Sure it has the possibility to uncover the truth behind the Higgs Boson... but can the LHC uncover the fnords?
Exactly.
Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

Fnord is old school as it can sometimes be circumvented by newfangled technology. These days it is that those who shall not be named use for their dark plans.
Where they want to go with it ?
So apparently the LHC has been fixed - just in time for the release of Angels and Demons. I'm sure there's no coincidence there... I predict we'll see a small flurry of CERN stories over the coming months. There's a new one today on Yahoo! UK:

A few choice lines:
Well I guess electricity and electronics were at fault, but I'd say "explosion" would be closer to the mark. Good to know it's pretty much nailed now. The next 4 months will be taken up with cooling and testing of the machine so that they can hit the September restart.Engineers have fixed the "Big Bang" machine after an electrical fault led to it being shut-down in September last year.
On the subject of Angels and Demons I hear that ATLAS - one of the detectors at the LHC - has been pressed into use as a bit of set for the film, masquerading as an antimatter creation machine. It'll be nice for the experiment to get a bit of Hollywood glamour
On the dark matter side, new data released by the Fermi/Glast satellite over the weekend has thrown all models out of the window. Back to the drawing board for structures of dark matter this week. The race is on to fit the new results.
And that's all for this months update. And oh, just to keep us all up to date with events, and for nostalgia's sake:

Thanks for the updates T. It is also great to know that the LHC has not ended the world. I'm thankful that that site is up to let us know when it happens.
