The Year of the Quark

"Cap'n, I don't think there's any more power to give!"
-Montgomery Scott, USS Enterprise


The powers-that-be in Switzerland at CERN have decided to ramp up the power in the final quest to uncover the Higgs boson.  That is despite the fact that it has probably already been found!   It's like discovering the 999,995th gold coin known to be on the Titanic before announcing that the Titanic had been found.  The first 900,000 might have been enough of a hint, except for those persistent, pesky Particle Physicists!
