A quick cross link to a great article on the Higgs boson search at the super liberal web site dailykos.com. A very clear description of the issues. I particularly liked the stats. One other thing to note: the threaded discussion had 433 comments. Those folks know how to chat.[Note: Just saw my mug featured in a comment. I suggested if they were interested in the work, to follow my blogs on Science20.com. Cross pollination is good, hence all the dramatic readings on YouTube.]

Update: Version 2.0 is out where he discusses the Higgs signals at 130-150 GeV and 260 GeV. There is also a summary report on nature.com. As readers here know, read Tommaso to get "closer to the metal".
