Well the conference's and announcements are done

No Higgs in range 145 to 466 GeV.

A 120-140 GeV light Higgs would require 10Fb of data so the coffin won't be nailed on that until next year.

So looks like we might be heading to higgless physics which will be interesting because thats sort of what QM has been suggesting.

Wikipedia list of higgless models is probably incomplete but worth looking at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgsless_model)

As Doug Sweetser would say we ain't got not stinking Higgs :-) (http://www.science20.com/standup_physicist/blog/higgs_we_aint_got_no_higgs-78245)

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
