The LHC is still not operating at top power after one year of studies. Some minor hints of a Higgs, but it must be of much higher power, if it exists. Susy is fighting for its life (That's super symmetry theory for beginners).-http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110725/full/475434a.html?WT.ec_id=NATURE-20110728

A more optomistic interpretation of 'no Higgs', It may be lighter and harder to find. -http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20838-dont-panic-about-the-missing-higgs--for-now.html?DCMP=NLC-nletter&nsref=dn20838

Size range narrowed:-http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-09-endgame-higgs-boson.html

More theory explained about the theoretical Higgs. Another theoretical particle pops up:-http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-09-higgs-boson-size-universe.html

Ho Higgs yet but new findings in charge-parity violations:

More on no Higgs. Energy range is very narrow, if present:

http://www.nature.com/news/higgs-hunt-enters-endgame-1.9399

That is a very very narrow window. Do you think they will find it? Personally, I doubt it.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.

That is a very very narrow window. Do you think they will find it? Personally, I doubt it.

That leaves those other theoretical alternatives, W & Z, etc. We shall see.

An observation that we may never reach a theory of everything.

The battle rages. String theory is touted as predicting the size of Higgs.

New try for Higgs at higher energies:-http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/13/cern-scientists-crank-up-the-power-on-large-hadron-collider-to-try-to-find-higgs-boson/

No higgs yet, but a beauty baryon which fits the standard model in quantum chromodynamics:- http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=new-beauty-baryon-particle-discovered-...

According to an article in today's Sunday Times, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, director of the laboratory conducting the hunt for the Higgs boson ("one of the longest and most costly in scientific history") thinks there may be up to five such particles. This could keep his team in work for 20 more years.-I'm sure we'll all rejoice with Herrn Heuer at the prospect of his team's job security. ("Heuer", incidentally, is a North German word for a seaman's pay.) But what really took my eye was his concluding comment: "We will know if the Higgs exists at all by the end of this year. That I can pledge." -They will know, of course, if they find it. But if they don't find it, they will not know that it doesn't exist, and so they will not know if it does exist. As with God, so with the God particle. Ah well, perhaps in the next 20 years his team will have time to study a bit of philosophy.

GEORGE: Higgs is in Bristol on 16th May if you want to find him!-http://www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk/events/graham-farmelo-peter-higgs/-Graham Farmelo is the biographer of Paul Dirac.----It would have been fascinating to "find" Higgs and to hear his thoughts about the still missing boson. Alas, I can't go - but thank you for the tip.
