not sure
The collider is currently undergoing commissioning while being cooled down to its final operating temperature of approximately 1.9 K (−271.25 °C). Initial particle beam injections were successfully carried out on 11 August 2008[2][3]and the first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for 10 September 2008 at 9:00 GMT.[4][5] The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on 21 October 2008.[6] |

Yes. The first test was to send a beam counterclockwise. The second was to send a beam clockwise. This test is to send a beam in one complete revolution. The actual smashing where they send two beams, one counterclockwise and one clockwise, to collide against one another will not actually happen for a couple months. But don't let sensationalist news media tell you otherwise.
As is typical when it comes to issues where people are remarkably uninformed and ignorant, reality couldn't be farther from the hype: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."
