Higgs still at large

Finally, the picture we were dying to see: 
I hope we find the "bastard", becuase if the window closes completely, we Europeans will have a really bad time explaining why we built such an expensive machine for nothing ...

Even if the window closes completely there remains the region with mh>200 GeV which Tevatron cannot reach. So the LHC will not be dismantled so quickly ;-)

(About the anonymoys reader above:) Isn't it high time to do something for the notion that excluding the higgs is a failure instead of major news and a major feat? I'm just saying...

History of the Tevatron's exclusion window:

170 GeV - Aug 2008
160-170 GeV - Mar 2009
163-166 GeV - Nov 2009
158-175 GeV - Jul 2010

On the average it has been widening at a majestic grass-growing paint-drying rate of about 5 GeV per year.
