If the SM Higgs exists, it appears highly likely that it is in the region between 114 GeV (the LEP limit) and 158 GeV.   The most relevant graph is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/presspass\/images\/higgs-20100726\/TevatronHiggsLimitsJuly2010_mr.jpg\">here<\/a>.  It shows an excess of about 1 sigma over the entire region 125 GeV to 150 GeV, which unfortunately is nothing more than the barest possible hint of something actually being there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just got back from vacation this morning.
