 5% w/w to the two-component blend, see (d), gives a further 20% improvement in heat-removal capability--however the use of perchloroethylene+113 is unsuitable because of pour point/pressure considerations. Also the volatility of 113 presents a toxicity hazard at the higher 113 concentration.
In order to illustrate the non-flammability and the low toxicity of transformer fluids according to this invention, under catastrophic failure conditions, the following test procedure was carried out.
A 500 kVA 11000/433 volts three-phase typical distribution transformer was subjected to a catastrophic failure test by arranging an internal short circuit and applying fault energy of 12 kV; 13 kA for a duration of 300 ms. The transformer contained 585 liters of the blend: (66% perchloroethylene with 28.3% tetrachlorodifluoroethane with the addition of 5.7% by weight of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane) in a confined space. Under these test conditions a small quantity of vapour and liquid emerged from the pressure relief valve. There was no flame or explosive gases produced at all. By infra-red measurement the emerging vapour/fluid did not exceed a temperature of 175� C., for a duration of less than 200 ms.
Samples of the small gas cloud around the transformer in the closed space during the destructive tests were taken at intervals of: instantaneous, 10 s. and 1 min. Analyses were carried out on the samples which included infra-red, bubbler and "Draeger" tube techniques. The concentrations, in vpm, of the halocarbons and gases produced were identified and are given in Table 4.
7 sampling devices (at head height) were used:
3 instantaneous
2 at 10 seconds later
2 at 1 minute later.
Table 4 lists the concentrations of chemical species identified in the gas/vapour cloud around the transformer following catastrophic failure, using as transformer fluid 66%/28.3% perchloroethylene/tetrachlorodifluoroethane with the addition of 5.7% (wt. of mixture) of trichlorotrifluoroethane.
Under the test conditions described above none of the concentrations of the chemical species detected represents a serious toxic hazard.
Under comparable test conditions with the transformer unit filled with perchloroethylene alone, the concentration of perchloroethylene at catastrophic failure is typically 3,000 ppm over 2 minutes and instantaneous 6,000 ppm.
In a third aspect, this invention consists in sealed switchgear incorporating circuit-interrupter apparatus having at least two electrical contacts and means for closing and separating said contacts, the contacts being separated in the presence of an arc-extinguishing fluid comprising a blend of perchloroethylene and tetrachlorodifluoroethane.
Switching tests using hermetically sealed units filled with fluid blends, according to this invention, have shown negligible pressure rises following 30 switching operations at 12 kV, 500 amperes and a power factor of 0.7. With BS148 hydrocarbon insulating oil in place of the said fluid and under the same switching conditions considerable pressure was built up after only a few switching operations, causing rupture of the switching device tank. Sealed switchgear having, for example, a nitrogen-filled headspace has the advantage of a predetermined environment, whereas unsealed switchgear can suffer from the ingress of such undesirable extraneous impurities as moisture or oxygen.
Preferably the fluid contains between 10% and 30% (by weight) of the tetrachlorodifluoroethane component.
Typical tests show that perchloroethylene alone has a very unsatisfactory switching performance and is unable to properly extinguish arcs during repeated electrical switching interruptions.
It is understood that this is due, in part, to the decomposition products formed during arcing and also to the breakdown of the perchloroethylene molecule, forming chlorine in substantial amounts. The addition of fluorine-atom-containing molecules in the mixture provides improvement in the arc-extinguishing performance of the fluid. It is believed that the reason for this enhanced performance is the presence of electron-capturing free radicals such as CF3, CF2 Cl etc. Thus, the presence of trichlorotrifluoroethane in the fluid mixture promotes the formation (under arcing conditions) of species such as CF4, CClF3, and CCl2 F2, which have excellent dielectric properties, low toxicity and assist arc-extinction, compared with the two-component fluid, due to reduction of the concentration of perchloroethylene in the region of the arc. The presence of electron capturing free radicals such as --CF3, --CF2 Cl, etc., also appears to enhance the electron-capture properties of the arc-extinguishing fluid.

|what are utils.Fast* for?
|Sat, 05 Dec 2009 11:14:16 GMT
Hi everyone, while trying to get a grasp of the codebase in cassandra, I run FindBugs on it and got a complaint about this code in org.apache.cassandra.utils.FastHashMap.containsValue(Object) """ // special case null values so that we don't have to // perform null checks before every call to equals() if (null == val) { for (int i = vals.length; i-- > 0;) { if ((set[i] != FREE && set[i] != REMOVED) && val == vals[i]) { return true; } } } """ as Findbugs would prefer the last condition to be spelled as null == vals[i] I wanted to look around to check this was not a bug, but then I wondered what is this class for. Apparently all of FastHashMap, FastObjechHash, FastLinkedHashMap, and FastHash are never used anywhere in the code: $ ack 'Fast(Linked|Hash|Object)' -l src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastHash.java src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastHashMap.java src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastLinkedHashMap.java src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastObjectHash.java $ Does anyone have an explanation for this (e.g. they are loaded by reflection by concatenating strings) or are they just remnants of old code?

The Defector (MP3 CD)
Six months after the dramatic conclusion of "Moscow Rules," Gabriel has returned to the tan hills of Umbria to resume his honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, and restore a seventeenth-century altarpiece for the Vatican. But his idyllic world is once again thrown into turmoil with shocking news from London. The defector and former Russian intelligence officer Grigori Bulganov, who saved Gabriel's life in Moscow, has vanished without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent all along, but Gabriel knows better. He also knows he made a promise.
"Do you know what we do with traitors, Gabriel? Many things have changed in Russia since the fall of Communism. But the punishment for betrayal remains the same.
Promise me one thing, Gabriel. Promise me I won t end up in an unmarked grave."
In the days to come, Gabriel and his team of operatives will find themselves in a deadly duel of nerve and wits with one of the world's most ruthless men: the murderous Russian oligarch and arms dealer Ivan Kharkov. It will take Gabriel from a quiet mews in London, to the shores of Lake Como, to the glittering streets of Geneva and Zurich, and, finally, to a heart-stopping climax in the snowbound birch forests of Russia. Faced with the prospect of losing the one thing he holds most dear, Gabriel will be tested in ways he never imagined possible. And his life will never be the same.

Green Leaves Kati Cup - Tea Brewing System based on 0 ratings. 3 reviews.
Fantastic system for both loose leaf and bagged tea. Infuser portion is easy to clean, cups is warm to the touch when filled, but not enough to make it difficult to handle, Keeps tea warm longer than an non-insulated cup.
The only complaint I have about this cup is the lid does not rest on the cup well enough to prevent it sliding around as I carry the cup. The imbalance of the heavy lid has caused a few minor spills. The only other thing that would make this cup better is if it could be carried around & sipped from with the lid on, like a travel cup.

School of Education Hosts Collaborative Statewide School Symposium
On August 3 and 4, the St. John Fisher College Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education and the School's Executive Leadership Doctoral Program sponsored the "Schools Sharing What Works" symposium for charter school teachers, leaders, and board members from across New York State. Over 100 participants came together to share innovative practices and practical strategies for student success.
Dr. Michael Wischnowski, Dean of the School of Education, and Mayor Lovely Warren opened the conference on Sunday evening, followed by keynote speaker Christopher D. Finn, Principal of Lady Liberty Academy Charter School in Newark, NJ. Finn, who was also a founding teacher at Promise Academy in the Harlem Children's Zone, described education as a "calling" and pointed to many specific strategies and techniques that he has seen work effectively with children poised to achieve.
The conference continued with 23 individual workshop sessions ranging from student-led conferences to real estate strategies to the use of common core standards. Workshops were conducted by charter school teachers, leaders, and board members. In addition to key school representatives, sessions were provided by charter school experts from the Northeast Charter School Network as well as charter school authorizers from the SUNY Charter School Institute and the New York State Education Department.

Songcatcher is a 2000 drama film directed by Maggie Greenwald. It is about a musicologist researching and collecting Appalachian folk music in the mountains of western North Carolina. Although Songcatcher is a fictional film, it is loosely based on the work of Olive Dame Campbell, founder of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, and that of the English folk song collector Cecil Sharp, portrayed at the end of the film as professor Cyrus Whittle. Wikipedia

Nice candy apple red! Beautiful to look at. Easy to install. Keeps dirty fingers from contaminating the roll, my primary reason for obtaining this product (Dirty fingers i.e. raw meat/fish coated fingers).
Weak sensor, I need to get like an inch away from the sensor to activate it. Some uneven towel dispensing but I've not experienced frustration because of it, meaning it's been a minor annoyance so far, not a chuck it out the window frustration.
My installation:
Sideways. The base is bolted to a side of a cabinet with the dispensing bar facing the user.
Also has issues seeing you move your hand across it. Must look really stupid trying to get it to activate. Waving up and down, back and forth, hand wide open or not...nothing seems to consistently help.
Should go for a manual dispenser!
My iTouchless Towel-Matic II arrived on Friday and my husband and I have spent the week-end using it. First problem we encountered was that the batteries were not making good connection with the internal workings. My husband then realised that once the screw cap is open (to insert the batteries) there is a little piece of metal that needs gentle adjustment so that it makes good connection with the batteries. For those of you who are having trouble with the Towel-Matic, try giving that little piece of metal a gentle adjustment.
Next problem is that the Towel-Matic is very temperamental about the paper towel it will "accept". The Towel-Matic does not appear to like ribbed paper towel; it jams the machine. We tried four different kinds of paper towel before finding one that worked. The one that works the best for us is a Scott brand shop towel (color blue) that we purchased from Costco in Melbourne, Australia (11 inches x 10.4 inches). That particular paper towel is made in the U.S.A. so you may be able to buy at your Costco stores. As the Towel-Matic was probably designed for use in the United States, I can't complain too much.
Our Towel-Matic is now functioning quite well. We have it upright on our counter top.
The Towel-Matic is not a time saver but that said, as a gadget lover I have to say that I do like it now that we are over the teething problems.

We Lost 8 Million Jobs. Only 1 Million Came Back.
Three years ago, in December of '07, the number of jobs in in this country peaked just shy of 138 million. Then the economy fell apart.
By December of '09, 8 million jobs had disappeared.
For the past year, the economy has been adding jobs — very, very slowly. So slowly, in fact, that the unemployment rate is still near 10 percent.
In all, the economy has added a million jobs in the past year, according to the government employment figures out this morning.
Here's a look at what's happened to jobs in several key sectors of the economy. The dark blue bars show what happened between December '07 and November '09; the light blue bars show the past year.
Manufacturing — always subject to cyclical fluctuations, but also experiencing a long-term decline — got completely hammered during the downturn, and only came back a little bit in the past year.
But at least it came back a little.
With the housing market still in terrible shape, the construction industry continued to shed jobs this year (albeit at a much slower pace).
State and local government (which includes public schoolteachers) was the only sector that both added jobs during the worst of the downturn and lost jobs in the past year. Many state and local governments rely heavily on property taxes, so the housing bust has hit them hard this year.
Health care, the big winner during the downturn, continued to grow this year. The sector has lots of things going for it. A big chunk of its funding comes from the government; the aging population means more people need more health care; and health-care spending is one of the last things people cut back on in tough times.
Here are lots more details about jobs by sector.

For Lorelei Warner, being perfect isn't everything it's cracked up to be. She did what her straitlaced parents wanted: became a lawyer, married her college boyfriend. But since her husband ran off with another man and her career became a nonstop bore-fest, Lorelei has turned to her best friends and Fool Me Once Investigations to find fulfillment and adventure.
When a routine subpoena-delivery turns up a dead body, Lorelei knows that solving the murder is exactly what she needs to boost her confidence…until private investigator Dallas Osborne walks in and takes over the case. Dallas has always rubbed Lorelei the wrong way. It's aggravating enough that he's a pompous ass, but he's also entirely too good-looking.
If she wants to catch the killer, Lorelei will need to loosen up and defy her parents—not to mention the law. And she'll need to partner with Dallas, working closer (much closer) to the sexy investigator than she ever expected.
Join the feisty Fool Me Once ladies for another fun-loving romp from bestselling author Tara Sivec.
Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende
Tara Sivec is a USA Today bestselling author, wife, mother, chauffeur, maid, short-order cook, baby-sitter, and sarcasm expert. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two children and looks forward to the day when all three of them become adults and move out.
After working in the brokerage business for fourteen years, Tara decided to pick up a pen and write instead of shoving it in her eye out of boredom. She is the author of the Playing with Fire series, including A Beautiful Lie, and the Chocolate Lovers series. Her novel Seduction and Snacks won first place in the Indie Romance Convention Reader's Choice Awards 2013 for Best Indie First Book.
In her spare time, Tara loves to dream about all of the baking she'll do and naps she'll take when she ever gets spare time.

48:8-14 We have here the improvement which the people of God are to make of his glorious and gracious appearances for them. Let our faith in the word of God be hereby confirmed. Let our hope of the stability of the church be encouraged. Let our minds be filled with good thoughts of God. All the streams of mercy that flow down to us, must be traced to the fountain of His loving-kindness. Let us give to God the glory of the great things he has done for us. Let all the members of the church take comfort from what the Lord does for his church. Let us observe the beauty, strength, and safety of the church. Consider its strength; see it founded on Christ the Rock, fortified by the Divine power, guarded by Him who neither slumbers nor sleeps. See what precious ordinances are its palaces, what precious promises are its bulwarks, that you may be encouraged to join yourselves to it: and tell this to others. This God, who has now done such great things for us, is unchangeable in his love to us, and his care for us. If he is our God, he will lead and keep us even to the last. He will so guide us, as to set us above the reach of death, so that it shall not do us any real hurt. He will lead us to a life in which there shall be no more death.

Product Description
Product Description
Josh Groban, the biggest-selling male debut artist of 2002, returns with his second studio album, Closer. With his self-titled debut Top 10 and triple platinum -+ and still well in the Top 200 after 91+ weeks -+ Closer finds the young singer once more in the studio with esteemed producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand) and a handful of special guests. A sophisticated pop phenomenon, Groban is back with a phenomenal new album.
Thanks to a fortuitous intersection of talent and fate, 22-year-old Josh Groban hasn't finished his senior year in performing arts school but has already released his sophomore effort on a major major label. Fans of the young vocal phenom's debut will find much to enthrall them here, even if it nudges the singer closer to the center of producer/mentor David Foster's MOR pop sensibilities. Eschewing much of its predecessors more overt classic-lite pretensions and pop-rock covers for a slate of dramatic, Eurocentric ballads that serve as a showcase for the singer's inviting baritone, Groban shrewdly positions himself as the American alternative to the Bocelli-Watson crossover axis. "Caruso" may find the singer falling short of its operatic inspiration, but "Oceano" and "My Confession" quickly showcase the singer's true dramatic range (which seems to all but yearn for a bona fide Broadway musical challenge), while a vocal take of Bacalov's graceful "Il Postino" theme uses classical virtuoso Joshua Bell's violin flourishes to good effect. To his credit, Groban displays some promising efforts at songwriting collaboration on the bittersweet "Per Te" and "Remember When It Rains," while the ambient/ethnic soundscape of Deep Forest's "Never Let Go" offers a teasing alternative to the record's otherwise melodramatic production formula. Groban has found commercial triumph via Foster's mentoring, but there remains a nagging sense here that he hasn't truly pushed himself as an artist--yet. --Jerry McCulley

Top Customer Reviews
The thirteen tracks on "Closer" again showcase Josh's mature
tenor on the variety of songs he performs best: Italian film music (Mi Mancherai, from Il Postino, with musical guest Joshua Bell on violin), lush Italian ballads (All'Improvviso Amore, Caruso, Per Te), a Spanish ballad (Si volvieras a mi), a cover of an Edith Piaf classic (Hymne à l'amour), and a beautiful cover of Brian Kennedy's (with Secret Garden) "You Raise Me Up."
There are markedly more English-language songs this time around, including a collaboration with the French Deep Forest (Never Let Go). Again produced with the help of legendary Canadian producer David Foster (Lara Fabian, Roch Voisine, Céline Dion, Michael Bublé), the orchestrations enhance without overwhelming, creating a dreamy, romantically charged soundscape.
The limited edition features two exclusive songs, Mi Morena and She's Out Of My Life, along with a DVD featuring the EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and a behind-the-scenes look at Closer. Mi Morena is one of my favourite songs on the album, and the extra songs and bonus DVD pay for themselves.Read more ›
Btw- anyone who wants to know translations to josh's lyrics (from both albums) can easily search on a search engine such as google for josh groban lyric translations and tons of sites will pop up with what you want. (i do recomend that you listen to the song first, otherwise you'll be mentally translating the lyrics into english in your head without hearing the song.)

I am starting an ASP.Net application in MonoDevelop (blank slate, hobby). I recently used Selenium on a Java based project for a client so thought I would start implementing some testing right from the get go in this project.
I have a solution with two projects: "Website", and "Website Tests". Unfortunately, I can only run one project at a time. The Website Tests always fail because the website is not running.
Is there a way around this, or am I going in the wrong direction?
Updated Details:
- Confirmed WebsiteTests is set as a "Library"
- Project Options -> General -> Build -> Compile Target == Library
- Exact steps taken
- Select: "Website" Project
- Select: Run with Debugging
- Verify site is running
- Select: View -> Pads -> Unit Tests
- Select: Login -> TestTest (just a blank test, no contents)
- RESULT: pop-up "An application is already running and will have to be stopped. Do you wish to continue?"
- EXPECTED: ability to run tests
Running in separate MonoDevelop instances also has the same problem. This is unfortunate as it makes it impossible to step through your tests and site (have to choose one).
